Brutality Ignored?
Well ---it is watered down for sure ---even the nails are watered down as many preach His hands and feet were tied to the Cross not nailed to the Cross -------False doctrine ----being preached with tied ----
I personally don't know if it is just ignored or if a lot what happened to Jesus is from ignorance of lack of knowledge from the scripture -----Isaiah 52 ----describes the Suffering Servant ------ so it is told in the Old Testament ---Not the New Testament -------and many don't believe that Isaiah 52 is speaking of Jesus ----they believe it is speaking of the Jewish Nation -----
The Scripture tell the truth and it says nails ------
Strong's Concordance
hélos: a nail
Spike -- nail.
John 20:25 ESV
So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them,
“Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

Also --I personally think ---
That many do not know just how unrecognisable Jesus face was as a man -----
Isaiah 52:14 ERV
14 It is true that
many were shocked when they saw him. He was beaten so badly that he no longer looked like a man.
Also--I believe many do not know or understand just how devastating the Flogging Jesus took was on His back ------so again ignorance of not understanding fully just how brutal this was -------and no movie ever depicted the true picture of what Jesus experienced ---except the Passion of the Christ ---by Mel Gibson and many left the theater when the flogging scene started ----- when I went to see it -----
The Flogging the Romans used was so brutal it would rip the Skin completely off the back of people -----not many would survive it ----
you can read for yourselves just how bad it was -------

Scourging Practices

I say
Also all that was accomplished by Jesus shedding His Blood is never talked about -----which is the sad part for me -------people have no idea that every where Jesus shed His Precious Blood it purchased something back that Satan took from us in the Garden ------this is so important to get -----in my view

significance/significance/Here is the 7 places that Jesus shed His Blood for us and its significance in the area we have victory over and complete freedom from enemy.
1) The Sweating of Blood (In the garden of Gethsemane)
Luke 22:40-44 NKJV- When He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
This signifies that Jesus Won Back Our Willpower to resist temptation because He overcame the greatest temptation that was so intense, it caused Him to sweat blood.
2) The stripes on Jesus back and shedding of blood at the whipping post.
John 19:1 So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed.
This signifies that Jesus has won back our Health. His body was broken so ours could be made whole.
3) He was bruised and suffered Internal bleeding from being beaten.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:
This signifies that Jesus won back our right standing with God & delivered us from our iniquities (Wickedness/Sin)
4) The shedding of blood when receiving the Crown of Thorns upon his head.
John 19:2 And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe.
This signifies that Jesus has won back our Peace of mind and that we are free of torment. The enemy can no longer torment our minds.
5) The blood that was shed through Jesus’ Pierced Hands.
Matt 27:35 Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.” (It was custom in those days to crucify people by nailing their hands & feet to the cross).
This signifies that Jesus won back our prosperity so that everything we put our hands to, shall prosper.
6) The blood that was shed through Jesus’ Pierced Feet.
Matt 27:35
This signifies that Jesus won back our dominion & authority
Gen 1:26 says “Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Luke 10:19 says “Behold, I give to you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the authority of the enemy. And nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
7) The blood that was shed through the spear in Jesus side.
John 19:34 “But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.” The fact that blood & water flowed from his side symbolises that Jesus died from a broken heart, the intensity and anguish of the weight and burden of all of our sins that He took on Himself and our continual betrayal against Him was to much to bear & ultimately caused His Heart to stop beating.
This signifies that Jesus won back our Joy and healed us of our broken Hearts
