That’s silly Philip, there’s no contortion. It is the exact sentence that Jesus speaks.

This generation is guilty of all the blood from this point to that point.

Matthew 23: 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.

Read the sentence:

The blood of Abel to Zechariah will come upon “you” (this generation.

You are entitled to your own opinion, Philip, but the sentence says what it says. You don’t get to make up your own facts.

Did you actually read what you wrote? This is what you wrote:

>>>I think He meant what He said. He said "this generation" responsible from this point to that point. From point A to point B. That's what He said. He didn't say "from point A to point B to other future points to be named in a future draft." <<<

LOL! And now you try to explain it with this

>>>This generation is guilty of all the blood from this point to that point.<<<

>>>Matthew 23: 35 And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly I tell you, all this will come on this generation.<<<

>>>The blood of Abel to Zechariah will come upon “you” (this generation.<<<

I believe I had asked you this question?

"When Jesus said the current generation was responsible for the blood of those murdered by their fathers, you don't think He was going to let them off the hook for their own future murders, do you?"

>>>You are entitled to your own opinion, Philip, but the sentence says what it says. You don’t get to make up your own facts.<<<

You apparently have decided they are only responsible for the murders of their fathers, but not their own murders. That is the way I interpret your response. If you don't believe they were responsible for the murder of the prophets and apostles that Jesus sent them, please explain why! If you do believe they were responsible, please say so, and we can move on.

Philip
