Zias said the question of whether Jesus was nailed to the cross or simply tied to it remains a mystery. "There is no evidence whatsoever he was nailed," he said. "The Gospels say he was crucified and leave it at that."

Really? What about the gospel of John?

John 20:25
So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."

Zias conveniently ignores the comments in the Postscript to the Gospel, the Acts of the Apostles:

Acts 2:23
This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.

LOL. With your one post in #3 you just discredited this entire article, lying professors and all.

What a joke that they can't even do a simple word search to see that he was nailed, or worse yet they did such but purposely left the info out.

Good job!

The English translation you are using of Acts reads something into the text that isn't there in the Greek--the Greek word means "to affix to a cross" but doesn't indicate whether a nail is involved or not. On the other hand, the Greek texts of John 20.25 and Colossians 2.14 do show that nails were used. See my post #129 on thread 1081493 (there is a link at post #7 of this thread).

These folks like Zias are either utter morons or deliberately not wanting to know.
