The Jews were not allowed to kill anyone under Roman law, so they had to ask the Romans to kill Jesus. All of the gospels point out that Pontius Pilot did not want to kill Jesus. The Jews insisted Jesus be killed. The blood of Jesus is on the hands of the Jews. However that was God's plan and we shouldn't persecute the Jews for it. Today's Jews had nothing to do with killing Jesus. They are no more responsible for killing Jesus that modern Christians are for the Crusades.

@andrewhillca The Jews did not ask the Romans to kill Jesus.

[andrewhillca]

@terabrat Uh, yes they did. Read the New Testament, it is well documented.

Thank you. I also learned that what was called virgin was actually young woman. Also, I learned that Jesus being divinity was done with a show of hands about the same time that Sabbath was changed to Sunday and all the other paganism was adopted to become the "christianity" we are familiar with today.

..and the original followers of the way were considered a jewish sect.

He didn't come to destroy the law, he did keep the Sabbath and so did his followers, and he didn't come to cleanse pigs.

The lost tribes have to return where and to what...and could an individual represent the "Tribe"...sorry for the very uneducated question...I am trying to understand this. It is important for me to understand becuase as I ahave said on your other video: I really feel a srong push towards the Jewish faith.

[Kittenkattan]

Okay. I am going to PM you this because it would take up too many comments.

Speak to you soon.

John.

[imitator777]

[AwakeAndDangerous]

Kitten I know this will sound stupid but Im not jewish, but what exactly is a Rabbi and what is the job of a Rabbi?

[Kittenkattan]

Not a stupid question. Rabbi literally means "Teacher". There are many types of Rabbis. There are Rabbis who make sure food is kosher. And guys like me that are like pastors. I can marry people, start a congregation, etc. But, in Judaism, each is responsible for there faith and practice. Rabbis, are people who study the "Old Testament" and help with answering questions like the ones I did in my videos. Great question. Thank you.

[morethan20]

Thanks, Im going to watch some of the videos, Ive always been curious of the jewish faith.

[terabrat]

@Kittenkattan Rabbi is a scholar. Rav means great- someone with great knowledge. Rabbi's traditionally make judgments when there is a lack of clarity in the law. on Teacher is a "melamed".

Fasting is the best way to clean out your body naturally along with distilled water. I think every one needs to satiate themselves with nutrition (will reduce doctor visits).

[Kittenkattan]

Have you been speaking to my wife? LOL!

Yes, it is good for you, but, that is not why Hebrew people have done it. It is for the purpose of becoming closer to G-d. But, being clean on the inside is as good if not better then being clean on the outside.

Peace.

[crasster1]

It's interesting though, because from everything I have read, the original authors of the New Testament WROTE the books in Greek, not Hebrew.

The word for "Virgin Birth" would have had to been translated back into Hebrew from the Greek.

But that is what I have read... And who knows....

Thanks for the video. I knew you'd get a lot of emails, comments, & questions. When one talks of religion, comments & questions start to flow big time.

[Kittenkattan]

I didn't realize that so many people had questions like these? Sorry for coming off so strong. I watched the video and I feel bad that it looked like I was yelling at you. That was not my intent. I apologize.

[Arginine88]

Yell away man it keeps attention span longer, but if that is yelling I would hate to see you calm! I think I would have to turn the treble all the way up.

[Bassmarko]

Thank you for taking the time, I have learned much from you and your videos. Looking forward to future videos and may send a question. Thanks again.
