I think I might've gotten my info from a Jehova's witness site by accident, because like Bopeep mentioned that's what they believe. What happened was that someone (in another thread) mentioned that Christ died on a tree or something of that nature. So I quickly researched it online, and that was the first information that popped up. But, it could've been a Jehovah witness site... That is an interesting read but that is not what I read on a very reliable source.How can we know for sure?We were not there.But like Rusty said "Does it matter?". What did you read if you don't mind me asking? See my PM Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the greek said cross it meant cross. Second, the cross, in Roman times, was often referred to as a tree-as it was made out of wood, and there wasn't a lot of natural trees in the area. So in reality, even though it was upon a cross-which is backed up by other roman manuscripts (it was the Romans favorite way to execute someone in that era) it was referred to as the tree. Its like we call vise grips vise grips, even though anymore most of them arnt made by vise. . .and the technical term for them is locking pliers.
