What did Jesus do to get executed?

He did nothing he was sinless and blameless in every way like in Narnia The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe Aslan was blameless but sacraficed himself for Edmund except Jesuses sacrafice was much much worse he loves you and he died for you to save you from your sins. //To understand the crucifixion you must first understand how the world was in the first century. Rome controlled much of the known world. Most people live in great fear of the Roman soldiers. Pontis Pilate was assigned to the area to keep the peace and hopefully keep the locals from rebellion. But Pilate was a secondary player at best. The real trouble came from the Jewish leaders, the higher-up rabbis. According to them Jesus was a heritic, dubunking the old ways. he was causing a stir with the 'little people', the masses. So the Jewish leaders need to silience Jesus. They used their influence and power to have Him killed through the local Roman government (Pilate). By preaching the truth Jesus brought about His own death.//


What happen after the Inquisition?

After the Inquisition the sentence was carried out. Some where burnt alive at the stake, others whipped to death, others starved to death and a lucky few got away with having to always wear a mark sisignifying them as a heritic - all would loose there property and belongings.Roman Catholic AnswerThere were several different Inquisitions, covering the better part of a thousand years. For the most part they were to stop the spread of heresy. The vast majority of those actually convicted of heresy had to wear a Cross, make a pilgrimage, some actually received jail sentences, and a very few were actually turned over to the civil government for sentence. For the most part, people recanted their heresy and went on to live normal lives. The worse heretics were those judged so by the civil governments. Heresy back then was judged as treason by the civil government, and if you did something bad enough to be judged treasonous to your king, you got punished with much worse punishments, including death in a few instances.
