Why do most people believe ' jews ' killed Jesus Christ ?

Question

Read the bible again, it is not their fault, everyone blames ' jews' for the death of Jesus.
Jesus was murdered by the Romans, which at that time ruled over Canaan ( Israel ) ...

You're probably going to say ' it's their fault, they chose a murderer to be freed from the prison instead of Jesus', hey so what? Was it their resposibility to save Jesus?

Especialy back then, if people said they are " The Saviour and the Son of God ', someone would have killed that person.

So many people have claimed and still claimed today to be ' A saviour or the Son of God ' ...


Come on, I would go like ' this idiot is a complete nutcase !!', if someone said ' I am the SAVIOUR , God has sent me to cure you all and perform miracles.


As if ...


No, I did not intend to hurt anyone while asking this question.
No, do not write crap and answer in a rude manner.



Thanks everyone :] !

Answer 1

Your rant is flawed in so many ways, it will be easy to shoot it full of holes.

First, most people don't beieve the Jews killed Christ. If you consider the entire population of the world, only a small percentage believe that the Jews killed Christ. The Jews certainly don't, as well as some Crristians. Of the remaining peoples and their religions, many don't know of Christ, and of those that do, many have no opinion or just don't care.

So your statement would be more correct if it stated that "some, probably a minority,believe Jews killed Christ."

When the Romans occupied a country, the first thing the governor did was to declare martial law and suspend all laws enacted by the occupied government. This excluded most religious laws, as the Romans loosely tolerated local religious customs, but di include the law to put a person to death.

Jesus was disturbing the status quo with respect to religious laws. The people liked Jesus, and many considered him to be the Messiah. The Sanhedrin saw this and feared for their power and authority. When Christ stormed the temple and drove out the money changers, it was too much for the Sanhedrin, partially because their revenue was exacted from the money changers, and partially because they saw Christ as an unstoppable threat.

So what to do? The Sanhedrin had no power to dictate a death sentence, and so they ultimately complained to the Roman governor. Pilate ultimately, to prevent an uprising, condemned Christ to the cross, but he first gave the Sanhedrin the choice to release Christ or Barabbas. For the Sanhedrin this was no choice at all. They wanted Christ out of the way, permanently, and so they chose Barabbas.

Did the Jews kill Christ? My answer is no, . Only a very small body within the Jewish population, the Sanhedrin was responsible. It may have been the Romans who carried out the sentence, but it was the Sanhedrin that was responsible.

Do I blame the Jews? No, I do not, nor do I suspect, any rational thinking person would.

Answer 2

The Romans in fact executed jesus for the crime of insurrection. In the view of Roman Law, what Jesus did and said was Treason against the Emperor. The New Testament writers "leaned" toward putting the blame on the Jews to suck up to the Romans and try to make it look like, although Jesus was executed under Roman Law, the Romans really didn't have a choice since those Jews put them up to it. A close examination of the New Testament stories show differences in the different gosples telling the same story. Those differences show the way that the different early Christian communities felt about the Romans, the Jews, and the other competing christian groups. Later, when the Romanized Christian Catholic Church became the "Official" religion of the empire, the focus was directed more towards the Jews since they were always rebelling and fighting against Roman rule. Jews were blamed for everything during the Middle Ages from the death of Jesus to crop failures, plauge, bad weather and hemmeroids.

The fact is the Jews had nothing to do with the Roman execution of Jesus, none of those scenes showing Pilate washing his hands, the Jews screaming crucify him or any of the other stories connected with the death of Jesus happened. Pilate wouldn't bother with such a petty matter as executing a Jew for treason, he'd have one of his minons take care of it with just an order, "Oh you arrested this fellow for claiming to be some kind of king? Crucify him." There never was a tradition of letting a prisoner go during Passover, The Sanhedrin didn't have the authority to have soemone arrested for treason and they couldn't meet in the middle of the night on passover. In other words its all BS just to make it look like the Romans weren't really responsible.

Answer 3

Not everyone does say the Jews killed Jesus thats one of the reasons so many people were offened at the implecations in Mel Gibsons movie that they did.
It has been the official position of the Roman Catholic Church since 1967 or so that the Jews did not kill Jesus and the saying so it wrong. A little late but better than nothing.
It's nothing to me anymore, I don't go to church but just putting this down for the record.

Answer 4

While it is true that Rome did the actual deed, it was the Jews that wanted Him dead and the temple rulers that urged it all on so technically the Jews were not totally innocent. At the same time are we really innocent? By sinning we are putting those nails in His hands and feet too but nobody really wants to talk about that. They could none of them have done it if He had not wanted it done and given the the permission to do it to Him. He had the power to call then thousand angels to take Him down and go back to Heaven but chose to die for us. We all are the cause, not just the Jews and not just the Romans.

Answer 5

Jewish people were in the mob that talked Pilate (a Roman) into crucifying Jesus. They didn't believe He was the Son of God.

The mob called down a curse on themselves, but no curses in the Bible last more than three or four generations. They and their children lived through the final razing of the Temple in 70 AD, and that should have been enough to satisfy the curse.

People who blame either the Jewish mob or the Roman executioners are convicted of their own sin, because it was the sins of humanity (that means US) that put Jesus on that cross.

Answer 6

It's not the Jews who killed Jesus. It's the high-court, or the Sanhedrin (it includes high priests, Pharisees and Sadducees) that told the Roman emperor at the time to kill Jesus. They refused to accept Jesus as the Messiah even though he performed many signs. They even admited that he performed many signs in John 11:47 "Consequently the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the San´he·drin together and began to say: “What are we to do, because this man performs many signs? 48 If we let him alone this way, they will all put faith in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

They admited that Jesus performed many signs but they were only concerned about their own position and authoirty (shown in verse 48).

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

Because they did kill him. No offense to Jews. They are the ones who turned him into the Romans and P. Pilot. Then they condemend him further by choosing the prisoner.

"You're probably going to say ' it's their fault, they chose a murderer to be freed from the prison instead of Jesus', hey so what? Was it their resposibility to save Jesus?"

You just said it rite there. Was it the romans responsibilty to kill him?

Answer 8

both the Romans and the Jews were answerable for crucifying Jesus. The Roman authorities were basically as accountable. So no, the Jews are literally not the actual enemy. additionally they purely characterize sinners usually. They were the custom of that day and time. the point became that sinners rejected Jesus Christ, no matter if or not they be Jews or Romans or the different team. we may have performed a similar element! we do not have any properly to guage. notwithstanding, in case you extremely believed in and loved Jesus Christ, you would not be terrorists. coach it by technique of your habit.

Answer 9

Just to enlighten you it was the religious leaders of the time that planned and executed the death of Jesus. He was handed over to the Roman government who in turn handed him back as he broke no Roman law. The common people were the ones who followed their teacher but could not save him for fear of being put to death as well. The leaders of the churches of the time were the ones calling for his death NOT the people. The whole story is in the bible.

Answer 10

A) It was the Sanhedrin (the Jewish body of judges and ultimate authority over Jewry) who wanted Jesus dead.

B) Pontius Pilate did NOT want to kill Him, but he succumbed to the Sanhedrin leaders' blackmail and ordered the crucifixion carried out.

C) Many Jews decried this. Most of them became Christians. The Sanhedrin went with rabbi Gamaliel on this when he opined that it was better for one Jew to die than for Rome to massacre all the Jews they could nail down....or rather up, on crosses.

Sorry, luv, but certain Jews DID kill Christ in the only way they could: they suckered the Romans into doing their dirty work for them. Shame on both groups!
