MTG Cites Antisemitic Fable Jews ‘Handed Over’ Jesus To Be Killed

It's all fables.

Religion ruins everything.

You have people like this saying actual antisemitic shit over and over and over again and they are elected to office.

And then it's people that want the country of Israel, to at least pretend to try to not kill scores of civilians and they get called antisemitic.

It is perpetually disappointing the extent to which so many people who claim to be Christians fail to understand even the CliffsNotes version of the Gospel.

Jesus' arrest was probably bound to happen sooner or later though. As noted Biblical scholar Andrew Zaltzman has often pointed out, Pontius Pilate was a law and order administrator, and Jesus was absolutely guilty under the law at the time.

I don't understand this headline. If you believe the Bible how is it it a myth that the Jews handed over Jesus to be killed?

You have to pay attention, the headline isn't talking about the Jews killing Jesus, but rather HANDED OVER which is precisely what happens in Mathew 26:47.

There's no confusion about why Jewish leadership arrested and handed him over either, they were involved in a conspiracy to do that in order to get him killed. This is blatantly clear in Mathew 26:3.

I absolutely despise MTG but surely I'm not the only whose noticed that this whole article is twisted?

The amount of dumb in that assertion.

It hurts my head.

Jesus was a Jew named Joshua who was against money lending in the temple.

That's the historically accurate Jesus though, and not the M16 wielding anti-Semite white Jesus, who's look seems to say "WTF IS A KILOMETER!!!!" as eagles swoop on high.

You know, fake Jesus.

The Romans get a pass for some reason.

Realistically, nobody was going to blame the dominant culture that ended up spreading the plague, I mean, Christianity.

To MTG: you're white and white people owned slaves, so you're directly responsible for slavery.

I’m just so exhausted.

Is she thanking them? Jesus had to die for Christianity to exist.

So wait. Given the Republicans just ‘trapped’ the Democrats into voting for the stupid ‘working definition of Antisemitism’ as a federal guideline, can we flip the table and trap them into a vote to censure/eject her from Congress?

I’d bet there’s a non-zero headcount among the Republicans who’d be happy to boot her, and if not there’s a lot of headlines to run about the “GOP defends virulent anti-Semite in own party”

Religion is the greatest evil that has ever existed, and has caused more human suffering than anything else. So I’m finding it very difficult to care that you’re hurt that she’s saying your fairy tale killed her fairy tale. You’re children, arguing over imaginary friends and running to the rest is us like we’re supposed to feel sorry for you.

Everything about Jesus is a fable so why call out this part specifically as fable?

On behalf of those of us who found Jesus to be a lackluster prophet, thank you. /s

If we assume Jesus was historically real - let me be clear that I don't really care who was responsible for his death 2000 years ago. (which Christians believe was required for their own salvation anyhow).

I have never understood why anyone would hold modern Jews (or any Jews at all that weren't present and involved) responsible for Jesus' death.

Having said that, I have grown up believing it was more or less true that yes the Jews did kill Jesus. (But again, so what?)

This post spurred me to do some duck duck going. I found these two articles interesting. At least I can see the basis for it now. For anyone else coming at this with a similar understanding:

https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/who-killed-jesus/

https://www.npr.org/2011/03/04/134264425/Pope-Jews-Are-Not-Responsible-For-Killing-Jesus

I will say that the first article does a pretty good job of setting up the case for why people believe that. (Unlike the second which kinda surprisingly acts like no one should ever have thought that in the first place.)

Again, even if every person involved in Jesus' death had been Jewish, and even if Jesus were the actual earthly incarnation of God as his son, I have never seen any basis to lay this at the feet of modern Jews. But now I know more about it than I did.

Doesn't the antisemitism awareness act make criticism of Israel illegal? Maybe her reason for opposing it is stupid but it should be opposed.

Part of me wants to make a joke about it being the Italians, but no, this is serious antisemitism and it cannot be taken lying down or joking.

Those of us who are not Jewish need to be preparing to fight the antisemites in whatever ways we must to ensure the safety and security of our neighbors.

Shouldn't she be more scared of us? We have a space laser and we killed God according to her. What would possess her to cross us?

In my mind was MTG, "Magic The Gathering". And I was highly concerned what they are up to again.

Channeling her inner Mel Gibson

Never go full Mel Gibson.

But if Jesus wasn't killed, Christians would be doomed, so why are you mad that he was killed?

Of course she did lmao

I grew up in one church that loved to talk about "the synagogues of satan" and other "fun" stuff like that, so I don't think anything like that is uncommon (particularly in Baptist circles, but probably also outside of it). Some of the kids I grew up with would say "that's Jewish" for something uncool. Pretty sure there parents were full-on anti-Semitic white supremacists. This wasn't even in the south. Glad to be out of that shithole.

The Bible is an "antisemitic fable"? Well thats half right.

According to the Washington Post, backers described the bill as designed to help the federal government crack down on the protests, which they see as having antisemitic elements. Some Democrats objected and argued it was an effort to restrict political protest.

The measure passed by a vote of 320-91 on Wednesday.

Is this real? Because I'm pretty sure that was a South Park episode ....

I'd like to not be reminded that this cunt exists and got breezed into Congress. We know anything she does and says is blunt catering to the psychos in the country.

Ah yes, the Christ-like compassion of MTG.

I thought you meant the card game...

Is it really as funny as chopping off the foreskins of children though ?

Not the ideal way to get her cancelled but I'm not complaining.

I wonder whats her stance on Israel/Palestine war after saying this stuff

"Christians" have been systematically mis-interpreting their bible for centuries.

Here is the Complete Jewish Bible's rendition of a particular phrase used in Revelations, which implies, clear as day, that "those who call themselves Christians, but are a temple of _________" is equally valid

https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=call+themselves+jews&version=CJB

"Christians" read John, read that he called benJoseph :"rabbi", repeatedly, read that benJoseph called biblical-legalists "Hypocrites!" repeatedly, and ?won't? understand that John was criticizing the "Jews", ( with falsifying-quotes, which hadn't been invented yet ), and not Jews,

and instead of accepting that John was criticizing/attacking the false "Jews", the biblical-legalists who contempted everything in Isaiah & legally convicted benJoseph to get rid of him,

..they went around murdering Jews ( the Catholic Inquisition was waging war against both women & Jews, ttbomk ).and had the gall to be doing it, in their words, "in the name of the king of Jews".

Ideological-gymnastics, not proper reasoning, right?

IF the repeated-throughout-scripture claim that God/OceanOfAllAwakeSouls provides help at every change between Ages

( between Age of Taurus & Age of Aries was Moses,

between Age of Aries & Age of Pisces was benJoseph,

one might presume that benDavid would be now-ish,

& Metatron/Alpha+Omega would then be at the punctuation between the Age of Aquarius & the Age of Capricorn )

if that promised-help is true/real, then the false-Jews, false-Christians, false-Muslims, false-Buddhists, false-Hindus, etc, would be walking into a kind of trap: what they're sowing, they're going to be reaping, aka Karma, involuntarily & .. rather-long-term, right?

My apologies to you for being accused by "Christians", & others, who reject the actual-evidence available before their own eyes.

If it's any consolation, the rabid on this world, who worship their-own-ideology/prejudice,

instead of what the various scriptures were alluding-to,

would seem to be the vast majority of the world's population, which is going to be making the rest of this century turn into an ocean of attrition, on all sides.

Nobody's going to be escaping the lesson.

Any remnant of humanity who survives, is going to be profoundly changed by the experience of what's being set-up, these years.

PS: I'm holding that real Jew is like Isaiah, with spirit-centered/anchored values,

& false "Jew" is like the biblical-legalists, or Netanyahu's ilk, with other "values"..

& real Christian is like some Christian medical-missionaries who just go live somewhere & help, letting their religion show through their devoted life,

whereas the false "Christians" are the ones who "read" the bible, then attack "woke" ( benJoseph was the "wokest" guy in the New Testament ) "socialist" ( benJoseph provided free healthcare to anyone who'd spiritually-earned it, & gave free food to thousands, right? Socialist as can be ) progressives.

While mom tried making me Catholic, when I discovered that I'd earned some Soul-memories of previous-lives, that weren't human lives, then all the Abrahamic religions were nuked, for me:

Empiricism's the only religoin that MUST lead to one's Soul, one's "kingdom of GOD, within", as benJoseph called it, one's CellOfGod.

Either empiricism works, or all Universe is just an arbitrary rigged scam, obviously, right?
