Not what it says.
You ate not telling the truth Golden Cross guy.
If you read the link, it doesn't say Jesus is punished in boiling excrement, it says Yeshu speaks of punishment with boiling excrement. The rest is interpretation. This passage has been misquoted here over 20 times and quoted correctly maybe twice, which is why I wrote the link.
Besides, it's just a bad joke, not a tenet for diehards. Christians getting upset about it are behaving just as stupidly as rich Jews behaved when Jesus made a joke about a rich Jew going to hell. Don't act like stupid rich Jews.
Upvote for unnecessary downvote. You provided good information.
I should add, the Talmud isn't a "Bible" in any sense, Judeo or Christian. In this passage it's more like Origen, a manuscript the faithful would rather were forgotten about. Origen once speculated that people confirmed in heaven for millennia might still actually go to hell afterward for awhile! But nobody takes him seriously. This is all with respect to Texe and Steven, though recognizing when they overstate things.
Jesus wasn't Joking one bit. It is utter ignorance to make such a statement neither were the jew Rabbi in their hatred for Jesus. That was their desire.. They said that and many other vile things in their Talmud series of books Stop defending the the INDEFENSIBLE That is stupidity on display.
Jesus used more punchlines per capita than any other rabbi of that century.
The one anon rabbi who wrote the dead Yeshu joke, and the couple of rabbis who decided it worthy of compilation, are not proven to be "in hatred for Jesus" any more than depicting Muhammad as a bomb proves being in hatred for him. They all knew what political cartoons were back then, like the (Roman, pre-Gemara) cartoon of Jesus on the cross as a donkey. Simple, easily understood cultural exaggeration.
To prove the vileness of the Talmud, it hurts your cause to quote these things as if black marks when they're not. Quote the incantations to demons and the rejection of the voice from heaven, and punch the real satanic enemy in the jaw, instead of lining up at the enemy's command to pinata a paper tiger.
