My first thought was "I wonder what the Romans in Jesus' time would have said about that?". My understanding of the Roman philosphy of the death penalty was...
Make the execution....
- as painful as possible
- as public as possible
- as humiliating as possible
There have been many details given about crucifixion, I did a quick search and found this.
The most amazing thing to me about Jesus sacrifice though is....
- He knew all along what was coming
- He knew he would be all alone, (even without God)
- He could have stopped it at any time
But he didn't.....thank God.
