Who killed Jesus?"

It was BUSH, wasn't it?

[newgeezer]

The media elite know that if people see this film, the right answer to the haunting question "Who Killed Jesus?" will be clear.

Yeah, right! I guess ol' Chuck has a lot more faith in "the media elite" than I ever will.

[OPS4]

It was the Anti-Christ, And that my friends is the true answer.
Ops4 God Bless America!

I have heard it was suicide, he could have stopped it, chose not to for the sake of all humanity, and therefore it is argued he killed himself.

One could say the roman with the spear killed him.

Or they could say any number of other people (ie a conspiracy).

At any rate, he came here with the intent of the outcome, so perhaps the question is not who killed Jesus, but who helped him fulfill his mission?

I'm waiting for the photo of "Tourist Guy" on Calvary Hill...

I would venture to guess that this film doesn't change the world at all.......except that some investors will become more wealthy.

[JustPlainJoe]

It was a vast Right-Wing conspiracy!

We all killed Christ, every last one of us. And, you know what? He has forgiven us. So if he forgives, how can the Jews claim the guilt and branding thing. They to were forgiven now, weren't they.

[Agnes Heep]

It really isn't fair to say that any particular group "killed Jesus." It's true that certain Jews agitated for his execution, but you can't impute that to the Jews in general, any more than you can impute it to the Romans, even though Pilate probably wanted him out of the way as well.

[Dr. Frank fan]

This is such an irritating controversy.

Assuming the Bible relates facts, there is a group of N historical people, of which one could plausibly say: "those N people had a hand in killing Jesus." I don't know how many N is. Maybe N is just 2 (Pilate and Caiaphas), probably more since we'd throw in the actual executioners who hammered the nails etc, other members of the Sanhedrin who voted, etc.

So some of those people were certainly Romans, some were certain Jews, some were probably Syrians working for Romans, some (like the members of the infamous crowd) may have been Hellenized Jews, Samaritans, some kind of Asians, etc etc etc. I don't know (or care) what the percentages are. But even if 99% of them were "Jews" (or the closest historical analogue anyway), that STILL wouldn't add up to the statement "The Jews killed Jesus".

Why is it so hard to distinguish the acts of INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE from the acts of their group?

[per loin]

Some folks never learn. "It's not the crime, but the coverup".

[azhenfud]

Who killed Jesus? To set the record straight:

Matthew Ch. 27 V. 25
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Excellent! I killed Christ, or at least I helped.

[Aquinasfan]

The Bible records someone in the Jewish crowd as having said, "let his blood be upon us..." However, this doesn't mean that Jews bear collective guilt for Jesus' crucifixion. It just means that a man in the crowd said this. It's impossible for Jesus' blood to be even on this man's children, since God only holds us responsible for our own actions, not the actions of others.

[In_25_words_or_less]

And those who take Scripture seriously have always known who killed Jesus: You and I and all other sinful human beings did so.

There's a thin line between taking the blame and taking the credit for the Lamb's work of redemption.

[truthingod]

I believe the point is the reason Jesus died. He died willingly--He could have gotten down off the cross and refused to die. Yet, in a loud voice(impossible to do in crucifixion)-he gave up His last breath to finish the work God the Father had sent him to do. Back in Genesis, the mission had already been established, from before the foundation of the world, Christ had died for us. It was a physical manifestation of the spiritual order. It really is pointless to worry about who nailed Jesus to the cross.

[MosesKnows]

Who Killed Jesus?

Who asked?

[Protagoras]

During the Middle Ages, Christians treated Jews terribly.

This line is nonsense. Real Christians don't treat anyone terribly. Lots of people claim to be Christians, but aren't.

[plastic_positive]

y'all know, right, that except of the ultra-orthodox catholics, we are all going to hell? Heck, Mel Gibson has publically said that his wife (an episcopalian) is going to hell. just an interesting point, why would you voluntarily give money to someone who thinks you are going to hell?
