Some say otherwise.

Two wrists= 2 and his legs crossed = 1

Where the fourth one go?

We only have archaeological evidence of once crucifixion in ancient Roman Judea, that of a man named Yehohanan. His ankle bone is all that survives and it shows a nail was driven through it, but whether it was one nail driven through both ankles, or one nail each and each ankle on the side of the Stake has been debated. The latter view is more commonly accepted since the bones were revisited in 1985 and the conclusion was that the nail used was not long enough to pierce both ankles, and a beam of wood.

So if Christ was crucified like Yehohanan, it probably would have involved 4 nails. But if a longer nail were used, it may have involved 3. Even so, historical writings imply that there was no standard practice of Crucifixion - Josephus references a multitude of methods used during the Jewish rebellion, Tertullius refers to trees being used, Seneca refers to many kinds of crosses being used when he witnessed executions, and Plutarch mentions the familiar image of the condemned carrying a crossbeam to an upright stake. Yehohanan's death tells us that traditional Eastern depictions of 4 nails being used have a basis in archaeology, but since Christ's body did not remain for excavation and the scriptures provide very few details, that is the most that can be said.

The Accuser said:

What version of Bible you study?

What then did he die for if not our sins and our salvation?

mader said:

About the salvation I agree but he does not died because of our sins

The Accuser said:

What's salvation and what's the essence of salvation if not to redeem us from our sinful ways?

Jesus died for our sin.

No.

P.S. Lets stop here @The Accuser as we are on our way to be banned.
P.S.S. But just you know - you are not right, read the Bible by yourself does not listen to what Church elite tells you.
