Judas killed himself before Jesus was executed, not after. I didn't know forensic science evolved during biblical times. And the bible can hardly be used as evidence, as there are to very different stories on how he died. A) Forinsic science is irrelevant. The discussion is concerning religion (the entire basis of which comes from the bible. You already used the bible as "evidence" in your opening assumptions about the very existence of both Jesus and Judas (since there is no record of either existing outside of biblical scripture). So as long as you are using the bible as the basis for your entire idea (which assumes that these people you are discussing did in fact exist), then you cannot just throw out what it says when it flat out contradicts your idea. B) There are only TWO stories concerning the death of Judas, and neither one directly contradicts the other. One says he hung himself, the other says he fell in a field and his body split open. It is entirely plausible that both of those things occurred (he hung himself and then his body fell when the rope gave way). Regardless of how he died, both versions are consistent about the chronology. It is implied by one and directly stated in the other that this occurred after he betrayed Jesus, but before Jesus was executed. |
