Paul specifically SAYS "archons", which makes aa / dewitness' claim incorrect.
Some people interpret this to mean the Jews,
others (not just Doherty) interpret this to mean spiritual powers (the prince of powers of the air.)

Again, you present fallacies. I have examined over 25 versions of 1 Corinthians and none use the word Archons meaning "spiritual powers"--NONE.

Plus, there are Zero Christian writers of antiquity that support Doherty's spiritual crucifixion.
I can show you multiple writings including the Pauline Corpus that claim Jesus was killed by the Jews.
1. 1 Thessalonians 2. specifically identified the killers of Jesus as Jews. The Jews are not spiritual powers--they are considered human beings universally.
1 Thessalonians 2
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: 15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us
2. The author of Acts the Jews killed Jesus.
Acts 2.36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified , both Lord and Christ.
3. Aristides claimed the Jews killed Jesus.
Aristides' First Apology ...But he himself was pierced by the Jews, and he died and was buried...
4. Justin claimed the Jews killed Jesus.
Justin's Dialogue with Trypho Accordingly, these things have happened to you in fairness and justice, for you have slain the Just One, and His prophets before Him..
5. Hippolytus claimed the Jews Killed Jesus.
Hippolytus' Refutation Against All HeresiesBut why, O prophet, tell us, and for what reason, was the temple made desolate? ........ it was because they killed the Son of their Benefactor
6. Origen claimed the Jews killed Jesus.
Origen's Against Celsus 1..... the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple, whereas he ought to have said that the conspiracy against Jesus was the cause of these calamities befalling the people, since they put to death Christ
7. Lactantius claimed the Jews killed Jesus.
Lactantius' the death of the Persecutors .... I find it written, Jesus Christ was crucified by the Jews.
8. Chrysostom claimed the Jews killed Jesus.
Chrysostom's Homily on 1 Thessalonians They have slain Christ and the prophets, they insult God, they are the common enemies of the world...
