Question: How could they possibly nail both hands and also his feet to a stake? In order to do this the hands would have to be behind the stake, palm side up or above the head. In either case the intent of asphyxiation would not be possible. Try it. You'll prove it to yourself. | ||||||

I believe it is the one who suffered on the cross that we should focus on. Read Psalm 22 which provides graphic detail of death by crucifixtion. It helps us in a measure to understand what our saviour indured at the hands of sinful man and at the hands of a holy God as Christ was made sin for us. In Psalm 22:14 "I am poured out like water and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is melted like wax in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a postsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; thou hast brought me into the dust of death" Psalm 22:14-15 In v. 16 we read "...they pierced my hands and my feet" Yet when man had done his worst, the scene was clothed in darkness from the sixth to the nineth hour. It was during this time as the Lord Jesus bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that he cried that desolate cry as described in V1 "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" He was forsaken that we might not be forsaken for all eternity. God bless Robert |

As opposed to the shape of the cross? You've got a good point if you're not one who likes to dig into details and trivial points much. Clearly it is not important what the shape of the cross was, but as a point of interest. I know some get mad and crinkle their nose at discussions that don't tackle earth shattering revelations in doctrine. But some like it, as do I. Important? No. Interesting? Yes. |

Greg: I did not intend to belittle your interest in the cross. I agree that that the details and trival points are interesting. I am not "mad and crinkling my nose" at your discussion. Peace in his name Robert Nicholson |

No offense taken, and I was not referring to you when I said some get mad and crinkle their nose. It's just a general observation I've noticed here. Some apparently think we can't discuss lighter points or engage in curiosity. That is not to accuse you, as I said, just a general observation. | ||||||
