Hi tiko, good question.
When people were crucified in those days, they nailed or roped 1 board horizontally to a tree which forms a cross (like an X) to the tree which is vertical. So, it is correct that it was a tree, and jesus carried the 1 horizontal board on his back and to his hands. Jesus didn't carry the entire thing with a post you dig and place in the ground, despite movies and media, but it was cumbersome as it was and torturous to carry after being beaten. Movies, media, and churches also portray the cross as neatly crafted with modern power saws, evenly cut pieces, perfectly aligned, but that's not reality. Just like Jesus wasn't purely white or black, and we don't know if he had a beard and long hair or not, or how tall or short or big he was. It's interesting how people tend to make up stuff.

WHAT I THINK ABOUT ACT 5:30, THE TREE IS REFERED TO A TOTURE STAKE. AS Acts 2:23, Acts 10:39 and galation 3:13 also shows that the tree was a stake. And the stake was like a stick pointing straight up(l) so Jesus died on a tree not a cross. Even if he did die on a cross as Exodus 20:4,5 and Jeremiah 10:3-5 shows that it is a commitment of idolatry if we crave any image of heaven like or Earth like creatures as a protection or anything that stands for God. And 1 Corinthians 6:9,10 shows that anybody who commit idolatry will be no part of God\'s kingdom.

Acts 5:30 shows that the Jesus was hung on a tree. if you look at a Greek translation, the word stavros appear. and this word meant the right to delete an upright pole or stake. encyclopedia \"The Imperial Bible-Dictionary\" confirms it. also among the Romans was the word \"crux\" (the word comes from the cross) originally has been an upright pale. The book \"The non-Cristian Cross by JD Parsons says\" there is not a single sentence in any of the writings that make up the New Testament, the Greek show, either directly or indirectly, that the stauros used in connection with Jesus , was anything but an ordinary stauros, and there is nothing to suggest that it consisted of more than a stick. Jesus was seen on a crime and criminals at the time was hung on a log, pole. and the cross was used on a symbol of the god Tammuz, as it had the same shape as the first initial of his name.

Yes. But why say tree though. Its a different word than saying a cross. He would of stated this as he was with him from the beginning. As jesus said with men it is impossible, but with god it is possible.

I think Jesus was nailed to a tree, not a cross, and he was nail in his wrist to support his body.
