Jesus had told His disciples He would be killed by Gentiles, but the Jews are implicated as much, by choosing to have Barabbas (son of the father) released to them with the cry, 'His blood be on us and on our children'. Acts 5:28.
who nailed Him to the cross - was it the Jews or the Romans - how can we know for sure ? - winc
Romans placed the nails but were strongly influenced or coerced by Jews who were of Kenite origins.
I agreed with you, Arn, until your last sentence. The rule of law presses the button, not the people. The rule of law is there specifically to keep the human element as far away as possible from these types of decisions, lest we have not the rule of law but a true democracy, which is, mob rule.
you nailed him winc ......... because of your sins.
dont matter which store the hammer and nails come from , or who swung the hammer.
We still do this today in our society , we execute criminals , it is not the guy who pressed the button
Jesus showed who the blood guilt would be upon, it's those who killed the prophets (Matt.23).
The crazy doctrine that everyone that has ever sinned is guilty of crucifiying Christ upon the cross is a doctrine of men, and it's a stupid doctrine of men that's been pushed among some Churches today to play on people's 'emotions'.
The Apostle Peter might disagree with you... “He himself [Christ] bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness;" (1 Peter 2:24)
I don't think Vet went off topic but said that the ones who killed all the prophets were guilty of murdering Christ.again and again some want to go off on tangents instead of staying on track - for the question was "Who nailed Him" ? - winc
I don't think Vet went off topic but said that the ones who killed all the prophets were guilty of murdering Christ.
Those were related to Cain according to Mat 23:35. and not true Judeans.
It has everything to do with the actual question.it seems all this has no bearing,whatsoever,on the actual question - so I repeat it here viz Who nailed Him - winc
Hi winc,
veteran is saying that the Jews were responsible for Christ's death, even though it was Roman soldiers who 'nailed Him'.
who nailed Him to the cross - was it the Jews or the Romans - how can we know for sure ? - winc
