If Jesus had been executed in the mid 20th century would Christians be wearing little chairs around their neck

Question

or nooses? or syringes?

Answer 1

ROFLMFAO!!!

can you imagine everyone wearing guillotine necklaces?

Answer 2

That question HAS been worn out, but it does bring up a point that many christians don't seem aware, which is that crucifixion was the common means of execution at the time.

Answer 3

If you love someone enough I suppose they would. But it would probably be more in the line of photographs in this day and age.
Do you have photographs of anyone you like. Or do you put nooses around their necks and syringes in their arms?

Answer 4

I don't think so. I think they adopted the cross, not just because their messiah was crucified on one, but because it is a simple, yet evocative design. Syringes might work, nooses too, but I don't think little chairs would catch on.

Answer 5

No because Jesus would have been locked up in a Mental Hospital long before he would have got executed.

Answer 6

Good point. I think too often the cross becomes a religious symbol, and Christians forget the true meaning . . . that it's an instrument of death we are all called to bear.

Answer 7

Or some kind of gas symbol. Don't know how you would depict being executed in a gas chamber.

Answer 8

Lol. Or a syringe.

Answer 9

LMAO.... I can picture a giant electric chair on top of the church down the street instead of that huge cross. What a nice visual. Thanks for the laugh!

Answer 10

Maybe so 2000 years from now.

Answer 11

I've put up with just about all I'm going to listen to out of you.
