The biblical answer, with all due respect, really means nothing, to me, or anyone else. I’ll tell you why.
Even those who profess to follow the Bible have their own interpretations and use it to justify all sorts of things, as is done with any book considered holy.
There’s no way in hell anyone should be listened to who quotes scripture from any religion to justify public policy or the guilt or innocence of a person based on where they came from. I’m very confident quoting the Quran wouldn’t move you in the least.
I just reject one more holy book than you do.
The fact remains that the Jews killed Jesus argument has been used to persecute them for a long, long time, and those who do it are using the same book you are. And Hitler manipulated the population using the same religious imagery and beliefs whether he was an actual Christian or not.
This kind of crap goes on today all the time. There was just a thread yesterday about Russell Brand apparently becoming a Christian and people were happy. Trump doesn’t know the difference between the beatitudes or Betelgeuse but still is able to charm religious folks.
That was a bit of a ramble, but so be it.

I did not post scripture to persecute Jews.
You brought that up yourself.
I posted Scripture because the truth matters.
If you don’t want to know the truth, that’s your call.
