Roman crucifixion took many forms, only one of which was a stake. We cannot be dogmatic about what Jesus himself was crucified on, nor does it even matter. The symbol of Christianity is the cross.

I thought the cross shape came from the ankh from Ancient Egypt

It's WEIRD that people who call themselves christians WEAR cross necklaces and adore them as well. I wonder if there's ANYBODY who would adore or wear a gun necklace used to kill their loved one? Just asking..😌

The crossbeam was actually used by the Roman Empire, and the definition of the word Stauros expanded to mean a few different versions of the device in the centuries before Jesus was even born.

A human hung on a cross wouldn't suffocate. However being hung on a Stake (stau·rosʹ) would support its purpose.

ask a kid of your congregation to draw the stake with the panel above... you'll get cross-y results 😂

The romans actually used 4 types of torture stakes. The vertical one, the crossbeam types as well. And Jehovah’s Witnesses used to use the cross in their descriptions then stopped. Over the years as you know there was no complete record keeping. We can argue all day if Jesus was executed on a vertical stake or crossbeam all day it really doesn’t matter and has no bearing on my salvation. What matters is that everyone accepts that Jesus did die for our sins and live in a way that shows we appreciate the sacrifice Jehovah and Jesus made for mankind’s salvation.

Sam :
was spatacus nailed to an upright stake (stauros)? No, Spartacus was not nailed to a stake (stauros) or a cross. According to ancient Roman historians like Plutarch and Appian, Spartacus died fighting on the battlefield during the final clash of the Third Servile War in 71 BC. Appian records that Spartacus was heavily wounded—shot through the thigh with a spear—but fought bravely on his knees until he was completely surrounded and cut down. His body was so badly disfigured that it was never recovered or identified. [1, 2, 3] The famous image of Spartacus being crucified comes from the classic 1960 Hollywood movie starring Kirk Douglas, which altered history for dramatic effect. However, the specific execution method you described did happen to his army: The Mass Execution: While Spartacus died in battle, the Roman general Crassus took roughly 6,000 surviving rebels captive and crucified them along a 120-mile stretch of the Appian Way. [1, 2] The Shape of the Cross (Stauros): In first-century Roman executions, the Greek word stauros originally referred to a simple upright wooden pole or stake (crux simplex). Over time, the Romans frequently added a horizontal crossbeam (patibulum) to construct T-shaped or dagger-shaped crosses. For a mass execution of 6,000 people, Roman soldiers likely used whatever wood was readily available, including standard vertical poles, crossbeams, or even nearby trees. [1, 2, 3]

The question really is, not, “how was Jesus executed”?, but the question you and I and others should be asking ourselves is, ”should I wear a symbol of it on my body, on clothing or bow-down before a symbol of whatever he was executed on?”

Certified OG :
To be fair, the cross is ancient, older than Jesus and his execution. Christians could have landed on so many different symbols for their standard: The Fish, a Crown, a Lamb, a Dove, a Baby. The cross was a religious symbol first, and Christians Hijacked it. That seems like more of a problem than many realize. Also, it represented a curse in Judaism. I think in the vein of symbols approved by God, they would have chosen a different symbol. For example, just imagine if the Black Panther Party chose a noose to represent their cause. Ridiculous, right? Why choose the instrument of their Lord’s execution? Isn’t it just as offensive? Why would God feel any different? I personally cannot reconcile with this logic.

people use the cross to symbolize their christian faith based on Jesus being also God however both of these so called truths are really lies dressed up to look and feel like truth. Jesus is not Jehovah God and wearing or displaying a cross has nothing to do with Jesus and truth.
