Re: The Corrupt and False Gospel of Satan's Witnesses

1) Jesus was crucified on a cross, not just a bare pole.
2) Believers are told to boast in the cross of Christ, not to consider 
it pagan (Galatians 6:14):
3) The NWT is the corrupt translation.


1) We know from history that Romans attached a patibulum (cross beam) to 
the staurus (pole), forming a T or t shaped "cross":

A. Plautus (c. 254–184 BC) – *Miles Gloriosus* 359–360

      "Patibulum ferat per urbem, deinde affigatur cruci" (Plautus,
       *Miles Gloriosus* 359–360).

      ("Let him carry the patibulum through the city, then be fastened
        to the cross").

This shows that the condemned carried the patibulum to the site of 
execution, consistent with Gospel accounts (John 19:17).

B. Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BC–AD 65) – *De Vita Beata* 19.3

      "Aliter patiuntur bestiarum ictus aut patibulo suffiguntur"
       (Seneca, *De Vita Beata* 19.3)

      ("They suffer blows from beasts or are fastened to the
        patibulum.")

Seneca mentions criminals being fastened to the patibulum, indicating it 
was a physical beam.

C. Justinian’s Digest (compiled AD 533)

      "Qui patibulo adfixus est" *Digest* 48.19.28 §15.

      ("He who has been affixed to the patibulum.")

This shows legal terminology acknowledging the patibulum as part of 
crucifixion.

These sources confirm that Roman crucifixion involved the patibulum, 
which the condemned carried and was affixed to, forming the traditional 
cross structure (T or †). The concept of outstretched arms (e.g., John 
21:18) assumes this form.

2) Believers should boast in the cross, not consider it pagan:

“But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the 
world.” (Galatians 6:14, ESV)

3) The NWT heresy Bible is the corrupt translation. It repeatedly 
inserts "other" into Colossians 1 to deny Jesus is God, and "a god" into 
John 1 to deny Jesus is God.

Satan's Witnesses ("Jehovah's Witnesses") deny that salvation comes 
through the cross of Christ, teaching that men are saved from eternal 
condemnation by dying physically, rather than through faith in Christ's 
death on a cross and resurrection. They deny the cross of Christ is the 
vehicle by which God provided an only and all-sufficient atonement for 
our sins.

The true gospel that saves declares that Christ died for our sins and 
rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9). Every 
alternative gospel is a lie that leads to conscious, eternal torment in 
the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:36; Revelation 14:9-11; 
Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10-15). If you refuse to believe Jesus 
is God, you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

Our offense against God was completely paid for when Christ died on the 
cross (Colossians 2:14), and God openly proved this by raising Him to 
life (Romans 1:4). Because of this sacrifice, God upholds His justice 
while granting us forgiveness (Romans 3:26) and safety from the wrath to 
come (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This rescue is a gift of pure grace for 
those who believe (Romans 6:23). Call on the Lord in faith to receive 
His salvation (Romans 10:9-13):
