Quote by James Dye
The gallows were used to punish criminals, for instance the pharoahs would chop off people's heads and impale their bodies on poles for birds to eat and the Bible says that one of the reasons Jesus came was so that would not happen anymore because he lifted some sort of curse.
Summary
This quote appears to highlight the historical use of violence and cruelty as methods of punishment, particularly referencing the ancient practice of impaling bodies for birds to consume. It also suggests that the Bible indicates Jesus' purpose was to eliminate such harsh punishments. The reference to lifting a curse could imply that Jesus' teachings and actions were meant to bring about a more merciful and compassionate approach to punishment, where execution methods like impaling would no longer be practiced.
