You could claim to be God.

I could claim to be God.

But, of course, that's where Easter comes in because Jesus not only claimed to be God, but then after being crucified, three days later he returns from the dead.

And thus proves he is who he claimed to be.

Yeah, they encouraged the crucifixion of Jesus, yes.

Yeah, it's inconceivable to me that any Christian could be anti-Semitic.

Jesus was Jewish.

Jesus' followers were Jewish.

The Christian religion is an outflow of the Jewish religion.

It is a fulfillment of the ancient prophecies that were made centuries before Jesus was born in Bethlehem that pointed toward the Messiah.

And Jesus fit those prophecies just like a fingerprint

So I don't know how anybody who's a follower of Jesus could be anti-Semitic.

It's not the Jewish people as a group who got together and said, let's kill Jesus.

That's not what happened.

There was a leadership at the time, these Pharisees and Sadducees who were upset about his teachings and so forth, who instigated and pushed for his execution.

The Romans went along with it and implemented the death penalty in his case.

But when I see reports of antisemitism among people who claim to be Christians, I go, what are you talking about?

What faith are you putting your trust in here?

You know, so, yeah.

What's the difference?
