For the record, Jesus was not killed for speaking the truth. Jesus was not killed by hummus eaters, he was killed by the Romans. Charlie Kirk was a great conservative but he was not Jesus and he was not a Saint either. But he was like many of us a good father, husband and a devout Christian. He was just a man, not the son of God. Comparing Kirk to Christ is the kind of BS Carlson spews these days.
Christs death was a foregone conclusion the day he was born. Pilate was known for excessive cruelty and was sanitized by the Roman Catholic Church to shift blame from the Romans. Jesus was killed by Rome because he was seen as an agitator. Did the Sanhedrin turn him in to the Romans, possibly. It could just as easily been Herod and his spies. Kirk was seen as an agitator by some, but he was not killed by the government. What is Kirk, he is this generations Bobby Kennedy, he is not Christ and cannot be compared to him in any way.
The flax is heaviest when the target presents itself. Carlson has been seen for what he is. He has presented himself as a shill and frankly is a legitimate target for his antisemitic remarks. I only watched Erika Kirk's and Trump's speech on social media because Carlson was a speaker at the ceremony. For the record, I am not Jewish but as a Christian I try to educate myself beyond what is preached. That is something the old Carlson would have encouraged.
Ultimately neither the Romans nor the Jews killed Jesus. He gave His life voluntarily as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the human race, so that those who call upon His name and come to a saving knowledge of Christ will be saved because of His sacrifice on the Cross. Jesus told Pilate in John 19:11 (ESV): “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above.” Jesus further stated in John 10:18 (ESV): “No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father.”
I for one value the Jewish tradition as highly or more than the Christian tradition. I have a Jewish soul but was born a Catholic. Jesus was born Jewish. Christianity is a kind of Judaism.
“Did the Sanhedrin turn him in to the Romans, possibly.”
“And whilst he was yet speaking, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people.” Matthew 26:47 (Douay Rheims translation)
Of for those who prefer, the King James: “And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.”
Were the “chief priests” not part of the Sanhedrin?
“”Christs death was a foregone conclusion the day he was born.””
Actually, before he was ‘born’. God sent Jesus to earth to die for the sins of mankind. To save mankind from the eternal fires that Satan lures all men to. Jesus knew his fate all along. It was already decided and planned. God chose the Jewish nation as the ‘sacrificial lamb’ from which the supreme sacrifice would spring from.
In that manner, the Jews were blessed and also damned. Blessed for those Jews that did turn to Christ and were saved... and damned for the blame that the Jews would forever receive from bigoted haters that have no knowledge, no concern and no care for the reason that Jesus chose to die for us all.
Satan hates the Jews because God chose them as the nation that Jesus was to be born from. I posit that those that also hate the Jews in this present day are just following Satan’s wishes on earth. Some of them probably know it, but others are not bright enough to discern that connection.
