If I remember correctly, there are two graffiti and one fresco that indicate that the Romans used T-shaped and t-shaped crosses in Italy in the late first century. - Pozzuoli Graffito, which shows a person (scholars can't agree on the sex of the person) riding on a sedile with a Cornu / acuta crux a...

How can people argue that Morton Smith's alleged "homosexuality" (cough, cough) explain everything? Simple. They are homophobic, Christ-psychosis infected imbeciles and they have to account for the finding of the epistle from Clement somehow. So like good dumbkopfs, I mean credentialed New...
