It also, as I stated earlier, not an obstacle to Christians using it as a reason to look at Jewish people as suspicious, which is all too often the case.

Yes, anti-Semitism exists and it's not exclusively a Christian fault - in fact there are Jews who are anti-Semitic. The other side of the coin is that there are many in this world who are anti-Christian and that includes many Jewish people.

History shows that 1st century Jewish leaders (Sanhedrin) condemned Jesus to death. If possible, they would have but could not execute Him because they had no authority under Roman rule to do so. Pilate wanted to release Jesus. Jewish leaders (Sanhedrin) convinced Pilate to crucify Jesus.

Yes, Christ's crucifixion was fulfillment of God's plan. The fact remain, the Jews and Romans were the instruments that God used to crucify Jesus. Jew and Gentile were responsible for nailing Christ to the cross.

There may be some who want to rewrite history. This is a foolish endeavor.

"Jesus answered (to Pilate), “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” - John 19:11

"“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn." - Zechariah 12:10

My admonition to every Jew: Receive Yeshua as Messiah and Savior - the One who was sacrificed (paid) for your sins.

My admonition to every Gentile: Receive Yeshua (Jesus) as Messiah and Savior (the One who was sacrificed (paid) for your sins.

You’re quoting the Bible to an atheist, as if it should matter to me.

That makes no sense, seriously.

I’ve read it.

Why is that concept so hard for people to understand?

My favorite part about the FR atheists pretending to be conservatives is that they deny the origin of The Rights of Man, and thus deny their own rights.

Entertaining watching them turn themselves into gibbering pretzels explaining their "beliefs".
