We live in a world in which it is difficult to obtain credible information. When the information we have inherited from past generations is tainted with lies, it can be difficult to separate truth from deception.
Many of the beliefs we’ve been conditioned to accept have been crafted and disseminated by dark forces aiming to trap us in their satanic pagan worship. These same dark forces are also responsible for spreading a false image of Jesus as a Caucasian, androgynous figure that does not match biblical descriptions of the Messiah.
The claim that Jesus died on a cross is one of the most widely accepted lies of the centuries. This is because the Modern bible we are using has been corrupted. The same Bible that says Jesus was crucified on a cross also has verses that say the opposite.
Even when they try to hide the truth, they often forget to take away the key information that shows the truth. I will cite several verses in the same modern bible to prove to you that Jesus did not die on a cross.
Where you can find the Truth in the Bible
As I have highlighted in previous posts, the Bible’s multiple translations from its original languages, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek have created confusion and left many Christians unaware of the challenges that confront them. To gain a more in-depth understanding, let’s analyze the original Greek text, which many modern Bible translations are based on.
The original Greek text of the New Testament uses “stauros” (σταυρός) and “xylon” (ξύλον) to describe the instrument of Jesus’ execution. Scholars have extensively studied these terms, noting that “stauros” typically refers to a stake or beam, often translated as ‘cross,’ but more accurately describing a single upright stake or beam, as seen in passages like Matthew 27:40, Mark 15:21, and Galatians 6:14.
In contrast, “xylon” emphasizes the material, meaning “timber,” “wood,” or “tree,” and is used in Acts 5:30, 10:39, 13:29, Galatians 3:13, and 1 Peter 2:24 to focus on the material rather than a specific shape.
Hermann Fulda’s book “Das Kreuz und die Kreuzigung” offers historical insight into the Roman’s ancient execution methods, suggesting simple stakes were often used. According to Fulda, the scarcity of trees at Roman execution sites led to the use of a single beam or stake dug into the ground. The victim’s hands and sometimes feet were bound or nailed to the stake.
In Galatians 3:13, Paul quotes Deuteronomy 21:23, referencing Jesus being ‘hung on a tree.’ The Greek word ‘xylon’ (ξύλον) meaning ‘tree’ or ‘wooden stake,’ supports the idea that Jesus was executed on a stake rather than a cross-shaped structure. This interpretation is supported by the Deuteronomy passage, which highlights the curse associated with hanging on a tree.
Anyone hung on a pole is under God’s curse.
Deuteronomy 21:23
This passage is part of the Old Testament Law, which specifically addresses the treatment of someone who has been executed and hung on a tree (or stake) as a form of public display. Furthermore, the verse stresses that someone hung in such a manner is cursed by God.
In Galatians 3:13, Paul uses Deuteronomy 21:23 to explain the significance of Jesus’ death, pointing out its self-sacrificing nature. Jesus, by bearing the curse associated with hanging on a tree, took on himself the punishment for humanity’s sins.
But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.
Galatians 3:13
Another proof can be found in Acts 5:30, where Peter explicitly mentions Jesus being hung on a tree, reinforcing the idea of a stake or tree being used in his execution. This verse describes Jesus’ execution as being hung on a tree, aligning with the Greek term ‘xylon’ and supporting the imagery of a stake or tree rather than a cross.
The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
Acts 5:30
In Acts 10:39, Peter again references Jesus being ‘hung on a tree,’ with some translations using ‘wood’ instead of ‘cross.’ This terminology aligns with the Greek word ‘xylon,’ suggesting a stake or tree rather than a specifically cross-shaped structure.
And we are witnesses of everything he did in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They killed him by hanging him on a cross.
Acts 10:39
In 1 Peter 2:24, Peter writes that Jesus bore our sins on the tree, with some translations using ‘tree’ instead of ‘cross.’ This language aligns with the Greek term ‘xylon,’ implying a wooden stake or tree rather than a specific cross-shaped instrument.
He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
1 Peter 2:24
These verses collectively highlight the significance of a tree or wooden structure in Jesus’ execution, with various translations and interpretations suggesting a stake or tree rather than a traditional cross-shaped instrument.
Moreover, there’s no evidence that early Christians worshipped or prayed to the cross in the first 300 years after Christ’s death. All of this comes down to a single man, and his name is Constantine, the 4th-century Roman Emperor.
Constantine’s influence on Christianity in the 4th century is well-documented. Constantine had a vision before the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD, which he thought was a sign from God. He allegedly witnessed a cross in the sky with the words “In hoc signo vinces” (“In this sign, you will conquer”) before his battle.
After his victory, Constantine reportedly took up the cross as a symbol of his military campaigns and later as a symbol of his Christian faith. His adoption of the cross symbol contributed to its widespread use in Christianity. This raises an intriguing question: if Jesus didn’t die on a cross, where did the cross symbol originate?
The Origin of the Christian Cross Symbol
What Constantine described as having seen in his vision was simply a way to introduce Babylonian symbols into Christianity. The cross was already used in Babylon before Constantine and Christianity. The Tammuz religion in Mesopotamia worshipped the god Tammuz, and the cross symbol was first used to honor him.
It is important to note that Tammuz was the son of Nimrod (the Sun god in Mesopotamia) and Semiramis (the Queen of Heaven in Mesopotamia). The entire world is involved in all sorts of paganism because of these trios. Our Creator foresaw how Babylon’s culture would impact our generation, which is why the bible warned us to stay away from them.
Tammuz, associated with fertility and vegetation, was worshipped through rituals and symbols, including the Tau cross (T-shape). His worship involved various rituals, such as fertility ceremonies, life cycle events, sacred marriage rites, and mourning rituals for his death and resurrection. The cycle of Cross worship extended beyond Mesopotamia to all parts of the world, and was revolutionized by the ancient Egyptians as the ankh.
In Ancient Egypt, the ankh symbol, featuring a cross-like shape with a loop at the top, represented life and eternity, similar to the themes of fertility and cyclical nature associated with Tammuz. The ankh was often featured in art and jewellery and was associated with gods and goddesses, who were believed to possess the power to grant eternal life.
The symbol emphasized their role in sustaining life and represented both physical and spiritual well-being. This symbol went on to show how much ancient Egyptians valued life and the afterlife. Even after the Egyptian dynasty, the cross became a symbol for other cultures in Europe, North America and Asia.
The Celtic cross symbol was used in their art and spirituality by the Celts and was adorned with intricate knotwork, representing harmony between the spiritual and physical realms.
In Buddhism and Indian culture, the svastika, a cross-like symbol, represents good fortune, prosperity, auspiciousness, and positivity, often associated with spiritual growth, the sun, and life cycles.
The Chinese character ‘十’ (shí) represents completeness, while Japan’s jūmonji is used in Buddhism and family crests.
The cross has also been used to justify violence, as seen in the Crusades, and to spread terror, as exemplified by the Ku Klux Klan’s practice of burning crosses to intimidate and threaten minority groups, particularly African Americans, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States.
Constantine’s decision to integrate the cross into Christianity was a strategic move to combine pagan and Christian traditions and spread Christianity among pagans. Decades after the end of the Roman Empire, the occults that run this world revived the Constantine pagan tradition and forced us to participate in it.
Today, the cross has become a widely recognized symbol of Christianity and modern fashion. Even when many people are unaware of its origins, it continues to be worn as a fashion statement by people of various faiths and backgrounds, including celebrities.
Conclusion
We are living in a modern-day Babylon, where darkness rules and Satan is the god of this world.
When you do the sign of the cross or celebrate it on pagan celebrations like lent, Good Friday or Easter, you are not celebrating the death and resurrection of the true messiah. You are commemorating a Babylonian culture filled with satanistic vices.
In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that I am not a pastor, nor do I aspire to be one. I am simply a humble watchman driven by our Creator, who uses discernment to shed light on the darkness and deception in our world. Ultimately, my time in this world is limited, and when it ends, I’ll welcome the moment, knowing I have stood for truth.
