Someone give this bigot a brain-ectomy, please.  \n\n*sighs*  They're not even remotely evil and theres no solid evidence that the Jews had Christ killed (who was a Jew, btw).  Even if a group of Jews did, how do you hold the entire religion responsible?

Jesus was a prophet, just like the many prophets before him and the one after him.  Besides, how could any one kill God?  Just like God would not lessen himself to an animal, neither would a rich medical doctor go begging on the streets.  The story is, there was a Jewish man named Saul.  He killed hundreds of thousands of Christians for the Roman Empire.  The religion of God was spreading, and his attempts were being unsuccessful.  Many years after prophet Jesus left us, he 'converted' to Christianity and introduced the concept of Zues son of Apollo relationship into Christianity and Saul changed his name and is now known as St. Paul.  According to Christian historians, many verses, including the one where it claims that God says prophet Jesus is His only begotten son, was added by Saul aka St. Paul.  He has destroyed Christianity from within and is now a pagan religion; look around next time you go to church.  The Bible is also full of Islamic prophesies. One that I recall is in genesis ~from the seed of Ishmael I will create a great nation and from him 12 princes will be descendant of. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was the only one to claim to be from prophet Ishmael plus he had 12 righteous descendants, as also stated in bukhari. The Bible also says that false prophets will not be successful but in the not to far off future, Islam will be the largest religion in this planet. Plus prophet Abraham and prophet Ishmael build the Kaba, and prophet Ishmael is buried there beside the building. Note, prophet Jesus did not have a father and was born of a Virgin Mary with the spirit, but prophet Adam had neither a mother or father and was made of the spirit without any previous human connection. If prophet Jesus brought the dead person to life, prophet Moses brought an inanimate piece of wood into a snake which is more miraculous. What is the miracle of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)? A Book, the Holy Qur'an, unchanged with proof for 1400 years, what other book can claim this? And if you think it was just good book keeping, there is a verse there claiming that God will protect the Holy Qur'an from any changes. Also the banned Bible according to St. Barnabas clearly states that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) will come after prophet Jesus.

The sign was the "titulus". It was an inscription which had to be carried before the condemned man to identify him and the cause for his execution. The sign would then be affixed to the cross. It was written with gypsum on a wooden board. It was spelled out in Latin, Hebrew, and Greek so that nearly everybody would be able to read it.\n\nPilate was following standard Roman protocol. Certainly his reply "what i have written, I have written" indicates his displeasure with the Jews and his desire to let his subtle insult stand.

Certainly that's possible, but why do you assume he was alive after having been crucified?  Why do you assume he was crucified at all, or that he even existed for that matter?\n\n...just because it's written in the Bible, a book clearly filled with outrageous myths and legends!?  \n\nIt isn't necessary to come up with complicated theories if you start with the presumption that the Bible is unreliable, and that we really don't know anything about Jesus as a result.

Jesus looks NOTHING like what they picture Him as.  He'd NEVER have long hair or pale skin (He lived inthe desert and it was "against His religion" for men to have long hair).  He looked like an average Jew.\nSee, at one point in time I thought about Jesus being black (which is why Africa is being treated to the way it is today because anyone affiliated w/ Jesus will go through hard times), but it really doesn't line up.  Even though REvalations talks about him having hair like wool and feet of bronze, Jesus is a Jew.  In the OT God didn't want His people marrying the Egyptians (or others in that same area) because of their religious views, not race.  It doesn't matter because it doesn't affect/effect what He did for us.  He died for us and that's all that matters.  He probably looked like a typical Jew.  "The Bible never gives any physical description of Christ. The closest thing we get to a description is in Isaiah 53:2b, “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.” All this tells us is that Jesus’ appearance was just like any other man – He was ordinary looking. Most of the images we have of Jesus are probably very inaccurate. Jesus was a Jew, so He likely had very tan skin, dark eyes, and dark hair. This is a far cry from the blond-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned Jesus in most modern pictures."

Simple Answer:\n\nActually a study was done on this and as it turns out the first portrait of Jesus was considered to have come from the shroud of Turin (The famout burial shroud of Christ supposedly bearing His image). Immediately all portraits and paintings mimicked the likeness on the shroud. Later on European Catholics dominated in power and portraits began resembling them because they believed that they were the "true" Christians so surely Jesus looked more like them than anyone else.\n\nJesus most likely looked like an Israeli Jew, but because most Christians are not Jewish Jesus' image began to descend farther and farther away from the Jewish likeness and more towards the predominant denomination, European Christians.\n\nHope thish helps.

We are saying that the story of Jesus was probably embellished alot down the line. Perhaps he did not claim to be the son of god, maybe he was just a prophet or political activist who gained people's admiration - and ended up being persecuted by the politicians of the time for spreading his political message.

This is only a theory, \nbut when Constantine and the Council of Nicaea canonised the Bible, they weren't too kind to the Jews. They didn't want anything to do with them as they felt Jews were beneath them. So they made it known, separated Easter from Passover, introduced the death penalty for ministering Judaism, same for those listening, coined the term 'Christ Killers' and basically treated them like dirt, and the same went for their Prophet and Book. \nAfter changing words in the Bible, adding to it (words like 'begotten' meaning to sire or father), calling Jesus a son of God - which was more powerful than having a Prophet who was only spoken to by God, they then started to regain their power back away from the people.... and all because some guy called Jesus had stirred up plenty of trouble for Rome by giving out free medicals and telling them to believe in One God that created all of us.\nThey set out to burn any Bible that didn't match their own and kill anyone who wouldn't accept the new doctrine - crusades. \nThe God of Constantine in the NT would certainly be more merciful than the God of the Moses in the OT.... it says so, as written by powerful political men of the 4th Century.\n:)

Jesus wasn't white, he was a Jew, and from what I've read, he was probably black or very dark-skinned.

First the nazis said that all Jews look alike, and that the way they look was obvious to anyone who was not a Jew. Then they made the Jews wear the Star of David in order to distinguish them from non-Jews!

Jews were expecting a King, a man of great wealth to come.  When Jesus came, born as a poor human carpenter son, they didn't except him as the messiah.  Jews today are still waiting for the Messiah to come.  Thats whats taught to them. It was hard for them in the old testament to believe in something they couldn't see or touch.  That is why God sent his son down.  Jesus is God in human form.  There is only on God, just in three seperate forms.  God, Jesus and the Holy spirit.

If by "another prophet" you are referring to Jesus, I want to clarify that the Jews did not kill Jesus.  The Romans killed Jesus.  Of course, there were Jews who supported that action, because Jesus was causing a potential danger to them.  If Jesus claimed to be the Messiah, what did that mean to the Romans?  It meant that this Jesus felt himself to be the next king of Israel who would throw off the Romans!  So no wonder the Romans wanted him out of the picture.  But the Jews themselves did not want this kind of animosity.  They didn't want any more trouble with the Romans than they already had.\n\nAs far as the prophets ended with the killing of Zacharias......could we not say that Jesus was referring to those who came before him, since he was still alive?  Why would he include himself when he was not dead yet?\n\nAnd yes, Jesus was a prophet.  A prophet is more than a future-teller, although Jesus did do that.  A prophet is a messenger who tells the people God's will.  How can you all deny that Jesus was a prophet?

I believe so.  Christians follow Jesus as their savior.  Their savior just happens to be Jewish.  He took part in these observances.
