Which one?
Jesus Son of God the Father was crucified.
Jesus son of the Father was spared.

Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

The 'truth" of the day was that Barabbas's actual name was Yeshua bar Abbas - Joshua son of the Father. Jesus's actual name was also Yeshua.
Both were arrested, tried, and convicted for sedition.

Two men. Same name. Same crime. One lived. But God died. Sure, that makes sense.

Oh, when you eat Kosher, go to Temple on Saturday, and don't mix fabrics nor eat ice cream, you let me know.

I thought it was just prohibited to have dairy and meat on the same plate?

Everything, if I got that right. Even utensils used with dairy have to be washed separately from those used for other foods and in separate basins.

Wow. I don't think that's in the Bible, though. Must be in some other Jewish texts

But ice cream should still be okay on its own. And if nothing else, there's always sorbet, which has no dairy at all (I just looked it up)

Oh my, and I've been feeling guilty to the point of neurotic about eating Matzos close to when I have choccy milk not because I am of the religion, but out of respect (yeah, I'm loony like that).
Then I recall an ex of mine who buttered up Matzos (although she was Reform, so not stict), and saw just the other day on Amazon what appeared to be chocolate milk covered Matzos but the ingredients weren't shown, so.....

I'm obviously not religious yet still am fussing about these things.

There goes the ice cream quip, which I actually borrowed from someone else on this site.

He was crucified because he claimed to be god in human flesh, which he wasn't, because that's considered blasphemous in Judaism

Are you saying Jesus was crucified for having 'truths' that did not mesh with the ruling elite of his day? It seems we agree.

"Are you saying Jesus was crucified for having 'truths' that did not mesh with the ruling elite of his day?"

No. I'm saying he claimed (falsely) to be god in human flesh. That is blasphemy in Judaism. That's probably why he was crucified.

No, Jesus was crucified for seditition (well, one of them was. Jesus Barabbas, also convicted for the same crime, was spared). The Romans couldn't care less about the God of the Judeans.

I think that's the more likely scenario. He led a small rebellion against the Romans (or at least tried to set up one Starbucks too many), and was crucified for it

The Pharisees may not have liked him, but the Romans weren't there to obey their orders and arrest and execute people for them.

Here's an interesting read:

Though I had heard that in addition to sedition, Barabbas also killed a Roman soldier, so there's that difference. Of course, who knows if that was later added...
