Default Cross

Here again is a question that most of you may have never considered.

The answer is simple or else I would not be asking it.

Which letter in the alphabet resembles what the cross Christ was crucified on ?

I Love it!! A short post and a simple question. A capital T of course. Now dispense with your mystery, but try to keep it like your first post, short and simple.

On a biblical chat part of the forum. I was expecting scripture back up for one's answer or reply.

Maybe my simple questions are too difficut.

And a capital T is "not" what the cross looks like. Would you or anyone like to try - again ?

a capitol T is what the cross looked like, just read about what the cross's of the time of the roman era. It was one broad beam used for pinning the arms to, put on top of the vertical pole. Christ's sign was placed on top of the broad horizontal beam. Sorry that my answer didnt satisfy you, probably screwed up your whole analogy.

apparently people here do not know their left hand from their right hand. If I am wrong in making such a statement. All one has to do is prove me wrong. I say again, this is a biblical discussion area. I would appreciate a biblical answer, not someone's theology or a guess. If you do not know the answer, that is fine, just say you do not know, or just do not reply.

John 3:14 - "Even as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up......"

The Roman cross, or the crux commisa (sp.?), was in the shape of a capital "T".

The vertical pole stayed in place. The person to be crucified was either tied or nailed to the horizontal crossbeam and made to carry it. It was quite heavy.

They would have to be "lifted up" and the horizontal beam fitted onto a notch at the top of the vertical beam.

Was I there to see it? No. Am I 100% certain? No. But this is what I gather from scripture and from secular historical documents that give explanations.

What do you think the cross looked like, Mysteryman?

I have known my left hand from my right sinse I was a child, I am not the idiot you seem to think people are who dont see everything as a mystery. So yes, you are wrong in making such a statement. I will say no more, as apparently an IQ of 135 is too stupid for one such as you. Would you like me to share a mystery with you about speech and arrogance or would you rather I not?

I will have to agree with Soulheart, we know our left hand from the right, come on put up or sit down,you never stated in your op you wanted a biblical answer. and I hope you have scripture to back this one up.
