1 | Christ died on a stake and not a cross? | John 19:17 | Hank | 62341 | ||
Hi, Searcher. I speak to the question more than to your answer, which was terse and to the point and yet refreshingly adequate and complete. Which is the more important consideration: Whether we call it a cross or a stake or -- as I've heard it called -- a tree, on which Christ our Lord died, or whether we spread abroad the life-changing Good News that He did suffer and that He did die for the sins of the world; that the third day He rose from the dead; that He ascended into heaven; that He sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead? But thank you nontheless for your kindly attending to the user's question. My object is just to try to impress on all of us, new questioner and all users alike, how easy it is to focus on trivial detail in Scripture and thus possibly rob ourselves of time that could be used more productively by a keener focus on the monumental truths of which minute details form only a background aid in revealing God's eternal word to us. --Hank | ||||||
2 | Christ died on a stake and not a cross? | John 19:17 | Sir Pent | 62342 | ||
Support ........................................ I completely agree with Hank here. As I have often said, this forum has so much potential to be truly meaningful to a world of people searching for answers. However, for that to happen, Hank has hit the nail on the head. We should answer their questions about the details. But our overall goal should always be to point them to God, Himself, and His overarching message of love, forgiveness, and desiring a healthy relationship with each of us. And that is only possible through Jesus, and His death on the cross. Thanks Hank, for putting things in perpective on this one :) |

Thank you, Sir. All I can say is that even a blind sow (or in my case, a boar -- or bore?) stumbles upon an acorn once in a while :-) --Hank | ||||||
