Are the jews the ones who suggested that Jesus Christ should be crusified?

Question

Tell me more about the history of the jews...

Answer 1

Human sacrifice was NEVER acceptable to God. We learned that from the near-sacrifice of Isaac.

God allowed His people to continue sacrificing, but only oils, grains, incense, and little critters -- never a human. All animal sacrifice required the quickest and most humane method of slaughter. Jews have never been allowed to let animals suffer, much less human beings. Part of what makes up kosher meat is that the animal has been killed in the quickest, most humane method possible.

Did you know that the Romans crucified so many Jews and left them to rot on crosses lining the streets of Jerusalem that they had to import trees from Lebanon for the crosses?

sillilou says: "Jesus came for the jewish race. If it's leaders hadn't rejected him those not jewish wouldn't have any hope. It was only in their rejection that he became savior of all." The truth is that gentiles were NEVER excluded from the world-to-come. From the beginning of Judaism, all the righteous of the nations have had a share in the world-to-come! Jesus is irrelevant to Judaism. Christians have created a mythical place of eternal torment that only Jesus can save them from!

The Chistian obsession with pain and suffering does NOT originate in Judaism!

From "Judaism for Everyone" by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach:
Central to the Jewish response to suffering is a staunch rejection of the belief in its redemptive power. According to Judaism there are no ennobling qualities in pain…. The belief in the redemptive quality of suffering is a profoundly Christian concept. In Christianity, the suffering servant, the crucified Christ, brings atonement for the sins of mankind through his own sacrifice and torment. The message: Without suffering there can be no redemption. According to Christianity, if Jesus had not suffered and died on the cross, mankind would still be damned. Suffering is therefore extolled in the New Testament: “And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces hope” (Rom. 5:3-4). “If we are being afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation; if we are being consoled, it is for your consolation, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we are also suffering” (2 Cor. 1:6). Indeed, Paul even made suffering an obligation, encouraging the fledging Christians to “share in suffering like a good soldier of Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 2:3).
In Judaism, however, suffering is anything but redemptive. It leads to a tortured spirit and a pessimistic outlook on life. It scars our psyches and brings about a cynical consciousness, devoid of hope. Suffering causes us to dig out the insincerity of the hearts of our fellows and to be envious of other people’s happiness. If individuals do become better people as a result of their suffering, it is despite the fact that they suffered, not because of it. Ennoblement of character comes through triumph over suffering, rather than its endurance.
Man’s mission was never to make peace with suffering and death, but to abolish them from the face of the earth for all eternity by joining God as a junior partner in creation. By studying medicine and offering aid to people in need, we live up to our highest calling of having been created in the divine image. The atheist doctor who struggles to cure AIDS is infinitely more in tune with the Jewish response to suffering than the minister of religion who tells his flock that suffering is part of the divine plan. The sinning businessman who may have never stepped into a synagogue but makes a loan to a colleague to save him from bankruptcy is more in tune with the Jewish response to suffering than the Rabbi who seeks to give a rationalization for why children die of leukemia…. Our role as humans is not to give meaning to aberrations, but combating them and to healing wounds.

Answer 2

No, it was not the Jews.

Jesus himself was a Jew; he was a Rabbi (teacher). He prayed in a synagogue, ate kosher meals, and so on.

Only the Romans used crucifixion, and they wanted to get rid of Jesus because he was viewed as a political agitator.

The Romans also hated the Jews, so anyone who suggests the Jews 'persuaded' the Romans to kill Jesus is talking utter rubbish.

Jesus was born a Jew and he died a Jew. It's about time that Christianity stopped teaching that his death was down to the Jews.

Remember that the new testament accounts of the crucifixion were written after the event and the early Christians did not want to put the blame where it belonged, with the Romans, as this would have endangered their position. So instead they switched the blame to the Jews. Highly unfair, totally illogical, and utter rubbish.

Answer 3

no longer each and all the gospels have been written via Jews. Luke replaced right into a gentile. The early Christians weren't pagans who worshipped Jesus. The trinity replaced into no longer made up yet. there have been many fake messiahs, so the early Christians have been no diverse than the different gullible Jew who fell for the fake messiahs claims. Christians are greater often than not pagans now, so if a Jew believes Jesus he's likewise a pagan. Jesus has no longer something to do with Judaism, basically like Buddha has no longer something to do with Christianity. To have self assurance Jesus is the messiah is to reject G-d on condition that G-d made it sparkling interior the Tanakh(old testomony) who the messiah is and what he will do. Jesus did no longer something, infact he dousnt even come on the threshold of installation the define of the messiah. It even says interior the gospel that Jesus broke the sabbath, insulted his mom and enable a girl touch his legs. quite obvious he's no longer the messiah.

Answer 4

The Jews were against Jesus because they didn't believe the stories and claims that he was making . Even though they were against him , they had nothing to do with his crucifixion .
He was executed by the Romans according to Roman law . His crime was claiming to have powers greater than the Emperor. At that time and place , anyone making that claim would have gotten the same treatment . Many were crucified for far lesser offences .
Jews have been blamed for the death of Christ for centuries , even though they had nothing to do with his execution . The reason ? Because , at that time jews were the only people who were not believers in the Roman gods. They were different , they made a convenient scape-goat , so all that was blameable was dumped on them .
No , I am not Jewish nor do I have any Jewish relatives .

Answer 5

1...If Jesus would have violated any Jewish law or Jewish religious commandments, he would have been stoned to death, which was the Jewish method of execution.

2...Crucifixion was a Roman method of execution, not a Jewish one, and was applied when the person was a threat to Roman government

3...By the times of Jesus, Jews had no power, the Romans were in charge, Romans made all decisions.

4...To blame the Jews for Jesus' death was part of the Roman Empire plan after Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the empire, to take the blame away from themselves.

Answer 6

Crucifixion was never a method of applying a death penalty under Jewish law but a roman method.

Jesus committed no crime under jewish law....even if one were to make the claim that he actually did say he was 'king of the jews' or make any implication that he was god or the only path to god, a jewish court would have deemed him delusional, not that a jewish court would have held session on a holiday as it is described in the NT.

Jesus' crime was not anything he did or said vis-a-vis his fellow jews...rather by claiming he was a king (if he indeed did so) equal to or above the roman emperor sealed his fate. The whole story is a case of scapegoating....nothing more.

Answer 7

Certain Jews, mostly the leaders in the temple who were disturbed by Jesus' claim to be the Messiah, and His healing and forgiving sins by the power of God.

However, thousands of Jews received Jesus with love and faith.

At the time of Jesus' crucifixion, the Romans had conquered all the area in which Jesus lived and taught. The Romans allowed the Jews to continue with their Sanhedrin (their government), but the Romans took away capital punishment from the Jews. In order to have Jesus crucified, the Jewish leaders had to manipulate ROME into doing it. First, the Jewish leaders had to lie - make up charges (Lk. 23: 2, 3). The Jewish leaders then persisted in their demands for crucifixion (vss. 5-19) and chose to free a criminal Barabbas so that Jesus instead would receive the death penalty.

Answer 8

Well if Christians who participated in the Salem Witch trials and were responsible for the murder of a number of people represented all Christians then yes the Jews suggested it. If a group of highly inflammed and manipulated people demanded it, then just because they were Jews, no.

Answer 9

Crucifixion was a roman invention. The jewish leaders simply wanted him put to death for heresay. It was their job to protect & defend the faith. They saw many following him & his teachings. Plus the religion itself had become very political to survive or in some cases to prosper the leaders.

But the reality is Jesus came for the jewish race. If it's leaders hadn't rejected him those not jewish wouldn't have any hope. It was only in their rejection that he became savior of all. That's why we all owe a debt of gratitude to the jews. But the first christians were jews as was Jesus.

Answer 10

Jesus was a Jew......did you know that?

And crucifixtion was a common punishment in those times.
