To Christians: What do you think of Jews?

Question

Just wondering if you like them or hate them? Because they have killed your God right? (That's what you believe).

"In its effect upon the life of the Jewish people," declares Jerusalem rabbi Eliezar Berkovits, "Christianity's New Testament has been the most dangerous anti-Semitic tract in history." His opinion is shared by a growing number of Christian theologians, many of whom are calling for editorial exclusion of all "anti-Jewish" sections of the New Testament, particularly in John's gospel. The publicity-conscious group of scholars known as the Jesus Seminar now declares that all passages in the Gospels that claim the Jews were at least partly responsible for the Crucifixion are not authentic and should be removed from the New Testament.

Man! you guys are manipulated by the jews.

Answer 1

For those who says the Romans.. are you only accounting for the ones who physically applied the labor of nailing to the cross, or do you hold accountable the Jews who came to the Romans wishing them to perform the curcifixion. Fulfilling prophecy on what type of death he was to die.

John 18:28-32

28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
KJV


John 18:38-19:1

38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
KJV

The Romans death was a fulfillment on his type of death, otherwise he would have been stoned to death.

Answer 2

Try to understand this. The purpose, as put forth in the scriptures, of Jesus arriving on the earth, was to die for the sins of all who cared to believe in him as an extension of the god of the old testament. Everyone who had a hand in the death of this "son of god" was doing the work of god so that he could ferret out the non believers. The jewish had already acquired favor in the eyes of god, but he had to kind of work a con to find out which were willing to accept the word of his son. The romans, the jews, and everyone else involved in the ending of Jesus's life were doing what god wanted. So to answer more succinctly, the jews did not kill the god of the believers, rather, they were the catalyst for the test of belief. It is also important to understand that if Jesus hadn't been crucified there wouldn't be any christianity as that was the purpose of the whole thing. I would say the christians owe the creation of their very beliefs to the jews and the romans, and anyone who judges or hates the jews and romans for killing christ isn't really seeing the whole picture.

Answer 3

The Nation if Israel ( The Jews ) are God's chosen people. The Lord and Master of The True Christian Faith is also The King of The Jews... I am not speaking of todays political State of Israel... only God knows who are the true genetic decendents of Abraham. When they reclaim, fully the Land God gave to them... LOOK OUT!... The end will truly be near....But they are not even close yet so there is still time left.

The Death of the mortal flesh that was both Fully God and Fully man, Jesus The Christ, was a willing sacrifice. though the physical act was instigated by a sect of The Jews it was carried out under Roman Law and by Roman forces.

God did not die on The Cross. The mortal flesh did. and that mortal flesh was resurected on the third day.

Answer 4

The Jews did not kill Jesus. They didn't have the power to kill Jesus. Jesus was not born under Adam's sin, He was not the seed of a man but the seed of God (see Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:18, and Luke 1:26-38). The Bible says the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Since Jesus was not born under sin and lived a perfect, sinless life, He was not subject to death. Instead, He laid down His life of His own free will, of His own volition, to taste death for every man so that every man, whosoever will, can be resurrected from death to life with Him because they believe in Him.

As for what I think and feel, I thank God for the Jews! If it weren't for Abraham, the father of all the Jews, I wouldn't be here. I love the Jewish heritage. It's a rich heritage.

To hate Jews is to hate Jesus because Jesus is Jewish!

Answer 5

I am a generic Christian at best and I certainly do not believe that the Jews killed Jesus - Son of God, not God. The Romans killed Jesus.

Answer 6

I view Jews as brothers and sisters in faith. I think that we believe in the same God initially. There were a handful of people responsible for the death of Jesus, but they don't represent the entire faith past and present. Jesus may have suffered through death, but He was risen three days later. Blaming anyone but ourselves for needing a Savior from sin would be very hypocritical. There is no reason to ever hate anyone.

Answer 7

True Christians do not believe that the Jews killed God, inasmuch as Jehovah God the Father has always been immortal.

Jesus Christ the Son did not receive the gift of immortality until he was resurrected three days after his impalement.

Christians and Jews enjoy a unique relationship in that they worship the same God, Jehovah and they believe the Hebrew Scriptures to be the inspired Word of God. However, the worship of most Christians and most Jews has been polluted by paganisms and human tradition, to the point where it too often contradicts the bible.

Answer 8

I love the Jewish people, Jesus was Jewish, and the Jewish are Gods chosen people. One could say that the Romans killed Christ as well. Yes, a group of Jewish Priests initiated it and the Romans followed the request and thought they had fun with it as well. The Priests heart were not in the right place and that is why they could not see Christ for who he was and is. They were intimidated by Jesus' following and didn't want to loose their following.

To categorize all Jewish people like that is ignorant. Besides, it had its purpose in time for happening anyway, it was to be.

Get over yourself already!

Answer 9

My God is and always was alive. He is the same God that the sincere Jew worships. I have much in common with the Jewish people because of this and it is my sincere hope that they will come to recognize Jesus as God's son as I do. I have nothing but love and respect for them. It is the liar who claims to be Jewish who killed/kills Jesus, God's son just as it is the liar who claims to be Christian that gives Christians a bad name.

Answer 10

Jews are the chosen people of God through father Abraham, just as God promised. The promise was to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob & their descendants.

They did not kill Christ, He laid down HIs life. Then, He rose again on the third day as the prophets foretold.
