The Jews Killed Jesus
October 6, 2008 by elcap
Or so says the oldest known bible — a 1500-year-old version known as the Codex Sinaiticus — which is now being digitized for the Internet:
According to the BBC:
For those who believe the Bible is the inerrant, unaltered word of God, there will be some very uncomfortable questions to answer. It shows there have been thousands of alterations to today’s bible.
The Codex, probably the oldest Bible we have, also has books which are missing from the Authorised Version that most Christians are familiar with today - and it does not have crucial verses relating to the Resurrection.
Among the thousands of differences discovered in the Codex:
1. Extra books in the New Testament
2. No mention of Christ’s ascention into heaven
3. Key parts of the Resurrection missing
4. Jesus gets “angry” helping a leper; modern version says “compassionate”
5. No words of forgiveness offered from the cross
If the Bible is the word of God, which one did he write?
I anticipate a joyous welcoming on the part of Christians everywhere!
BBC also states:
Many Christians have long accepted that, while the Bible is the authoritative word of God, it is not inerrant. Human hands always make mistakes.
“It should be regarded as a living text, something constantly changing as generation and generation tries to understand the mind of God,” says David Parker, a Christian working on digitising the Codex.
You are correct Elcap the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the various pogroms against the Jews during Christian history up to the Nazi Genocide did not occur by accident.
The New Testament makes it quite clear that it holds all the Jews responsible for Jesus’ death, not any particular group of Jews such as the Jewish Temple priests or the rabbis that Jesus was in conflict with as some Christian apologists have suggested, but ALL the Jews.
“Then answered ALL THE PEOPLE, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.” Read I Thessalonians 2:14-16 and Matthew 27:22-25.
It clears Pontius Pilate of any wrongdoing (John 19:11) as well as the rest of the Romans, and only holds the Jews accountable for Jesus’ death (Acts 2:36) while at the same time the NT insists that it was the most wonderful thing for mankind to have an atonement through Jesus’ death which wouldn’t have been possible if the Jews didn’t commit deicide which begs the question as to why the NT condemns the Jews in the first place. They should have been praised by the Gospels for making this wonderful atonement possible for mankind instead. No dead Jesus — no atonement for mankind.
Never mind, that these condemnations are in stark contradiction to (Genesis 12:3) which is part of Christian canon. “And I will bless those who bless you, And those who curse you I will curse …”
Consequently, because of these contradictions and numerous others in the Gospels many top scholars on Christianity question their veracity to the point of not even believing that a Jesus as described in the Gospels ever existed, and was merely a figure that Saul (Paul) of Tarsus’ invented for the start of his heretical form of Judaism.
