you will not waste any more of my time with your artful dodging.
better to be a 'bad christian' than some taunting internet trolltard.
i think jesus would forgive me first. later champ.
you did not present fact. you just parroted the notion that your own interpretation of circumstances reflects the legal charge for which jesus was crucified.
other than that you've managed to completely dodge the rebuttal and once again have successfully wasted my time.
congratulations...
ok so you're just going to ignore the crux of my argument. i mean, you posted scripture
that you call 'proof' that you're right (and it proves nothing), i posted scripture which i felt
contradicted it along with roman law regarding capital punishment...and you just ignored
completely. i...
that was not the death sentence. read forward:
he's pretty much telling jesus at this point that all he has to do is say "i'm not King of the Jews" and the charge is forfeit. this is the only violation which concerns him because it is a high crime before rome...

"ius gladii" was not granted by default to local governments.
very few local rulers were granted that power, but not the jews.
*edit* or else why must the clerics demand jesus' death from pilate?
if they had the right of the...
i was only being a smartass because you basically rebutted by accusing me of being an ignoramus blowing hot air. take a hostile approach in discussion and expect the same in return. respond in a civil manner and you'll likely not find yourself so worked up
anyway, i did post in your thread...
the reason jesus was crucified was blasphemy.
the official charge before the state however is another matter.
to blaspheme judaism was not a violation of roman law. to avoid causing a
piss-storm with a generally antisemetic-yet-tolerant state, jesus' declaration
that he was "king of the...
it would have been an embarrassing and insulting affront on the roman empire to enforce jewish scripture in any way.
the charge related to jesus claiming himself 'king of the jews', jews who were governed by rome. therefore it could be
translated to high treason. that was the charge. declaring...
it wasnt as scary for me since i heard of it before. so as freaked out as i was, i knew what was happening. must be terrifying if you've had no knowledge of it
