How does crucifixion kill?

Crucifixion kills by asphyxiation. Hour after hour, the victim is left hanging from the cross. If he hangs from his arms, he can not breathe properly and must soon take his weight on his feet in order to draw breath, but fatigue soon causes him to hang back on his arms. When he is no longer able to raise his weight onto his feet, he must then die from asphyxiation. This is confirmed by the author of John's Gospel, who has the soldiers break the legs of the other two crucified men, in order to hasten death before the Sabbath.

What killed Jesus Christ?

Jesus died for our sins. That was the reason he came down to earth to save us.AnswerIndeed, it was our sins that killed Jesus. The proximate, physical cause that killed His Body was asphixiation due to Crucifixion. When a person is crucified, they are nailed, hanging on a cross. The only way that you can draw a breath is to raise yourself up, hanging with your arms out and above you contracts your chest and diaphragm and you can't draw a breath unless you raise yourself up. But to do that you have to push up on a large nail threw your feet and pull on nails through your wrists. This is the most excruciating torture - you can't even pass out from the pain. The soldiers broke the legs of the two thieves who had not died yet, with their legs broken, they were unable to raise themselves enough to breath. Jesus had already died, so his legs weren't broken.
