Why do Christians believe that nailing on the cross symbolises crucifixion and that Jesus was crucified?

The Bible puts crucifixion as lasting for just over one week and that the victim could stay alive, nailed to the cross for up to four (4) days.





Jews were hanged in one day and were supposed to be taken down and buried the same day, before sunset, as a religious favor from the Romans, but Pilate punished the High Priest with the two thieves left on the cross for full crucifixion and onwards through the Sabbath, after he set the Christ free for his innocence and because the Romans loved that Son of their God, Zeus, although he was not a Roman.





Crucifixion ended when all of the victim's flesh was eaten off by the vultures and other scavengers, and that took a few days.





The legs had to be broken to hang the victim on the cross. If the legs were not broken the victim was not even hanged, far less crucified.





Crucifixion is extreme torture that brings out extreme pain and then death and disgrace up to burial.





The crucified was buried with only the bones and teeth left, with the two broken bones of the legs as evidence of the crucifixion.





The victim was driven to insanity before he died in the upright position on the cross at the breaking of his legs.





Crucifixion on the cross used the cruciate ligaments at the back of the knees to lock the victim in a standing position on the cross so that even if he fell unconscious, he remained on his feet.





The victim's testicles were squeezed between his locked legs and that is no joke, My Lord, My lord, The Sabbath has arrived!





This evidence is taken from the Bible.





Seeking truth is painful and is not meant for the lazy and the gullible and the less than honest.





Truth will set you free but you must painfully seek truth.





Amen!Why do Christians believe that nailing on the cross symbolises crucifixion and that Jesus was crucified?
Can you please cite where in the Bible you got this information from?Why do Christians believe that nailing on the cross symbolises crucifixion and that Jesus was crucified?
You obviously have no understanding of the Biblical account of Christ's crucifixion.
We do a lot of critical analysis when we decided to follow God.. Take some time, dear one, to do your research before asking such a question. Most of the cities mentioned in the Bible have been either excavated and found, or are still inhabited. The evidence, that he has left, would stand in any court of the law.. You can NOT say the same of your evidence.. How many eye witness accounts do you need? How many miracles do you need? The Bible has been proven to be historically accurate as well as archaeologically accurate.. ((these peoples still inhabit the lands of the bible.. This is their history)) They do and did keep records. they have genealogies, tax records, Death records, criminal records, census records, Land records and etc.. There are many writings regarding Jesus that have nothing to do with religion.. Every verse of the New Testament HAS been confirmed by secular outside, non religious sources except for 11 verses... So then It seems it pretty much stands dear one..Oh, and they ARE available.. Do some REAL research please..

Because the Bible says so!


John 19:16-18


16Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.


17And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:


18Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.


(KJV) You must have never read the Bible because the things you claim are not in it. You are obviously not seeking the truth because even a casual reading of the first four books of the New Testament would reveal the ';painful'; truth. Please find a Bible and read it!
';Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us,'; wrote Paul, ';for it is written: `Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree';' (Galatians 3:13). In this case, Paul was quoting a phrase found in Deuteronomy 21:23.





I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO ASK WHAT THE NAME OF YOUR BIBLE IS.

We will probably never know for certain how Jesus died, but I don't know of any significant evidence that suggests otherwise.





You say that someone could survive being nailed to a cross for up to 4 days, and if Jesus died in one day, it makes sense.





Victims of Roman-style crucifixion did not necessarily have their legs broken. They died of anoxia; their muscles would cramp and their rib cage would be compressed unless pressure was applied to the impaled feet. Once the pain was too great and/or the muscles failed, the victim would slowly suffocate. Recent experiments show that the effects of anoxia occur within the first hours of crucifixion, though it was extremely slow and intended for pain.





Who knows what happened to Jesus' body? The writers of the New Testament may have said that Jesus' intact corpse was laid to rest simply to convince others of the resurrection.





It makes sense that the Romans crucified Jesus. This type of slow and painful execution would certainly discourage rebels.
