1 | Christ died on a stake and not a cross? | John 19:17 | benjamite | 62347 | ||
In other words, Searcher, you are saying that Christ died on a cross, not just a stake. I tend to agree. 1) In Matthew 27:37 it says that the charge was put above His head - seeming to imply that his arms were sideways (and not above his head) - evidence for a cross-beam. (Or, if the other were true, why not say "above His arms"?) 2) Since "the cross" was carried to the site, this also serves as evidence for a cross beam, at least in my mind. For it seems implausible for an upright stake (capable of fully supporting an adult male "lifted up") to be carried to the site - since it would be somewhat longer than an arm-span. So, the cross-beam, alone, was carried to the site, and the cross-beam, by itself, at least by this point in history, was also refered to as the cross. Also, Searcher, where did you get the information on the root being the same as that of "histemi"? |

benjamite, The online source is http://biblestudytools.com/. Enter "cross", check Include Study Tools and press Find. Then select stauros ... there select 2476, which is histemi. I have notes in my Bible. Searcher |

I don't know what I did wrong, but it didn't come up that way for me. I didn't run across histemi, only stauros. |
