For the past century, one of history’s most widely accepted lies has been that Jesus died on a cross. This is because the modern Bible has been translated multiple times from ancient manuscripts in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, resulting in inconsistencies between versions.

The Bible that claims Jesus was crucified on a cross also contains verses that state the opposite. In this article, I will use several of these verses to demonstrate that Jesus did not die on the cross.

Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus did not die on the cross?

As previously stated, the Bible’s multiple translations from its original languages of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek have caused confusion. To gain a deeper understanding of the instrument used to kill Jesus, we must examine the original Greek text and compare it to many modern Bible translations.

The New Testament’s original Greek text describes Jesus’ execution instrument as stauros and xylon. Stauros refers to a stake or beam, while xylon indicates the material (wood or tree). Acts 5:30, 10:39, 13:29, Galatians 3:13, and 1 Peter 2:24 all use the same terms to describe a single upright stake. Even in Matthew 27:40 and Mark 15:21, stauros and xylon were referred to as a single upright stake, but in some modern bible translations, they are mistranslated as crosses.

According to Hermann Fulda’s book ‘Das Kreuz und die Kreuzigung’ (The Cross and the Crucifixion), Roman executions typically used single stakes due to scarce wood resources. Victims were bound or nailed to the stake, reflecting the brutal and public nature of crucifixion. This aligns with scholars like Coleman, Kyle, Wiedemann, and Hopkins, who described Roman executions as a means of deterrence and social control. The Old Testament law in Deuteronomy 21:23 addresses the shame and divine curse of being hung on a pole, stating:

Anyone hung on a pole is under God’s curse.

Deuteronomy 21:23

In Galatians 3:13, Paul uses Deuteronomy 21:23 to explain Jesus’ redemptive death, saying:

¹³ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.

Galatians 3:13 (King James Version)

Furthermore, Acts 5:30 provides additional evidence of Jesus’ death, with Peter stating that he was ‘hanged on a tree‘, reinforcing the idea that a stake or tree was used in his execution. This aligns with the Greek term ‘xylon‘, supporting the imagery of a tree rather than a cross.

³⁰ The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

Acts 5:30 (King James Version)

Acts 10:39 again mentions Jesus being ‘hung on a tree‘, with literal translations like KJV, NKJV, and Young’s Literal Translation using ‘tree‘ instead of ‘cross‘, reflecting the Greek word ‘xylon‘ meaning ‘tree’ or ‘wood’

³⁹ And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree.

Acts 10:39 (New King James Version)

In 1 Peter 2:24, Peter states that Jesus bore our sins on the tree, with translations such as the King James Version, New King James Versions, Young’s Literal Translation, Darby Bible Translation, and Literal Standard Version using ‘tree’ instead of ‘cross.’

²⁴ Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1 Peter 2:24 (New King James Version)

Depending on the version, these verses indicate that Jesus died on a tree rather than a cross. Moreover, there’s no evidence that early Christians worshipped or prayed to the cross in the first 300 years after Christ’s death.

So, given everything that has been said, why has the entire world been worshipping the cross, even though the Bible clearly states otherwise? All of this confusion came from a single man, and his name is Constantine, the 4th-century Roman Emperor.

Constantine’s influence on Christianity is well documented, beginning with his vision before the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312. He claimed to have seen a cross in the sky with the words ‘In hoc signo vinces’ (‘In this sign, you will conquer’), which marked a watershed moment for Christianity.

After Milvian Bridge, Constantine adopted the cross as a symbol, first for his military campaigns, then for Christianity. Scholars believe this was a strategic move to consolidate power in a crumbling Rome, bringing the empire together under one faith. So where did Constantine get the cross symbol from, if Jesus didn’t die on one?

The Origin of the Christian Cross Symbol

Before Constantine and Christianity, the cross symbol was used in Babylon to worship the god of fertility, Tammuz. It is worth noting that Tammuz was the son of Nimrod (the Sun god in Mesopotamia) and Semiramis. Because of the abominations of these trios, the entire world is now involved in various forms of paganism.

Tammuz was worshipped using rituals and symbols, such as the Tau cross (T-shape). His worship included fertility ceremonies, life cycle events, sacred marriage rites, and mourning rituals for his death and resurrection. Our Creator foresaw how Babylon’s culture would affect our generation, which is why he warned us to stay away from them (Revelation 18:4 and Jeremiah 51:6-8).

When Babylon fell, its cultural and symbolic influences, including the Tammuz cult, spread to other nations, including Rome. Constantine, a great admirer of Tammuz, most likely borrowed from these existing traditions when he adopted the cross symbol.

Because much of Babylon’s pagan belief had been incorporated into Rome, Constantine invented a story about his vision to trick his followers into accepting the cross symbolism. This is how the cross symbol came to be associated with Christianity, as a result of Constantine’s integration of paganism and Christianity.

The Cross symbolism did not stop in Rome; it became a symbol for many cultures. In Ancient Egypt, it was transformed into the ankh. The ankh symbol, which stands for balance and eternal life, combines cross symbolism with a loop. Egyptians’ love of life and the afterlife was reflected in its frequent appearance in jewellery and art, which represented both physical and spiritual well-being.

The cross symbol spread throughout Europe, North America, and Asia, influencing cultures such as the Celts, who incorporated it into art and spirituality using intricate knotwork to represent harmony between realms.

In Asia, the cross symbol evolved into the svastika, which has important meaning in Buddhism and Indian culture, representing spiritual growth, the sun, and life cycles, demonstrating the symbol’s versatility.

In East Asia, the cross symbol influenced characters like Chinese ‘十’ (shí), representing completeness or the number ten, and Japan’s jūmonji, used in Buddhism and family crests.

The cross has also been used to justify violence, most notably during the Crusades, when it represented Christian warfare, resulting in widespread bloodshed. The Ku Klux Klan also used burning crosses to terrorize minority, particularly African Americans, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Constantine’s decision to integrate the cross into Christianity was a smart move to combine pagan and Christian traditions. Following the fall of the Roman Empire and all ancient civilizations, people of all faiths and backgrounds now wear the cross symbol without realizing its evil origins.

Conclusion

Every piece of evidence I presented to you proved that Jesus did not die on the cross. When you make the sign of the cross, you are not honouring the true Messiah. You are glorifying a Babylonian culture that is filled with satanic vices.

Finally, I want to emphasize that I am not a pastor and have no desire to be one. I am simply a watchman who exposes evil and deception in this world. My time in this world will eventually come to an end, and I will take with me the knowledge that I stood up for truth. We are currently living in Babylon. Leave now, while you still can.  It’s never too late to act!
