1. JESUS WAS RELUCTANT TO DIE!
He had worked out a strategy of defence to repel the Jews. Because he wanted to remain ALIVE!
2. HE BESEECHED GOD FOR HELP.
With strong crying and tears for God Almighty to keep him ALIVE!
3. GOD "HEARD" HIS PRAYERS
Which means that God accepted his prayers to keep him ALIVE!
4. AN ANGEL OF GOD CAME TO STRENGTHEN HIM:
In the hope and belief that God will save him ALIVE!
5. PILATE FINDS JESUS NOT GUILTY!
Good reason to keep Jesus ALIVE!
6. PILATES WIFE SHOWN A DREAM IN WHICH SHE WAS TOLD THAT —
"No harm should come to this just man." In other words that he should be saved ALIVE!
7. SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE CROSS FOR ONLY THREE HOURS.
According to the system in vogue, no man could die by crucifixion in so short a time which means that even if he was fastened to the cross — he was ALIVE!
8- THE OTHER TWO — HIS "CROSSMATES" ON THEIR RESPECTIVE CROSSES WERE ALIVE.
So Jesus too, for the same

9. ENCYCLOPEDIA BIBLICA UNDER ARTICLE "CROSS" — COLUMN 960 says:
"When the spear was thrust — Jesus was ALIVE! "
10. "FORTHWITH" CAME THERE OUT BLOOD AND WATER:
"Forthwith" means straightaway, immediately which was a sure sign that Jesus was ALIVE!
11. LEGS NOT BROKEN — AS A FULFILMENT OF PROPHECY.
"Legs" can be of any use only if Jesus was ALIVE!
12. THUNDERSTORM, EARTHQUAKE, AND DARKENING OF THE SUN ALL WITHIN 3 HOURS!
To disperse the sadistic mob to enable his "secret disciples" to help, keep him ALIVE!
13. JEWS DOUBTED HIS DEATH:
They suspected that he had escaped death on the cross — that he was ALIVE!
14. PILATE "MARVELS" TO HEAR THAT JESUS WAS DEAD. He knew from experience that no man can die so soon by crucifixion. He suspected that Jesus was ALIVE!
15. BIG ROOMY CHAMBER: Close at hand, and big and airy for willing hands to come to the rescue. Providence was out to keep Jesus ALIVE!
16. STONE AND "WINDING SHEETS" HAD TO BE REMOVED: Only necessary if Jesu

Quite to the contrary, Jesus did die and did rise from the dead. An honest examination of the Gospel accounts of Christ's crucifixion shows that no other outcome is even remotely feasible. Check out the first link below.

I'm not going to address all of the stuff you posted. Instead, I will say this:
1. The government never denied that Jesus had died. They simply insisted that the disciples had stolen the body, hence the empty tomb.
2. Jesus WAS dead when He was pierced by the spear. Doctors all agree that the liquid that poured out proved this.
3. Before Jesus was even hung on the cross, He was already half-dead. Remember, He was whipped thirty-nine times with a whip that had pieces of metal and glass at the end. He also had a crown of thorns shoved onto His head. He was beaten severely. AND He had to carry His cross part of the way to Golgotha. He had also been up for more than twenty-four hours, praying in Gethsemane. AND when He had been sweating blood, it broke down the capillaries in His skin, making Him more vulnerable to the whippings He received.
4. The disciples did not take His body. He was buried, and a Roman guard, which would have included at least half a dozen Roman soldiers, was placed at the entrance.
5. Pilate DID pronounce Jesus innocent, but the people wouldn't hear of it, and he was afraid of them. So he gave them what they wanted.
The whole reason Jesus cried out to God was because He knew what was coming, and He didn't want to go through that. But in the end, He accepted it.
Give it up, Jesus WAS crucified, and He DID die on the cross.

yeah, wasn't that sneaky of the disciples to darken the sun so they could trick everbody! That's absurd. The earth was dark because God had to turn His back to Jesus while H bore our sins God cannot look upon sin.
Blood and water CAN spill out of a dead body hanging on a cross. The spear only had to nick any part of the abdomen, liver, stomach or bowel.
All of your statements are explained if you read the whole thing in the Bible, don't throw in your tilted opinions.

Yeah, so people don't die on crosses, even after a spear is shoved into their sides, what are you trying to ask?! Why would he want an agonizing death? The angels didn;t want this upon him, and no, he should not have died, he was an innocent, that is the whole basis the for christian faith. An innocent dying for the sins of all, not someone killing others for their own afterlife.

Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus predicted His death and He also knew who would betray Him. Everything went like it was suppose to. Jesus came here knowing what His purpose was, to die and resurrect for our sins. At the moment that He prayed He was already feeling the sins of the world on Him.
God can do anything, Jesus gave His spirit up when it was time.

Nothing will perish the falshood of the crucificrion because the bible itself says man himself hardens his heart (to truth).
But to me, the emphasis should be on His resurrection! That too is still being denied to this day,i.e. someone carried away His body (His discipless are most suspect)-yet without explaining how that huge/heavy a stone could be moved without supernatural intervention.

You forgot to mention that Jesus was whipped viciously, then bashed by trained soldiers. And you say that 3 hours was not long enough to die. Most people would have died from that alone before getting to the cross. Read the bible more carefully please.

look i guess your crusifixion test is really good but, it can't be prooved, because we weren't there, sometimes science is not right, because sometimes weird things happends, and you just can't explain it with science, maybe Jesus was alive, maybe not, maybe he`s God's son, maybe not, maybe he was the messiah, maybe the humanity made up all of it, we actually don't know anything because we weren't there and the only thing left is to believe in what other people says...
well it's my opinion hope you apreciated
bye... hugs kathy

sorry this isn't an answer to you
mr. lust--u r a fool, just because this ArabBible decided to use another term for God does not mean Allah is not arabic for God. I know many Arab Christians and have seen their personal bibles and have seen ALLAH not ALILAAH being used! They will even tell you that themselves...
this is just another proof of Christians changing the bible around!!!!!!!!!!!!
