The evidence of the crucifixion
The Crucifixion and death of Jesus is evident in the stories of the Gospels and Old Testament passages when they showed the coming of a Messiah who would take upon his shoulders the guilt of our sins.
Archaeological evidence also supports the crucifixion as an indisputable historical fact that reveals the cruelty and barbarism of the Romans.
A place was found in Israel in 1968, which contained the bodies of 35 men, each of whom had suffered a brutal death for days about the time of the Jews fighting against Rome in 70 AD An inscription identified one of these man named Yohan Ben Ha'galgol. When his bones were examined by specialists at the Hadassah Medical School, it was determined that the man was martyred 25 to 30 years old, and measured five feet six inches.
Dramatically, these characteristics also showed that the man had been crucified in a manner similar to that of our Lord Jesus Christ. A nail had pierced both feet, which were bent outward so the nail could be nailed in the Achilles tendon. The nails also crossed forearms, just below the wrists. The tests were made to the bones also revealed that the man's legs were crushed below the knees. In John 19:31-33, we read that the Roman executioners expedited the death of crucifixion victims with hammers for breaking the legs of the crucified, it quickly caused them prevented them from suffocation after being pushed back with your legs to inflate their lungs air. We know that Jesus did not break any bones because they certified his death the Romans giving the spear on the side from which flowed blood and water. But this was anticipated in the Old Testament and was another example that Jesus is indeed the Messiah.
Another archaeological discovery dating from the first century AD, is a stub that has not been identified in another cemetery discovered in Jerusalem. At the present time is sheltered by the Israeli Antiquities Authority, and exhibited at the Israel Museum, this dramatic fossil still has hosted a large nail in the heel. It seems that the executioners reached the bone when the victim nailed to the cross, and could not get the head when he took the body for burial.
The suffering of Jesus on Calvary is fully corroborated the dreadful torments undergoing sentenced to crucifixion are fully exposed through archaeological evidence leaves us amazed. Thank God for these evidences to silence the voices of those who seek to confuse truth with strange hints of the authenticity of the Bible.

February 11, 2009 at 15:48God does exist, You have created
Throughout history man has tried to prove the existence of God through philosophy, faith and science. None of them has succeeded, so I've tried reasoning with God through psychology. The man is a rational animal, and as such, questions everything around him. Man created God when I prune explain some things (natural phenomena, biological, physical, etc.).. So God is a human need to hide the gaps of ignorance. What man knows, he fears. His fear leads him to adore him, respect him with the intention that God does not do him harm. Good examples that corroborate this theory are:
1: All primitive peoples have their own mythologies, which shows that the gods are a necessity.
2: All mythologies are similar in the sense that in the sense that some gods meet common functions (god of wisdom, the earth, war, death, Sun, etc..), Demonstrating that men did not understand some things. That they did not understand the fear and gave them worship with the intention that they do not hiciese harm and help them.
3: Men have always been placed in a lower layer to the gods. And so they worshiped and offerings to keep them from evil hiciese, which shows that men feared that the gods did not know then
4: The mythologies a god priority over others. This is what God has more influence on the culture or the most abundant in it, It shows that fear what they do not know and what they most fear it has more influence (the Egyptians as the chief god Ra, because the sun is fully conditioned habitat).
5: All the evidence that God exists have a similar way. First they show something that is not understood, then to find no reason why you think you can only be God. Perhaps the clearest example of this are the 5 ways of St. Thomas Aquinas. But fails to prove the connection between the phenomenon and God is, just think it must be God because no other way to explain the cause of the phenomena that is, showing that man has created the gods to cover the gaps of ignorance.
6: Different religions imposed and now proposed as a solution to the God of things not known to science, which shows that God is a patch of reason.
7: Practitioners of a religion (not believers) admit to feeling a sense of fullness with religion. This feeling is due to meeting that need. This shows that God is a necessity.
Faith is unreasoning acceptance of certain parts of reality. This acceptance does not raise or investigate a rational cause of reality, what has caused the almost unusable Fe reason. But this acceptance has not always produced, making it possible to use reason. So you can define the Fe jail metaphorically as the reason. When reason escapes Faith is when you know the world.
The current major religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism), have something in common: a creator god who also look like the Father. This is because it has not changed the basis of what I said before God is. This God is also the result of closing the gap of knowledge that still exists. This gap is the origin of the universe. The day they know the origin of the universe, God disappears.
In conclusion we can define God as a psychological need to plug the holes right. - Romi says:
February 11, 2009 at 17:46God is far beyond the mere speculation of its existence, because how could mortal man as it is, explain what immortal? Science can deny the existence of God but clearly, science is based on laboratory testing, God can not be contained by vessels, the man wants to explain who God is? There is no way you can. The try is the height of folly.
However, and God through the gospel came forward to explain that he does not believe the faith is "crazy." And even if it is crazy, how many miracles have been indescribable and unimaginable power of this "madness", and the saints of God throughout the world are living proof that God is not a human invention but an unstoppable force to which everything, absolutely everything and everyone must submit. - Telluric says:
March 2, 2009 at 3:50"The archaeological evidence also supports the crucifixion as an indisputable historical fact that reveals the cruelty and barbarism of the Romans."
Remember the flood? Who caused it? God. Make it rain for forty days and forty nights to die drowning man, ie, suffering for forty days ... is not that outrageous an absolute and endless cruelty? Do you think the typical act of being merciful? He had power enough to destroy the human race without anyone suffer, but preferred to see how he suffered. Yeah you're right, the Romans were barbarians and God is wonderfully kind.

March 4th, 2009 at 15:23Look, pirmero take into account one thing:
Mankind in Noah's time was already in his downfall, it was perverted by itself, did not let themselves be loved by God, not worship him, gave him shoveling hiding in the violence and wickedness, much blood shed for their sins . God cleanses the earth because it was necessary to end the evil in men lived longer. Instead, Jesus suffered and if He was not bad, but one perfect in goodness and mercy, all-loving Father Abia one wants to reconcile with him in the second chance he has given to mankind. And you prove that God is Almighty, because eradicated humanity has denied perverse as Creator, and Creator swept all, but has also sought and called his people and the Christian converts many times, because even had professed love for its creation, otherwise, neither you nor I nor anyone Telluric be here. First read the Bible and then you think. God bless you. - tami says:

June 24th, 2009 at 10:00Jesus Christ is God, if it's love, forgiveness alos killed him, he said, Ye will not come ami to have life, he wanted and still wants to be saved, but unfortunately the majority of people reject his forgiveness, jesus said, if you believe that I am in your sins shall die, As soon as it pretended that they deny the existence of God with psychology, I will say thank god, there is been, and will continue to spiritual people who will stand by God, that if Moses saw the bush, and instead of kneeling, cut a twig Hubis to be examined in a laboratory. Believe it or not you face it, because it is written that every knee will bow before him. Amen

July 10th, 2009 at 2:07I'm at a point in my life when I is very difficult to give an opinion on what I believe is the truth.
Just think ... If you say you are going to hit you, they'll slaughter you will deform the face and on top of that crucify you, and thanks to this all (all) mankind was complete unless ... accept?? ?? (You would be the Savior and would be as HERO forever)
But not only that .... If I gave THE CERTAINTY TO RISE IN 3 DAYS and THAT Besides that we raised to a PERFECT PLACE WHERE YOU WILL reigns FOR EVER AND EVER ... accept???
MMM ... I wonder:
IS THAT IS A SACRIFICE?

My neighbor is a great example of IMITATION OF GOD.
I really am so surprised that I can not believe who cares so much for being like God (at least in some fundamental aspects).
My neighbor has 4 children who LOVES THE GREATEST LOVE I'VE SEEN.
He is always aware of their needs and have been told that when they need something DO NOT HESITATE to ask. Nothing makes him happier than happy to see their beloved children.
I wrote a list of rules to follow in the home.And to think that all the time know what is becoming one of the 4.
One day I visited showed me I had a special place in his basement. It was a warm, dark soo. He breathed with difficulty.
I said: - "But, man ... ¿¿¿This is a special place?
He said: - "Of course! OBVIOUSLY, NOT MY DESIRE BUT ... I have this space is reserved, if at some point it occurred to my children not to love me, or not believe what I say!
I had no choice but to congratulate
His effort to be like God was the best I have ever seen ...
At the end of the day, those responsible for entering that place will be only their children. ONLY HE IS READY!

March 15, 2010 at 22:14In my humble opinion, a good Christian should not look for evidence of Jesus Christ, as He Himself said, "Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they who have not seen and have believed" (John 20:29). This refers to Thomas refused to admit the resurrection of Jesus until you check with your own eyes ...

July 23, 2010 at 0:24Hi, I read the reply "Cost"
often know the lei, to understand the reasoning maximum time to Christianity, and
I think it's a very good response, a response is very well made, but I also think it's a reply "Reply" at one of the hemisphere. Psychology, Psychology and more of the same.eh taken courses in religion (All) and Psychology courses, be it communication, human development, juvenile behavior etc ...
I once heard a very simple but very accurate "God is not an explanation, is an experience"
if you want to split hairs, you begin to investigate this "Experience", as you will lose your life researching, all I can say is that I became a god 8 months ago and all reasoning callus automatically when God revealed to my life. I guess I also tried to explain that Revelation of which I speak, and also that the answer does not explain.
To conclude, all can be answered in life if you dig and dig, but the experience you have with God, no answer, only.If you are interested, Try to live that experience and give us alive when the same response, but developed on both sides of the coin. I assure you all expect that response
This is like a sweet man, can not explain the taste, take it and know the taste
with all humility and respect is my answer
a hug! - San Marcos says:
August 10th, 2010 at 7:24With people like you are tolerated injustices such as stoning, oppression of women and their subjection to man, the Indian massacre, rape of children, etc etc, because it is "the word of God." It is the perfect tool to control the population, and you contribute to it. When was the first time to think for yourselves? When you gave him a new name to something that did not have to be in the Bible? Recognize them, just what I predigais have been drilling in the brain throughout your life.
- CARLOS Says:
August 25th, 2010 at 2:32Well, in my humble opinion, a believer who deign and proud of it must be well grounded beliefs. How can you say that "A GOOD CHRISTIAN SHOULD NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF JESUS "????
On the contrary! You believers, must have more desire to solidify what was supposed to BELIEVE.
And let citing "rhymes".
Realize! "Faith" is blackmail churches teach us (ALL) to stop thinking and accept what we give, without even saying something. Because if so, their power would be threatened.
PEOPLE THINK NOT! That trying to tell us? Blindly accepting dogmas and stories just because!
Give me one good reason why this is valid with Christianity and I'm not good with any other religion.
THE TRUTH WILL MAKE YOU FREE! ¿¿Why Jesus did not say?
BECAUSE Search It! THEN talk about it.

God does not respect our Mothers, Daughters,
I think it is more decent to say that our antepadaso is a Monkey. - Ana Velez says:
October 13th, 2010 at 11:22HOW CAN BELIEVE IN GOD? WITH SO MUCH PORNOGRAFOA on the internet, God would not respect OUR MOTHERS, DAUGHTERS, WIVES,

- Nis says:
October 18th, 2010 at 20:46I think that modern man seeks to limit the power of God rather than closer to it and experience its beautiful friendship. People criticize the Bible, especially those who have not fully read, understand the question because it was written by men inspired by the Holy Spirit and it is a book that now more than ever comes to life with all current events have been written centuries ago.

November 16th, 2010 at 16:52Good to tod @ s on the blog.
I have some time searching for historical evidence, any mention of Jesus proven. Both believers and atheists tell me that there was, but nobody is able to give me even a vague reference, even such as "Jesus is mentioned in the writings of Roman historian / Hebrew / Greek / where is found in such a dating site the time when Jesus lived. " This leads me to question its existence even as a real historical figure.
And not only that, the most fervent believers resort to lies, which reminds me of that famous phrase "lies only when needed"
Thanks in advance

November 20th, 2010 at 7:23Reading the dates, I guess the answer of John was copied to respond to me. Sir John (Lord administrator or, if it was you who put the answer here): this is not an answer to give to an adult. If you do not find any evidence despite his knowledge and studies on the life of Jesus please do not try to mislead in order to maintain its position. My quest is serious and legitimate, and so I ask for help in a blog which brings together Christians (I guess at least as informed as me). If you do not want or can not brindármela is their right to ignore me, now I would ask (and ask positions) than those who respond, try to use serious arguments, which of course does not fit the usual "I have no answer but to see if the school you on the other side. "
Thank you very much at all.
Paz.
