Crucifixion was FAR from the only mode of execution used by the Romans.  They actually had quite a few ways to put people to death.  Aside from crucifixion, being burned alive or being exposed to savage beasts were two "low class" methods.  At the upper end of the scale can be found decapitation, poison, and strangulation.  I bet there were others, too. source

Possibly, but you asked why Crucifixition and not something more presigious, well none of those methods seem presitigious, but crucifixtion sounds the best when you're talking about someone dying for the sins of others

Why do you say that?  Are you sure it doesn't seem that way simply because of all the stuff Christians have built up around it?  That would probably have happened with whatever way he was killed.

 

 Nah, as Crucifixtion sounds the slowest of the ones you mentioned

 

Hmm. I guess I should yell at the all the scholars' books I read when studing Old and New Testament history..Because they all said things counter to your arguments.

 

I'm also going by scholar arguments, perhaps this proves that thier is no certainty in the questions of christ, and that there is much disagreement
