Is it true that Jesus died on the cross, and that it later proved fatal?

Answer 1

Something like that - yes.

To the person below me: that in fact *is* the point of this question.

Answer 2

No the Romans knew it was fatal in fact putting people on the cross was a major punishment because of the pain caused and the length before death

Answer 3

No. Jesus died on the cross, was buried and 3 days later resurrected.

One unbeliever said, "No words would have been uttered by a person dying of asphyxiation on a cross."

My answer was "Unless He was God." Even the Roman Soldier who witnessed the Crucifixion said, "Surely this is the Son of God." That soldier had seen many men die and he knew this was not an ordinary man.

Answer 4

Good question

Only you have not phrased it properly.

Not many Christians have heard of the "Turin Shroud", which was used to cover Jesus after his disciples rescued him from the cross.

Jesus could never survive after that - and could make only one appearance before succumbing to his wounds. He did not die on the cross - but then again, I am saying something that will kill me with thumbs downs.

Christians call this the resurrection.
Many know this as a scientific fact.

There are no miracles in this world. Only science.

Answer 5

you are saying he died on the cross .well that would be fatal the later part he rose from the dead 3 days later to have eternal life and to be proven we have eternal life if we folow him

Answer 6

If Jesus is God . . . how can he die? He's supernaturally beyond life and death. Where's the "sacrifice"?

The bible starts with Original Sin, then closes with salvation by Jesus' crucifixion. Because Eve disobeyed God, God cursed mankind, in perpetuity, with Original Sin. Seems kind of spiteful, don't you think? I'm no more responsible or accountable for Eve than I am for Hillary Clinton or for you. Anyway, God sent Jesus (God sent himself?) to die on the cross to forgive us for being sinners . . . which God imputed upon us to begin with. Sounds like a con scam to me.

Answer 7

WHO MOVED THE STONE?" or "who ROLLED away the stone?" (Mark 16:3) is a question which has worried theologians for the past two thousand years. Mr Frank Morison, a prominent Bible scholar, tried to nail down this ghost(s) in a book bearing the same title as this tract. Between 1930 and 1975 his book has gone through ELEVEN editions. Through all his 192 pages of conjectures he failed to answer ,"WHO MOVED THE STONE?" (Faber and Faber, London). On page 89 of his book, he writes, "We are left, therefore, with the problem of the vacant tomb unsolved" and proceeds to advance SIX hypotheses, very nearly knocking the proverbial nail on the head with his FIRST supposition, i.e. "THAT JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA SECRETLY REMOVED THE BODY TO A MORE SUITABLE RESTING PLACE". After confessing that this Joseph "might himself have removed it for private reasons to another place, is one which seems to carry considerable weight" (italics mine), he hurriedly disposes this hypothesis on the flimsiest ground. As you read on, dear reader, I trust that you as well as Mr Morison will have a satisfactory answer to this problem. Let us begin at the beginning of this problem.

It was Sunday morning, according to the Bible, the first day of the week, when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus (John 20:1). The first question that bedevils the mind is:-

Q1: WHY DID SHE GO TO THE TOMB?
Ans: The Gospel writers say that she went to "anoint" him. The Hebrew word for anoint is "masaha", which means - 'to rub', 'to massage', 'to anoint'. The word and its meaning are the same in the Arabic language also. From this root word "masaha" we get the Arabic word "MASEEH" and the Hebrew "MESSIAH" both meaning the same thing - "the anointed one" which is translated into Greek as "Christos" from which we derive the word Christ.

Q2: DO JEWS MASSAGE DEAD BODIES AFTER THREE DAYS?
Ans: "No!"

Q3: DO MUSLIMS MASSAGE DEAD BODIES AFTER THREE DAYS?
Ans: "No!"

Q4: DO CHRISTIANS MASSAGE DEAD BODIES AFTER THREE DAYS?
Ans: "No!"


It is common knowledge that within three hours after death, rigor mortis sets in - the breaking up of the body cells - the hardening of the body. In three days the corpse starts rotting from within. If we massage such a rotting body, it will fall to pieces.

Answer 8

He died, and then it was fatal?

Answer 9

True and Jesus are two words that don't belong in the same sentence...it's a fairy tale.

Answer 10

Death is fatal, so yes.
