which brings us back to the question of ''how did they get the body down'' ? the inverse of standing would be to lay it down .
I have been a carpenter/builder, standing poles were its done by hand ,can be easy or it can be hard . the guys that don't know do it the hard way . . but then to...
as to '' leave it in place'' then there is the issue of then standing a ladder to climb up to put nails in . I have been a carpenter/builder for most of my life ,that would not be an easy thing to do and the to climb backup to get the dead body down . no that's not going to happen
lets not forget Jesus fulfilled the requirements of the covenant . today in the here and now Jesus has to be accepted as the Christ . if not ,what are the chances of salvation ?
my thinking is they only wanted the feet high enough off the ground to make it easier to break the leg by putting force against the knee to the pole.. the knee would then be about 4-5' up?? . I 'm not what would be called tall .to hang someone of my size the head would be 9-10' up then the...
and yet he ''turned his attention to the nations to take out of them a people for his name.'' even a people that would listen and do what God required of them .
Acts 15:14

i'd say things did change
may of even improved on it . they were hideous .I cant even imagine being that mean to someone. not only did they almost beat a man to death but to then stretch them out and nail them to the wood ,stand it up to drop into the hole. left them to die a torchered death. if the man had not died in...
granted if there was a pole set that had a rope ran up over the top to then pull a man up ,yes it would be easier to hang someone up. it would also of been easier for some one that did not want them hung up to get them down.
nails are hard to remove .climbing a ladder to then remove a nail...
people tend to forget how clever the Romans were . they built roads engineered to last forever. aqueducts that carried water 40 + miles . siege towers to roll up to walls . battering rams to beat down walls .they were clever at building things . you should know they would know how to pull a...
fact is there would be no standing cross or pole , it would be taken down to remove the dead body. or the whole thing could of been carried away to dispose of the body.
if you had ever tried to pull a pole up and out of a hole ,without the use of a handle /cross bar ,that by the way also has a...
have you ever considered that if the cross was placed ,in your view, that it could be stood upside down . standing a cross or even a pole with a man nailed to it is harder than you may imagine. with the cross bar near the bottom it serves as a aid in standing the thing up .it would look like...
