AUDIO OF TEXT PART2 OF 4
MAKES ME WONDER ????
I have seen the scene so many times the image of that Israelite dragging the so called cross along the road and the images of rows of crosses on the hillsides. The thought came to me who is paying for these crosses???, because like money, crosses don’t grow on trees. It must have taken a lot of hard work to produce these crosses. All that chopping trees down, then long hours of sawing and carving shaping polishing, nobody is doing all that for nothing. I imagine that these crosses were reusable you are not going to throw it away just because it’s been used once, even taking that into account it still has to be paid for.
The Romans being the romans were not going to spend large amounts of money supporting the cross industry, just to hang poor Israelites. It would be unreasonable to expect the soon to be departed to contribute to the cost of the crosses even if his dad is a carpenter, and what could be done if he refuse to pay. Trees on the other hand are cost effective they are cheap very little upkeeep and 100% reusable it makes much more sense. Why put a burden on the tax payers when there is a perfectly good tree there where you can hang them, its much more effective it’s got branches you could hang several at one time. This is a cross X as I know it, as in the game noughts and crosses and in cross in the box to elect a liar to lead X is a cross.

The Romans were well versed in the art of torture they used it a lot nailing someone to a X is more painful to the recipient than putting them on the image we have been shown and they believed in maximum pain. Erecting the cross seems problematic if the images that we are shown are true. But why bother with all that fussing about when an easy solution of hanging them on a tree is available. The latin cross is not a cross its just a symbol a homage to a system.
Makes me wonder if those passages are to be taken as reality then why the need to present us with the symbol we now know as a cross. According to the bible the god of the bible disapproves of people worshipping things made by man. That is idolotry it does not matter what kind of tree that the cross was made of or how well made it was. It does not make any difference what the material is you are praying to dead things.
In so many ways the image presented to us makes no sense, who were these cross makers. How comes there is no cross maker in roman times book. Information on cross maker in roman times is not easily available so we may have to rely on common sense. It is a reality that common sense and christianity often conflict because christianity is based in beliefs not logic.
AUDIO OF TEXT PART4 OF 4
Reasoning tells us it makes no sense but people are told that is what happened and they believe it. Who made these crosses???. What if that israelite or others had said “NO i am not dragging that bloody big thing up that hill so you can kill me” what could they have threatened them with. The above passages indicates that the hanging from a tree was a fulfilment of prophecy christianity also acknowledge this they just changed the location from a tree to their kind of cross.
The Romans would have made a fortune if they had copyright their roman cross. In the name of fairness i should point out that there are other kind of crosses available depending on what you chose to believe in. I am not a expert on acient roman industries and i may have missed the programme where they found a roman cross there is none in the museums. If we are to rely on sense and reasoning then we are in conflict with beliefs. I AM STILL WONDERING
