Jesus Wasn't the Only Man to Be Crucified. Here's the History Behind This Brutal Practice.

I know that some considered Cyrus the Great to be the Messiah.
YOU know nothing ----the word "messiah" is used lots not referring
specifically to the HISTORY CHANGING "MESSIAH" noted in the poetry of Isaiah------you are very ignorant of word usage in Hebrew
Jewish people were looking for a superman like being. Jewish people conceptualized Superman. Superman cannot save the soul of anyone. Superman cannot dwell in the soul of anyone, keeping them out of Satan's prison for final judgment. People did not know the Bible as well as they should have known it. 1 Peter 3:19 - 20, KJV.
another lesson from the sunday school whore? good boy---two jelly beans for you
 
The cross was the chosen means of execution by Ronan’s. There were hundreds of people who called themselves “messiah”. All were killed for trying to get the romans out of Jerusalem. And that doesn’t include the other types of criminals.
true CRUCIFIXION in Judea meant CRIME AGAINST ROME. Romans, themselves----even if one murdered his mother in JUDEA were NOT CRUCIFIED.
The claim that Barrabas was a "thief" is absurd---unless he committed a CRIME AGAINST ROME. Read the book and pay attention to the HOLES

That is right. Barabbas was seen as a mighty man of war. A superman of sorts. That is why people wanted him, rather than Jesus.

there is no evidence at all that ANYONE saw Barabbas as a "mighty man of war" you got some citation? The record indicates that he was just another rebel against the perversity of Rome---the guys whose asses you were taught to lick
 
The crucifixion of Christ is an invention, there was no such execution as described in the Bible. Crucifixion is tearing the body into two pieces. Most likely, the motive of the crucifixion came to Christianity through the Huns, who remembered the crucifixion of Artaxerxes Bessus by the Macedonians.
The sacrificial motive there is simply far-fetched; it was apparently needed in the Eucharist to imitate Dionysian cults.
 
The most famous crucifixion in the world took place when, according to the New Testament, Jesus was put to death by the Romans. But he was far from the only person who perished on the cross.

In antiquity, thousands upon thousands of people were crucified, which at the time was considered to be one of the most brutal and shameful ways to die. In Rome, the crucifixion process was a long one, entailing scourging (more on that later) before the victim was nailed and hung from the cross.
How did this terrible death sentence begin? And what types of people were usually crucified? Here's a look at the history of this savage practice.

When they did a Roman Crucifying, they really hated your guts and wanted pain and blood

How many men have you crucified in your time?
 
Brutal lot, weren’t they?
At least it was quicker. Tying your hands and feet gave time for the Vultures to pick your eyes out.....No Thanky

I laugh at idiots that say, " The Crusades and shit."

In BC all men were brutal killers. Food and clean water weren't plentiful

War was just natures way of keeping populations in check. As natural as tit feeding
 
"Cheer up Brian !"

Heaven was in the person who said kind words to Jesus. They will never die even when the body dies. The life we have now is nothing compared to what is to come. The saved have faith, waiting for it. Faithless beings are fearful of that time. All that they value will be no more.

"Barabbas tried to have an uprising against Rome failing. People say Jesus as weak not freeing the Jews from the Romans. Who do you think the Jews will chose? The Jews chose a waring Jesus called Barras's, rather than the peacefully minded Jesus, who wants us to be like him.

The character of Barabbas​

Barabbas was a robber, murderer and rebel. He had sought to save the Jews through insurrection. In character, Barabbas represented the devil, who was a murderer from the beginning. (See John 8:44.)

In heaven Satan caused sedition and a third of the angels joined him. War broke out in heaven but Satan and his angels did not prevail and they were cast out of heaven. (See Rev 12:1-3, 7-9). He promised the heavenly beings a better kingdom free from the law of God, but Satan's way only ended up leading the angels and mankind into the bondage of sin.

In contrast, Jesus is the Prince of Peace. He does not use coercion to draw people to himself. Jesus’ love shown by His death on the cross is what draws humans unto Himself. Unlike Barabbas who was guilty, Jesus was declared just and innocent.

What can we learn from Barabbas?​

Barabbas represents all of humanity. We are all guilty of sin, and Romans 6:23 states that, “the wages of sin is death.” We cannot save ourselves or find freedom by our own works like Barabbas tried to do. Isaiah 64:4 says that, “Our own righteousness is like filthy rags.” We can only depend on Jesus to take away our sins so that we can be released from the penalty of death and find true freedom."
