Answer 1

As Holy Scripture testifies, Jerusalem did not recognize the time of her visitation,(9) nor did the Jews in large number, accept the Gospel; indeed not a few opposed its spreading.(10) Nevertheless, God holds the Jews most dear for the sake of their Fathers; He does not repent of the gifts He makes or of the calls He issues-such is the witness of the Apostle.(11) In company with the Prophets and the same Apostle, the Church awaits that day, known to God alone, on which all peoples will address the Lord in a single voice and "serve him shoulder to shoulder" (Soph. 3:9).(12)

Since the spiritual patrimony common to Christians and Jews is thus so great, this sacred synod wants to foster and recommend that mutual understanding and respect which is the fruit, above all, of biblical and theological studies as well as of fraternal dialogues.

True, the Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ;(13) still, what happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today. Although the Church is the new people of God, the Jews should not be presented as rejected or accursed by God, as if this followed from the Holy Scriptures. All should see to it, then, that in catechetical work or in the preaching of the word of God they do not teach anything that does not conform to the truth of the Gospel and the spirit of Christ.

Furthermore, in her rejection of every persecution against any man, the Church, mindful of the patrimony she shares with the Jews and moved not by political reasons but by the Gospel's spiritual love, decries hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism, directed against Jews at any time and by anyone.

Besides, as the Church has always held and holds now, Christ underwent His passion and death freely, because of the sins of men and out of infinite love, in order that all may reach salvation. It is, therefore, the burden of the Church's preaching to proclaim the cross of Christ as the sign of God's all-embracing love and as the fountain from which every grace flows.

Answer 2

Anaxarette,
It was the Religious heirachy of that say, that instigated the Romans into crucifying Him.

Throughout the Bible, Israel had been given promises, yet unfulfilled. So we know that they are still in God's plan. They did not recognize Jesus as the messiah because of another of God's promises:
Isaiah 53:1 ¶Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

And that isn't the only one. The Jews will recognize Him in His second coming. That will not occur until at least 7 years from now, when He returns (Zechariah 14) and kills all those that have gathered against Israel to eliminate it. It will take 7 months to clean up after that war.

The world will not have ended. Christ will rule and reign for 1000 years after that. And His prayer in John 17 will come to pass.

Answer 3

Jesus was crucified yes. It was a fulfillment of the word. Literally speaking it was the Jews who killed him, but in reality it was all the sinners of the world...past and present. How can we hate the Jews. Romans 10: 12 says that " For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile, the same Lord is the Lord of all..."
I guess we would all have to hate ourselves.

Answer 4

Don't worry it's not offencive. It is actually a good question and the answer is that classical Christian theology has held the Jewish people are accused of the killing of Christ, it was only in the early 1970's that the charge of deicide (killing G-d) was removed from the Roman Catholic Code of Canon Law; which accused the Jews of killing G-d. This thinking has led to countless persecutions against Jewish communities living in Chrisitna lands. The 1492 explusion from Spain was based on this charge.

If your father killed a woman and died before trial, should you be tried in his stead? This absurd charge has no foundation in Latin or Greek legal thinking and is therefore irrational.

Yet your question denies a basic ontological concept that is central to Christian theology; that 'all' humanity is guilty of the death of messiah and through the merits of his life, death and (resurrection) those who express faith in his person as deified (G-d) are redeemed. This highlights the second breach of logic in the charge against the Jews of killing G-d, that if it was only Judaism that was guilty then only Jews could be redeemed, yet Christian thinking from Saul of Tarsus show that the converse is orthodox; that all are guilty and thus can be redeemed.

Shalom.

Answer 5

If you will read the news papers or even watch the television, you wouldn't even dare to say such. Who are the ones that are praying and helping the Jews with what is going on in Israel today? Christians could never hate Jewish people. The man that we are following Jesus Christ is a Jew. Next part of your question: The Jews did not want Jesus to rule over them, because many believed that He was only a prophet or a good man, not the Son of God. Nowadays, many Jews are believing in Jesus and are apart of the Body of Christ (Church). Jesus prophesied that He came to His own (Jews) and His own received Him not. The Jews told Pilate that they didn't want Jesus to rule over them, they wanted a thief instead. So they got what they asked for. They all shouted crucified Him, crucified Him. If you want the rest of the story, go to the book of John chapter 1, draw your own conclusion.

Answer 6

The proof really isn't really in the Bible, it is in history. Pontius Pilate was the Roman governor at the time. Jerusalem was very much under Roman control. It's true, the Jewish leaders wanted to kill Jesus, very much. But without Pilate's approval, they couldn't have done it. Therefore, to my way of thinking, Pilate is just as responsible as the Jews for the death of Jesus. And btw, for many, many centuries, Christians did blame the Jews for the death of Christ. That blame lead to the persecution of the Jews throughout Europe. I've never understood that....if Christ hadn't died, Christianity wouldn't exist. So shouldn't they be thanking them...?

Answer 7

Jewish people and Gentiles (Romans) were just instruments of God.

Isaiah 53:10. The Lord was pleased to bruise him;
God knew his son had to be sacrificed to be the sin debt.

Genesis 3:15 Serpent (satan) would bruise heel but Seed of woman (christ in the flesh) would crush head of serpent (satan)
Prophesy Isa 53: Zach 14: Psalms 22: Joel 2:

We should not blame man for what God intended all along>

Answer 8

A true Christian does not hate. We are called to forgive as we are forgiven. Also, we don't believe the Jews are ultimately responsible for the death of Jesus. He said He came as the atoning sacrifice for sin; that He laid down His life on His own. So that's why.

Answer 9

Because a Christian knows that we all killed Jesus. Roman, Jew, apostle...nobody stopped it, and therefore everyone is guilty.

Plus, if anyone was inclined to hate all Jews because some a couple of millennia ago sought to have Christ crucified by the Romans, that would be insane. That would be like me holding you accountable for something one of your 2,000-year-old ancestors did.

Answer 10

Jesus laid down His life of His own free will. If He wanted to He could have had a legion of angels come and save Him from that cross and take Him right back to Heaven, but He didn't because He loved us so much that He was willing to die for our sins. How could we hate the people that played a key role in fulfilling prophecy that assured our salvation. The Jews are God's chosen people so we better love them.
