Bible Question: Why is anyone "accursed of God" who is hung? Any significance to being hung on a tree?

Bible Answer: Greetings Mommapbs!

Basically, the "curse" simply refers to the fact that anyone who has been hung on a tree (i.e. - executed) has committed the worse kinds of captial offenses. Thus, it is an indication of their spiritual status.

A murder, or other capital offender, would by definition be someone who has violates the most serious laws of God. Thus, they were hung because they were cursed, not cursed because they were hung!
