Who Killed Jesus Christ? #christianfaith #biblestudy #jewish

Sadly, the Deicide Charge is almost as old as Christianity. Second-century church father Justin Martyr was one of the first to express this belief in his Dialogue with Trypho, where he claims that Jewish suffering is God’s punishment for “murder[ing] the Just One.”[3] History records how the “Christ-killer” charge resulted in physical harm to Jewish people over the centuries. David Rausch cites one: “One Jewish man was stabbed five times by a group of Crusaders ‘in memory of the wounds suffered by Jesus.’” #biblestudy #israel #jesus #history
