Is it true that Joseph, (father of Jesus) had a contract, with the Romans, to make crosses for crucifictions?

Answer 1

Yes, a copy of the oiginal contract was found buried on the moon. In Elvis' unfinished peanut butter jelly sandwich.

Answer 2

No. If you do research on the Romans, you will discover that they did not use crosses, as is widely believed, but instead used a stake, or an upright pole of wood.

Physically, those who were killed on the "cross" died because of the immense pressure that was put on their bodies from being hung up, and their hearts literally stopped working. This is not possible on a cross, since there is no pressure because your arms aren't upright, like they need to be, but stretched out at your sides, thus relieving the pressure.

The only conclusion is that a person must die on a stake to put them in the proper physical position for death.

Answer 3

Not in the Bible but would be quite ironic. Maybe you're thinking of the film The Last Temptation of Christ, where Jesus (Willem Dafoe) in the beginning actually makes crosses for the Romans to string Jews up on. No wonder the church didn't like that film!

Answer 4

What grew to grow to be of Joseph, Jesus’ adoptive father? After instantly performing contained in the outline of that one incident from Jesus’ kids, Joseph disappears from the Gospel list. some take this absence as an illustration that Joseph died sometime formerly Jesus’ ministry began. after all, it does look that Mary replaced right into a widow by the end of Jesus’ ministry. on the time of his lack of existence, Jesus entrusted his mom to the apostle John. (John 19:26, 27) Jesus might want to not likely have done so if Joseph were nonetheless residing. that is low-priced to trust that Jesus took over because the numerous breadwinner of the kinfolk even as Joseph died. As Jesus’ brothers grew, they could be able to settle for his or her percentage of kinfolk household projects. “custom proclaims that Joseph died even as Jesus replaced into yet youthful, and that the latter took up the chippie’s commerce and grew to grow to be the help of the kinfolk. This famous some help contained in the Scriptural testimony the position Jesus himself is termed a chippie, and his mom and brethren are pronounced, yet Joseph is skipped over. that is rather likely, then, that the lengthy era of eighteen years of our Lord’s existence, from the time of the incident to the time of his baptism, replaced into spent contained in the performance of the conventional responsibilities of existence.” Mary and her little ones, consisting of Jesus, likely knew the soreness that consequences even as a loved husband and father dies. Like many servants of God, no human being is familiar with the position they're buried.

Answer 5

Now! Now! Look what you have done?

You have now given Jesus a third father.

The Gospels already tell us he had two fathers, the Father and the Holy Ghost, and that Joseph was willing to have Mary stoned to death for adultery for he had not yet enjoyed any sex with her and he found her pregnant.

Luckily, good old Zeus came to Joseph in a dream and told the naive carpenter that his woodwork was not up to scratch and calmed the old fool.

Anyhow, luck was with Christ again when the crosses mde by Joseph, wicked old man by then, was used for the two thieves only and Joseph failed in his bid for revenge as Pilate released Christ and crucified the two Jesuses instead.

Answer 6

It doesn't say so in the Bible. I guess it is technically possible as he was a carpenter. But it isn't likely as he wasn't an outcast in society, as he would have been had he been working for the Romans, just like the publicans were.

Answer 7

As a carpenter that is plausible. He only nailed two pieces of wood together you know like the grave digger only digs a hole.

BTW, as a JEW I doubt he would be able to say NO to the ROMANS...if the story is true.

Answer 8

No. Jesus wasn't even crucified, he was impaled; the original Greek and Hebrew words used in the bible represented a tree or pole-like object. So technically Jesus had two nails; one for both hands and one for both feet. I think this would of been even more painful. If you don't believe me I would encourage you to research this for yourself.

Answer 9

No he was a gas fitter by trade - but in the evenings he moonlighted as a bouncer at a night club.

Answer 10

Who knows! I don't believe anybody knows, how can they ? Being a carpenter is not a good enough reason, there were many carpenters in those days. This is dreaming to me. Amitiés.
