(John Hagee. Religión News).
Members of Congress have claimed the legislation will stifle a false theology that ‘the Jews killed Jesus.’
Deicide, the charge of killing God, has been used to justify antisemitism under the banner of the cross since shortly after the death of Christ. This deception is the genesis of church-based antisemitism.
Now, as we seek to address the widespread Jew-hatred on display across America through the Antisemitism Awareness Act, some members of Congress have begun trafficking in the blood-soaked falsehood that the Jews of Jesus’ time, and all their descendants, are responsible for his crucifixion. They have objected to the legislation, alleging the law would ban preaching the Bible or parroting the lie “the Jews killed Jesus.”
Nothing could be further from reality.
