Since we're all "Children of God" shouldn't it match all of us.

If nailed through the hands the weight of the body would rip through when the stake was raised

I was taught that the nails went through the arm bones above the wrists for the reason you mentioned![]()
Where did you read that the Romans used a simple pole with no cross bar? I thought the conventional cross used by the Romans was a cross bar type![]()
I'm not debating, just asking![]()

Koa Man - reference info:In classical Greek the word (stau·ros') rendered "torture stake" in the New World Translation primarily denotes an upright stake, or pole, and there is no evidence that the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures used it to designate a stake with a crossbeam.

Actually Christ died on an upright stake with no crossbar. The Greek word translated to cross is stau ros', proper translation would be upright pole or piece of paling. The Romans never used crossbars on their executional stakes.
