Peace013 鈥?How were the feet of Jesus nailed to the cross?

The depiction in crucifixes is one nail was driven into one foot of Jesus over the other. How do you think were the feet of Jesus nailed on the cross: with one nail driven through the left foot over the right foot, or with one nail driven through the right foot over the left foot, or with one nail driven to each foot?





This is what I know which I would like to share with you. It is up to you whether you will believe it or not.

I need to know what your source of this information is. You say the '; depiction '; in Crucifixes is one nail, with one foot over the other. If it's an artist's depiction you are basing this on, I think we need something more than that before we can give an informed opinion. Really, in the grand scheme of things, what does it matter ? The main thing to me is Jesus died on that cross for us all, no matter how His feet were nailed on.Peace013 鈥?How were the feet of Jesus nailed to the cross?
I took a class in college where we studied the New Testament. The professor was a Jesuit. He explained that he believed the spikes were driven through Jesus's wrists and His ankles or rather above His feet, more on the end of the actual leg. There are several theories about what physically happened to Jesus that day and how he may have been crucified. I guess that's a detail we may never know.
Do you think Yeshua ben Yusef would really give a donkey's donger if his supposed followers where concerned about the nature of his tortuous death! The question should be... 'Why don't they understand?'.
Why would the Romans care? I believe the Shroud of Turin suggests that the right foot was placed on top, but I really don't see the point. How were they nailed? Painfully.
Actually it's scientificly proven that you cannot be nailed to a cross in the manner that he is depicted and stay up for any ammount of time at all. it'd just rip your hands apart, then feet from the weight. I think i saw that on the discovery channel, forget which show it was.
They also broke both of His legs as they did with the other two. This was done so that they couldn't support their own body weight and they would eventually have trouble breathing to stay alive.
Sounds sort of like the Crucifixion hokey-pokey.
Personally, I find it to be a moot point.
