Why did jesus have scars from the crucifixion?
January 19, 2014 at 12:10 pm
Why did jesus have scars from the crucifixion? Scars are results of the body reacting to injury in an attempt to heal itself, but jesus was divinely healed, as his entire body was supposedly dead, so the scars would have had to been artificially made, a sort of god's Photoshop to fool the ignorant jesus followers with faked information. If jesus' body had not been altered, just reanimated, he should have been Zombiefied with rotting flesh and maggots. Perhaps it would have been even better to have had an never ending supply of blood pouring out of his wounds as he walked along, that would have convinced them even better. But healed scars doesn't fit the magic narrative, the goat herder gospel writers just didn't know any better.

Answering the op title.
For the sake of Thomas and those who who would doubt who he was, and what He had endured.

Actually... didn't the guy only keep the holes in his hands?
The scars on the head from the crown and the back from whipping...? what happened to those?

So god deceived them to fit with their ancient imagination of what a crucified man should look like?
Yep, sounds like the deceitful god of the christians to me!

Yep, sounds like the deceitful god of the christians to me! The guy sneaked out of the tomb, hoping no one would see him.... then he had to come up with a way to make others believe that he was the one that had been put in the tomb... sounds legit!

Why do beheaded corpses not have a head linked firm to their bodies?
... Ask a silly question, and you'll get a silly answer.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Actually most the portrayals of the crucifiction are dead wrong. Here is a article from a Bible archeology site that offers so great info
http://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily...ucifixion/
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

One partial skeleton and partial nail and you say that the portrayals of the crucifixion are wrong, the evidence that was examined was scant and in no way can be used to draw a complete conclusion. It's been known for quite a long time that suffocation was a primary cause of death, however the account of Jesus beating and crucifixion would lead one to believe blood loss was the cause of His physical death.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Once again we have to go with archaeology over G-C's pleading bullshit about his gospels!
You know, G-C, xtians did not even start to depict the alleged crucifixion of their godboy until the 5th century.
