Quote:On (Sabbath eve and) the eve of Passover, Jesus the Nazarene was hanged and a herald went forth before him forty days heralding, "Jesus the Nazarene is going forth to be stoned because he practiced sorcery and instigated and seduced Israel to idolatry. Whoever knows anything in defense may come and state it." But since they did not find anything in his defense they hanged him on (Sabbath eve and) the eve of Passover.
If the Talmud is to be trusted, Christians have it all wrong it seems. Stoned or hanged?
Perhaps the symbol of Christianity ought to be a rock. Like rocks in the head....or perhaps a hangman's noose.
