Perhaps these so-called "scholars" should learn to read before they try to teach us about anything;

So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he 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 it." (Whole Chapter: John 20 In context: John 20:24-26)

Acts 2:23 This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men,[ 2:23 Or of those not having the law (that is, Gentiles)] put him to death by nailing him to the cross. (Whole Chapter: Acts 2 In context: Acts 2:22-24)

Colossians 2:14 having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. (Whole Chapter: Colossians 2 In context: Colossians 2:13-15)

John 20.25 uses the Greek word for nail.

The Greek word used in Acts 2.23 means "to affix to the cross" or "to crucify" but doesn't show whether a nail is involved. On the other hand, the verb used in Colossians 2.14 (proselosas) does mean "to nail to," implying the presence of a nail (helos).
