Nice bit of research Snuff. Why not research the meaning of the Greek word stauros that has been translated 'cross' in some Bible versions. Another word used to describe what Jesus was nailed to is xylon. Notice how this is translated in the King James and Jerusalem Bibles. The King James Version reads at Acts 5:30: “The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree [xy'lon].” Other versions, though rendering stauros' as “cross,” also translate xy'lon as “tree.” At Acts 13:29, The Jerusalem Bible says of Jesus: “When they had carried out everything that scripture foretells about him they took him down from the tree [xy'lon] and buried him.”
