>>>>Whatever any evil cabel of jewish leaders....might have had in mind for jesus would have had the effect of a fart in a hurricane on Pontius Pilate.

True, but supportive of my contention rather than yours.

Not. Reeling off the historical context of the Gospels demonstrates that the malice toward jews in it is intentional, not incidental, or for that matter, accurate. As is, in fact, the case, as attested by the vast majority of honest biblical scholars, both within and without the established churches, that the Gospels were written in such a manner as to placate 2nd century romans, and win converts to christianity from judaism.

Whomever they chose, made no difference to him whatsoever.

Well, of course. BUT THAT'S NOT HOW THE GOSPELS TELL IT, NOW IS IT? PP "finds no fault" in jesus. PP washes his hands of the blood of it, which is why the crowd supposedly says "His blood be upon us, and upon our children".

Hard as it is for christians to understand, it says what it says in the Gospels, not what you would prefer it said.

I for one, and I'm sure others, do understand what it says in the Gospels. We do not therefore hate Jews, as you would like to say.

Yes, it does say PP was reluctant and washed his hands and that the crowd cried out for Jesus to be the one to die.

You wish to put a period there, and draw conclusions that you project on others.

It's really sad, combining your baseless assertions with your hostility.

Peace be with you.
