No argument from me there. The Romans were going to crucify Him at the demands of the mob. The Jewish religious leaders were the ones accusing Jesus of heresy.
Ah, but "true Jews" back then yelled "Crucify him, crucify him"?
Of course. Who do you think the crowd was? It was Roman-occupied Jerusalem. Are you suggesting there were no Jews living in Jerusalem? That's absurd.
It appears you want it both ways, doesn't it?
No, only one way -- the Truth.
There are those who say that the Nazis were Christian. In point of fact, most were born into a Christian faith. But by their conduct they proved that they were not Christian and, in fact, diametrically opposed to Christianity, correct? The same argument could be made about the Klan. They burn crosses and demand the supremacy of "White Christians", but how many of us would say, "oh yes, they're REAL Christians." Shouldn't the same standard apply to the Jews?
I'm not sure I follow your logic here. Anyone who burns crosses to create fear or murders millions of innocent people because of their race is not a Christian. No one is saying that the Jews yelled "Crucify him, crucify him!" because they were Jews, but because they were manipulated by their religious leaders to eliminate their Messiah, who they refused to recognize as such. I don't know anyone who professes Christianity that would hold Jews responsible now. But attempting to squelch or censor a movie that is historically factual is ridiculous and hateful.

Exactly right. If a Jew yells,"Crucify him, crucify him" what makes him or her a Jew? You seem to have no trouble recognizing that if a Christian acts contrary to the teachings of Christianity, then he or she is not a Christian. But you also seem to feel that yelling, "crucify him, crucify him" IS part of the Jewish faith and thus those who yelled were Jews. Is my point any clearer?

No where in Jewish scripture is it permitted to do what this crowd is alleged to have done. If the Nazis and the Klan are not Christian (despite having been born into that faith), then how can the crowds be Jewish?
I don't know anyone who professes Christianity that would hold Jews responsible now.
I imagine there are some.

Historically factual? Not something I want to get into. But I will agree that attempting to squelch or censor the movie is moronic.
