What is the verdict of Jesus' crucifixion?
Pilate declared the verdict in John 19:13,14:"When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gabbatha. Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, 'Behold your King!'"He also wrote the verdict on the cross, what is written on most of crucifixes today:"Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."It was a custom to write the verdict on the cross in Roman Empire.One can think there is a discrepancy between the verdict (what is not guilt, but in fact true) and the crucifixion. Practically, Pilate let Jesus be crucified because people wanted it, not because he foud him guildy. Teologicaly, crucifixion is the consequence of being true King of Jews, so of the verdict, as it should be.
Why is INRI on the cross?
This is a later addition by the church to the cross of Christ. Originally, when Jesus was crucified, Pilate wrote on the cross about Jesus and it is recorded in the Bible in John 19.19,20 - "And Pilate wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, [and] Greek, [and] Latin." The letters INRI are the initials of the Latin inscription that Pilate put on the cross. The Bible does not make it clear why Pilate wrote this inscription, but it may have been to compensate his weakness in allowing the Jews to crucify Jesus, and the writing did not please the Jews and they suggested to Pilate that he change it, but he answered: "What I have written I have written,"

What was Jesus Christ crucified on?
Jesus Christ was put on a torture stake, not on a cross. This was according to the Roman tradition and this is the original statement, as found in the Bible.AnswerActually Jesus was crucified on a Cross. Period. The term 'crucifixion' comes from the Latin 'Crux' or 'Crucis' meaning 'cross'. All Biblical evience points to Christ's crucifixion on a cross. The term used by Paul is the Greek 'stauros' meaning 'cross'. If he had meant 'stake' he would have used 'monos stauros' which meant 'torture stake'.All historical, archaeological evience and tradition holds that Jesus was crucified on a cross-shaped Cross. In the first century the Cross symbol was already used as a symbol of Christianity, and by the start of the second century many of the Church Fathers (some of whom had known personally the disciples) wrote of the crucifixion - on a cross. Tertulian even wrote about early Christians 'making the sign of the Cross' as they prayed. The Roman catacombs show depictions of crucifixion - always on a cross - and they also show crosses carved into the walls as an aid to prayer.Archaeology has proved that crosses were used by the Romans as a method of execution. Sometimes they were cross shaped and sometimes T-shaped. However archaeological finds in and around Jerusalem confirm that the favoured method of the Romans in Jerusalem was the cross-shaped Cross.The only group who rejects the historical fact of the crucifixion is the Jehovah's Witnesses. This is despite the fact that originally the Cross was part of their badge of identification. However, as their theology has changed constantly since their foundation it wasn't until fairly recently that a leader in the Watchtower went against all historical, theological, archaeological an Biblical evidence by heretically declaring the Cross 'pagan' and thus the idea of the 'torture stake' emerged. However there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that a stake was used. On the contrary, all evidence ponts to the Cross as the means of execution and means of humanity's reemption.

How many years after the prophecy of the cross in Isaiah was the actual crucifixion?
Since the Book of Isaiah never mentions the cross or the crucifixion of Jesus, it is not really possible to answer this question objectively. Nevertheless, Burton L. Mack describes a trick that can be used to make any Old Testament book say what you want it to say. By this means, books such as Isaiah have been made to refer to Jesus, even though that does not appear to have been the intention of its author. Mack says in Who Wrote the New Testament that at first the study of a text may not seem to support a traditional Christian conviction, or the answer one hopes to find in the Bible. But with a little ingenuity, one can set up the comparison again with other emphases and make the answer come out right. This trick seems to come naturally when studying the Bible, and Mack sees it happen all the time in the classrooms of the School of Theology at Claremont.Some see Isaiah chapter 53 as a prophecy of the crucifixion, because it mentions death and suffering. This was written about a "suffering servant" before and after the time of writing and does not mention Jesus or the crucifixion. In fact, it can not be a reference to Jesus, because verse 10 talks about the servant seeing his children, and Jesus is believed not to have had children. Isaiah chapter 53 was written late in the time of the Babylonian Exile, about 550 years before the crucifixion of Jesus.
