He was a carpenter, after all.

Thanks for the compliment!!
But yeah, i mean, why would you get nailed by your hands? Your skin and hand muscle could not support all of your weight like that. Its like simple physics or something. like gravity. Anybody hung on the cross like He was was nailed like, right inbetween the two bones in the wrist, so that it couldnt break through the skin like it would the hand. Well, thats what the Pastor says.
Also, they usually used a support on the bottom of the cross, with the feet, so they they were nailed to the support, and that's where they would actually stand.
Discovery channel did a show on this once, and they said that if nails in his hands were the ONLY thing that were holding him to the cross, then yes, gravity would have ripped them out, but the mere fact that his feet were nailed to the cross too, took the pressure off of his hands to the point that he would have stayed.
But like i said, it's not really that important.
But yeah, I was watching this movie on it, and they showed that the legs were slightly crossed and at a slight angle, so if you did happen to, say, 'rip, your hands, you wouldnt be able to stand anyway, and the way they were nailed, even if they were tied down they would have fallen, because if you were slightly slouched foreward it would put a great deal of pressure on the chest area, because your legs and feet wouldnt be holding any of it, so the victim would most likely suffocate, which would be the equivilant of the roman just sitting there watching the torture, watching whoever was on the cross suffocate to death.
I definitely like this! The more 'torn apart' the flesh looks, the more Biblical it's potrayed
I like The Message version of Isaiah 52:13-15
Thanks for your comments!
"Passion of Christ" the movie.. Where His suffering is detailed illustrated. I`ll fave your picture for sure..

Nice detail on the arm.

Anyway, I find that I have a hard time "feeling" any emotion over what Jesus did for us, so I kind of force myself to feel, and I do that by drawing painful pictures.. do you know what I mean?
I really do appreciate what Jesus went through.. though I so long to identify with it, I have a hard time realizing the severity of it all..
I hope I'm making sense?
but in the fact that it carries such emotion behind it. And such meaning.
It really made me think... about all He went through, because He loved us..
that much. Brilliant piece. It doesn't shy away from what we need to see,
and what we don't like to think of. The club needs more artwork like this.
God bless you and your talent....Thank you for posting it. =]
wow
very powerfull image. i think u captured the pain and suffering very well...
But if that happened, we'd all be condemned. A day doesn't go by that I am reminded of His Grace and Love for us.
Thanks, RK.
Thank you!!
great job dude!
Hands that flung stars into space, to cruel nails surrendered.

But to keep his hands from tearing free from the raiload spikes going through them, his arms were thoughrly bound to the cross beams, to keep his upper body on that cross of wood.
Thanks for commenting!
But I think I know what you mean, it was about handing oneself over into the jaws of the beast, an ultimate act of sacrifice.
