Sekilah, Serefa, Hereg, Va Henek, are the Torah way of killing.

Can you elaborate? I don't get it..once someone is dead, why hang them?

the way of killing someone according to torah law is sekialh which means throwing someone of a cliff and then stoning them. serefa which is burning the people would light the victim on fire. hereg which i think means he would drink poison and the last one henek means you would either get choked or your neck would be slit

Hereg is a form of beheading

[OdKahaneChai]

Well, I'm not sure about the Torah - but I know the Talmud specifies several different types of execution:
Sekila - stoning
Serefah - burning
Hereg - decapitation
Chenek - strangulation

[OdKahaneChai]

The way in The Talmud is the Torah way. The Talmud is The Oral Torah.

I know that, but I thought you were talking about methods specified in the written Torah.  But, if you weren't, then I think I gave the answer, didn't I?

Actually I belive that those 4 methods are specified in the 5 Books of Moses. The Oral Law and Rabbis actually were a lot more lenient and wouldnt execute that many people (even when they were wronge), in fact if their was even 1 execution in 70 years that Sanhedrin would be concidered a killing (something similar to that tome) Sanhedrin.

Yes, Gemara Makos talks about that, and a better word would be "bloodthirsty" rather then killing, though the response to that statement is a overly lenient Sanhedrin causes murder to increase in the world

I've usually seen it translated as "murderous."  But, basically the same thing.

So is one form of execution worse then the other?Do certain forms apply to different sinful doings? Are they still carried out today?

I think you can also pour hot liquid metal down the throat yes different punishment for different transgressions.I guess beheading is theleast painfull
