Matthew 10:38 " And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me."
Matthew 27:40 " And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross."
John 19:17 " And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha."
John 19:25 " Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his Mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene."
other examples of where to confirm this is found in 1 Corinthians 1:17-18; Galatians 6:14; Eph. 2:16;Phil. 2:8, 3:18; Col.1:20; Hebrews 12:20.
No, he was crucified by the roman soldiers under Pontius Pilate on A cross at Golgotha or "the Place of a Skull", north of the old city, Jerusalem.
No, Mormons believe that Jesus was crucified on a cross, just like most other Christians. Mormons believe and study the Bible throughly, so the accounts there are what we believe. Mormons dont however use the cross as a religious symbol like many other religions... Perhaps you are thinking of the Jehovah's Witnesses? They do not believe that Jesus died on a cross.
The Greek word for cross is "σταυρός" (stauros). In ancient Greece, the term was used to refer to an upright stake or pole, often used for executions. Over time, it came to specifically denote the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified in Christian theology.
Unlikely. Roman tradition at the time usually had the vertical pole already at the site of execution, the convicted person only carried the crosspiece from the prison to the site of execution, where his arms were nailed to the crosspiece. He was then lifted by the crosspiece and the crosspiece suddenly dropped vertically into an iron receptacle on the pole (this shock alone killed some victims) after which the legs were nailed to the pole. Both pole and crosspiece were usually reused for many executions. This is probably how Christ was crucified.
The Southern Cross is a five star constellation. To find south, compare the positions of the South Celestial Pole and Archenar.
You can find the South Pole on Antarctica.
No. Jesus died on a cross.
Stauros, meaning stake, or pole. There is no evidence that a cross was ever used.
No, people in the southern hemisphere cannot use the North Star (Polaris) for navigation because it is located directly over the North Pole. Instead, they use the Southern Cross (Crux) constellation to find south.
None, it is almost a straight line from the United Kingdom to the North Pole.
They were abused by a pole with a U shaped end. They were tied up to a pole and stuck the U shaped pole in their ribs. It's either that or they were put on the cross.
To find the Southern Cross constellation, first locate the constellation Crux, which is the smallest but most distinctive constellation in the southern sky. Look for a group of four bright stars in the shape of a cross. The two brightest stars in the cross point towards the South Celestial Pole, helping you determine the south direction.
