Dennis One difference being that Jesus Christ came to the Earth to die for our sins whereas JFK was a man that lived on the Earth, got to be President and made some decisions that people didn't like. When people were crucified they died from exhaustion and lack of oxygen(suffocation). To breath in they hadto push down on their feet to take the tension off their arms so they were able to breath in. When a person got too tired from loss of blood, lack of water and exposure they took less and less pressure off their arms so they slowly suffocated as their breaths got shallower and shallower.
