Christianity today went viral on Easter weekend for all the wrong reasons.
Last week, Christian Magazine I asked a provocative question: Did Jesus crucify him with his claws?
The query comes from a novel theory created by Biblical scholar Jeffrey P. Arroyo Garcia. title“The nails and knots – how did Jesus crucify?”
The theory would be: There is no explanation for the Gospel of the New Testament Explicitly Say that Jesus stuck his nails on the cross. The first description of the Roman Crucifixion also does not mention the claws, so Jesus may have been crucified with a rope. After all, being nailed to the cross does not kill the blamed person. Death comes through suffocation caused by a halt on the cross. And that passage from John’s Gospel about doubting Thomas? It was written probably in the second half of the first century after the clawed crucifixion became more common.
Holy Saturday – during Good Friday, when Jesus died, and during Easter Sunday, the day of His resurrection – Christianity posted its story today on X.
By Monday, the post had more than 2.4 million views, slapped in community notes, drawing anger from every corner of Christianity.
- “Dear CT, there is a grammatical error in paragraph 31 (“Using Roman Claws” requires possessive apostrophes). There is a historical error from paragraphs 1-43.” I said.
- “Everyone, read that, this whole piece is built on the assumption that John’s Gospel is an account created after the fact. Remember that you are *Christian* today.”
I answered. - “And Thomas said, ‘I wouldn’t believe it unless I saw the rope burning,'” Pastor Mike Stone said. ock ha ha.
- “Christianity today is frowning the writers of @thebabylonbee once more. We should really buy them to eliminate competition,” says Kyle Mann, editor-in-chief of Babylonbee. ock ha ha.
- “You can ignore the clear witnesses of today’s Christian Gospels. – Christianity today, “Theologian Colin suffocates.” ock ha ha.
- “The Greek word “nail” can mean “paste” or “push firmly.” Greek scholars suggest that Jesus simply stuck to the cross with a first-century duct tape,” says Andrew Walker, professor at the Southern Baptist seminary. ock ha ha.
Today, Christianity not only gained Christian wrath everywhere, but even atheist James Lindsay took part in this action.
“Christianity today could have avoided this embarrassment by reading their Bible,” Lindsay said. I said.
Bible scholar Ben Glad, who did not directly cite Christianity today, published an article on Good Friday explaining “Why nails matter?”
Quoting poems sal22, Isaiah 53, and Zechariah 12, beyond the realization of the textual evidence and prophecy, Glad explained that the tools Jesus had been pasted in the cross-examination issue, as Jesus shed light on the center of the gospel.
Glad I wrote it:
Cross-references to the Bible margins reveal that all of the Gospels of poem sal22222 are implied in narrating the crucifixion (Matt 27:35, 39, 41, 42, 43; Mark 15:23; Mark 15:24, 29, 31; Luke 23:34, 35, 36; John 19:23, 24). Jesus quotes verse 1 (My God, my God, why did you forsaken me?”) in Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34. It is possible that three of the four evangelists hint at verse 16, as they explain Jesus is crucified between two criminals (Mt 27:38; Luke 23:33; John 19:18). When Jesus ordered Thomas and his disciples to see his “hands” and “foots” (Luke 24:39; John 20:20, 25), he was able to incredibly hint at the poem sal 22222.
Early churches were convinced that Jesus was nailed to the cross (e.g. Justin Martier, Ignatius, Ignaeus, Tertullian, Origen), and most modern commentators (e.g. Raymond Brown, I. Howard Marshall, Craig Keener, Eckhard Schnabel). By maintaining details about Jesus’ hands and foot claws, I remember that there are people who have God’s wrath in the heart of the gospel, you and I can enjoy God’s favor.
Meanwhile, theologian Andrew Snyder thrusts a nail into his head (intentional pun).
Snyder I observed that This theory – perhaps not Jesus was crucified on the cross with a rope rather than a claw, but Jesus did not explicitly state that Jesus was nailed to the cross, so what caused the problem with the status of the scholarship is that the pressure to publish a new journal article contributes to “innovation.”
He added, “‘I want to say the truth’ is always better than ‘I want to say something new’.”
Amen.
