99% of Christians are largely ignorant of the history of the early Church, from the time of the Acts of the Apostles to the Fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. This was a time of enormous expansion of the Church, but the very cool part about it was that while the number of Christians exploded over the course of a few decades, the geographic expansion was very small. This meant that pretty much EVERYone knew somebody who actually knew, was taught by, and witnessed the miracles of Jesus. And the Jews, who comprised the early majority of Christians, were/are real sticklers for THE TRUTH.

This means nobody could bullsh!t about the Gospel of Christ. Posers were recognized and cast out immediately. You couldn't hide behind an internet handle in those days. You were either the real deal, or you got stoned to death. Sometimes you even got stoned to death if you WERE the real deal, so being a poser wasn't exactly a high-paying gig,


The Romans had overruling authority regarding
capitol punishment. ~ jus gladii ~.You could not
just go around stoning people to death.

The Sanhedrin held their own trial of Jesus before
bringing him before Pontius Pilate, because Rome
allowed the subjugated to run their own affairs to
a large degree.. They could have metted out a variety
of penalties to Jesus without need to bring him to
Pilate....The reason they brought JC to Pilate is that
the Sanhedrin trial had concluded that the penalty
should be Death....the catch was Jews had conceded
authority to implement Capitol Punishment to Rome.
Thus the presentation before Pilate to seek the death
penalty they themselves could not sanction.
[Sanhedrin say this themselves in scripture].
