Crucifixion is Corruption

Death by crucifixion was reserved for particular crimes and particular classes. Those with proper Roman citizenship were supposed to be immune from crucifixion, although they might be executed by other means. Crucifixion was commonly regarded as not only frighteningly painful but also the most shameful of deaths. Essentially, it was reserved for those who were perceived as raising their hands against Roman rule or those who in some other way seemed to challenge the social order.

"Urging people to be kind to one another, or advocating a more flexible interpretation of Jewish law, or even condemning the Temple and its leadership—none of these crimes is likely to have led to crucifixion.

The royal-messiah claim would also help explain why Jesus was executed but his followers were not. This wasn't a cell of plotters. Jesus himself was the issue. Furthermore, Pilate took some serious flak for being a bit too violent in his response to Jews and Samaritans who simply demonstrated vigorously against his policies. Pilate probably decided that publicly executing Jesus would snuff out the messianic enthusiasm of his followers without racking up more Jewish bodies than necessary. "

So Pilate decided to make his life easier by killing the Son of God instead of instead of peacefully sitting down and listening to what he had to say. Just like I keep telling people when dealing with me, take the easy way out because I don't want to be here either. And we're supposed to accept Obama's forthcoming Carteresque peace talks with Iran and Hezbollah? Why, Obama should legalize crucifixion like HAMMAS has done in Gaza if he wants enough world support to orchestrate a second term.

I defy these people who are secretly plotting, guiding these laws and orders hiding in plain sight or far from any shade of light drafting the demise of anyone they choose for any accusation they fancy. I defy them because although they may not challenge free will, nothing can prevent them from lying to those ready to be mislead. May the Lord cast judgment upon them according to His will and save the faithful from their passive, deceitful influence.


Vindicate me, God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly nation;
rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man.
