Quality facts with Joseph Scott Moore.

My friends, as I am beginning to lay down this sound for you, I'm reminded of the fact that we are actually in the middle of the Lenton season.

That means that we are quickly approaching, Good Friday, and of course, Easter.

And when you think about Good Friday, one of the things that jumps to mind for believers and non-believers at a base level, people

understand what that meant.

And it certainly meant one of the worst deaths that the Roman Empire could inflict upon one

of their subjects.

And of course, I'm talking about crucifixion.

Horrible, absolutely horrible way to die.

And contrary to what most people think,

crucifixion in the ancient world did not necessarily involve the nailing of someone.

It was kind of a suspension asphyxia, where the hands and the feet were bound to a cross,

and they were left to hang and linger.

Today, we're going to talk about a case that has the earmarks of crucifixion.

The earmarks of crucifixion and a man that is gentle and kind and a man of God, a man that had his own flock, a man that had his own church.

But he was not found at his church.

He was found at his home in his bedroom, in a posture that he was left in.

And what authorities are saying, and I quote, that he had been pinned to the wall and of course dead. I'm Joseph Scott Morgan and this

is body backs. Dave, I wanted to hop on with you, my friend, because this is a follow-up to an episode that you and I had done.

And I remember both of us at that time.
