Nice. Change history at a whim. Pathetic.

Dagar:

Ditto what Harmless Teddy Bear and Stultis said.

Even IF all Jews of 2,000 years ago were, somehow, responsible for the death that we are talking about, I want you to answer a few questions:

1) How does that make ANY of today's Jews responsible?

2) If the answer to #1 is that it doesn't, why are you so exercised about pinning the responsibility on the Jews of 2,000 years ago?

3) How could there even be a religion of Christianity if this death didn't occur?

4) If this death was THE critically needed element in the creation of the religion of Christianity, and "the Jews" are responsible, shouldn't you be thanking the Jews?

I ask these questions not to belittle your beliefs or those of others, but merely to see what (if any) logic you are following.

I agree, and am happy too that so much of Christianity now realizes, and nurtures its Jewish heritage, which wasn't always historically the case.

While it is true that the those who killed Jesus were Jews, we must never let that be an excuse to be anti-Jewish.

It just so happens that many Jewish men who supported Him went to their own cross.

The cross should never be an us-against-them thing. While it is true that the cross by its very nature brings division in a physical sense, the real challenge is to rise above it and act by the Spirit of God.

So, while it is true tha Jesus was killed by Jews, He was also killed by my sin. I am not a Jew, but am a gentile, or Goy, as a Jew might refer to me.

One of the best ways to help Jews accept Jesus as the messiah is to have real dialoge with them. We must refrain from blaming them of the sins of their fathers.

In the New Testament writings we hear mention of the fruit of the Spirit. Being right is not a fruit, but being kind is. I am not suggesting that anyone change the words of the bible, or water them down. In fact, I hope the text of the movie comes directly from the scriptures. What I do hope is that my Christian brothers stop slamming Jewish people for what their fathers did. Any of us could have drove those nails.

We need to simply tell them the truth about who Jesus is, and love them. How hard is that?
