Just one correction. The Messiah GAVE HIS life, the Jews and Romans were only the instruments to fulfill prophecy.
Most Jews in America cut their own throats when they vote for anti-Semites such as Obama and Hillary Rotten. They are blind to the contempt that many Democrats feel toward them. Bob
I beg to differ... While the Jews of Jerusalem may have pushed the issue and got him crucified - WE: You, me, and the rest of this sinful world put Jesus on the Cross.
A great hoax has been foisted upon us. The Bible makes it very clear who the Israel of God is and it is not those who hate Jesus Christ. The children of promise are NOT the physical descendants of Abraham.
For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall they seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. (Romans 9:6b-8)
Many will not accept this, but this is what the scriptures say. True Israel are those who are born of the Spirit, not the flesh. True Israel has always been those who believe in God. And when God was manifest in the flesh (see 1 Timothy 3:16), one cannot believe in God and deny God (Jesus Christ). Those who believed God then, readily received Jesus Christ.
I believe it borders on blasphemy to call this group "Jews", when they are not. (see Revelation 2:9 and 3:9).
We all killed Christ. The Jewish crowd yelled out, “Crucify Him,” and the gentile roman soldiers nailed Him to the cross. We are all sinners, we all put Him to death, and He freely died for all of us.
