Re: The Oldest Reference to Christians in Egypt = Chrestiano
More: http://www.armageddonchurch.com/?Translation_of_Megiddo_mosaics . The translation of said row is, according to the link is: "names of four women and calls upon us to 'remember' them." And the last word reads XRHCTH\ . The \ is possibly an N to give us XRHCTHN , "Chresten". ...

Re: Jesus crucified on a X
Okay, I have the Link for the Pozzuoli. The article is in Italian, but you can translate it with google, bing or any other online auto-translator.

Re: Jesus crucified on a X
If I remember correctly, there are two graffiti and one fresco that indicate that the Romans used T-shaped and t-shaped crosses in Italy in the late first century. - Pozzuoli Graffito, which shows a person (scholars can't agree on the sex of the person) riding on a sedile with a Cornu / acuta crux a...

Re: A New Explanation for 'Naked With Naked' in Secret Mark
How can people argue that Morton Smith's alleged "homosexuality" (cough, cough) explain everything? Simple. They are homophobic, Christ-psychosis infected imbeciles and they have to account for the finding of the epistle from Clement somehow. So like good dumbkopfs, I mean credentialed New...

Re: We preach Christ crucified
Leucius, if you're talking about nailing criminals to two-beam crosses like the kind you see in church so that they might hang and perish in torture, then the Romans never crucified. What they did was hanged (with ropes or nails) or impaled or both, on various constructions like utility poles, ship'...

Re: Jesus Not Nailed to the Cross?
Hi EdwardM, Thanks for this. It is very helpful. According to "Deviant Burial in the Archaeological Record" By Eileen M. Murphy, 2008, in an article by Phillippe Charlier in Chapter 4, these skeletons are two middle-age women who were tortured, but were not crucified. Phillippe Charlier i...

Re: Jesus Not Nailed to the Cross?
Hi Jay, IIRC, the skeletons were discovered sometime in the 1960's. They were dated to about the 1st Cent. BCE or so (2nd C. BCE or 1st C. CE). Iron nails were discovered with the skeletons as well, some between major leg bones, and an 18 (?) cm long staple around one skeleton's ankle. More informat...

Re: Jesus Not Nailed to the Cross?
Hi All, In researching crucifixion, I have never found any evidence of anybody being actually nailed to a cross. I don't count the idiotic nonsense of the foot found with a nail in it as evidence of anything. Warmly, Jay Raskin There were two skeletons found on the island of Delos that were nailed ...

Re: Anointed One crucified in Herodotus 3.124-5
To tell the truth, we can't be sure it was a cruci-fixion, either by the way the Romans did it or by the way modern scholarship imagines the Romans did it. To me, the anastaurow verb could refer to an impalement / post-impalement suspension ( ie, lifting the pale erect ), because the verbiage about ...
