Well, that's been disproven a thousand times in many different ways. But the Journal of the American Medical Association several years ago published an evaluation of the death of Jesus Christ. And the conclusion was, quote, clearly the weight of the historical and medical evidence indicates that Jesus was dead even before the wound to his side was inflicted.

So, and in fact, the atheist New Testament scholar, Gerrit Ludeman, says it's indisputable that Jesus was truly dead after being crucified. We have no record anywhere of anyone ever surviving a full Roman crucifixion. And not only do we have multiple reports of his death in the documents of the New Testament, we got five-inch sources outside the Bible that confirm his execution.

So we have Josephus, a first century Jewish historian who worked for the Romans. Tacitus, another early historian. Meribah, Serapion, Lucian. Even the Jewish Talmud admits that he was executed. So this idea that somehow Jesus survived the cross and was revived by the cool, damp air of the tomb is ridiculous.

I would say... it approached how bad it was, but didn't fully capture it. I don't think it could have because people would have been so, people would have been vomiting in the audience watching if they had taken it to the, don't you think? Yeah.

And that's how many years before the death of Jesus, 600 years or so? So 780 years before Jesus, Isaiah writes.
