Bible Question: Did Christ died on a stake and not a cross? |
Bible Answer: Word study ... Stauros - Histemi ... Vofori, greetings. Stauros is the word translated cross. It means "an upright stake, esp. a pointed one" or "cross" ... a stake was in the ground and Christ, as well as many others, carried the cross beam to the site of the stake. It is from the base of histemi, which usually means stand. Searcher |
