I think we're saying the same thing. It's as stupid to blame the Jews of today as it is to blame me for slavery. And that's the point I was trying to make. I do not feel the least bit guilty about slavery no matter what Jesse Jackson says. And if I was Jew I wouldn't feel guilty about the crucifiction no matter what the KKK says.

You point out that not all the Jews were present that day. I agree. However, from the reading of the scriptures it certainly "implies" that all the Jewish leaders were present. Mel Gibson simply made a movie based on the facts he believes, as do all true Christians, to be true. I would fault him if he changed it claiming "creative license". We have history books telling the story of Washington at Valley Forge. If one was to make a movie one would have to rely on the facts one believes to be true. Mel did the same thing. It's obvious people are going to disagree. As you've seen what I've posted I don't blame Pilot or do I blame Judas. Many Christians will argue that point with me. Personally, I thank God for Pilot and Judas. If they had not done God's will He might have had to postpone everything until he could have found some new players.

People need to lighten up about this. If they don't like the movie don't buy a ticket.

I don't know about that. Which chapter/verse "implies" this? What was a "Jewish leader", you mean Sanhedrin members? Okay, but why would they show up to this spectacle? They had already remanded him to the Romans and it was clear what his fate would be.

Not that any of this matters to anything.
