Hey I meant to ping you to #47,597.

I did see it. You addressed the specific detail of the cross vs. a pole or tree. But how do you deal with this issue more generally? The Mediterranean region at the time was awash with beliefs about dying-and-resurrecting gods. What makes Jesus different from these other examples, especially when the general story lines are so similar?

His appearance to 500 people. The testimonies of some of these that survive to this day and are powerful. The astonishing number of hearts that become completely changed by the power of His ultimate atoning sacrifice thru the Ruach Ha Kodesh. (including mine).
