True. The will of the majority: And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. (Luke 23:23-25)
While judgment did come due to rejection of their Messiah and persecution of His own (Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost: 1 Thessalonians 2:16) yet one of the most reiteration teachings in Scripture is that "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin." (Deuteronomy 24:16; cf. 2Ki 14:5,6; 2Ch 25:4; Jer 31:29,30; Eze 18:20)
We all are effected by choices our forefathers made, for good or bad, but we are not punished for them. And it is the devil who wanted to exterminate the Jews and thus charge God with not keeping His promise, and Hitler was one of his proxy servants (as liberals are today). That said, I suspect that overall the Jewish culture in 1930's Europe was very insular and self-righteousness while being good at controlling wealth, and which did not endear themselves to the population, making it easier to make the Jews scapegoats for Germany's problems. But they need to receive the ultimate Scapegoat of Lv. 16.
When an individual Jew receives Christ, i.e., believes on the death, the burial and the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:1-4), the cycle is broken. Those that reject Jesus Christ continue in the traditions that damn them in the first place. The Jews, as a nation, brought upon themselves a curse from God (lack of His blessings), but as individuals they have a choice to make.
He was never going to be set free for he had to endure his passion. Easy for us to see as Monday morning quarterbacks now.
I say this as a Catholic.
The In Name Only people were strongly overrepresented in that mob (like 100%). Sorry, boomer evangelicals. Truth hurts. Their hatred persists to this day, but it’s even stronger. Most of Biden’s proposed cabinet is them. Coincidental overrepresentation. Just like in the fake news media, and so many other institutions. Baaaaaaa goyim.
Weslian rhetoric, IMO
Where did you get that interpretation? I have never heard it before.
Wesley articulates a basic Christian belief.
It was a deep state that plotted to kill Jesus.
Biden is a part of Deep State. Not sure if that answers your question.
“Give us Barabbus!”: the cry of the communists.
The cry of the mob.
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)
Yet I was addressing the inference of the Jews, though not a nation, being punished with the holocaust as a result of "let His blood be on us, and on our children,” (Matthew 27:25) versus Deuteronomy 24:16; cf. 2Ki 14:5,6; 2Ch 25:4; Jer 31:29,30; Eze 18:20.
Although being subjected to punishment (the Muslims neighbors being one agent of that) and "as concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes" (Romans 11:28) and thus God showed them grace by bringing then back into part of their land, and clearly aided them in defeating Muslim onslaughts and thereby preserving their nation. Despite their own sins, as with those of the West.
My late wife was Catholic. I never worried about her and another man as we were best friends. She died at 64. Her mother has only 1 of 4 left. I don’t believe Joe is even a believer. He is a crook/thief.
Yes, he is.
Sorry for your loss. She sounds like she was a good woman.
Thanks she was the best.
First we have to realize that NO one took Jesus’s life He gave it of His own free will. Not one has the power to take His life unless He was willing to surrender it.
John 10:18
“No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”
Matt 26:53
“Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
Many have said this, but every single human from Adam to the last human to live crucified our Lord Jesus Christ whether they accept His grace or not.
No one is left out...
Acts 4:27
“For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
