Re: Did Jesus die on the Cross? |

Re: Did Jesus die on the Cross?
Hello,
Actually, evidence in the Bible points to Jesus being hung on an
upright wooden pole of some kind, not the pagan cross. For example,
notice this verse at Ac 5:30,
"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a
tree." (KJV)
If you take a small tree and cut off its branches, you can end up with
a long pole. Thus you can see why this verse is worded that way.
More in this subject, and what the Greek word translated as "cross" in
many Bibles really means. If you are interested, just send me an
email.
Sincerely, James

===>Cross or utility post, what difference does it make, except to the
JWs who try to differentiate themselves from the rest of the Christian
crowd?
If the story were true, he was executed for fancying himself as the new
king over Judaea without the permission of the occupying Romans, in
whose opinion they were the ones to decide who rules their conquered
provinces.
In any case, Mary was lied to just to let herself be impregnated. Her
son never did get the throne of Daviod, as she was promised.
If the story were true, that is.
Of course it is pure fiction. -- L.

It says "tree," not "pole." It also says "hanged," probably
like an ornament.

Crucifixion on a cross was a common execution method of the Romans.
There's nothing to suggest he was killed otherwise.

Starving dogs eating the condemned bodies was common, too.
There's nothing to suggest his body wasn't eaten by dogs, either.

Note that "tree" is also synonymous with a type of coat rack, as
in a hall tree.
