   both the cross and the pole were used. This is fact, because both are   
   mentioned in the true Holy Bible, but at differ times of use.  The Bible   
   is about many periods of time, its not just about one time only.  Time   
   depicts origin,  where did it come from?   And of course,  James knows   
   nothing, and is not a minister or a priest.  Just a concocted selfish   
   religion of his own.
