Hi
Tempo
Just passing through and felt compelled to offer an explanation to this point:
The Jews who killed Jesus were pleasing to God, in that they were doing what they were supposed to do. Have you ever read the old covenant? Jesus was supposed to die. It was prophesied at least 600 years before he was even born. David wrote an entire Psalm describing the Savior's agonizing death and described it exactly as it actually happened in real life. Jesus told Pilate that he would have no control over him unless the heavenly Father granted it to him. That if this wasn't what God wanted He would have sent legions of angels to protect him. Jesus was supposed to die and God used His people that He had raised up to understand the sacrifice, even though they never did, to accomplish that part of our salvation. Trust me and the Scriptures...the Jews were supposed to kill Jesus. It's what the angel speaking to Daniel was talking about when he told Daniel that his people had 69 years to bring in everlasting righteousness. That's exactly what Jesus' death did.
God bless,
Ted
>>>Hello my Friend,
Let's use the scripture to prove our point, agree?

>>>If we look at the scripture 1Thessal. 2:15
Those Jewish persecutors killed both the Lord Jesus and the Prophets, and drove us out of their midst. They are
displeasing to God and are the enemies of all mankind; 16 for they still try to prevent our preaching to the Gentiles so that they may find salvation.
This is really the opposite of what you wrote, and its written supported by the Holy Spirit.
And If we look what Jesus said regarding this subject, we have to look at Matt. 21:33
33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place. 34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.
35 “The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third. 36 Then he sent other servants to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way.
37 Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
>>> (Do you notice Respect him not killed him or beaten him)
38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance.’ 39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
41 “He will bring those
wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”
>>>(If God who assign them to do his desire and they did it to please him, why He punishing them with severe punishment?
