Another form of torture was to impale the victim, rectally, on a spear. QUESTION: If that happened to Christ, would you wear that gold charm around your neck (A guy with a pole up his butox)

I think the Ottoman Turks used impaling as a form of execution for their Christian subjects. The Ottoman Empire has not existed since 1923.
Romans exclusively used crucifixation. Christ is the Tree of Life; He was lifted up on the Tree of Life and died for the sins of mankind.
Since Christ was not executed by rectal impaling, the question is moot.

excellent question. It's is a very odd charm to wear around ones' neck, after all this is a form of capital punishment. I odn't think the spear was actually used int he manner you suggest, perhaps they were bound ot poles, but not speared in this manner.

I don't know. The point is that it is the sacrifice he made for me. If a friend of mine jumped on top of a hand grenade to save my life, I would probably wear a gold charm of a hand grenade around my neck, too.

Well actually we know Christ would not have died like that because he had to fulfil the scriptures of old testment which states cursed is every man that hangs on a tree. but most ppl shouldnt be wearing a crucifix on there neck anyways,its a graven image...sooooo no i dont think ppl would wear it.

I'm a Christian and I do not wear the cross. For example, if my mother got shot and died, I would not wear a gun around my neck in rememberance of her. Also, many Christians have pictures of Jesus christ dead on the cross. If that was your family member, would you have a picture of him/her dead up in your living room?

Changes in the koran/quran that you say did not happen:
http://answering-islam.org/Quran/Text/index.html
Original sin- How can you believe that man is anywhere worthy of going to Heaven simply by being a human being and God's infinite power to forgive sin? Of course God can forgive all sin, there is no question in that. He made man perfect, and man fell from grace by sinning. Adam turned his back on God, and you expect God to simply just forgive? Man CHOSE to sin and continues to CHOOSE to sin. That being the case, God made it where we can CHOOSE to either continue being a sinner or to accept salvation. No-one is worthy of gaining access to Heaven except through the cleansing blood of Jesus.
Atonement- Adam asked forgiveness and it was so? No-one disputes that, no-one disputes that anyone can be forgiven of sin, the problem is that God and Heaven are perfection. There is no room for anything short of perfection. We can be forgiven, but that means we have sinned, which right there makes us imperfect. On Judgement Day, even if you prayed for forgiveness as you die and are forgiven, you are still imperfect because although you are forgiven of sin, you are imperfect in God's eyes because you HAVE sinned. To be perfect, you would have to have NEVER sinned. On Judgement Day, those that are saved will be washed with the pure blood of Jesus, and that is what will be seen, that perfect blood of Jesus. It is one thing to be forgiven, it is something totally different to be made perfect in the eyes of God to gain admittance to Heaven.

Tony,
Hey Jerky!
Just because Akmed doesn't worship the popsicle man like you do doesn't mean he can't have a sense of humor about it.
If Jesus were alive today, he's laugh so hard the nails pop out of his hands and he'd fall off that cross.

I love this question. Think of the opportunities for all sorts of possible torture devices. The butt spike though . . I love it.
