Did God die on the cross?

Jesus may not have died nailed to the cross because there is no evidence that the Romans crucified prisoners two thousand years ago, a scholar has claimed.

The legend of his execution is based on the traditions of the Christian church and artistic illustrations rather than antique texts, according to theologian Gunnar Samuelsson.

He claims the Bible has been misinterpreted as there are no explicit references the use of nails or to crucifixion - only that Jesus bore a "staurus" towards Calvary which is not necessarily a cross but can also mean a "pole".

Mr Samuelsson, who has written a 400-page thesis after studying the original texts, said: "The problem is descriptions of crucifixions are remarkably absent in the antique literature.

"The sources where you would expect to find support for the established understanding of the event really don't say anything."

The ancient Greek, Latin and Hebrew literature from Homer to the first century AD describe an arsenal of suspension punishments but none mention "crosses" or "crucifixion."

The title is asking a ridiculous question. God is Spirit and He cannot die. Jesus died a physically death, but that doesn't mean God died. Jesus is the express image and representation of all that God is, but He was human and the son of man. He was and is the word of God made flesh. He is not a messenger like Satan wants us to believe; He is the Message! He is the living message that walked amongst us in the human race, but He is who God calls Him: the son of God and God. I could never say who is God or the son of God. but God can say and that is what I adhere to.
peace
