Surely, surely at some time in their lives, maybe by accident, the evangelical has to stumble across that passage.FOS » 02 Jul 2023, 9:41 pm » wrote: ↑ Matthew 27:24-25
King James Version
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
It is recorded essentially the same in Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.
Pilate was Roman, he was a pagan, he didn’t observe the Hebrew religion. He only ordered the Crucifixion to appease the local council.
Christ was murdered for opposing all the draconian laws and commandments found in the Old Testament and replacing them with just one, new commandment:
—-
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
—-
The evangelical still believes he must placate the Council.
