Consider what the video said. They were adept at this practice...

The easiest way to do said execution is a stake...

And... there is no mention of a cross beam

ya?

The Romans did both, the reason why I included the second video was to show the family of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus etched crosses on their ossuary boxes and not a stake. They were witnesses to the crucifixion.

How would one etch a stake into stone?

the cross is nothing but a symbol borrowed from another religion... which represents life and immortality in said religion

Has nothing to do with what HE was nailed to

Lol the mark in the stone has nothing to do with Royal property or nails! It's actually called a Datum used by Ordnance Survey as an indication of height.

So the horizontal line indicates vertical height, and the nails are what? Symbol for a surveyor's tripod? Every tripod I've ever owned was thicker at the top, and legs narrowed at the bottom.

The three nails, I would guess, are an indication of official Royally Commissioned Survey.

U.S. doesn't use a symbol like that for survey benchmarks.

ETA

I have used scratch marks when cutting wood or metal though. Only needs two to indicate the point where they meet, not three.

Welcome to ATS

I threw the three nail cross in there because I thought it looked cool too.

There are enough people arguing about the how of crucifixion, I don't have any new insight to add.

the nails would be tantamount to idolatry

Well, maybe the tombs of the Jerusalem apostles and the family of Martha, Mary and Lazarus shouldn't have them etched all over their ossuary boxes.

I tend to think the eyewitnesses to the crucifixion could figure out if Christ was executed on the Roman cross or a stake, they were there.

I would like it if you check out my thread Creating Christianity in the Conspiracies in religion section.

2000 years ago and you think bone boxes and eyewitness accounts exist?

Luke was Lucius Plutarch. John Mark was a friend of Babnabas and Clement of Rome and a Mystagogue from Egypt. Matthew wrote for the Ebionites and John was written to combat the Neo-Platonic Gnostic Jews and Egyptians of Alexandria who were popular and borrowed Philo Judaeus Logos model to make Christ God.

a reply to: MuffenstuffGnosisiisfaith,

Opinions do not facts make.

a reply to: ChesterJohn

I told you gnosis is better than faith if that's your motto I'd lose it. Knowing is better than believing so gnosis is not faith.

And Opinions do not make facts, correct. People are of the opinion that Christ is real and in their minds he might be but even they don't actually know.

So faith also doesn't make fact. A book doesn't equal proof of anything so you have your opinion and I have mine.

I Know the story of John Mark and he was a Mystagogue and Luke was most likely Lucius Plutarch. Matthew was an Ebionite and his work was later embellished upon. John was according to scholars written to introduce the doctrine of the Logos that factually is Platonic and later used by Philo Judaeus who would have been contemporary with Christ but never mentions him though he was a Jewish philosopher and historian.

A little fact and a little opinion but it doesn't make a difference because you are of the opinion that Christ was real.

a reply to: Muffenstuff

No it is who you are.

How many user accts on ATs do you have now?

It's interesting how you are so worried that everyone else gets the fact it was a stake and not a cross right
Only a few posts back you said only fundys cared what it was, you seem to care. Very Jehovah witness like

Stake, cross, it doesn't make a difference to the outcome, christs was executed, the point is Christ, not the stake or cross or whatever it was
