What happened to the Crucifix Jesus died on?

As the crucifix was a two part scaffold... the cross bar was attached after Jesus carried it and gave it to the Roman soldiers.  The upright pole was most likely fixed in the ground and reusable for past and future crufixications.  The cross bar was raised up by ropes and poles after the hands were nailed on the cross bar... then the feet were nailed to the pole as the victum hung by his hands... So after Jesus died, he was most likely lifted down from the pole with the cross bar still attached.  But first to get him down the nails were pulled from his feet... and then the cross bar was unhooked from the upright pole and lowered down to the ground where the nails were removed from his hands.  Then the cross bar was most likely thrown into the "garbage pile" as the place where crufications took place... "Golgatha" was the rubbish/garbage area for the city of Jeruselem.  The full cross was not ever carried... it would have been too heavy for anyone to carry.  Only the cross bar was given for the condemned person to carry.  Archealogy, and cultural research have found how the Romans conducted their crufications ... as thousands were carried out by the Roman government throughout their conquered lands.  Hope this helps.  :)

People didnt die right away, it was painful and they were nailed to a cross and left hanging bleeding to death, thats why people say he died after they crucified him.

Its interesting in that it claims Judas was the one crucified, and that Jesus ascended into heaven.\n\nit also claims that jesus foretold of a final prophet for all men, "the blessed one" - the blessed one, when translated into arabic becomes "Muhammad".

The Book of Acts wrote that Jesus was killed by hanging him on a tree. By Jewish tradition,  a man being hang on a tree is cursed. So, there could be something there why Christians are hiding why he was hung on the cross. However, your question could be true because it is not  just the cross that was made holy. The shroud that was used to cover his body is one, the blood that oozed out when he was pierced, his wounds are called sacred, the Grail which up to now is not really clear which one, In fact, had they found the spear, maybe it will also be holy, It is not impossible to have the nooze be called holy if that will be the case and so was the tree. I am still waiting for the whip that was used to flogg him and that could be a holy whip. I wanted to say to you to let them be however my heart tells me to tell the Christians let it be known that those kind of adorations are simply idolatrous however you look at it. Of course, whatever they do they will always have a good reason.

Jesus did not die naked on the cross, he also did not deserve to be crucified.  Jesus was the one and only human being that lived absolutely, positively perfect.  Completely sin free.  It was tradition to break the legs of the people crucified to hurry the death.  They did not do that to him either.  Neither the humiliation of nakedness, nor the breaking of the legs was tolerated by God, therefore it did not happen.

Consider this:\n\nAccording to Christians, before the crucifixion Jesus (as God) was:\n\nOmnipotent\nOmniscient\nOmnibenevolent\n\nAFTER the crucifixtion, Jesus remains:\n\nOmnipotent\nOmniscient\nOmnibenevolent\n\nSacrifice means to give something up.  As I see it, Jesus didn't give up a darn thing.  God (as Jesus or through Jesus) is EXACTLY the same as God was before the crucifixion.  Nope....no sacrifice there.

We christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. On Good Friday he was crucified and on Easter he was resurrected.

Jesus died on a Wednesday.  3-days is equal to 72 hours, so if Jesus died Wednesday at 3pm, the third day is Saturday.  He arose on Sunday, that is, 3-days after he died which means that the teaching that Jesus died Friday is wrong!

the "Passion" was a kids version of what truly happened. it was so brutal that it could not be shown on TV or movies. it was so painful before they were put on the cross, it was a miracle that He did not die before the cross. first, he was spat upon and his beard was torn out by his own people. then he was whipped with a stick. he was taken before pilate. then he was sripped naked and whipped by the "cat and nine tails" which had peices of metal and glass that tears the skinn off. they whipped him thirty-nine times. then he was robed in purple and a crown of thorns was forced onto his head. the thorns were the length of common nails and as thin as a pine needle. they were so sharp that they went through his scull. then he was forced to carry his cross which would have weighd something near five hundred pounds. he had to carry it throu the streets ant to the mount called golgotha which was a good ten kilometers from the roman post in the city. once there, he had his clothes ripped off him once more and was forced to hold out his arms where nails the length of railroad spikes were driven into his hands and feet. then they raised the cross into the hole whre it dropped two to three feet. he was nude, bleeding, almost unrecognizable, and was mocked by both his people and the romans. what you did not see in the movie was that all the sin of the world was brought onto Jesus and he died from the weight of that sin.

Jesus took the form and limitations of mortality upon Him when  He descended from the Heaven. On the cross, He was Jesus the Mortal Man, not Jesus, God.\n\nYour question is rather interesting. My best answer is that Jesus is a part of God. What we call 'God' is God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit of God.\n\nJesus didn't die on the cross, He simply went to Hell, as everyone else did in those times. What we call 'Death' is nothing more than leaving this life and passing into the other. We are not erased from existence. \n\nSo Jesus wasn't erased from existence, He went to Hell to defeat Satan and free the virtous, by forgiving them of the Ancestral Sin.

Heron by the Sea, I still stick to my answer below, but I appreciate your information.\n\nSchneb, I appreciate your kind words,   Bill\n\nTime of his death. \n\nThe death of Jesus Christ took place in the spring, on the Passover Day, Nisan (or Abib) 14, according to the Jewish calendar. (Mt 26:2; Joh 13:1-3; Ex 12:1-6; 13:4) That year the Passover occurred on the sixth day of the week (counted by the Jews as from sundown on Thursday to sundown on Friday). This is evident from John 19:31, which shows that the following day was “a great” sabbath. The day after Passover was always a sabbath, no matter on what day of the week it came. (Le 23:5-7) But when this special Sabbath coincided with the regular Sabbath (the seventh day of the week), it became “a great one.” So Jesus’ death took place on Friday, Nisan 14, by about 3:00 p.m.—Lu 23:44-46.

The Bible does not tell us what type of wood the cross Jesus was crucified on was made of.  Legend has it was made of dogwood.  Olive wood makes more sense.

hmm... Jesus did not die for a religion or belief... He was the belief, the way, the Hope. He died for us, then He arose out of the grave. Therefore He is not a martyr. But he gave us something to become martyrs for... I talk in circles i know :)

The cross is not an appropriate symbol for christianity. This is not in any way devaluing what happenned on the cross, it's just that Jesus didn't stay on the cross. The romans put him in a grave, but He got up!\n\nToo many people are stuck at the cross of repentance, when there is a resurrection and new life awaiting them.

Jesus died for our sins

Man, Jesus has already won. He came back from the grave-thats all we need to know. Satan will raise a little hell for now-but he is defeated at the cross.

Jesus was sent down as a Prophet of (God), but he (Jesus) is not God or Lord, nor the son of God. Jesus was never killed or was ever crucified. He was raised to heaven and is there, and will descend at the appointed time, end all wars, and bring peace to the world.
