I totally take your point, but if you reflect on it a bit you’ll realize that crucifixion would be totally unsuitable for the Nazis’ purposes. They were all about speed. They converted their gas-chambers from carbon-monoxide to Zyklon-B specifically because it killed twice as fast. Trying to kill hundreds of people at a time would become unmanageable if it took hours or days. This would not work for their assembly-line approach.

Well, it is not like all German doctors were full-blown Nazis.. Remember that Germany was humiliated, by the treaty of Versailles, which made them ripe for propaganda, but most were still humans.

Thinking every citizen of Germany in the 1940s was a Nazi is like thinking every citizen of Afghanistan is a member or supporter of Taliban.

Also, a spear in the side was often inflicted bc they would pierce the organs of the body like the liver, kidneys, stomach, and sometimes intestines so that the internal bodyfluids would fester out of the body so that the victims could literally feel the life draining out of their bodies and inflict mental anguish bc of the amount of irritation the leaking bodily fluids would cause. Bc it would feel like a bug crawling on your skin AND did in fact attract bugs into your body. Then there were the vultures, pecking away at your flesh and eating you alive, not being able to shoo them away. It is ridiculous how cruel humans can be

Some of the symbols would differ, obviously. Something that had to be closely attended would not carry the same import, and it had to fit with cryptic references of suffering from the much earlier Hebrew psalms and later prophetic reference, integrated into the Jewish story as it was. Classic Christian faith expresses "mad respect" as it were for God to carry out something that graphic when every other manifestation of God before that was of something simply that would not suffer touching by the unholy. But God had the ability -- "once for all" -- to surrender for the sake of mercy. To forgive us our sins and to die for our sins, it turns out, are wrapped up in one thing.

Actually, it's a linguistic difference. In many languages, including ancient Hebrew (and modern Russian), there aren't distinct words for arm and hand. They use one word for the entire limb. So when translators encounter this word, they have to determine which was meant. Early translators translated it as hand, which led to the popular misconception. Artwork (which was much more accessible, especially to those who couldn't read) just solidified it in people's mind.

True. Jesus was never crucified and I doubt anyone was ever actually crucified. They were impaled.

"Lesus... Ludarium" 😑 Those are Is not Ls. "Iesus", pronounced "Ye-soos", the Latin transcription of Hebrew "Yeshua" (an alternative form of the older "Yehoshua", the origin of the English name "Joshua"). "Iudaeorum", Latin transcription of "Yehudi" (literally "from the tribe of Yehuda", the latter also Anglicized as "Judah").

So the movie Jesus of Nazareth actually had the most accurate part of the crucifixion then... since they did just put the beam on his back and nail the wrists and ankles. I forgot what all they did with passion of the christ but i watched that movie a lot growing up

I have never understood the human need to inflict on another person as much suffering as possible, especially when death is the deliberate outcome.

UNLIKE Christianity where you won't find members going nuts and trying to kill you because you disrespected their lead prophet.

I was disappointed I didn't get abs like Jesus. Cross Fit is a scam.

BTW, I think Hollywood did a "little" overwork" in this scene, 1.12? Those crosses would not have been planed, on the "backside"? Very informative for a hobby historian, though. Thank You. from a Finn in Diaspora

I believe that since many crosses were REUSED, there were certainly ones that were planed on the backside. Maybe you refer to specific crosses that have been archaeologically recovered.

No canonical text refers to the death of Saint Peter. Apart from the Acts of Peter, the earliest attestation that Saint Peter was executed by crucifixion is found in Adversus Gnosticos Scorpiace, a treatise composed by Tertullian in the first decade of the 3rd century

God of War: Resurrection He fights Jesus but Jesus can just keep resurrecting. He has to find a new weapon to beat Jesus. The weapon turns out to be a cross.

So...with everything going on in the world right now, then watching this, I can only come to the conclusion that humans have an inexplicably sadistic streak that's so far beyond anything reasonable...it's just such a waste. We are capable of such beautiful and wondrous acts, inventions and a sort of abstract "evolution" seemingly unique to our species, yet it seems we will never discard the thoroughly unnecessary urge to inflict abject cruelty on nature, animals and other humans. I'm looking for the right word and I can't find it. Maybe "disappointing" is it. We are so much better than that. Though in practice, we aren't. Yes, I'm disappointed more than anything. It's just so senseless.

Humans are fallen. God made us perfect, in His own image, which is why we have so many wonderful characteristics. But we have a sin nature inherited from our first ancestors, Adam and Eve, who rebelled. God still loves us, but as for us with these horrible tendencies we can't get along with Him, we can't be at peace with each other nor with Him. That's why Jesus, God's sinless Son, was willing to undergo this torture, to pay the penalty for all of humanity's sins. To bring us to God. He's the only One who could die like this on our behalf, and then He powerfullly rose from the dead 3 days later.

There's a theory about lead contamination causing mental problems in ancient Romans, which caused them to be so cruel.

There is a flip side to this argument. If Jesus knew the future, He knew He’d rise in three days, thus, may not have given a darn. Or, if He could see into the future and see that most folks really didn’t care, He might have wondered why He wasted His time for a group of ingrates. Whether you believe this or not, I’m not trying to discredit or dismiss your opinion. Just be aware that this theory seems like myths to many others

But not as bad as what the Abghusrenyus used to do!

The nails went trough the wrists, not the hands

I know the misconception came from a poor translation, but if the arms are tied to the cross, is there any reason why nails in the palm of the hand wouldn't work? Not for support, but just as an added but of torture, which the Romans were not unknown to do.

"Hopefully we nailed it" Jesus, what a tasteless joke.

The thumbnail is certainly incorrect - hands can't support body weight at all. Even when nailed through the wrists straps were sometimes used.

Many victims were also left on the cross until they rotted off and had their corpses picked apart my things like vultures. They very rarely had a burial. Like impaling, this was done to let those who saw the victims know what would happen to them if they crossed the powers that be. Also like impalement, methods were developed to keep the victim alive for as long as possible, to prolong the suffering. Imagine if impalement were the preferred method of execution of the Romans in the first century if you get my drift.

Crucifixions a doddle, did I spot Elvis the Centurion in this vid?

Always look on the bright side of life 🎶😗

Lesus? Iesus, that was horrible (5:54).

LOLOLOLOLOL This must be a sign of my age or something I don't know-but each time you explained the nails going through the ankles my fucking Knees hurt, I don't know why my knees would hurt there, other than, they hurt always, but, this was more of a "Ahhhh shhhiiitt why man, why, why are you showing me this--" while you can't look away ya know? huh? mebbe? sorta? O.o :P

Some depictions of Jesus carry the cross actually depict it accurately by showing him only carrying the cross bar.

That sign over the head, though. Pretty sure the average person being crucified was in too much pain to worry about the sign. Like you're groaning and gasping and ask, "What does my sign say?" More likely put there to torment anyone who liked the condemned.

I refuse to wear torture trees...

I’m beginning to wonder if anyone in The Roman Empire didn’t die by execution

This video made me quite cross.
