I know the tav is Holy, but Is the "cross" instrument, that they tortured people on pagan?

[NHBChristianTalk]

The cross has been used for many different reasons but in the ancient Jewish faith it represented the "taw" and had meaning of a mark, seal and covenant. The picture of the "taw" was a cross originally. Other cultures developed their own use and way to torture people and the image of the cross was seen as pagan much later. The Jewish "taw" cross predates them all. Thanks for yo

Let's see, who came first? The Romans or the Hebrew? Well if you know your history, which you sound like you don't, it was the Hebrew people. Lets see again, which came first, Latin or paleo Hebrew which has the picture of the cross as their last letter in their alphabet? Wow, paleo Hebrew again wins! Go check you ancient alphabet calendar before making comments that really make no sense.

Also a book to get is, "An Introduction to Ancient and Modern Hebrew" This will give you the complete history of the ancient Hebrew alphabet. It includes color pictures that give you the understanding of every Hebrew letter used and found in archeology.
