The Cross

[FONT=&quot]Origin of the word crux.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Latin for:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] stake, scaffold, or cross, used in executions or torment.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The English term "[/FONT][FONT=&quot]cross[/FONT][FONT=&quot]" is derived from the Latin word crux. From about 1635 to 1645 AD. [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]This standard was known by the name "[FONT=&quot]labarum"[/FONT]—a word the etymology of which is very uncertain. The etymology of the word is unclear.

[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Patibulum[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It is a establish fact that the two-beamed cross was in existence in the time of Yahshua, and that the word crux was used to refer to it. The crux was composed of two main pieces: The stipes, which is the upright pole, and the patibulum attached to it. The patibulum is the cross beam. [/FONT]

Anyway, the words Cross and Crucify were added to the bible and dictionaries to satisfy the Catholics.

Are you like me and disapprove of of scriptures being tampered with? If I was to produce a more accurate bible, would you be interested in having it?

[FONT=&quot]Homeric and classical Greek[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In Homeric and classical Greek, stauros meant an upright stake, pole, or piece of paling, upon which anything might be hung.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In the literature of that time, it never means two pieces of timber placed across one another at any angle, but always one piece alone.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Koine Greek[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In Koine Greek, the form of Greek used between about 300 BC and AD 300, the word σταυρός (Stauros) was used to denote a structure on which the Romans executed criminals. In the writings of the Diodorus Siculus (1st century BC), Plutarch and Lucian – non-Christian writers, of whom only Lucian makes clear the shape of the device – the word stauros is generally translated as "stake."[/FONT]
