Some have believed that the Jews were responsible for the death of Jesus. When you think about it, it's quite ludicrous. After all, Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi. As such he would have been offended with anyone who was anti-Semetic. Christianity was a small sect of Judaism until the time of Constantine at which point it evolved into something else. Constantine wanted to unite Europe; in fact, many people through history had tried to unite Europe. Constantine was successful when he mandated a "universal religion" which in reality was nothing like the Jewish sect that Christianity had been under Jesus. The only way to make the new "universal religion" to work was to give it ceremony, expensive trappings and a lot of mystery. The Crusades were an attempt to spread Christianity over even more of the world. Jews were hated because they held to their beliefs. Much of those attitudes have continued. A true God fearing Christian has nothing against the Jewish people. They know that this is a special People to God, and he will always protect them. The Bible says this over and over. Israel is to be protected at all cost. America, a blessed country that was founded by God fearing men, has tried to do this, but in these selfish times of greed,America has left God out, and we are truly paying the price.
