But this is yet another of Paul's misquotes!

Disposition of a Criminal’s Remains

Deut 21:22 If a person commits a sin punishable by death and is executed, and you hang the corpse on a tree, 21:23 his body must not remain all night on the tree; instead you must make certain you bury him that same day, for the one who is left exposed on a tree is cursed by God. You must not defile your land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.

It is clear from the above that a person is first killed and then hung on a tree (not a cross) and if left on the tree all night it is accursed.

So neither is the fictional JC accursed by crucifixion or any of the historic zealots accursed by being crucified by a foreign power.

Moreover, any zealot crucified for sedition by the Romans would not be a criminal by Israelite law as the Torah instructs against allowing any foreigner to reign over Israel and thus revolt is positively sanctioned.
