Nowhere. If one group can be blamed for Jesus' death, then Christianity is short ciruited because it would make a lie of Jesus' words that "I lay down my life willingly and can take it up again." It would also mean that Jesus didn't suffer for the worlds' sins if Jesus was merely a good teacher who was killed by a more powerful rival religious group.

Anyone who says the Gospel teaches that the Jews are to be blamed will eventually claim that Jesus was just a good teacher, not the savior. Check it out, the two beliefs go together like hand-in-glove.

I WROTE: "There should be absolutely ZERO reason to BLAME anybody!!! Isaiah 53:10 states VERY clearly: "Yet it was the LORD's will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer, and though the LORD makes His life a guilt offering..."

I ASKED: "Could someone...ANYONE...please point out exactly where that Scripture mentions that Jews are to be blamed for Jesus' death?"

DIALUP LLAMA RESPONDED: "Nowhere. If one group can be blamed for Jesus' death, then Christianity is short ciruited because it would make a lie of Jesus' words that "I lay down my life willingly and can take it up again." It would also mean that Jesus didn't suffer for the worlds' sins if Jesus was merely a good teacher who was killed by a more powerful rival religious group."

I AM RESPONDING BACK: BINGO!!!

I ADDED EARLIER: "As a Christian, I don't BLAME the Jews...I THANK the LORD!!! Jesus' death and resurrection are the BEST things that have EVER happened! And we should all be THANKFUL that God is so loving, thoughtful and full of grace that He provided a way back to Him."

DIALUP LLAMA RESPONDED: "Anyone who says the Gospel teaches that the Jews are to be blamed will eventually claim that Jesus was just a good teacher, not the savior. Check it out, the two beliefs go together like hand-in-glove."

I AM RESPONDING AGAIN: "I agree completely! See Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12---the general synopsis of "The Passion" movie. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John provide the details.
