Why do so many idiots call Jews Christ killers with derision and hate when God gave his son for our salvation. Without Christs death we wouldn't have sacrifice or resurrection, key elements in Christianity. Seems to me like whatever role the Jews might have played in Christs death was exactly what God wanted.

I agree that hatred against the Jews for any reason (especially this one) is absolutely rediculous. It was God's will for Christ to die. The people who put him to death were still sinning, but not all of the jews wanted him dead (he himself was a jew, incase you haven't noticed, as were all of his followers) and many romans were also involved. Anti-semitism is caused by ignorance, not by anything the Jews did.

First I take sides for your saying Christ death was GOD'S WILL, hay the folks involved had A choice, they could have just as easy picked to accept Christ, but they had decided to do what God knew He would do, but remember Christ' own Word, "NO MAN" takes my life, I have power to lay it down and power to take it up again" its true God knew what they would do but in the judgement weather your a jew or not is not the point, "IF" you love me keep my commandments" now THAT IS the point, If you would like to visit A Christ centered church in you area why not pick A Seventh Day Adventist Church, they meet on Saturday [Sabbath] also free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com God bless you

Amen!! Same goes for Judas. He is the one who betrayed. But if you think about it, what would have happened if everyone around had accepted the fact that Jesus was the son of God? Did Jesus still have to die? Man kind is weak and this was probably the only way God's salvation would have worked for us. Regardless, God had a plan to redeem us, and it paid off with the blood of Jesus. Have a nice day.

You are correct. I do not call Jews Christ killers, they were also a part of Gods plan to send His Son to died for all of out sins and for that I am truly thankful. Amen

Yes, it was necessary, but the Jews of today didn't do it. But the Jews at the time of Christ will still be held accountable for what they did (by God) because it was still their choice to do what they did. People who don't like Jews today, because of what their ancestors did are pretty stupid.

Romans 5:7 - 8
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Jesus died for us all to reconcille us to God because of Adam's sin.
verse 12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
verse 19
For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Those who call Jews 'Christ-killers' are blind to the real reason why Jesus came to Earth to die for our sins. (They are NOT true Christians). We are all guilty of putting Jesus on the cross because of our sins.
Also it is stupid to to hold the Jews reponsible for what their ancestors did.

First of all, its human nature to do horrible things and then say "its God's will".
Jesus came to teach us about a 'son-ship' ; to demonstrate that we all hold divinity within our beings and that links us all together as God's children. Jesus is not separate from any other man/human; he is not God's only son. The resurrection is a demonstration that the soul does not die and that we are far more than just physical beings.
He did not die for my sins, he lived that I might fully LIVE!
Apparently there is a whole 'nother twist to Jesus that you could learn about! How exciting for you!

God took into account the free will choices of everyone when he pre-destined the life, death, and resurrection of his son Jesus.
Everyone did exactly what they wanted to do, made the choices they wanted to make, and is responsible to God for them.

No he is a loving God, and gave them ample opportunity to accept Chirst but they didn't, they crucified him, and while dying on the cross, Jesus said forgive them, for they dont know what they are doing......
and i dont hate jews or anyone else, christians should never hate anyone..... but your not supposed to speed down the highway either......

I am not a Christian, but this makes perfect sense to me. It was predistination was it not? Jesus said forgive my enemies, or something like that.
Jesus died, moved on and everybody is happy. So whats the problem?
I agree with you and that it would be a good thing, his death, right?
