That is so wrong on so many counts that I will not even bother to set things straight unless you copy and paste the selection on this forum for dissection.

Yeah, I agree… especially this account

“But Herod was disturbed: John was hitting home with his sermons, and Herod knew that what he was doing was wrong.”

I highly doubt “Herod knew that what he was doing was wrong”, he was more likely afraid that John’s preachings would have caused a jewish rebellion, since all different jewish sects listened to him.

Antipas probably was very sad to have to kill John. He talked to him while John was imprisoned at Macherus.

And Antipas was a superstitious man. To execute a holy man had to be very bad karma.
