As an agnostic I don't want to offend anyone's beliefs, we're all entitled to believe whatever we like, but I have read of the theory that Jesus lived for some years with a sect, it may have been the Gnostics but I'm not sure, who practised a build-up of endurance and tolerance of physical pain. The theory goes that he was able to survive cricixion, being lucky in that it was on a Friday and Jewish law, which the Romans repected to some degree, would not allow the victims to remain in situ, on the crosses, over the Sabbath. It would explain the resurrection. The NT has the story that in Jesus' tomb the women found 2 young men sitting by the empty shroud - medics?

Doubting Thomas would not believe Jesus was alive until he saw him - and saw the wounds of the nails in his hands and feet. They would certainly be there if the man was recovering from crucifixion and the NT says the wounds were there - and raw.

That doesn't mean I believe a word of this tomb discovery nonsense. What a good way to prepare for a Hollywood blockbuster. How long before the film comes out?
