However, your argument is completely ludicrous. Jews did kill Christ. That is an historical fact. They wanted Him dead, and they made sure it happened.

No one is saying that ALL Jews killed Christ. No one is saying that today's Jews killed Him. But Jews did kill Him, make no mistake.

Qwinn? That's what I'm talking about.

What do you want... a literal rewriting of history?

samtheman? With the exception of the Samaritan woman, every single person in the Gospels, hero or villain, was either a Jew or a Roman. That encompasses Jesus, his family, his apostles, his followers, and the recipients of his miracles, as well as his enemies and betrayers.

I thought you were objecting to the idea that "the Jews" killed Christ, which I can certainly get behind, but now you seem to be saying that we should instead say that no Jews were involved. That would be to revise the Gospels, and I'm just not going to go there.

The mob saying "his blood be upon us and our children" does not translate into collective guilt even then, since the mob were not the whole of Israel or even of Jerusalem. They spoke for themselves. Others acted for themselves (though how much free will a human can have when God decides to exercise His, is a mystery to me). And is certainly not for US to presume to put the blood on their descendants ourselves, ever. That is utterly wrong.

And I have to say I've only heard of the one church in Denver that "The Jews Killed Jesus" outside their church. The congregation seems to have tried to save the pastor from himself by taking down that particular snippet of scripture, it was only up for about a day, and it was not an exhortation to go out and take revenge. It was just stupid.
