Answer 1

Your first question is understandable (and neutral), but your second question seems to betray a fixed belief or value - is that right?

The supposition that Jesus died for anyone's sins is not necessarily a universal belief.

My advice to anyone wanting to find the truth of Jesus, and his historical, religious and spiritual reality or perspective, is to keep an open mind.

That some 'Christians' blame the Jews for Jesus's death is surely understandable, but maybe they should ask themselves what Jesus - himself a Jew - might have said? Did he not ask God why he had forsaken him? He asked this question as a Jew, to his Jewish God, didn't he?

Please remember that Jesus lived and died as a Jew, and would have had no concept of Christianity himself.

Christianity for all its benefits and disadvantages was something created after Jesus's death, and there is no proof that he would or would not have approved of what has been created in his name!

Have your faith, but always keep an open mind. A belief is always just a belief. but there are many - equally valid - paths to the truth!

Answer 2

That is one of the things I've never been able to figure out, how some people could think like that. Jesus was Jewish, himself, so it's a matter among the Jews, themselves.

In other word, they think of Jesus as a Christian, non-Jew that was killed by Jews, but that's completely false and a person who thinks that way probably has a proclivity, or a prejudice against Jews in the first place and their minds delivers them the Jesus killing thing as an excuse.

Again, Jesus was Jewish, himself.

Answer 3

That statement is too general. In Asia, no body bother about blaming the Jews.

Have u heard of Dispensational Theology? That group of Christian embrace the Jews.

So pal, you have got your idea wrong. Not all hate Jews. Some hate, some love, and still some, they just don't bother.

I am an Asian Christian, and I don't bother about Jews. Just respect them for been a good businessman.

Answer 4

Generalities. Not all Christians blame Jews. That has not been done for a long time. Of course the Jews ask for Barabbas rather then Jesus. Jesus was not doing what was expected. So Jews get the blame. Oh, that's right, Judas was Jew.

Answer 5

I´m not sure that real Christians blame Jews for Jesus´ death.We
know that this belongs to God´s plans to save those who repent
and get forgiveness and redemption.
The crucifying was a Roman way of execution.And Jesus was
sentenced by Pontius Pilatus,who was the Roman gouvernor in
those days.

Answer 6

Because that's the propaganda put forth by the Romans at the Council of Nicea. The Romans killed Yeshua Ben Joseph because he attempted to take his rightful position as King of Judea but they wrote the bible as you know it now and they were not about to write anything bad about themselves. Remember that Crucifixion was a ROMAN punishment for treasonous activities against ROMAN RULE. Did you forget that Yeshua was of the House of David? That's Judean Royalty. He was a Prince, not a carpenter. Back then carpenter didn't mean someone who worked with wood. it meant a learned person. The Barabbas who was released was Yeshua Ben Joseph's religious counterpart, Yeshua Bar Abbas and probably the person you now know as James the Just, Yeshua Ben Joseph's BROTHER!

Answer 7

thats what humans do, always blaming one another. your right He did die for our sins and he predicated His own death Matthew 20:17Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, 18"We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death 19and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!".

Answer 8

thanks for including the qualifier "some." The account of Jesus' crucifixtion obviously states that it changed into his personal disciple, Judas, who betrayed him into the fingers of the Jewish non secular leaders. They then took him first to Annas the better 1/2's father of Caiaphas, the Jewish severe priest. Jesus changed into puzzled by making use of Annas and then despatched to Caiaphas. From there he changed into taken to the palace of the Roman governor, Pilate. Pilate got here out to speak with them and requested what expenditures they delivered hostile to Jesus. The Jewish leaders stated Jesus turned right into a criminal, and Pilate stated fairly a lot: deal with it yourselves. In different words, he did not supply a hoot. The Jews were no longer allowed to execute criminals - it truly is why they got here to Pilate and that is how they spoke back him. So Jesus changed into puzzled by making use of Pilate and the governor ought to work out no reason to kill him. The custom of the day changed into to launch one Jewish prisoner on the Passover. Pilate requested which they could have released: Jesus or Barabbas (a guy who had murdered a Roman soldier). The Jews chosen Barabbas. Pilate took Jesus and had him overwhelmed almost to lack of life, wondering the Jews ought to imagine that sufficient punishment and enable him bypass. They nonetheless yelled: Crucify him! back Pilate stated do it your self and back the Jewish leaders stated Jesus ought to die for he claimed to be God. This made Pilate slightly frightened. He puzzled Jesus some more advantageous and tried his acceptable to get the Jews to enable Jesus bypass loose. They performed the trump card: in case you enable him bypass loose - you're not any pal of Caesar. They reasoned that Jesus had set himself up as king and subsequently changed into an enemy to Caesar. Pilate did not opt to have Jesus crucified yet he did not opt to lose his head. Pilate instructed them that he washed his fingers of the completed affair and gave them Jesus to be crucified. those are merely historic info. Jesus turned right into a Jew. Christians do no longer hate Jews. and also you're proper: he got here to die and did not withstand lack of life. It changed into foretold interior the former testomony.

Answer 9

Exactly! It was always the High Priest's job to do the sacrifice for the atonement for sins!!.

Answer 10

Didn't Jesus tell Judas to go tell on him? So more or less Jesus wanted to die. Jew's had no intention of killing him.
