Jesus was hung on a cross.

Why was crucifixion used?



Crucifixion | Description, History, Punishment, & Jesus ...


Crucifixion was most frequently used to punish political or religious agitators, pirates, slaves, or those who had no civil rights.

Also, I'm sure you must be aware that Cruci
means cross.
Cross Stake Pole



The two Greek words in question are stauros (pronounced Stou-ros or stavros) and xylon (pronounced ksee-lon). Here's what Greek scholars say about those two words:

Strong’s Greek Dictionary:
4716. Stauros
"A stake or post (as set upright), i.e. (specially), a pole or cross (as an instrument of capital punishment) Appears 28 times in the NT."
The Anchor Bible Dictionary defines "Crucifixion" as:
The act of nailing or binding a living victim or sometimes a dead person to a cross or stake (stauros or skolops) or a tree (xylon)"
The New Catholic Encyclopaedia:
"Crucifixion developed from a method of execution by which the victim was fastened to an upright stake either by impaling him on it or by tying him to it with thongs..."
Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary defines "Crucifixion" as:
"The method of torture and execution used by the Romans to put Christ to death. At a crucifixion the victim usually was nailed or tied to a wooden stake and left to die..."
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words:

"Stauros denotes, primarily, an upright pale or stake. On such, malefactors were nailed for execution..."
A Dictionary of the Bible, Dealing With Its Language, Literature And Contents, Including the Biblical Theology, in New Testament usage:
"[Stauros] means properly a stake…"

Hastings' Dictionary Of The Bible states:
"The Greek term rendered 'cross' in the English NT is stauros, which has a wider application than we ordinarily give to 'cross,' being used of a single stake or upright beam as well as of a cross composed of two beams."
The Illustrated Bible Dictionary, 1980
"The Greek word for 'cross' (stauros) means primarily an upright stake or beam, and secondarily a stake used as an instrument for punishment and execution. It is used in this latter sense in the New Testament."
The Catholic Encyclopaedia
"The cross originally consisted of a simple vertical pole, sharpened at its upper end."
The Classic Greek Dictionary, Greek-English and English-Greek:
"'stauros': ...an upright pale, stake or pole; in plural, a palisade."
The Companion Bible, Appendix 162:
"In the Greek N.T. two words are used for 'the cross' on which the Lord was put to death: 1. The word stauros; which denotes an upright pale or stake, to which the criminals were nailed for execution. 2. The word xylon, which generally denotes a piece of a dead log of wood, or timber, for fuel or for any other purpose. It is not like dendron, which is used of a living, or green tree, as in Matt.21: 8; Rev.7: 1, 3; 8:7; 9: 4, &c. As this latter word xylon is used interchangeably with stauros it shows us the meaning of each is exactly the same. The verb stauroo means to drive stakes. Our English word 'cross' is the translation of the Latin crux; but the Greek stauros no more means a crux than the word 'stick' means a 'crutch'. Homer uses the word stauros of an ordinary pole or stake, or a simple piece of timber.[footnote, Iliad xxiv.453. Odyssey xiv.11] And this is the meaning and usage of the word throughout the Greek classics. It never means two pieces of timber placed across one another at any angle, but of always one piece alone. Hence the use of the word xylon (No.2 above) in connection with the manner of our Lord's death and rendered 'tree' in Acts 5:30."

 
This has nothing to do with what I asked.
The 7th Day is a Command since Genesis 2:3...And Elohiym blessed the seventh day and sanctified it; sanctified, made holy. Exodus 20:10 which is the 4th Commandment: But the 7th Day is the Sabbath of Yahuah Elohayka:.....

So I ask again, you really think the Apostles broke Yah's Commandment to keep the Sabbath and to keep it holy, which is His Appointed day ?

The cross is the mark of the (beast / nation.)

The mark of the cross is made on the forehead with ash during lent.

Sign of the cross


The Byzantine sign of the cross is made with the right hand.

The Byzantine sign of the cross is made with thumb and the first two fingers of the right hand joined at the tips. The third and fourth fingers are closed on the palm.

The Byzantine way of making the sign of the cross pre-dates the Latin style used by the Roman Catholics.

The sign of the Trinity and Cross are both in the right hand.

The Hebrew word for sin is "chet," which literally means "missing the mark.”

The sign of being forgiven.

During the ancient days of Israel, if a person was forgiven in a court, the person would receive a single ash mark on their forehead for everyone to see; that was done in remembrance of Moses’s snake on a pole.

The Catholic mark is a cross on the fore head made with a trinity sign with the right hand. By the way, the word “cross’ is not biblical; it was added to scriptures.

The Seal of God is the law and the Sabbath Day.

Numbers 21:8’9
The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

Deuteronomy 21:23
you must not leave the body hanging on the pole overnight. Be sure to bury it that same day, because anyone who is hung on a pole is under God’s curse. You must not desecrate the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

1 Corinthians 1:23
but we preach Christ (crucified / staked out) a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

Galatians 3:13
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”

Acts 5:30
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

Acts 10:39
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
 
The Sabbath was changed after the Disciples had passed away.
I don't believe so...


John 20:26
Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
Revelation 1:10
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet.
1 Corinthians 16:2
On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.
Acts 20:7
On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.
 
Christ resurrection came Monday evening after sunset. Firstfruits is on Monday.

Christ Is Firstfruits Of The Resurrection
The Feast of Unleavened Bread is a feast that is often mistaken for Passover. Passover is one 24 hour period, while the Feast of Unleavened Bread lasts for seven days. The Feast of Unleavened Bread is also a rest day where no work is to be done. That would also exclude attending a grave site to prep a body on the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Passover was always on the Seventh Day of Rest, Preparation Day was always the day before, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread was always the day after the Sabbath Day of Rest and the Passover. A biblical definition of firstfruits would include the first of most anything that come from the ground or animals. The people would go home on Monday and gather their offerings and bring it back to the temple.

Luke 23:56.
Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.

The biblical calendar is a 364 day a year calendar, which places the holidays on the same day of the week every year. When Christ was hung on the stake, both calendars were in use; the Biblical Calendar, and the Civil Hebrew Calendar. Which calendar do you think Christ and the disciples used; the Biblical Calendar, or the Civil Hebrew Calendar?

All three of these holidays involved firstfruit offerings at the Temple.
Passover
was in the early spring, and it included firstfruits from the first harvest of barley.

Shavuot was in the late spring, and it included firstfruits from the wheat harvest. Among the many different offerings given, was a "wave offering" of two loaves of leavened bread. This was also a firstfruits offering.

Sukkot was in the fall, and it was the final harvest which included firstfruits of olives and grapes.

The feast day of Un-Leavened Bread was always on a Sunday when using the Biblical Calendar. That particular Sunday was also a REST DAY where no work was to be done. The women would not have attended his body that day because it was against the law.

Luke 23:56
Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment. The Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread

Exodus 12:16
On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that is all you may do.

1 Corinthians 15:20
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

1 Corinthians 15:23
But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.



The Firstfruits offering was on Monday after Unleavened Bread.


Passover Sabbath

Mark 16:1
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jacob, and Salome, they (had / AIT) bought spices so that they might go to anoint Yahshua's body.

Luke 23:56
Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandments.

Luke 24:1
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.

The word "day" is not in the original text.

John 19:40
Taking Yahshua’s’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.

Christ resurrection was the first part of the week, not the first day.

Josephus writes

On the second day of unleavened bread, that is to say the sixteenth, our people partake of the crops which they have reaped and which have not been touched till then, and esteeming it right first to do homage to God.

Christ was hung on Friday the 13th, which was Preparation Day before the Sabbath began. The Sabbath and Passover began Friday evening at sundown. Christ was buried at about sundown on Friday. Unleavened Bread would last from Saturday evening to Sunday evening. First Fruits was offered on Monday. The women went to the tomb Tuesday morning after the First Fruits Offering.
I read the above and it's very interesting.
I believe that the FIRSTFRUITS the NT is speaking of is describing Jesus as t he first of many that will enter into His Kingdom.

I just don't know enough to discuss this with you.
I've always known that Jesus rose on the 3rd day, which would have been Sunday.
This is why the Apostles and Disciples eventually began to worship on Sunday, in commemoration of the resurrection.

I also don't understand about the word DAY missing....if scholars thought it meant WEEK, they would have written week.
 
No, it is not unanimous. He dies on Wednesday, the day of unleavened bread and rises on a 7th day which is the first day of Pentecost.
I'm sorry 7thMoon, this is just not my cup of tea.
WHEN things happened don't interest me too much.
If you think it's very important what day Jesus rose, so be it.
I don't really know what difference it can make.
 
The Romans hanged people on a cross if they were an offering to the Sun God Sol.

The Messiah to come had to be hanged on a stake to be the Messiah, in order to fulfill the prophecy.

Was (Jesus / Christ) a offering to the Sun God Sol?
I believe He was an offering to the Almighty God.
At least that's what SOME atonement theories teach.
 
1. The decrees were religious ones.

2. That is not correct. The very first converts went to the synagogue, then latter to each others house.
The very first converts went to the synagogue, this is true.
They were abolished from the synagogue in about the years leading up to 70AD.

Before that many had started to worship on Sunday in commemoration of the resurrection.
Nothing happened overnight, as history is.
However, Jesus'disciples, and I believe even the Apostles were worshipping on Sunday.

How do you understand
Acts 20:7?
On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.

You must be a witness.
 
The 7th Day is a Command since Genesis 2:3...And Elohiym blessed the seventh day and sanctified it; sanctified, made holy. Exodus 20:10 which is the 4th Commandment: But the 7th Day is the Sabbath of Yahuah Elohayka:.....

So I ask again, you really think the Apostles broke Yah's Commandment to keep the Sabbath and to keep it holy, which is His Appointed day ?
I think so.
And along with it, about 600 other rules, commandments, etc.

They were no longer under the Old Law of Moses.
If you notice the 10 commandments consist of moral law.
Only one is a ceremonial law, the Sabbath worship.

Ceremonial Law was abolished.

It seems like we're all obsessed with our own doctrinal beliefs.
I just don't get the importance of this, but I hope to see you around regarding other topics...
 
I think so.
And along with it, about 600 other rules, commandments, etc.

They were no longer under the Old Law of Moses.
If you notice the 10 commandments consist of moral law.
Only one is a ceremonial law, the Sabbath worship.

Ceremonial Law was abolished.
The 10 Commandments is all there is, keeping the Sabbath is the sign of the Renewed Covenant. And is by Yah's design that His people keep the 7th Day Sabbath.

The 613 are Older Covenant does and donts....some were for Priest, some for men, some for women, some for herdsmen, and some for orchard keepers, and farmers.
 
I don't believe so...


John 20:26
Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
Revelation 1:10
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet.

Matthew 12:8
For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

Mark 2:27
Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

Mark 2:28
So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

Luke 6:5
Then Yahshua said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

Romans 13:9
The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Exodus 20:8
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

Man, as in mankind. It does not say the Sabbath was made for the Jew, but mankind. The seventh day is Yahshua’s Sabbath.
 
The 10 Commandments is all there is, keeping the Sabbath is the sign of the Renewed Covenant. And is by Yah's design that His people keep the 7th Day Sabbath.

Nothing happened overnight, as history is.
However, Jesus'disciples, and I believe even the Apostles were worshipping on Sunday.

How do you understand
Acts 20:7?
On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight.
The original text says ("on one of the Sabbaths.") It does not say "on the first day of the week."
 
I read the above and it's very interesting.
I believe that the FIRSTFRUITS the NT is speaking of is describing Jesus as t he first of many that will enter into His Kingdom.

This is why the Apostles and Disciples eventually began to worship on Sunday, in commemoration of the resurrection.

I also don't understand about the word DAY missing....if scholars thought it meant WEEK, they would have written week.
Christ was buried Friday evening just before sundown. He said he would be in the grave for three days and nights. That would mean that his resurrection came after Monday evening.

Luke 23:54
It was Preparation Day, (Friday) and the Sabbath was about to begin.

In Judaism a day begins at sundown by tradition.
 
You mean the New Covenant.

Jesus kept the Sabbath. He was Jewish after all.
He did say that the Sabbath was made for man (to rest) and not the other way around.
Mark 2:27

He also "worked" on the Sabbath and told the Pharisees they were wrong in abstaining from all work on the Sabbath.
Also, Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath since HE created it.

I maintain that the Sabbath was a ceremonial Law and was abolished with the New Covenant, which looked at the heart of man and not so much how well man kept Laws outwardly, but had a bad heart inwardly.

My main point, however, is that the Apostles wanted to commemorate the first day of the week since that was when Jesus was resurrected from death.

However, passages of Scripture such as Acts 20:7, 1 Corinthians 16:2, Colossians 2:16-17, and Revelation 1:10 indicate that, even during New Testament times, the Sabbath is no longer binding and that Christians are to worship on the Lord’s day, Sunday, instead.
The early Church Fathers compared the observance of the Sabbath to the observance of the rite of circumcision, and from that they demonstrated that if the apostles abolished circumcision (Gal. 5:1-6), so also the observance of the Sabbath must have been abolished.
The following quotations show that the first Christians understood this principle and gathered for worship on Sunday.

The Didache

“But every Lord’s day . . . gather yourselves together and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one that is at variance with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned” (Didache 14 [A.D. 70]).

The Letter of Barnabas

“We keep the eighth day [Sunday] with joyfulness, the day also on which Jesus rose again from the dead” (Letter of Barnabas 15:6–8 [A.D. 74]).

Ignatius of Antioch

“[T]hose who were brought up in the ancient order of things [i.e. Jews] have come to the possession of a new hope, no longer observing the Sabbath, but living in the observance of the Lord’s day, on which also our life has sprung up again by him and by his death” (Letter to the Magnesians 8 [A.D. 110]).

Justin Martyr

“But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead” (First Apology 67 [A.D. 155]).

The Didascalia

“The apostles further appointed: On the first day of the week let there be service, and the reading of the holy scriptures, and the oblation [sacrifice of the Mass], because on the first day of the week [i.e., Sunday] our Lord rose from the place of the dead, and on the first day of the week he arose upon the world, and on the first day of the week he ascended up to heaven, and on the first day of the week he will appear at last with the angels of heaven” (Didascalia 2 [A.D. 225]).

The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Exodus 20:8
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

Man, as in mankind. It does not say the Sabbath was made for the Jew, but mankind. The seventh day is Yahshua’s Sabbath.
The above verses seem to maintain my position.
