A Jewish Orthodox scholar is proposing an Old Testament ceremony, the redemption of the firstborn, to return Jesus of Nazareth to the Jewish fold and then hold a retrial at which he could be acquitted.
The first trial, two millennia ago, resulted in Jesus condemnation by the high priests for blasphemy, his crucifixion by the Roman conquerors and his resurrection through which Christians worldwide believe they can receive salvation and life eternal.
The Jewish authorities, however, have been libeled ever since as Christ-killers and more.
One scholar, Ariel Cohen Alloro, while not an official rabbi, is a student of one of todays great rabbis and a longtime student of Judaism and Christianity. He is proposing the traditional Pidyon haBen ceremony the Redeeming of the Firstborn Son to welcome Jesus, known to the Jews as Yeshua, back to his Jewish family and remove all the old taboos and restrictions related to his name from the Jewish Orthodox standpoint.
He said the next step should be to open a public retrial on behalf of Yeshua in the presence of 10 most important rabbis in Israel, meant to fix the initial rigged trial that took place 2,000 years ago and to clarify in front of the whole world all the aspects and issues related to this delicate subject.

You made the accusation, honey, YOU prove it!
“Though the Jewish religious leaders were the main accusers of Jesus and demanded his execution”
That happens to be the truth and it’s not “anti-Semitic” to say the truth about something. Sorry if it offends you to hear it. But why stop at only part of my comment? Did you read what I said or just the parts that you can falsely accuse me for?
I would never say “Jews are anti-Christian” because that would be untrue.
This is going to take another two hundred years at least.
Though the Jewish religious leaders were the main accusers of Jesus and demanded his execution
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Weren’t some people tortured and killed as a result of this ‘teaching?’ Maybe I’m misremembering.
Oh well, back to my study of Matthew.
It really is an unescapable fact that Jesus' main accusers WERE the Jewish religious leaders and they DID demand his execution as these passages attest. Have people in the past used these facts to persecute and murder Jewish people? Yes, they have and it is horrible and shameful - no Christian should have ever been involved in such crimes. Jesus nor his disciples ever condoned such actions and would have condemned such. And, like I said in my post - which was selectively quoted - Jesus willingly gave up his life to be our Kinsman Redeemer. He said he freely laid down his life for the sins of the world and ALL mankind has a part in WHY Jesus died.
I really don't get it why a few people here have such chips on their shoulders and are so vindictive and hateful towards Christians - as if ANY of us had a part in the persecution of Jews in the Holocaust. Genuine Christians love others and seek only to share the truth of the gospel with respect and humility - as much as possible. Isn't there enough animosity in the world that Freepers don't have to foment it with each other?
How well can you read Aramaic?
