I've done a bit of research on the wounds. If you wanted to put nails in a secure location without breaking the bones then one would go in-between the 3rd and 4th metacarpal and depend upon the transverse metacarpal ligaments to prevent tearing. The second would go between the distal radius and ulna and depend upon the DRUJ (Distal Radial ulna joint) for support. The side spear wound would have to go into the 9-10 or 10-11 intercostal space and be large enough to drain the plural effusion. In the above x-ray you can see the plural effusion on the left side of the image (the patients right) where the water has totally displaced the lung so that it can no longer inflate. Christ's physical death was likely due to asphyxiation secondary to the crucifixion. the artist's depection of the side wound above is way to small and pretty. The soldier must have been pretty good at his work if he drained the effusion with a single thrust. John 19:34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. This is what we use to drain plural effusions in the hospital. And this needs to be emptied... This is the normal color of a plural effusion. The nail in the foot is also a curiosity. Most of the time you see artists display the Lord with a nail thru the arch of the foot (highly unlikely). This is a heel bone (Calcaneus) that was found in Israel There is ample literary evidence for Roman crucifixions (ie. Josephus, Plautus, Senneca). Archaeological evidence for Roman crucifixion was unearthed in 1968. That year, a construction crew accidentally dug up several tombs in northeast Jerusalem. Inside the tombs were several ossuaries, including one inscribed with the name Jehohanan (Yehohanan), which contained skeletal remains of an adult male, including his heel bone with a nail still embedded in it. The anthropologist who examined the remains determined that Jehohanan had been in his twenties when he was crucified in the first century (ca. AD 7-66). Further study has revealed that Jehohanan had likely been crucified with a leg on either side of the cross and the nail driven in sideways through his heel. https://biblearchaeologyreport.com/2021/04/02/top-ten-discoveries-related-to-jesus/ I have personally placed many calcaneal traction pins. You can do it without breaking the bone. A nail placed from dorsal to plantar thru the arch of the foot would be unstable, likely causing a metatarsal fracture and would cause the ankle to roll over and supinate. Most common use of a calcaneal traction pin nowadays. External fixator for tibia pilon fracture.

Thanks, yeah makes a big difference. Robins are everywhere. Cardinals are mostly on the Eastern half of the USA. vs

Not my Joseph Hail to the man.

Not my Jesus. https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2024/02/02/effeminate-image-of-jesus-sparks-culture-war-in-spain Notice how the artist totally missed the wrist nail wounds. It’s like he didn’t even read the text. He probably just recalled the stories of his youth and is trying make Jesus Christ into his perceived perfect person. Unfortunately, its a common mistake.

It really confuses me when I walk around BYU campus and see effeminate males. Are we reading the same text?

Alma 48: 17 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men. Im pretty sure that Mormon named his son Moroni based off the reasoning of the above verse. Captain Moroni is a great example of manhood. The best example is Christ. Unfortunately, many artists, directors, and writers have portrayed Christ as a weak gentle man with feminine characteristics. He was not. The Book of Mormon give us a lens to better understand the masculinity of Christ.

We got another one. My wife was following him prior to his baptism. He loved the temple open houses. Our clear communication. And Robins (the birds).

One of my favorite side dishes. Charoset - Fruit, nuts, and spices, meant to represent the mortar that the Israelites were forced to use to build the egyptian cities. My plan for this year: Gala Apple, Pear (chopped & strained) Roasted nuts (Pistachios, pecans, pine) Ginger, cinnamon stick, anise, salt, pepper Dates, Figs, Prunes, Currants Honey, apricot jam Pomegranate / grape juice Lemon juice & zest It’s good on the lamb sandwich and as a topping with the Matzah bread (crackers). Do people really eat sodium free crackers?

You probably need to get out more. (should have strike-thru formatting) I have a very diverse group of clientele. It takes quite a bit to surprise me now though. As I am quite seasoned. Hope to retire in 10 years. Me, “You did what!?” Edit, I mis-read your reply. Us old / experienced guys have seen some stuff.

When people don't follow directions and then complain that the recipe was terrible. https://www.boredpanda.com/bad-recipe-substitutions-reviews-complaints/ This happens in the church too. And with my patients…

https://californiagrown.org/recipes/winter-stew-with-tri-colored-carrots/ I also made this last week while looking for more common passover recipes. The prunes were better than expected. I also added some figs.

Likely new addition to the menu

It’s so late this year. I love to celebrate it the Thursday before Easter but it’s supposed to be celebrated beginning at sundown on Monday, April 22 thru sundown on Tuesday, April 30. What are yall doing? This will be our family’s 4th year to partake of the Seder.

From the Webester 1828 Dictionary 3) law the railing in a courtroom that encloses the place about the judge where prisoners are stationed or where the business of the court is transacted in civil cases the whole body of barristors or lawyers qualified to practice in the courts of any jurisdiction And from the BoM 1 Nephi 12:9 And he said unto me: Thou rememberest the twelve apostles of the Lamb? Behold they are they who shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel; wherefore, the twelve ministers of thy seed shall be judged of them; for ye are of the house of Israel. 10 And these twelve ministers whom thou beholdest shall judge thy seed. And, behold, they are righteous forever; for because of their faith in the Lamb of God their garments are made white in his blood. I bet that we will be judged by our current apostles. I'd prefer to have Elder Monson or Erying pead my case. But I'll probably get McConkie or Packer.

Gold is down The NASDAQ is up Crude oil is down The market is not impressed with Iran’s counter.

I bet Israel returns fire. But Passover starts next week, Monday April 18 - Tuesday April 30. Probably in May.

A bit of saber rattling going on.

Jacob 5:3 For behold, thus saith the Lord, I will liken thee, O house of Israel, like unto a tame olive tree, which a man took and nourished in his vineyard; and it grew, and waxed old, and began to decay. The average lifespan of an olive tree is 5-600 years but some live 2000 years. So the only man that could have nourished the tree was the Lord.

I’m out. Good luck on your journey.

Nope. Brigham Young claimed that he was taught the doctrine from Joseph Smith. Specifically not ‘thus saith the Lord’ Most likely Joseph Smith was trying to teach Brigham Young some profound doctrine that Brigham Young obviously misunderstood.

You may need to brush up on your understanding on doctrine. May I recommend: https://rsc.byu.edu/vol-17-no-3-2016/doctrine-models-evaluate-types-sources-latter-day-saint-teachings If you did your homework reading Journal of Discourses 1: 50-51 You will see that Brigham Young prefaces his discourse with the commentary “upon which subject the Elders of Israel have conflicting views. Scripture is the golden standard. General Conference talks and official proclamations are of a lesser standard. In official proclamations there is obvious unanimity. The Adam God Theory is categorized as esoteric doctrine.

Thats the beauty of having the scriptures and all the GC talks. You have to personally do your homework, know the scriptures, read (and understand) GC talks, as well as employ personal revelation. All the sources disagree with the so called ‘Adam God Theory’. From time to time there will be big policy changes in the church but Eternal / Core doctrine never change. You may have noticed thru the many postings of this thread that one person has been arguing their position contrary to everyone else. That is called an outlier, and generally the outlier is wrong. There is benefit to understanding doctrine and living your life in accordance to the covenant path. Take the material as a whole and stop clinging to your personal doctrinal fancies, or conspiracy theories. Jesus Christ is not trying to confuse you, and the General Authorities have made great sacrifices in their personal lives to help not hinder the saints. If you look at Joseph Smith’s final general conference talk (the so called KFD), and you study it, you will find that he quotes scriptures extensively. He did not give chapter and verse, but he quoted scripture. The Adam God theory is confusing, contrary to eternal and supportive doctrine and isn’t supported with scripture. I’m not sure if it was ever taught during a GC meeting either.

That’s pretty simple minded. If you believe in God, the Light of Christ, and the holy Ghost, and you have honed your spirit of discernment; then you personally know what is right and wrong, fringe and grey. Most everyone knows when they are sinning. It ain’t hard. This past conference there was a talk given by Andrea Muñoz Spannaus wherein she took the 5 stones that David had prepared to fight Goliath and used them as a medium for a message about the “strength we need to be triumphant in our lives” Faith, Trust, Courage, Obedience, and Praise Then she added that she wished David had a 6th stone - Testimony. She kinda lost me there with the analogy. Her talk was fine and I know it was reviewed before she gave it. But it just wasn’t the same caliber as Holland, Oaks, or Bednar. Sometimes we just need a reminder to keep on the path. The Beware of Pride talk was life changing, if one would allow it.
