: A question was raised,did Christ die on a cross or a "pole"? someone said it was a pole not a cross.They we're told it was changed to across by pegans,to honer some pegan god.I do not read Greek or Hebrew so your help would be a real blessing. thank you, troy

If I remember correctly, the Romans who carried out the crucifixion were pagans themselves. They had used crosses many times before - why would they change their standard procedure for an execution for Christ? He was no-one special as far as they were concerned.

Sometimes, you don't need to have any Greek or Hebrew knowlege - all you need is some careful thinking.
