I'm not referring too the spiritual aspect, the Hight Preist, Sadducees and Pharisees, turned Jesus over to the Roman authorities for Blasphemy and broke all kinds of their own rules to have his trial.
What do you think the penalty was for claiming you were God...stoning on the spot, this was the Jewish custom they had picked up stones several times, but he got away!
The Jewish Hierarchy did not kill Jesus, but they surely didn't stop him from being crucified. Don't tell me you're ignorant of that?
You don't have to be anti-semitic to repeat the story.
True enough. However, knowing the "spiritual aspect" of the story and choosing to leave it out of any discussion of the story is a little disingenous, and leaves your motives (as some have noted in this thread) open to question.
The Jewish leaders along with the Romans were used by God as a tool to carry out his own perfect plan - just the same as were Pharoah and Moses.
Any further discussion then about "blame" is pointless. Christ came to earth to give himself as a sacrifice. That the Jews were "chosen" as the vehicle to help facilitate this task, is God's buisiness - wouldn't you agree?
If so, to continue harping on the fact that "the jews killed Jesus" without acknowledging "the plan", IMHO, borders on anti-semitism.
