Did Paul Think the Jews Killed Jesus?

The Bridge Builders Forum ·

2025/04/03

Send us a text The Apostle Paul has been used to support a longstanding viewpoint that assigns a timeless responsibility for Jesus’ death to “the Jews.” This has led to countless Jewish people being persecuted for being “Christ-killers,” even in modern times. One of the texts used to justify the continuous, generational guilt of “the Jews” for killing Jesus is found in the letters of Paul. 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 has the Jews killing Jesus…and opposing all mankind… And some satisfacti...

Purim, Paul, and the Spirit of Amalek

The Bridge Builders Forum ·

2025/03/13

Send us a text Many Jews and a growing number of Christians have great affection for the Jewish holiday of Purim. Purim is also a somber reminder of the ongoing presence of what Jewish tradition refers to as “the spirit of Amalek.” In the book of Exodus, “Amalek” was a nation that attacked the Jewish people without cause. So in Jewish thinking, “Amalek” represents a timeless antisemitic force that seeks to undermine God’s faithfulness by persecuting and destroying the Jewish people.&nb...
