Board index Resurrection of Christ

The resurrection of Christ is the fulcrum of everything we believe, and a turning point in history, no matter what you believe. If it's real, the implications are immense. If it didn't happen, the implications are immense. Let's talk.

Yeah, but my point is that obviously by your scenario Pilate was not a slick politician but a complete arse-head who was blind to the obvious contingency that a Jewish mob would want to release a popular f***ing hero.

Imagine a similar scenario involving, say, the Nazis in Poland during WWII.

"Whom shall I release to you, o Polish mob, this slightly weird religious nut, or this really, really, really nasty resistance fighter who actually [shock horror] once disobeyed our precious and holy Nazi law?"

More like, "Shall I release to you this insurrectionist that will bring the fury of Rome on your cities, or this man who has done nothing wrong?"
