Well Doug, I didn't use that analogy, but.......Jesus was in violation of the law.
People then paid taxes and had a judicial system.
He was found guilty of the crime as charged.
He was metered out punishment considered to be commensurate with that crime.
We may not agree with their system of justice, the ideas of the time, or the punishment, but perhaps 2000 years from now, someone will question our acts, in this time, with this system, in the same way.
