Post by b***@allvantage.comRe: 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,
No, it does no such thing.
And how is this cross any more _pagan_ than anything else the government did? Or
are you trying to use the association with paganism as a sneaky way of fooling
people into accepting your specious reasoning?
Post by b***@allvantage.comFor example,
notice this verse at Ac 5:30,
I noticed it. I noticed it does NOT imply what you say. Not at all.
Post by b***@allvantage.com"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a
tree." (KJV)
This is a misleading translation; it doesn't say 'tree'. It says WOOD.
Post by b***@allvantage.comIf you take a small tree and cut off its branches, you can end up with
a long pole.
This is completely irrelevant, since it says WOOD, not tree. And there are other
reasons for its irrelevancy, too.
Post by b***@allvantage.comThus you can see why this verse is worded that way.
And it is NOT worded that way to support your ridiculous argument.
Post by b***@allvantage.comMore 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.
If you are _interested_ in what the Bible _really_ means, don't bother sending
the email to someone who just gave you a load of trash.
And trash IS what Bireda's post is! Everybody knows Christ was executed by order
of the Sanhedrin, confirmed by the Roman procurator. Everybody knows the
standard method of execution was crucifixion. And everybody knows that
crucifixion is on a _cross_.
Everybody knows all this, except for dogmatic dupes who follow JW nonsense.
