Were the Jews really responsible for the death of Jesus?-- Did the writers of the New Testament falsely accuse the Jews of causing the death of Jesus?-- Contrary to Church thinking, did the Jews actually favor Jesus and support his movement?-- Independently-researched reference notes document the historical validity of this story.Jews, including the disciples, followed Jesus and practiced Mosaic law. Paul replaced this with a belief in sacrificial death. Amid rejected love, incestuous royalty, decadent emperors and Jewish-Roman war, the conflict between two groups of Jesus-followers evolved into a new religion. Paul, competing with Peter, slandered all Torah followers, and finally, blamed the Jews for Jesus' death.
