Christ had to die on a stake and not a cross

[CherubRam]

In order for Christ to have fulfilled the prophecy, he had to die on a stake, not a cross.

Again: If Christ died on a cross, then he did not fulfill the prophecy.

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.

ξύλον xýlon, xoo'-lon; from another form of the base of G3582; timber (as fuel or material); by implication, a stick, club or tree or other wooden article or substance:—staff, stocks, tree, wood. - Strong's

BTW, "impalement" was invented by the Assyrians. It was NEVER used by the Israelis for capital punishment.

ξυλου is a wood pole.

And what does wood come from? TREES!

What is the cross made of? A vertical wood beam or pole, with a wood crossbeam.

Telephone poles had a crossbeam to support telephone lines.

Can they still be referred to as a telephone pole?

Originally telephone poles did not have a cross member. Originally people were not crucified on a cross.

A pole and a stake are the same thing, and a cross is not a pole or stake. Just like a saw horse is not a chair.

i use chairs for sawhorses all the time

and i've used sawhorses to sit on as well



and a cross is a pole, with a cross beam added

 

[God's Truth]

Why are you arguing about this?

Do you want people to not trust the Bible?

Do you really think a person is not saved unless they think the wood from a tree did not have a beam going the other way too and called a 'cross'?

The word "cross" is a interpretation and not a translation. The cross is a pagan symbol. That is why it should not be used in the bible.

You can use a bucket as a chair but that does not make it a chair.

Terminology
Further information: Cross § Name

Ancient Greek has two verbs for crucify: ana-stauro (ἀνασταυρόω), from stauros, "stake", and apo-tumpanizo (ἀποτυμπανίζω) "crucify on a plank",[4] together with anaskolopizo (ἀνασκολοπίζω "impale"). In earlier pre-Roman Greek texts anastauro usually means "impale".[5][6][7]

New Testament Greek uses four verbs, three of them based upon stauros (σταυρός), usually translated "cross". The most common term is stauroo (σταυρόω), "to crucify", occurring 43 times; sustauroo (συσταυρόω), "to crucify with" or "alongside" occurs five times, while anastauroo (ἀνασταυρόω), "to crucify again" occurs only once at the Epistle to the Hebrews 6:6. prospegnumi (προσπήγνυμι), "to fix or fasten to, impale, crucify" occurs only once at the Acts of the Apostles 2:23.

The English term cross derives from the Latin word crux.[8] The Latin term crux classically referred to a tree or any construction of wood used to hang criminals as a form of execution. The term later came to refer specifically to a cross.[9]

The English term crucifix derives from the Latin crucifixus or cruci fixus, past participle passive of crucifigere or cruci figere, meaning "to crucify" or "to fasten to a cross"

What you say is against the Bible.

 

[CherubRam]

The word "cross" was introduced into scriptures; before then the word stauros meant stake or pole only. Dictionaries were redefined to please the Catholics.
