If the Jews killed Jesus, one of their own people, are they Christians enemies somehow???

Answer 1

Okay lets put this into perspective. JC was a rebel back then. Think of all the hippies in the sixties who were free thinkers and were hated by the government and the police. Than think about, here's this guy who's got a lot of new ideas. He is changing the minds of people and he has a lot of followers. He becomes a threat to the way things are and have been. You as a leader don't like him and don't want things to change so what do you do? You find the weakest link and you get him to betray this evil rotten guy you don't like and offer the weakest link whatever he could imagine. JC told at the last supper (Passover) That one person was going to betray him. He knew. He could have hid he could have run or beaten the information out of his betrayed. But no! He faces his fate head on and becomes a martyr.
Now lets remember a few things:
JC was born and raised Jewish
All his followers were Jewish
Not all the people that wanted him dead were Jewish!
Many people back then mourned him both Jewish and Catholic.

If you thin about it all people who have a religion that believe in JC owe their religion to the Jews who bore and raised him! Our Talmud is the basis of your religion as well as our country man who faced his fate head on. Many Jews don't believe that he is the savior because the way the world is how could he have been. personally I believe that he was an amazing individual but I don't know if he was or was not what the Christians believe in.
It's up to each person to read the bible and decide by themselves. At least that's what I think.
Now there is this rarely known belief that is mentioned at Passover that mentions that "we thank the lord for what he did for us as we went from Egypt. Not our ancestors but we our selves." Basically it means that by our ancestors we were freed by the lord and we and our ancestors are tied.
Personally no one is my enemy as long as they treat me with respect and kindness. Any one who doesn’t isn't my favorite person but I wouldn't say that I hate them or that I have a vendetta against them! To me this is one of the things that is difficult with any group. They have a tendency to group others by their allegiances, color, background, religion, ethnicity and social groups.
Good luck and I hope all these posts have helped. bye,

Answer 2

Not necessarily. There are a lot of enemies to Christians as well as many other peoples but they don't have to be unless they choose to be. Some Jews have accepted that Jesus was their messiah so you could not say they are enemies any more, could you? You are an enemy only if you choose to be, not just for being from an ethnic race.

Answer 3

look, romans kill the jews only because they sees him as a rebel. And jews who told the roman never really mean to say go kill him or arrest him. All they did was tell the roman that they are not going against the roman empire, but only that guy who preaches is teaching people to free themselfs. And the jews have no choice or roman will consider them as enimies also and kill all the jews and if jesus didn't did there do you think people right now will still think him as a savior than a freedom talker?

Answer 4

That is a blood lie that has led to persecution of the Jewish people for centuries. The Romans killed Jesus. Even the Catholic Church has said that Jews had nothing to do with it.

Answer 5

Jews have killed their own people, Christians have killed their own people..... People make mistakes and do evil things, but they are never too late to find redemption, and because of that no one is truly an enemy......... they are just stubborn and deceived.

Answer 6

SunSpotte..........
Christianity is complex.........It's not a matter of who killed Jesus.........NO, we are NOT enemies....Infact most Christians will defend Jew's to the end. Why, because, we believe they are the chosen people of God and we are waiting for them to accept Jesus as " The Lamb of God ".....Why do you think America always stands behind Israel?

Answer 7

First of all, the Romans wanted to kill JC as much as the Jews did, for the same reason. To them he was a heretic.

And no, they are not enemies somehow. Whatever happened to "love thy neighbor as thyself"

(which actually came from Judaism, where Rabbi Hillel said "that which is hateful to you, do not to your fellow man")

Answer 8

No, I don't believe so. God is not a respecter of persons, and loves all the same. If He has something to say, He will say it to one and all the same. Christ taught the Samarians the same things he taught the Jews—the basis of all his teachings (the gospel of Jesus Christ) which is: Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. Thus, Jesus brought the kingdom of God to the Samarians, giving them all they needed to know to find peace, love, and harmony––both in this world, and in the world to come. To those who can’t accept the simplicity of Christ’s message, and insist they know their own truth by trusting in the arm of flesh, Jesus proclaimed: Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. (Luke 6:25–26) The only commandments of any worth to our salvation (happiness) are the ones Jesus Christ gave in Matthew, chapters 5, 6, and 7. All other actions, thoughts, beliefs, doctrines, or precepts that do not teach a person to do unto another what one would want done unto them, are not, nor have they ever been part of, the kingdom of God. This is the gospel of Jesus Christ—“the living fountain of water.” ...By no choice of their own, the Jews were “marked” for annihilation by Hitler’s regime. John was taught by Jesus that the stories and traditions of the Jews had no relevance to a person’s righteousness. The ordinances and rituals were allowed to be practied by the Jews as symbolic pointers to teach them how to get along with each other, and to give them “busy work” to keep their minds centered on spiritual matters instead of worldly pursuits (worshipping the golden calf). Hitler’s treatment of the Jews “reached far beyond” the normal atrocities of warfare. Feeling remorse and deep embarrassment is a double punishment. Each of these feelings is unique in its type and intensity. One comes from previous actions, and can be outwardly forgiven by another, but the other cannot be forgiven, except by the one who experiences its intrinsic effects. Those who do not treat others as they would want to be treated will suffer from this “double” punishment. Not only will they feel great remorse for treating others badly (“reward her even as she rewarded you”), but they will also feel embarrassed because of their ignorance when they thought they were doing the right thing. Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. (Acts 10:34-35) These quotes come from the book that explains all of Revelation in plainness. It is free at the site below:

Answer 9

No, because Jews were also the first Christians and, they are still Chosen people AND... the Bible tells us if we bless the Jews, we will be blessed, if we curse the Jews we will also be cursed.

Answer 10

People choose their enemies. Christians can choose the Jews as their enemies .... or NOT.
