If Jesus was nailed to a CROSS......?

Then why do lots of songs say ';Nailed to a TREE'; ???????????If Jesus was nailed to a CROSS......?
Because the cross was wood, which came from a tree that God created.If Jesus was nailed to a CROSS......?
Because those days they did not have the same implements we have today. They took branches off trees intact and used this to make a Cross.





By the way, if Jesus never took all our sins away when He was baptised, He could never have been crucified.
It was the wood from a dog wood tree that The cross was made out of. that is why they use the word tree.
Wood is from a tree??? the cross is the angle the wood was placed in order to hang someone from the horizontal branches crossing the vertical branch/tree. You people have waaaaaaaaay too much time wasting on nothing.
Can you tell me what songs are saying ';tree';?? I have never heard a song say Tree and I have been studying the Bible for many years and I have listend to many Christian songs and have never once heard the word tree in them. Althought it be that the cross is made from wood and wood comes from trees I still have never heard any specific song saying the ';Tree';.
Because the different books of the Bible say different entirely contradictory things - one says tree , one says cross





Thats journalism for you
from a Jewish perspective it was a ';tree';
Not popular, but true. It was not a cross. The Greek word rendered “cross” in many modern Bible versions (“torture stake” in NW) is stau·ros´. In classical Greek, this word meant merely an upright stake, or pale. Later it also came to be used for an execution stake having a crosspiece. The Imperial Bible-Dictionary acknowledges this, saying: “The Greek word for cross, [stau·ros´], properly signified a stake, an upright pole, or piece of paling, on which anything might be hung, or which might be used in impaling [fencing in] a piece of ground. . . . Even amongst the Romans the crux (from which our cross is derived) appears to have been originally an upright pole.”—Edited by P. Fairbairn (London, 1874), Vol. I, p. 376.





Was that the case in connection with the execution of God’s Son? It is noteworthy that the Bible also uses the word xy´lon to identify the device used. A Greek-English Lexicon, by Liddell and Scott, defines this as meaning: “Wood cut and ready for use, firewood, timber, etc. . . . piece of wood, log, beam, post . . . cudgel, club . . . stake on which criminals were impaled . . . of live wood, tree.” It also says “in NT, of the cross,” and cites Acts 5:30 and 10:39 as examples. (Oxford, 1968, pp. 1191, 1192) However, in those verses KJ, RS, JB, and Dy translate xy´lon as “tree.” (Compare this rendering with Galatians 3:13; Deuteronomy 21:22, 23.)





The book The Non-Christian Cross, by J. D. Parsons (London, 1896), says: “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. . . . It is not a little misleading upon the part of our teachers to translate the word stauros as ‘cross’ when rendering the Greek documents of the Church into our native tongue, and to support that action by putting ‘cross’ in our lexicons as the meaning of stauros without carefully explaining that that was at any rate not the primary meaning of the word in the days of the Apostles, did not become its primary signification till long afterwards, and became so then, if at all, only because, despite the absence of corroborative evidence, it was for some reason or other assumed that the particular stauros upon which Jesus was executed had that particular shape.”—Pp. 23, 24; see also The Companion Bible (London, 1885), Appendix No. 162.





Regardless, one has to wonder why this 'cross' has become an icon. What if he'd been beheaded? Would christendom then wear an ax around their necks? We are asked to worship in spirt and truth, we don't need icons for this.
A tree is made of wood. A cross is made od wood. If you need a word that rymes with thee, three, bee,.....................ect, you would use ';tree';
Tree is another name for the Cross.
He wasn't nailed to a 'cross' but a tree. The CROSS is a pagan symbol adapted into the pagan cretian religion. Learn not the way of the heathen. Song writers using such terms perhaps have looked up the words and know it does not mean cross, but tree, pole, stake or the like.
It was an upright pole of wood. No cross section and that is based on the Greek word rendered ';cross'; in many modern Bible versions is stau-ros'. In classical Greek, this word meant merely an upright stake, or pale.
some people just change things to make it sound better in a song, has nothing to do with the Bible. If you ever doubt, read the Bible and it will not lie to you. People can sing about anything doesnt mean it is true.
the cross was made out of a tree. but you're right, it should say cross
More things rhyme with 'tree', and we know Christians don't let any facts get in the way of a good story.
It was a wooden cross, wood comes from trees....
What do you think a cross is made out of?
