Not unless they had a custom-sized torture stake prepared for him in advance. Which would go against what the Bible says since Jesus was taken at night and he was sent to different locations before his death.
The Bible implies that the circumstances leading to his death were in haste. Even the sign had to be prepared on the fly. They were not prepared for all this. So they certainly used the same standard length pieces of wood for Jesus as they did for everyone else. This theory lends evidence that Jesus died on a Cross with arms stretched horizontally. Only arms streteched horizontally would have left plenty of room at the top for the big sign! The Jehovah's Witnesses consistently illustrate in their artwork Jesus having a single nail through his wrists.
Nowhere in scripture is the wrist ever mentioned in regards to the crucifixion of Jesus. Also, notice how small the text in the sign is. A sign of this size would not be easily readable to anyone other than people standing directly in front of Jesus.
The sign was probably much bigger to have more visibility. See point 3 above. The WatchTower consistently illustrate in their artwork Jesus having a nail through his wrists and not his hands. More inaccurate artwork produced by the WatchTower. Notice in both images a single nail through the wrist. And again, the wrist had nothing to do with this. Also, notice again such a small sign. In reality, someone who would go to the trouble of having a sign made in 3 languages would not make the sign so small so that it would be hard to see.
Also, notice on the left image how there is little room left at the top of the torture stake for a sign. More inaccurate artwork showing Jesus having a single nail through his wrists and not his hands. Some of their same arguments can even be used against them to prove they are wrong.
Some examples of these invalid arguments are below. Jesus cannot be God because he is the Son. Anyways, human logic is not the final authority. The Bible, which is God's Word, is the final authority.
It is a term related to position, authority, and status. The Bible has the term 'firstborn' in other verses and it has nothing to do with being born created first.
For example, David was firstborn, but he was actually the last born. Another example is how Jacob was the firstborn, but he actually was not born first. The context of Colossians itself proves this point. It is talking about Christ's Supremacy. Of course, the Watchtower knows all this and it is why they have perverted this text by adding the word 'other' multiple times in Colossians chapter 1.
See Psalms where it says David would be placed as firstborn even after he already existed. Psalms 89 has it's final fulfillment with Jesus Christ himself! Jesus, who is in the line of David, is the king of kings, he is the ruler over all the kings of the earth, and he will rule forever.
So Jesus, who is in the line of David and who fulfilled the prophecy about David, had the term firstborn placed on him and it has nothing to do with him being created.
Psalms 89 also agrees with point 1 above because it links the term firstborn with position, authority, and status. See Romans where it says Jesus would be firstborn among many brothers. It's talking about humans here. Again, this verse has nothing to do with Jesus being created. The term here is in reference to his Earthly life. He was born by the Spirit just like we too are all to be born by the Spirit in his likeness.
It says "firstborn from the dead". Again, it has nothing to do with being born or created. This verse also agrees with point 1 above and links the term 'firstborn' with position, authority, and status since it says Jesus is the Ruler of the kings of the Earth. Jesus cannot be God because he never said he is God.
Jesus never even said directly he is the Son of God, but we all know he is. The 'Trinity' cannot be true since it has pagan history. Look at your own religion before using this argument. If Charles Taze Russell was alive today, he would be disfellowshipped in a heartbeart. This argument is simply invalid because Satan likes to mimic and counterfeit God. Of course, he will take a Biblical concept and twist it to mislead others later. It's what he does.
The 'Trinity' cannot be true because the word never appears in the Bible. The word 'Trinity' is just a word that everybody is familiar with. The concept of the trinity is clearly in the Bible.
You are wrong because we have the truth! The Jehovah's Witness religion has bad history, has made false prophecies, has perverted God's word, and has been deceptive.
We have the most accurate Bible translation in existence. Your prior Bible versions can also prove the same thing when compared to the new version. Furthermore, the so-called translators remain secret to this day. When asked why this is the case, a JW will say it is to keep glory from going to the translators. Which is an excuse. The names of more important Jehovah's Witnesses do not remain secret.
For example, the governing body members are all known. The so-called translators are the only ones that remain secret. You can take any well known Bible and you can find the translators responsible. For example, the new NET Bible has a list of professional scholars and translators with their actual names, credentials, and education.
The NET includes more than translation notes to explain why verses were translated the way they were. This is complete transparency. Unlike the New World Translation which is secretive and deceptive. Secondly, Jehovah himself in your own Bible is called 'Mighty God'. You cannot know someone unless you know their name. Most Popular. New Releases. Desktop Enhancements. Networking Software.
