The "Old Rugged Cross" Gospel (O Evangelho da "Velha e Rude Cruz")

Crucificação foi um método de execução utilizado na Antiguidade e comum tanto em Roma quanto em Cartago. Consistia em torturar o condenado e obrigá-lo a levar até o local do suplício a barra horizontal da cruz, onde já se encontrava a parte vertical cravada no chão. De braços abertos, o condenado era pregado na madeira pelos pulsos e pelos pés e morria, depois de horas de exaustão, por asfixia e paragem cardíaca. Neste ato combinavam-se os elementos de vergonha e tortura. O castigo da crucificação começava com flagelação, depois do criminoso ter sido despojado de suas vestes. O processo do açoitamento ser tão forte que às vezes o flagelado morria em consequência da violência.O flagelo era cometido ao réu estando este preso a uma coluna.

and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:38
Crucifixion was a method of execution used in antiquity and common in both Rome and Carthage. Was to torture the condemned and force him to take up the place of execution the horizontal bar of the cross, which was already the vertical part stuck in the ground. With open arms, the condemned was nailed to the wood by the wrists and feet and died, after hours of exhaustion, by asphyxiation and cardiac arrest. In this act, combined the elements of shame and torture. The punishment of crucifixion began with scourging, after the offender has been stripped of his garments. In Case soldiers fixed their nails, pieces of bone, and the like, may torture the scourging be so strong that sometimes plagued died as a result of the scourge violência. All punishment was committed to this defendant being bound to a column. Sunday, 6th, 2pm EST\1pm CST\12 pm MST\11 am PST - USA
