Where can I get… well read the title!

Such as that Christ was indeed Crucified in a cross, and why the “stake/pole” theory is not correct…

the claims are such as
“dendron - this word means a living, growing tree.”
“xulon - this word means wood for fuel and to make things out of wood”
“stauros - meaning a stake or upright pole.”

“Mark 15: 21, 30 & 32, Luke 23:26 and John 19:19, 25 & 31 is the above-noted word “stauros” meaning an upright pole or stake. NOT a hand-made cross as we see in paintings. Had it been the hand-made cross, then the word would have been “xulon”, but it wasn’t.”

Acts 5:30 - “… whom you slew and hanged on a tree” (tree used here comes from the New Testament Greek word “stauros”)

Acts 10:39 - " And we are witnesses of all things he did … whom they slew and hanged on a tree." (stauros)

Acts 13:29 - “And when they had fulfilled all that was written of (about) him they took him down from the tree …” ( stauros)

Galatians 3:13 - “… cursed is every one that hangs (is crucified) on a tree” (stauros)

1 Peter 2:24 - "who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree … " (stauros)

Notice that none of these references used the New Testament Greek word “xulon” meaning something made from wood. In other words, NOT the man-made cross that we see in paintings.
