Quoting Tom Albrecht:
**You are incorrect.  The Jews crucified their Messiah at the hands of the
**Romans.  Please see Acts 2:36.

    You see things the way you WANT to--removing all blame and placing
it at the feet of Jews.  It is you that is incorrect, and that all the
way down to the heart. The sin of mankind crucified the Messiah--ALL
men.

    Luke 18:31-34   Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto
them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and ALL THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN BY
THE PROPHETS CONCERNING THE SON OF MAN SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED.
    {32} For he shall be DELIVERED UNTO THE GENTILES, and shall be
mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: {33} And they shall
scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
{34} And they understood none of these things: AND THIS SAYING WAS HID
FROM THEM, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

    If the events to unfold were hid from the inner circle, how much
more were they hid from the nation of Israel?  "Blindness in part has
BEFALLEN Israel", which was also of prophetic origin and purpost. As
it was "written by the prophets" in order that "ALL things" in the
ETERNAL PURPOSE of G-d might be fulfilled.

    According to your system of judgement, you would throw to the book
at one who hired a hit man while letting the trigger man go scot free.
If you do not see that the Messiah was put to death by the sins of ALL
men, then your understanding has STILL not been penetrated by the things
the L-rd revealed in the verses above.  Gal 3:22   But the scripture
hath CONCLUDED ALL under sin, THAT the *promise by faith* of Yeshua
Messiah MIGHT BE GIVEN to them that believe.

    These things were "accomplished" according to Divine Purpose and it
is only arrogance that can stand back and maintain our G-d is one that
would call out a people unto Himself, entrust them with the Word of His
Law, make ETERNAL promises to them with NO STRINGS ATTACHED, and finally
producing His Messiah through THEIR loins---all for the purpose of
demonstrating what rotten bums they were, so he could ditch them for the
idolatrous heathen!?  NO WAY, Tom!  Wake up to the heart of G-d!

    "They did not stumble so as to fall, did they?  May it never be!"
(Ro 11:11).  While this nation did indeed STUMBLE, yet she did NOT FALL!
"For if *their rejection* be the reconciliation of the world, what will
THEIR ACCEPTANCE be but life from the dead?" (Ro 11:15)  Paul obviously
expected a future healing and acceptance....but that is not YOUR
judgement of the matter....you think you are doing G-d a favor by making
murderous accusations against the Jews!  Even Yeshua did not do this,
but said, Father forgive them, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!
    "Have you not observed what this people have spoken, saying, 'The
two families which the Lord chose, He has rejected them?'  Thus they
despise My people, no longer are they as a nation in their sight' (Jere
33:24).
    This verse certainly pinpoints your judgement!  Well go on and read
the following verses, Tom!  Jere 33:25-26:
    "IF My covenant for day and night stand NOT, and the fixed patterns
of heaven and earth I have NOT ESTABLISHED, THEN I would reject the
descendants of Jacob and David MY servant, not taking from his
descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
BUT I WILL ***RESTORE*** THEIR FORTUNES AND ***WILL*** HAVE MERCY ON
THEM!

    The issue of your heart defiles you, Tom.  Do you think G-d is
pleased with your blatant hatred of those He calls "My people", the "two
families which the Lord chose"?  Your selective reading of the scripture
is tragic; but as you have judged, SO shall you be judged.  The covenant
of promise was not opened to Gentiles so you could then exalt yourself
over the Jew.  Wake up!
