Well, the subject we were discussing was the Second Coming of Christ.
Are you saying that this information about executions is somehow
relevant?

Only insofar as it disproves your claim that no man knoweth the hour.

Note: When I wrote "Christianity, Catholicism" in my previous post I was
referring to Christianity as a whole but more so with Catholicism since that
they have more rules to follow and seem to have to be more rigid than the
Bible explicitly states. I could be wrong though.

No, I think you'll find "we" said it was a book, and not what anyone
would call evidence.

And we said so what? What does that have to do with the other bits
you're claiming are true.
