Jesus Did Not Die On The Cross????

Answer 1

and you didn't type that question

Answer 2

You are correct to a point. Jesus did not die on the cross, He gave it up, because He knew that there was no other way that man could be forgiven of their sin. One sacrifice for all men. And that included those that have past on before Him. He went down into the bowels of hell and fought Satan for their souls. Then He took the key (to the grave which Satan held) and freed all mankind from the grave and hell when He resurrected. This you can read in His Holy Word, the Holy Bible ( KJV ).

Yes, I do believe that Jesus died on the cross, for the sins of ALL mankind, Jews, Moslem's, Buddhists. Christians, and yes Atheist as well (hope I don't offend any by not putting all down). That is why my God is so great, because His Son died once for all. Even the Satantic cults. God gave us the free-will to choose who we will follow. God or mammon.

So choose wisely and build your house upon the rock. Jesus, which is the chief corner stone.

God lives.

Answer 3

Correct.

The Gospel accounts all use the Greek word stau·ros′ when referring to the instrument of execution on which Christ Jesus died.
(Mt 27:40; Ma 15:30; Lu 23:26; Joh 19:17,19,25)

The word stau·ros′ refers to an upright pole, stake, or post. The book The Non-Christian Cross, by J. D. Parsons, explains: “There is not a single sentence in any of the numerous writings forming the New Testament, which, in the original Greek, bears even indirect evidence to the effect that the stauros used in the case of Jesus was other than an ordinary stauros; much less to the effect that it consisted, not of one piece of timber, but of two pieces nailed together in the form of a cross." At Acts 5:30, the word xy′lon, meaning “tree,” is used as a synonym for stau·ros′, denoting an ordinary piece of upright timber or tree, rather than a two-beamed cross.

Quite some time before the Christian era, crosses were used in ancient Babylonia as symbols in the worship of Tammuz, the pagan fertility god. From there, the use of the cross spread. Centuries later, the Israelites even adulterated their worship of Jehovah God by thus venerating the false god Tammuz. This form of worship is refered to in the Bible as a 'detestable thing'. Ez 8:13,14

Answer 4

Methinks you doth protest too much or that you believe the Da Vinci Code too much, As a non-Christian I can honestly say that those people who are Christian and even Islamic believe that Jesus died on the cross. And belief is more important than fact. I personally do not know if Jesus existed, but feel that since about 1/3 the world does, he must have died on the cross. Besides who can prove the unprovable?

Answer 5

Not sure what the question is, but if you're asking if it was a cross or a stake, let me say that it was a stake - possibly one with a crosspiece, possibly not.

The Greek word "stauros" as used in ancient writings had the basic or primary meaning of stake and was used to describe any kind of torture instrument that was basically a stake or tree, regardless of whether it had a crosspiece, seat, frame, or not. The Letter of Barnabas (written within a century after the crucifixion) says of the word "stauros", in reference to Jesus' stauros, that it was shaped as a T, which would indicate it had a crosspiece. It was a method of execution used by the Romans. Early Christian writings give NO indication that the "cross" as a symbol originated out of Tammuz worship or because of any pagan influence.

In fact, the writings of Minucius Felix show that pagans ridiculed Christians because they - according to the pagan accuser - "worshiped the deadly wood of his {Jesus} stauros".

Another word used by the Bible writers for Jesus' death stake is "xylon" which means something made of wood. (The Greek word for wood is "xylo".) It is often translated as wood or tree, but gives no clue as to the shape. Both a stake and a crosspiece were simply a piece of timber, so the use of the word xylon isn't helpful in determining whether the stake had a crosspiece or not.

The writer Seneca, in the first century, describes 3 different stauroses which he said were fashioned differently, making it difficult to know for certain if Jesus' stauros had a crosspiece or not. It isn't an issue for most people. The cross has come to symbolize Jesus' sacrifice, whether it's technically accurate or not.

Answer 6

The Sanhedrin tried the same cover up as soon as Jesus died. Some today say that it wasn't Jesus who died on the cross. It was someone else.Jesus mother witnessed her own son's death. I'm pretty sure she knew Him. Some say He only swooned. The Roman soldiers who killed Him were in the killing business. They knew a dead man when they saw one. Some say His body was stolen from the tomb. The Roman soldiers wouldn't have let that happen because they would have been killed themselves for letting that happen. Think about this... What do you think changed the disciples from scared men cowering away in an upper room afraid for their lives, to men who went about boldly proclaiming that they had seen a risen Christ, even unto death? It was just that. They saw Him crucified and they saw Him risen from the dead and no one could make them deny what they had seen, even if it meant death. These attacks started as soon as Christ died and have been going on ever since and even in spite of it, the church has survived and keeps growing. Just as Christ said" The gates of hell will not prevail against His church."I suggest The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel."You have also stated that the Bible has errors. This too is false and this book will address that if you have the nerve to read it.

From the Old Testament alone, more than 2000 specific prophesies have been fulfilled.
No other so called Holy book compares.Most of the 333 prophesies concerning the Messiah were fulfilled by the birth and life of Jesus Christ and the rest will be fulfilled at His second coming. A mathematician, Peter Stoner, had his graduate students calculate what the odds would be of any one person fulfilling just eight of these prophesies. He found the chance was one in 100,000,000,000,000,000 !Only a God who knows the future could have revealed these prophesies to those that He would have record them in His Word.

In spite of what is being taught today, the truth is we can reconstruct most of the life of Jesus Christ through non - Christian writers of the first century. Even Celsus who despised Christianity, never considered claiming that Jesus Christ did not exist.This is what can be learned from the writing of Celsus...

He was born of a virgin in a small village of Judea;
He was adored by wise men;
His birth was followed by the slaughter of infants by order of Herod;
He took flight to Egypt, where Celsus supposed Christ learned the charms of the Magicians;
After returning, He resided in Nazareth;He was baptized and the Holy Spirit descended on Him as a voice was heard from heaven;
He elected disciples;
He was a friend with publicans and other low people;
He cured the lame and blind;
He raised people from the dead;
He was betrayed by Judas;
He was denied by Peter;
In addition Celsus refers to several details of Christ's passion, crucifiction, and resurrection.

Twenty seven books of the New Testament, nineteen Pagan writers, and three Jewish writers testify to Jesus Christ's historical reality. When I hear people say that Jesus or the Bible is just a myth I just realise that they are simply unaware of the facts.I recommend The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel and or Skeptics Answered or The Gate Of Hell Shall Not Prevail by D. James Kennedy, and The Signature of God by Grant R. Jeffrey. May all your thoughts be taken captive by the Holy Spirit. Amen. God bless!!!

Answer 7

Medically, Jesus died of asphyxiation. His arms were twisted to a point where he had difficulty in breathing. His lungs were crushed.

To answer your question, Yes, Jesus died on the cross. IF not by expiration, he was surely pierced in the body.

As it is written, his dead body was taken down from the cross, wrapped in a shroud, leaving his imprints on the cloth.

At that time, death certificates were not necessary, as the Roman soldiers were tasked to make sure that he is dead.

Answer 8

Who made YOU the expert? What proof do you have? We have the Bible, God's word that said he did die on a cross and was resurrected, and now is at the right hand of the Father! If you do not know how Jesus died, you need to read the Bible instead of making statements that are not true!

Answer 9

It wasn't a cross...it was a stake.The cross was adopted by the christians from the pagans because the cross was originally a pagan symbol.

Answer 10

Where do you get your info? I am Jewish and even I know He died on a cross

Answer 11

Some people believe, some don't.

Don't stress out.

That what the Spanish Inquisition was about: trying to MAKE people believe. Not only did it fail, but it was often misused/abused by those 'Good Christians' who wished to steal the accused's property, or 'get even' for some alleged slight.
