In fact there is only one difference: it took a legal order to hang someone; but to lynch someone upon a lynching tree was an act of the people - both situations involved a person being put to death with a rope around his neck. Lynching is an act of the people outside of a court system and may involve putting someone to death byother means. Back in Biblical times, as well as other times in history, this approach to capital punishment was the rule of the day. In modern times it is illegal because of our established court system.Unfortunately, it was a necessity at various points in history - whether we like to admit it or not.
