We usually expect the annual blasphemous Easter story from a Lefty rag and not, well, a place called Christianity Today.
Yet here we are:
The Community Note reads:
The Bible explicitly refers to the nails in John’s gospel: John 20:25 Thomas 'said to them, ‘Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.’'

Whoops.

We laughed out loud at this.
This is like a Catholic Magazine saying Mary wasn’t a virgin.

Yeah it is.
This article is a study in academic flatulence.

What a great turn of phrase.
We're totally stealing that.
This just tells me the rest of your magazine is garbage

It sure does.
Have you never read the Bible?

Mark 15:24 - 39
Luke 23:33
John 20:25
Colossians 2:13-14
You know, Billy Graham is very ashamed of Christianity Today right now. You guys should just close your doors and go home.
They, apparently, have not.

Yep.
The Greek word for “nail” can also mean “to affix” or “to press firmly,” leading some Greek scholars to suggest Jesus may have simply been adhered to the cross with first-century duct tape. https://t.co/kZ0SitN9FW pic.twitter.com/qYToCw6S0O

Paging Dr. Jones.
Uh...guys...we have the nails here in Rome. I just saw one of them at Basilica Santa Croce. https://t.co/mYT4hroOlV pic.twitter.com/xzY7PxQgYB

So, yeah.
Other than that, good work, Christianity Today.
Bang up job.
