“Uummmmm. What does this person think exactly how crucifixion was carried out?”
Did you not read the article? If Jesus was nailed, why were the thieves hung? The Bible says they were all crucified, but then it says the thieves were hung.

No problem there for me. I'm a carpenter and I often, to hang something on a wall, hang it there and then put nails in it. That argument is not even worth talking about. It is using semantics to make an argument.

Let me give you a very, very brief overview.

Christ was crucified under Roman law, not Jewish law.

Not all who were crucified were nailed (nails were rather expensive). Many were tied with rope to crosses.

The worst ..or most visible/high profile.. ‘offenders’ were usually crucified by being nailed to the cross vs. tied.

You didn’t get any more high-profile than Jesus.

There’s far, far more than that......but for starters......
