Why do people like you always feel compelled to "pull the monkey off the backs" of the Jews?
Clearly, Christ, a Jew, was betrayed by a Jew, to the Jewish temple aristocracy. Clearly the Jews demanded his death. Who nailed him to the cross is only incidental here.
You should elucidate your compulsion to post things like this so we can better understand your motives.
Are you a Jew? Do you have ties to the author? Explain your motivation.
Doc - We didn't pull the monkey off their backs, CHRIST DID:
"Father, forgive them..."
Are you of the opinion that Christ's mercy was insufficient? Or do we have to wait for you to forgive them before we "pull the monkey off their backs"...?
