Praying in the Capitol rotunda, Lauren Boebert stated that Jesus "went to hell in our place."

77. That's not correct

The Jewish hierarchy was opposed to Jesus’ teachings because he was upsetting their power structure. It was those Jews who brought Jesus before Pontious Pilate demanding he be executed.

Pilate wanted nothing to do with this affair and challenged his accusers to provide evidence of a crime worthy of capital punishment. They couldn’t but remained an angry mob so Pilate accede to their demands, washing his hands of the whole thing.

Over the millennia since, many Christians have blamed the Jews for Jesus’ death and it is the root cause of antisemitism. Throughout history, this theme has dominate parts of Christianity. The Crusades and the Final Solution are but two examples of this anti-Jewish behavior.

The Romans, who kept mostly meticulous records, didn’t think anything of Jesus. This is demonstrated by the fact that there are almost no records of Jesus’ existence in the Roman records.

Actually, the whole story of the Sanhedrins (sp?) is found in the Gospels.
