Aliska, re-read my post. I was responding to the statement regarding the Romans having Killed jesus. That was why I put the statement in italics ... it was a quote of a previous post.

The Romans DID kill Jesus ... but, as I added, at the instigation of the Jewish authorities. Both were the instruments God used to carry out the sacrifice. That's historical fact.

My post was making a far more important theological observation: we have no business blaming Jews, OR Romans, for the death of Jesus. WE killed him, with every sin we commit. Focusing upon who did the deed, and who turned Jesus over to whom, misdirects us away from the focus and import of the atoning sacrifice which our Lord made upon the cross for OUR sins.

In other words, issues of political correctness are entirely beside the point. indeed, this is the first time I've EVER heard orthodox Christian theology called pc.

I"m sorry I didn't read the whole thread. I'm following the latest news on the Schiavo case. I agree with 99 percent of what you said, but stand by my statement about pc. It's not pc to say anything to the effect that *some* Jews were responsible for handing Jesus over to the authorities. It's really getting un-pc to even talk about it.

That does not mean that I in any way excuse the way Jews have been treated over the centuries.

I'm mindful of the fact that the earliest/founding Christians were exclusively Jews.
