I heard about Pastor Z. in the book "The Kingdom the Power and the Glory" I live in KC, so I was interested. I now say that Pastor Z. is an amazing preacher. Thanks for the videos.
The Old covenant demanded blood for sin because men were of the flesh. Gods heart was never in the old covenant. “Sacrifice and offerings you didn’t desire nor had pleasure in them which are offered according to the law, then He said, “ behold I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the old covenant and establishes the New covenant.” The covenant of God’s heart. Heb 10. 5-9
Unlikely, but not impossible. My understanding of crucifixion was that it was among one of the most awful punishments - consider that you are strapped to a cross, hung in a way that you are struggling to breathe properly, you are exposed to the elements, and every passing moment the position you are in makes your body work more against you. And that this could go on for *_days._* Because of this, this was more of a capital punishment that serves to keep the rest of the populace in line. As such, it was often reserved for revolutionaries and some of the worst criminal elements among the Roman Empire. In that time period, most women were not revolutionaries in that sense, and I don’t think children were held liable for their parents’ crimes? But the Roman Empire was very merciless and often did whatever it thought was necessary to cull the weed of rebellion. To wit, because Jesus was referred to as the King of the Jews - a declaration that would have been considered high treason - he would have had to be crucified to send the proper message.
I refer you to one of Brian's reels stating that the Romans crucified hundreds of thousands of people during their day: th-cam.com/users/shortsteCvGSmYcK8?si=X5YCg2akxoAQO4gs
This is probably 1 of the least commercialized churches selling Jesus. Pastor Zahnd's sermons are amazing! Blessed Be.

Same! Thanks to Tim Alberta!
Same here. So glad I got that book and so glad I found this channel.
We are glad you are here!
I never cease getting blown away by the cross and I thank you Brian for helping us have it in clearer focus. Wondrous.
I have peace in my soul since finding WOLC. ❤
We are so glad you are here!
All is good except that the ransom Jesus paid wasn’t to the devil but to God. It was God who demands the blood as a payment for sin.
But maybe you’re wrong…

How about women and children were they also crucified?
