There is an old song that speak of the three rusty nails that were used to crucify Christ on the cross. The first verse of that hymn begins as follows:
Three Rusted Nails
Two thousand years ago you sent your son
You wanted us to understand
That who so ever would believe in him
Would be safe in his hands(Chorus)
With three rusty nails and an old dogwood tree
The sacrifice was made for you and me
We were afraid to say that he was the one
What have we done to your son
Now, those three rusty nails that were used to crucify Christ is available for sale on eBay. Anyone interested in having that treasure of antiquity can have it by paying 10,000 euros. Below is a picture of the three rusty nails. However, if you are planning the buy the authentic nails used to crucify Christ, you better hurry up, I believe there are only a few sets left.

>I dunno, Claude. They’ve been in the family for generations. Still, we had to sell off our thorns from the Crown during the Depression and it would be nice to have some again. Maybe we could work out some kind of deal.

>The professor said “However, if you are planning the buy the authentic nails used to crucify Christ, you better hurry up, I believe there are only a few sets left”.So,there are more than 3 nails in the world?? But how many times was He crucified???That is authentic BS!

>Dear Friend,Can’t you see sarcasm in what I wrote? If you believe that those nails were real or if you believe that there was more than one set of nails, then, I fear that you may not have a good understanding of biblical truth.Claude Mariottini
