Yes but we still don’t want to unnecessarily encourage hatred of one group against another. 

 

  

We agree, I'm just saying I don't think we have a problem with this.  I've never in my life heard from the platform any particular emphasis on Jews killing Jesus (let alone tying that to modern Jews) and I've never heard the term "Christ killers" being used in the congregation - that's Christendom. I don't think we need to show any extra care because it doesn't appear to be a problem in the first place. The entire concept of being resentful to modern-day Jews for the greatest gift to mankind does not make one ounce of sense to me. 

 

Quote

Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a certainty that God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you executed on a stake.” 37 Now when they heard this, they were stabbed to the heart, and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: “Men, brothers, what should we do?”  38 Peter said to them: “Repent, and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the free gift of the holy spirit.  39 For the promise is to you and your children, and to all those who are far away, to all those whom Jehovah our God may call to himself.”  40 And with many other words he gave a thorough witness and kept exhorting them, saying: “Get saved from this crooked generation.”  41 So those who gladly accepted his word were baptized, and on that day about 3,000 people were added.  42 And they continued devoting themselves to the teaching of the apostles, to associating together, to the taking of meals, and to prayers

If the people who were directly involved in the death of Jesus were forgiven at the time, why would any reasonable person conclude it's ok to blame all Jews thousands of years later? It's utter nonsense.

Another stabbing, this time in Perth, by a radicalised 16 year old who was being monitored already as an extremist and was engaged in a state run ant-extremist program (which clearly didn’t work).

 

This young man sent text messages of his intent to those in the Muslim community, who contacted police about his intentions, but they were “not able to interfere, as the boy had not committed any crimes”. Until he did.

 

On Saturday night he went to a major hardware store and randomly stabbed a man in the back. He had already called police to say he was going to commit an act of violence, so police were quick on the scene. Though he was tasered twice, he didn’t stop lunging at the police with a large knife. And police shot him dead.

 

These random stabbings are becoming more prevalent as the hideous system produces more and more deranged radicalised religionists. Though they are not calling this one a terrorist attack, like the Sydney mass stabbing just a few weeks ago, it still has created unrest and uneasiness in our multicultural society.

At this age shouldn’t he be enjoying and looking forward to live his life? Radical Islam creating problems all around the world … one major incident (dirty bomb etc) and nations will realise that false religion and “normal” life cannot coexist.

Sounds like he was suicidal and needed a cause to justify it. Look at these college kids being radicalized even supporting a terrorist group….under the guise of “free Palestine”. Their tactic is to force people to do what they want whatever that requires…..including hurting innocent people.
