I never really thought much of it... I mean, the cross is made of wood from a tree, and he hung on it.

But I guess that's what everyone else has been saying. The bible has a lot of contradictions and wierd things in it, but I dont think this is one of them.

Its like if I made a thread saying "In the bible, it says jesus was a man... BUT! The bible also refers to jesus as a lamb. So is jesus a lamb, or a man?"

Some things you pick at, but other things you just kind of have to go "oh yeah" and give it a bit of leeway because of language barriers and other references etc.
