Opposing Views on the Death of Jesus
By Art Katz0DEU 24:16MAT 27:24MRK 15:15LUK 23:4JHN 19:10Art Katz addresses the contentious issue of Jewish culpability in the death of Jesus, referencing Leo M. Abrami's argument that the majority of Jews lived outside Palestine and thus cannot be held responsible. He critiques Robert Urekew's assertion that the Passion accounts are fictional, emphasizing that the execution was a Roman decision based on Jesus' claim to be the Messiah, independent of Jewish influence. Katz warns against the dangers of dismissing the Gospels as mere propaganda, highlighting the faith of millions that relies on their historical validity. He argues that such revisionism not only undermines the truth of the Gospel but also perpetuates a misunderstanding of the events surrounding Jesus' death.
