Well yes they are. The reason is because they say they love the Jews and it anti-sentiment to say the Jews killed Jesus. So who could a christian now a day approach a Jewish person to discuss a business deal and in the back of the Jewish person mind, the though of "this christian says our people killed Jesus" awkward in discussing religion but the Pope and the Rabbis just had a meeting and they are bonding now so no telling what other changes they will make. one must remember the Jews of the time gave the world Jesus and Christianity, so they will change is as need be, Me I do not believe in the religion system, they do not work as much as people would like to say it does. And the catholic church still rules over all the christian as mush as the Christians do not want to believe it.

In the past some few Christians got the publicity for saying that the Jews living in their domain were responsible for killing the Jewish Messiah.



Most Christians have always known that it was only the fellow Jews of Jesus' time that had Him put to death.



There is no fear of the Jews in our time by Christians. And there should be no fear by the Jews of this time of Christians.

If you look in our original source about Jesus, the Gospels, you will see that Jesus was killed by Romans at the insistence of some of the Jewish authorities, not by all or most Jews. The However, Jesus himself made it clear that they couldn't have done this without his consent. He volunteered for this mission to redeem humanity.

Christians lately have become sensitive to ant-Jewish sentiment, considering that Judaism is the root of Christianity.

The people who are enemies of the Jews tend also to be enemies of Christians.

Are you one?

Jesus went to the cross to atone for the sins of the whole world and to raise from the dead and have victory over death for us. So we also will be raised from the dead in redemption complete.



All who put Jesus on the cross are guilty. Jesus told Pontius Pilot that those who turned Him to Pontius Pilot held the greater sin. That would be the Pharasees and scribes and the Jewish people who sided with them.



But in reality, the reason why Jesus did this is because the sins of all of us are that bad. Mankind has been guilty of sacrificing innocent children to their false gods. That is how far mankind will go, and it is the worst sin that grieves the heart of God. Jesus Christ was innocent (without sin) and humans murdered an innocent (that is human sin nature). But because Jesus obeyed God to the point of death in His humanity, He raised from the dead a resurrected everlasting body, flesh & bone. That is also why He is our High Priest & anyone anywhere can call upon His Name, Jesus! He is at the right hand of God forever making intercession for us, and through His Church (Saints).



Christians are realizing the Truth revealed in the Word of God. Jesus Christ, the Savior of Israel and Gentiles from all nations who call upon His name, came through Israel. Blessed Mother Mary is Jewish. The Holy Bible was written by Prophetic Jews.





Also, The Jews of the time gave the World Jesus and Christianity (the answer before mine). If it weren't for them rejecting Yeshua Messiah as King of the Jews, Gods Salvation would have never been made for the rest of us.

Jesus was killed by the Jewish Establishment of His time, who handed Him over to the Roman authorities as a political agitator and rabble-rouser. However, Jews living today, almost two thousand years later, can no more be personally blamed for His death than can (for example) today's M.P.'s be blamed for the death of King Charles I after he lost the Civil War to the Parliament of the 1600's. You cannot blame anyone for the acts of his ancestors - especially a small group of them! Incidentally, I write as a committed Christian.
2006-12-16 20:45:00 UTC
They are using semantics to cloud the issue! It was the Jewish Leaders that made Pilot crucify Jesus. Pilot knew that Jesus was Innocent of any Roman crime, and wanted to turn Him loose, but was afraid of the what the Jewish leaders said, when the said that if he did not crucify Jesus then Pilot was not a friend of Cesar, and not being the friend of Cesar got you killed.

It was the sin nature of mankind that killed Jesus, and it was Love for each and everyone of us, that held him to the cross and not the three nails!



The Jews and the Romans were instruments and was all a part of God's Prophetic Design, to redeem mankind from a sinful nature

Technically the Jews were under occupation of Rome at the time, and Rome had made it illegal for Jews to put prisoners to death; so technically; it was the Romans that crucified Jesus.



The cricifixion of Jesus was done at the Jews request; and there is blame enough to go around.

It was the Romans that governed Israel at the time and they crucified Jesus. They were the policing and judging force in the country, the Jews might have wanted him killed, but they did not execute the Crucifixion.
2006-12-16 20:30:15 UTC
And you remember them saying that for 1900 years? Read any source - if Jesus had existed at all, he would have been killed by Romans, like all other cricified people back then. You can read, right?

According to the bible the Jews did participate in the killing of Jesus. It also says that all mankind participated in His death. Just because we weren't there doesn't make us innocent. Since we are all sinners and Jesus dyed for each of us removes any innocence on our part.



Is this what you are referring to? I am not aware of the blame shift that you are talking about.

No. It is because for all that time the Catholic Church lied on the subject, as the church was very anti-Semitic. Then, the Pope decided it was time for the lie to be acknowledged and the truth be told. The Romans killed him.
The Doctor
2006-12-16 20:30:31 UTC
Technically, the Romans killed him. But Pilate asked the Jews (actually the rabbis and elders), and they wanted Jesus killed:



"Pilate said to them, 'Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?' All of them said, 'Let him be crucified!'" (Matthew 27:22-23, NRSV) Pilate himself said he had washed his hands of the affair.

but Jesus was not ( literally ) killed by the Jews. the Jews preferred Barabbas to Jesus? didn't they?

In the Name of God, The Most Beneficient, Most Merciful,



I am starting my answer with some verses of the Qur'an. You will noticed that the word Allah is used instead of the word God, to christians or most english speaking people, this will seem as if Allah is a False God or Diety, but it must be understood that languages such as arabic and hebrew came before english, to the point that even the jews do not call God, God, but they call Him, Eloheim. Both Allah and Eloheim have the root word ilah (meaning God or Lord), and if you still can not understand that when Allah is mentioned it means the Lord of Moses,Noah, Abraham, Issac, Muhammad, Ishmael, Adam and Joseph, May God peace be upon all of them; then turn to the christians in arab speaking countries who themselves believe in the trinity and they still call God, Allah.



After the versus I will also put some the understanding of what is mentioned as to Jesus being killed by the Jews.



_________________________________________________



Verily, those who disbelieve in Allâh and His Messengers and wish to make distinction between Allâh and His Messengers (by believing in Allâh and disbelieving in His Messengers) saying, "We believe in some but reject others," and wish to adopt a way in between.



They are in truth disbelievers. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating torment.



And those who believe in Allâh and His Messengers and make no distinction between any of them (Messengers), We shall give them their rewards, and Allâh is Ever Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.



The people of the Scripture (Jews) ask you to cause a book to descend upon them from heaven. Indeed they asked Mûsa (Moses) for even greater than that, when they said: "Show us Allâh in public," but they were struck with thunder clap and lightning for their wickedness. Then they worshipped the calf even after clear proofs, evidences, and signs had come to them. (Even) so We forgave them. And We gave Mûsa (Moses) a clear proof of authority.



And for their covenant, We raised over them the Mount and (on the other occasion) We said: "Enter the gate prostrating (or bowing) with humility;" and We commanded them: "Transgress not (by doing worldly works on) the Sabbath (Saturday)." And We took from them a firm covenant.



Because of their breaking the covenant, and of their rejecting the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, and of their killing the Prophets unjustly, and of their saying: "Our hearts are wrapped (with coverings, i.e. we do not understand what the Messengers say)" - nay, Allâh has set a seal upon their hearts because of their disbelief, so they believe not but a little.



And because of their (Jews) disbelief and uttering against Maryam (Mary) a grave false charge (that she has committed illegal sexual intercourse);



And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allâh," - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but the resemblance of 'Iesa (Jesus) was put over another man (and they killed that man), and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [i.e. 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary) ]:



But Allâh raised him ['Iesa (Jesus)] up (with his body and soul) unto Himself (and he is in the heavens). And Allâh is Ever All Powerful, All Wise.



And there is none of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), but must believe in him ['Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), as only a Messenger of Allâh and a human being],before his ['Iesa (Jesus) or a Jew's or a Christian's] death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he ['Iesa (Jesus)] will be a witness against them



For the wrong doing of the Jews, We made unlawful to them certain good foods which has been lawful to them, and for their hindering many from Allâh's Way;



And their taking of Ribâ (usury) though they were forbidden from taking it and their devouring of men's substance wrongfully (bribery, etc.). And We have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful torment.



But those among them who are well-grounded in knowledge, and the believers, believe in what has been sent down to you (Muhammad SAW) and what was sent down before you, and those who perform As Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât and believe in Allâh and in the Last Day, it is they to whom We shall give a great reward.



Verily, We have inspired you (O Muhammad SAW)[] as We inspired Nûh (Noah) and the Prophets after him; We (also) inspired Ibrâhim (Abraham), Ismâ'il (Ishmael), Ishâque (Isaac), Ya'qûb (Jacob), and Al­Asbât [the twelve sons of Ya'qûb (Jacob)], 'Iesa (Jesus), Ayub (Job), Yûnus (Jonah), Hârûn (Aaron), and Sulaimân (Solomon), and to Dawûd (David) We gave the Zabûr (Psalms).



And Messengers We have mentioned to you before, and Messengers We have not mentioned to you, - and to Mûsa (Moses) Allâh spoke directly.



Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allâh after the Messengers. And Allâh is Ever All Powerful, All Wise.



But Allâh bears witness to that which He has sent down (the Qur'ân) unto you (O Muhammad SAW), He has sent it down with His Knowledge, and the angels bear witness. And Allâh is All-Sufficient as a Witness.



Verily, those who disbelieve [by concealing the truth about Prophet Muhammad SAW and his message of true Islâmic Monotheism written with them in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and prevent (mankind) from the Path of Allâh (Islâmic Monotheism), they have certainly strayed far away. (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî). (See V.7:157)



Verily, those who disbelieve and did wrong [by concealing the truth about Prophet Muhammad SAW and his message of true Islâmic Monotheism written with them in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], Allâh will not forgive them, nor will He guide them to any way, - (Tafsir Al-Qurtubî).



Except the way of Hell, to dwell therein forever, and this is ever easy for Allâh.



O mankind! Verily, there has come to you the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) with the truth from your Lord, so believe in him, it is better for you. But if you disbelieve, then certainly to Allâh belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. And Allâh is Ever All­Knowing, All Wise.



O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allâh aught but the truth. The Messiah 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allâh and His Word, ("Be!" - and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rûh) created by Him; so believe in Allâh and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allâh is (the only) One Ilâh (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allâh is All Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.



The Messiah will never be proud to reject to be a slave to Allâh, nor the angels who are near (to Allâh). And whosoever rejects His worship and is proud, then He will gather them all together unto Himself.



So, as for those who believed (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and did deeds of righteousness, He will give their (due) rewards, and more out of His Bounty. But as for those who refuse His worship and were proud, He will punish them with a painful torment . And they will not find for themselves besides Allâh any protector or helper.



O mankind! Verily, there has come to you a convincing proof (Prophet Muhammad SAW) from your Lord, and We sent down to you a manifest light (this Qur'ân).



So, as for those who believed in Allâh and held fast to Him, He will admit them to His Mercy and Grace (i.e. Paradise), and guide them to Himself by a Straight Path.



(An-Nisa 4:149-175)



[Here is the answer to the question who killed Jesus---]



The Evil Accusation the Jews Uttered Against Maryam and Their Claim that They Killed `Isa



Allah said, (And because of their (Jews) disbelief and uttering against Maryam a grave false charge.) `Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn `Abbas stated that the Jews accused Maryam (mary mother of Jesus) of fornication. This meaning is also apparent in the verse, as the Jews accused Maryam and her son of grave accusations: They accused her of fornication and claimed that `Isa (Jesus) was an illegitimate son. Some of them even claimed that she was menstruating while fornicating.



The Jews also said, ("We killed Al-Masih (The Messiah), `Isa, son of Maryam (Jesus son of Mary), the Messenger of Allah,'') meaning, we killed the person who claimed to be the Messenger of Allah. The Jews only uttered these words in jest and mockery, just as the polytheists said,(O you to whom the Dhikr (the Qur'an) has been sent down! Verily, you are a mad man!)



When Allah sent `Isa (Jesus) with proofs and guidance, the Jews, envied him because of his prophethood and obvious miracles; curing the blind and leprous and bringing the dead back to life, by Allah's leave (by God's permission). He also used to make the shape of a bird from clay and blow in it, and it became a bird by Allah's leave and flew. `Isa (Jesus) performed other miracles that Allah honored him with, yet the Jews defied and bellied him and tried their best to harm him.



Allah's Prophet `Isa could not live in any one city for long and he had to travel often with his mother, peace be upon them. Even so, the Jews were not satisfied, and they went to the king of Damascus at that time, a Greek polytheist who worshipped the stars. They told him that there was a man in Bayt Al-Maqdis misguiding and dividing the people in Jerusalem and stirring unrest among the king's subjects. The king became angry and wrote to his deputy in Jerusalem to arrest the rebel leader, stop him from causing unrest, crucify him and make him wear a crown of thorns.



When the king's deputy in Jerusalem received these orders, he went with some Jews to the house that `Isa (Jesus) was residing in, and he was then with twelve, thirteen or seventeen of his companions (His 12, 13, or 17 disciples). That day was a Friday, in the evening. They surrounded `Isa (Jesus) in the house, and when he felt that they would soon enter the house or that he would sooner or later have to leave it, he said to his companions (disciples), "Who volunteers to be made to look like me, for which he will be my companion in Paradise'' A young man volunteered (Judas), but `Isa thought that he was too young. He asked the question a second and third time, each time the young man (Judas) volunteering, prompting `Isa to say, "Well then, you will be that man.'' Allah made the young man look exactly like `Isa, while a hole opened in the roof of the house, and `Isa was made to sleep and ascended to heaven while asleep. Allah said,



(And (remember) when Allah said: "O `Isa (Jesus)! I will take you and raise you to Myself.'') When `Isa ascended, those who were in the house came out. When those surrounding the house saw the man who looked like `Isa, they thought that he was `Isa. So they took him at night, crucified him and placed a crown of thorns on his head. The Jews then boasted that they killed `Isa (Jesus) and some Christians accepted their false claim, due to their ignorance and lack of reason. As for those who were in the house with `Isa (Jesus), they witnessed his ascension to heaven, while the rest thought that the Jews killed `Isa by crucifixion. They even said that Maryam sat under the corpse of the crucified man and cried, and they say that the dead man spoke to her. All this was a test from Allah for His servants out of His wisdom.



Allah explained this matter in the Glorious Qur'an which He sent to His honorable Messenger, whom He supported with miracles and clear, unequivocal evidence. Allah is the Most Truthful, and He is the Lord of the worlds Who knows the secrets, what the hearts conceal, the hidden matters in heaven and earth, what has occurred, what will occur, and what would occur if it was decreed. He said,



(but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared as that to them,) referring to the person whom the Jews thought was `Isa. This is why Allah said afterwards,





(and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture.) referring to the Jews who claimed to kill `Isa (Jesus) and the ignorant Christians who believed them. Indeed they are all in confusion, misguidance and bewilderment. This is why Allah said,



(For surely; they killed him not.) meaning they are not sure that `Isa was the one whom they killed. Rather, they are in doubt and confusion over this matter.



(But Allah raised him up unto Himself. And Allah is Ever All-Powerful,) meaning, He is the Almighty, and He is never weak, nor will those who seek refuge in Him ever be subjected to disgrace,



(All-Wise.) in all that He decides and ordains for His creatures. Indeed, Allah's is the clearest wisdom, unequivocal proof and the most glorious authority. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, "Just before Allah raised `Isa (Jesus) to the heavens, `Isa went to his companions, who were twelve inside the house. When he arrived, his hair was dripping water and he said, `There are those among you who will disbelieve in me twelve times after he had believed in me.' He then asked, `Who volunteers that his image appear as mine, and be killed in my place. He will be with me (in Paradise)' One of the youngest ones among them (Judas) volunteered and `Isa asked him to sit down. `Isa again asked for a volunteer, and the young man kept volunteering and `Isa asking him to sit down. Then the young man volunteered again and `Isa said, `You will be that man,' and the resemblance of `Isa was cast over that man while `Isa ascended to heaven from a hole in the house. When the Jews came looking for `Isa, they found that young man and crucified him. Some of `Isa's followers disbelieved in him twelve times after they had believed in him. They then divided into three groups. One group, Al-Ya`qubiyyah (Jacobites), said, `Allah remained with us as long as He willed and then ascended to heaven.' Another group, An-Nasturiyyah (Nestorians), said, `The son of Allah was with us as long as he willed and Allah took him to heaven.' Another group, Muslims (the christians who submitted to God and were truthful), said, `The servant and Messenger of Allah remained with us as long as Allah willed, and Allah then took him to Him.' The two disbelieving groups cooperated against the Muslim group (the truthful Christian group) and they killed them. Ever since that happened, Islam was then veiled until Allah sent Muhammad .''



________________________________________________



In conclusion



I end with these verses from the Qur'an...



And they (disbelievers) plotted [to kill 'Iesa (jesus)], and Allâh planned too. And Allâh is the Best of the planners. (Aali Imran 3:54)



And (remember) when Allâh said: "O 'Iesa (jesus)! I will take you and raise you to Myself and clear you [of the forged statement that 'Iesa (jesus) is Allâh's son] of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you (Monotheists, who worship none but Allâh) superior to those who disbelieve [in the Oneness of Allâh, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad SAW, 'Iesa (jesus), Mûsa (Moses), etc., or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Taurât (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel), the Qur'ân] till the Day of Resurrection. Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute." (Aali Imran 3:55)



Verily, the likeness of 'Iesa (jesus) before Allâh is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was. (Aali Imran 3:59)



Then whoever disputes with you concerning him ['Iesa (jesus)] after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, [i.e. 'Iesa (jesus)] being a slave of Allâh, and having no share in Divinity) say: (O Muhammad SAW) "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves - then we pray and invoke (sincerely) the Curse of Allâh upon those who lie." (Aali Imran 3:61)



Verily! This is the true narrative [about the story of 'Iesa (jesus)], and, Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh, the One and the Only True God, Who has neither a wife nor a son). And indeed, Allâh is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (Aali Imran 3:62)



May God, guide you and mend your affairs. Please take the time to read this. May God increase you in beneficial knowledge. Ameen.
