It is not for us to ask such questions of ourselves.

We do not have the grace now for that situation.

When you are in that situation, God gives the grace to obey.

God gave Abraham the grace to obey him.

It can't be done any other way.


true, elin

i meditated on these ideas in the past but perhaps all that speculation did not serve as i had thought.
i did not intend for it to be folly but i cannot know how i would react.

grace and mercy are 2 words i plan to spend some time thinking on bc i dont have a very full meaning of them -
and that might actually serve better. If i am to believe it is time to grow up in Christ.

Then after this rich man walked away very sad the disciples asked Christ who then can be saved?
Matthew 19:26Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Yes Salvation is 100% a gift and a gift is free, The history above is before Chri8st going to the cross, thereofore it is a part of the Old Testament Old Covenant
As a matter of fact anything and all things Christ did prior to his death at the cross was done under the Old Covenmat and it was Christ fulfilling the Old Covenant and by his deathat the cross the new Covenant was put in place
Hebrews 9:15-17 New Covenant Matt 5:17 where he said his purpose was here to do John 19:30 he said what he came to do is done. Then the most miraculous happening raised from the dead. He came to and the thiefs are still here to
John 10:10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
So the resurrection is meant for you too here and now as long as you beleive God
Romans 5:10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
homwardbound,
ty for these verses
it is good to remember that it is through God, through Christ, that things are made possible. and ty for Romans 5:10 i will have to look into that more.

I‘m a writer. I do years of research on subjects I write…even for fiction. One story I have been working on for the past several years, is the death of Jesus…who killed him” Some put it on the Jews, others the Romans.
Who do you think Killed Jesus?
The Romans killed Him, but according to the claim of the Jews in front of Pontius Pilate:
Mat 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
Mat 27:25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

The claim of the blood of Christ was on the Jews and their children. By their own words.

I want to thank all who have expressed their views on the OP of this thread. I have read all of them. At one time, or another, all of your feeling have also been mine. I am writing out what I believe to be true, and will soon post my thoughts. They may be true, and they may not. I may be crazy, or God has given me a clear picture to pass on...in all truth I don't know.I have no fear of looking like a fool. If I am wrong, I Apologies to my God, my Lord Jesus, and the members of this forum.

Who Killed Jesus Christ?



By Michael Hoffman


Modern people think they know the answer to the question, "Who killed Jesus Christ?" They answer as they have been indoctrinated: all of ours sins killed Jesus generally, and the Romans in particular were responsible. No other malefactors are specifically cited, except perhaps for a fleeting mention of a generic class of leaders, the “Chief Priests,” and a vague tribe referred to as “the people."

Our sins did indeed contribute to the anguish, torment and death which Jesus suffered, and Pontius Pilate is a stand-in for every weak, compromising Lunchpail Joe and Retirement Harry throughout time who will only try to do the right thing if it doesn't cost them personally. Pilate's wife put a harbinger of spiritual doom in Pilate's ear, but the Jewish mob took the starch out of Pilate's spine when it served up a more immediate threat for him to contemplate: the wrath of Caesar.

Pilate chose the friendship of his boss in Rome over friendship with the King of the Universe. How many times have we made an equally foolish choice -- of expedience over principle? Yes, we are all guilty of the death of Our Lord.

Yet, when the account of the trial, torture and execution of the Son of God is reduced to only a universal poster for human depravity in general, a truth at the heart of this sacred narrative is denied.

At this time of year sincere Christians endeavor to walk again in the footsteps of our Savior as he emerged from his 40 day fast to beg His Father in the Garden at Gethsemane to let the cup of an excruciatingly painful and shameful immolation, pass by.

In endeavoring to penetrate as deeply as we can the mystery of the death of Jesus, it is necessary that all the factors in his murder are considered and encountered. It is a denial of the Cross to slink away from the truth as did all but two of the followers of Jesus on the Day of His Crucifixion.

We cannot content ourselves, out of fear and political correctness, with referring to those who conspired to kill Him, in bland, generic terms as "the Chief Priests and the People.”

In the case of Judas, New Age gnostics paint him as a a misunderstood anti-hero who made possible the divine atonement by bringing about the inevitable Sacrifice that opened the gates of heaven. Without Judas, they say, Christ could not have fulfilled His mission. This assertion is presented to Gnostic initiates as a specially insightful esoteric revelation.

But it ignores the plain meaning of Jesus words: "Woe unto the world because of offenses! For it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense come! (Matthew 18:7).

Judas was not freed from the consequences of his betrayal by some occult notion of him serving as a righteous instrument of the inevitable. Some sinner was going to offend God and betray His Son. It tuned out that that someone was Judas Iscariot. Woe unto him, and to all who do as he did.

The religion of Judaism, when it became enamored of the oral traditions and superstitions of men, became the idol that blinded the Jewish leadership and then the people, to the fact that their Messiah had arrived and was in their midst. Initially, He had come only for them.

The Pharisees

In the 1965 papal teaching "Nostra Aetate," it was declared, "...the Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ (John 19:6); still, what happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today. Although the Church is the new people of God, the Jews should not be presented as rejected or accursed by God, as if this followed from the Holy Scriptures."

True, "it cannot be charged against all Jews." But as for the statement, "His passion cannot be charged against the Jews of today" this is without Biblical or patristic foundation. It is a heretical fabrication.

The Pharisees had the major instigating role in the murder of God's Divine Son. Those who derive their spiritual patrimony from the Pharisees are today known as Orthodox Jews. Because of their belief, and not because of their alleged racial descent, these modern-day Pharisees are indeed guilty of deicide. They would crucify Jesus again, if they could. How do we know this? The most revered of all rabbis in the history of the West is Moses Maimonides. He is admired by liberals and conservatives, the Left and the Right, and most significantly, by the Orthodox wing of Judaism, for whom he is the paradigm of a great sage.

Rabbi Moses Maimonides

In his tract, Avodat Kochavim, Rabbi Maimonides issued a divine mandate to kill the "wicked" Jesus Christ, as well as all Jews who follow Him, and all those who do not follow the Talmud.

Maimonides wrote: "It is a mitzvah (religious duty highly pleasing to God), to destroy Jewish traitors, minim (Christians), and apikorsim, and to cause them to descend to the pit of destruction, since they cause difficulty to the Jews and sway the people away from God, as did Jesus of Nazareth and his students, and Tzadok, Baithos, and their students. May the name of the wicked rot.”

The holy name of Jesus Christ, by which “every knee shall bow,” is cursed by Judaism’s most esteemed, media-glorified rabbi, who dares to say of Him, "May the name of the wicked rot."

(Maimonides’ allusion to "Tzadok and Baithos” and to apikorsim, refers to opponents of the Talmudic oral law).

The Talmud

In the Babylonian Talmud (BT) Sanhedrin 43a we read:

"On Passover Eve they hanged Jesus of Nazareth. And the herald went out before him for 40 days and proclaimed, Jesus of Nazareth...practiced sorcery, incited and led Israel astray. Whoever knows of an argument that may be proposed in his favor should come and present that argument on his behalf. But the judges did not find an argument in his favor, so they hanged him on Passover Eve...Did Jesus of Nazareth deserve that a search be made for an argument in his favor? Surely he incited others to idol worship..."

BT Sanhedrin 107b:

Jesus "went and set up a brick to symbolize an idol and bowed down to it...Anyone who sins and also causes the community to sin is not permitted to do repentance. A Sage said: Jesus performed magic and incited the people of Israel and led them astray."

The famous passage from the Gospel of Matthew about the Jews agreeing that Christ's blood would be on them and their children has been used to justify racial hatred for anyone labeled a "Jew." This view is contrary to the New Testament, where race is only a determining issue for the proud rabbinic enemies of Jesus, not for His followers.

A Blood Libel that is not a Libel

The Gospel of Matthew has been indicted as the grounds by which countless "Jews" were murdered in pogroms due to the "Blood Libel" (Judaic persons supposedly falsely accused of torturing and murdering Christian children). Tremendous advantage has been gained for Zionism and Talmudism by the circulation of tales of bloodthirsty priests and Christian peasants attacking and killing Judaic persons on trumped charges of "ritually" murdering gentile infants and children.

These archetypal tales of blamelessness and victimhood have an endless shelf life and are recycled year after year in spite of the fact that the truth of the ritual murder accusation has been confirmed by no less a figure than Ariel Toaff, the son of the Chief Rabbi of Rome. Toaff is Professor of Medieval History at Bar-Ilan University, outside Tel Aviv. He revealed the reality of Judaic ritual murder of Christians in his formidably researched masterwork, Pasque di Sangue ("Blood Passover”). He gives strong evidence that in some cases Ashkenazi "Jews" were indeed guilty of the ritual murder of Christian children in Europe.

If his book had remained in print for more than a few days it might have completely overtuned one of the pillars of Zionist agit-prop. In the ensuing hysteria however, Pasque di Sangue was almost completely suppressed after the author recanted under immense pressure and threats of imprisonment and bodily harm.

Pasque di Sangue has been accurately translated and published online in English as Blood Passover. The entire text is freely available at: Untitled Document
It makes for sobering Good Friday reading.

Concerning who killed Jesus Christ, the Apostle Paul declared:

"For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost." (I Thessalonians 2: 14-16).

Paul's statement is unambiguous. It is not open to interpretation. It destroys the whole basis of the current, play-it-safe party line of Church and State.

For most of its existence the Church proclaimed that beyond the evil that our own individual sins had wrought, and that of the Roman empire and its soldiers and procurators, it was the majority of the Jews of Palestine who were responsible for the death of the Son of God. "Deicide" it was termed in my youth, in the years before Auschwitz. Now, "post-Holocaust," we are made to believe that God is not in heaven, he is on earth, in the person of the Jewish people themselves. The Cross has been replaced by the putative gas chambers. The "wrath come upon them to the uttermost," has come upon us as we cooperate in this imposture.

Who killed Christ? He was killed at Golgotha at the behest of the majority of the Jews of Palestine. The heirs of those killers are among us today, in the ranks of Orthodox Judaism.

The memory of who killed Him - and why - that too has been killed.

Zone regardless of who whom and what got Christ killed was necessary was it not? to do what? and to bring what? Is it not the resurrection that is the most important, because no one can de saved by death correct?

Jesus,
I crucified thee.
Thanking God for the cross and more the resurrection after the death whereby we are saved
1 Corinthians 1:18[ Christ Crucified Is God’s Power and Wisdom ] For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 10:33even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
1 Corinthians 15:2By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
Ephesians 2:5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
Ephesians 2:8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

Everyone put Yeshua to death, The Lord our father, Satan, The gentiles and the Jews
Exodus 12:6 Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight

John 11:48-52 [SUP]45-48 [/SUP]That was a turn around for many of the Jews who were with Mary. They saw what Jesus did, and believed in him. But some went back to the Pharisees and told on Jesus. The high priests and Phariseescalled a meeting of the Jewish ruling body. “What do we do now?” they asked. “This man keeps on doing things, creating God-signs. If we let him go on, pretty soon everyone will be believing in him and the Romans will come and remove what little power and privilege we still have.”
[SUP]49-52 [/SUP]Then one of them—it was Caiaphas, the designated Chief Priest that year—spoke up, “Don’t you know anything? Can’t you see that it’s to our advantage that one man dies for the people rather than the whole nation be destroyed?” He didn’t say this of his own accord, but as Chief Priest that year he unwittingly prophesied that Jesus was about to die sacrificially for the nation, and not only for the nation but so that all God’s exile-scattered children might be gathered together into one people.
John 18:31-4031 Pilate said, "Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law." "But we have no right to executeanyone," the Jews objected. 32 This happened so that the words Jesus had spoken indicating the kind of death he was going to die would be fulfilled. 33 Pilate then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?" 34 "Is that your own idea," Jesus asked, "or did others talk to you about me?" 35 "Am I a Jew?" Pilate replied. "It was your people and your chief priests who handed you over to me. What is it you have done?" 36 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place." 37 "You are a king, then!" said Pilate. Jesus answered, "You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me." 38 "What is truth?" Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the Jews and said, "I find no basis for a charge against him. 39 But it is your custom for me to release to you one prisoner at the time of the Passover. Do you want me to release 'the king of the Jews'?" 40 They shouted back, "No, not him! Give us Barabbas!" Now Barabbas had taken part in a rebellion.

Mark 15:13 Crucify him!" they shouted

John 19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away
1 Corinthians 2:8 None of the rulers of this age understood it ( not humans or Satan and his angels), for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory

John 10:18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

Isaiah 53:10Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand

Acts 3:13The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus; whom you delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
Why did he have to die.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

It is God provided way for us to be saved. Jesus could have pray God to bring a legion of angel to and destroyed all of them. But He did not do it . He preferred to suffer and died on the cross because it is the will of the Father.

That is correct. Jesus came here to die. He put himself in a position where they had to kill him. How would we be saved. if the mob had said. "Free the Man Jesus?"

John 10:17-18


"Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father."

we could have been saved any number of ways.

there is something to the sacrifice angle i cannot quite figure out.
i have learned they were very into blood sacrifice at that time...but this also has to speak for all time.
so what does it mean today? does it have something to do with the hiearchal issues? and by that i do mean the gap between God and man. it seems odd to give a sacrifice to undo sacrifice that part i have never understood.

Re: Who do you think Killed Jesus?

i offered the biblical answer (by another author), and the reason we seem afraid to say what our Bibles say.
read it again if you like.

the OP wasn't Was the killing of Jesus necessary?
Jesus laid down his own life he fulfilled prophesy and took on the sin of the whole world to free those that believe in him and then givethose that believe new life in him and this is done by the resurrection of Jesus unto us the believers
Noone killed Jesus and only the perfect bodyof Christ died and was risen again.
If we stay at the death and not move on how will anyone come to life the new life in him
Jesus even said to Peter as he had Peter put down the sword Christ said that his Kingdom is not of this world if it were there would be angels here andwe would fight
Therefore let us see that our fight is not carnal it is Spiritual and even the Spiritual part is now won by the resurrection of Christ I am so glad for this to be no matter who or what killed him, for it was necessary to be freed from stress and worry by first the death were we are all reconciled to God (forgiven) but all are still in need of life here ad now and it is available to all here and now by the resurrection of Christ without the resurrection we all would still be in our sins. and we can't be in the resurrection here and now unless all sins are taken away by the death
