Title: Jesus died of blood clot, Israeli researcher says

JERUSALEM - An Israeli researcher has challenged the popular belief that Jesus died of blood loss on the cross, saying he probably succumbed to a sometimes fatal disorder now associated with long-haul air travel.

Professor Benjamin Brenner wrote in The Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis that Jesus’ death, traditionally believed to have occurred 3 to 6 hours after crucifixion began, was probably caused by a blood clot that reached his lungs.

Such pulmonary embolisms, leading to sudden death, can stem from immobilization, multiple trauma and dehydration, said Brenner, a researcher at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa.

“This fits well with Jesus’ condition and actually was in all likelihood the major cause of death by crucifixion,” he wrote in the article, based on religious and medical texts.

A 1986 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association mentioned the possibility that Jesus suffered a blood clot but concluded that he died of blood loss.

But Brenner said research into blood coagulation had made significant strides over the past two decades.

He said recent medical research has linked immobility among passengers on lengthy air flights to deep vein thrombosis, popularly known as “economy-class syndrome” in which potentially fatal blood clots can develop, usually in the lower legs.

Brenner noted that before crucifixion, Jesus underwent scourging, but the researcher concluded that “the amount of blood loss by itself” would not have killed him.

He said that Jesus, as a Jew from what is now northern Israel, may have been particular at risk to a fatal blood clot.

Thrombophilia, a rare condition in which blood has an increased tendency to clot, is common to natives of the Galilee, the researcher wrote.

Whose popular belief ? I was never aware that this was even considered a cause of death. But hanging on cross is slow asphyxiation, fluid build up in the lungs.

Right.. but what is significant about the blood of Jesus that some would want to undermine?

the clinical reasons for his death are insignificant when compared to the spiritual reasons he died - but did not remain dead.

Well yes and no.. for without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.. so what they are trying to do is say basically He cannot be the sin sacrifice as there was no blood shed that led to his death.. and without His resurrection, He would be just another martyr..

John 19:34
But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

Regadless, with the beating, flogging, nails and the stab wound in his side - there WAS blood loss. Prophecy was fulfilled regardless of the clinical cause of death. His blood was spilled, clot or not.

That scripture can be "clinically" picked apart as well, I just find it funny that "scientists" think they can disprove the work of God in this way.

It is as it was. End of story.

I dont disagree.. but it is the blood that is the stumbling block.. for Jesus to be the savior.. the messiah.. He would have had to fulfill the prophesy.. and that prophesy had to do with a sinless sacrifice.. the blood of that sacrifice shed for the remission of sin.. so for many this is what has to be disproven..
