Hi @KarlGessler ! So happy you're on board!

Welcome @Gary7Sara! So glad you're on board!

How great that Light must have shone on that dark day! For though He was a naked, bloodied pulp of flesh hanging on a cross crowned with thorns, mocked and convulsing with less than a handful of his followers present, the thief somehow saw a triumphant and mighty King crowned with Glory and clothed with splendor and righteousness and was happy to be only a thought in His Kingdom to come!

Jesus, help me to let my light shine in every circumstance so others see You.

Finally he can allow his body to die. --C. Truman Davis, M.D

All this the Bible records with the simple words, "And they crucified Him."

Then another agony begins: a deep, crushing pain deep in the chest as the pericardium slowly fills with serum and begins to compress the heart. It is now almost over--the loss of tissue fluids has reached a critical level--the compressed heart is struggling to pump heavy, thick, sluggish blood into the tissues--the tortured lungs are making a frantic effort to gasp in small gulps of air. He can feel the chill of death creeping through is tissues. . .

Finally carbon dioxide builds up in the lungs and in the blood stream, and the cramps partially subside. Spasmodically he is able to push himself upward to exhale and bring in life-giving oxygen.

Hours of this limitless pain, cycles of twisting, joint-rending cramps, intermittent partial asphyxiation, searing pain as tissue is torn from his lacerated back as he moves up and down against the rough timber. ...

Again he feels the searing agony of the nail tearing through the nerves between the bones of his feet. As the arms fatigue, cramps sweep through the muscles, knotting them in deep, relentless, throbbing pain. With these cramps comes the inability to push himself upward to breathe. Air can be drawn into the lungs but not exhaled. He fights to raise himself in order to get even one small breath.....

extended and toes down, a nail is driven through the arch of each, leaving the knees flexed. The victim is now crucified. As he slowly sags down with more weight on the nails in the wrists, excruciating, fiery pain shoots along the fingers and up the arms to explode in the brain--the nails in the wrists are putting pressure on the median nerves. As he pushes himself upward to avoid this stretching torment, he places the full weight on the nail through his feet.....

What happens during a crucifixion as described by a medical Dr "The legionnaire feels for the depression at the front of the wrist. He drives a heavy, square wrought-iron nail through the wrist and deep into the wood. Quickly he moves to the other side and repeats the action, being careful not to pull the arms too tightly, but to allow some flex and movement. The cross is then lifted into place.
The left foot is pressed backward against the right foot, and with both feet ..(continue in comments)

interesting read. Forcing companies to hand over encrypted data through backdoors backfires on the US as it suspects Chinese Company Huwei from using those same backdoors to spy. 😯 https://www.yahoo.com/news/whatsapp-seized-us-allegations-against-113414178.html
