1. Film showing Jesus going to the gas chamber in Aucshwitz
Joy Erdile ,   Vancouver Canada   (04.19.14)
There is nothing about this film that is acceptable. It is an offense to the Jewish people. Messianic Jews and Gentile Christians such as myself are put in the position where it is necessary to apologise on behalf of those that produce such a thing. I don't know and am in no way affiliated with this group but ask forgiveness on behalf of those that have produced this film. Please accept my apology on their behalf.
2. Dear (so-called) 'Jews for Jesus'
Susan ,   USA   (04.19.14)
No offense but my people paid a big price being called 'Christ Killers' so no, Christ was not nor never had been a victim of the Shoah. Why do you think we Jews were led to the chambers anyway? NO, Jesus was not just 'another Jew' whose only escape from that man made horror was through the chimneys of the camps. (wafting through the nostrils of the perpetrators and those who stood by and did nothing) Woo....for this you try to convert me? The only victims of the Shoah were my family and fellow Jews....innocent all. Thank you creators of Christianity for insuring Antisemitism remain the longest living hate on earth. Please, stay the he** away from me and mine.
3. Jesus did not die for anyone's sins
CJK   (04.19.14)
jesus died because he rebelled against rome. jews will never accept the false idea that jesus was the son of god or that anyone but the individual sinner can get forgivness through acts of teshuva. hashem forgives those who renounce their sins and return to the ways of the righteous. individual responsibility is one of the core principles of judaism.
4. Past and Present
Zechariah   (04.19.14)
Jews was born a Jewish Person and was cruely Executed Believing in the One G-D by Pagan Roman Soldiers the Roman Empire the Nazis admiredso Greatly .In holland after a General Strike against Nazi anti Jewish Policies the Nazis Rounded up Jews who Converted to Christianity and deported them to death by Horrific Transport and Gas Poison.You don't have to believe Jesus was The Messiah but that he was a Martyr there is no Question.
5. disgusting!
Phoenix ,   Israel   (04.20.14)
Christians never learn to respect the fact that we Jews don't have different faith and beliefs. This exploitation of the Holocaust its insulting and disgusting.
6. Jesus who came to Auschwitz for our sins
Ezra ,   USA   (04.20.14)
Anything to validate the religion. If that's the case, can someone film a progression of 10 million Jews draggin crosses around before Pilate the governor? Since JC is grossly outnumbered, its significance is minimized.
7. Hitler killed TWELVE MILLION CHRISTIANS and SIX MILLION JEWS
Rivkah   (04.20.14)
and you ask why Yahoshua the Messiah who was and is and always will be Jewish, who is called Christ by Saturday Sabbath Christians (real believers not the Sunday Sabbath of Emperor Constantine sungod JeZeus followers).
8. Dumb
Arn ,   Yehud. Israel   (04.19.14)
Dumb.
9. No Shame...
Yossi ,   Judea   (04.19.14)
These people have no shame - they have no knowledge of history, no knowledge of Torah, their delusion is total. "...I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, you shall have no other gods before Me...! The God who brought his people out of Egypt was not a man. These fools worship a man-god - I pity them.
10. the root of much evil
CJK   (04.19.14)
christianity is the root of much evil. christians have persecuted jews for almost two thousand years. christian claims that jews murdered their god is part of their dogma. christians have been trying to convert jews for well over a thousand years and many jews were burnt at the stake fand expelled for their refusal to do so. it is ironic that christians would portray nazis as separate and opposed to christianity given that most top nazis came from religious christian homes. christians should ponder the miracle of the jewish state of israel which was reborn after so much christian perescution, against all odds. while christians were slaughtering millions of people, including each other, and native americans, jews were preparing their return to zion.
11. You're the ones who got this monotheistic ball rolling, CJK
Cameron ,   USA   (04.20.14)
Remember, you always had the free option to collectively pack up and establish yourselves in the other Muslim & pagan lands over the centuries.
12. Jesus died for all mankind!
(04.20.14)
Story of Jesus is absolute truth. And Jews for Jesus can only speed up return of Jesus Christ.
13. Excuse me!?
David ,   Tel Aviv   (04.20.14)
Hello there. I'm a Jew, I believe you can have your opinion. But I totally disagree with you.
14. Jesus=Yeshua
David ,   Tel Aviv   (04.20.14)
Jesus is just a way to say Yeshua. Don't add to it a meaning it doesn't really have, please. Some keep the Saturday, some keep the Sunday to the Lord. Let it be, don't try to decide what 'real believers' do and don't. You're not their master, how can you judge them?
15. Yours..?
David ,   Tel Aviv   (04.20.14)
So you believe Jesus was responsible for all that? I don't agree with you. I agree that human nature was responsible for that terrible thing. We're all capable of that. I don't believe we're innocent, really. The Law/Torah (that same one that makes us 'Jews') makes us guilty and in need of a sacrifice for atonement. I believe Jesus paid that price. And if you think that Jesus is anti-semitism, you've clearly never given a read to the new testament which happens to be completely based on the Torah.
16. Amen to that, but...
David ,   Tel Aviv   (04.20.14)
What about atonement. Please don't tell me prayer and good deeds because that's not what the Torah says. Leviticus 17:11
17. Devoted Christians might not want to admit this
HH ,   Jerusalem   (04.20.14)
But according to Christian doctrine: All our holy martyrs who were slain in the Holocaust are now burning in hell if they died without accepting Jesus. All the sadists, torturerers, mass-murderers and war criminals are in Heaven if they accepted Jesus before they died or were executed by a court of law. So spare us the supposedly poignant video with the heartrending music.
18. To #15: New Testament based on the Torah?
Zvika ,   Jerusalem   (04.20.14)
And what do you say to Matthew 23:33, and I quote: "You serpents, you generation of vipers, how can you escape the damnation of hell?" And we all know that Jesus was speaking about the "Pharises," i.e., the Torah Sages. Is this marvelous, tolerant verse also based on the Torah?
19. This is horrible
Yonah ,   Haifa israel   (04.20.14)
Someone owes 6,000,000 Jewish souls an apology. This is bizarre and twisted and a blatant lie.
20. # 12 Not so,
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (04.20.14)
No man knows the hour.. not even "Jews for Jesus." Jews once has 'scape gots' now? Excuses?
21. # 9 Your right!
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (04.20.14)
Thou shalt have no other G-d before me. Seems to me that if the "Christians' wanted to emulate Jesus they'd be Jews. Jesus came to the Jews and was rejected and then everyone else claimed him.. Amazing. KEEP BUILDING !!!
22. # 11 So did the pals who thought they'd steal all of Israel
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (04.20.14)
while the Jews were scattered. They thought wrong and today, are broke, and divided into two hell holes instead of one. KEEP BUILDING !!!!
23. # 16 Hmm, Judaism has changed
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (04.20.14)
no more animal sacrifice and no more Levite Priests ( sons of Aaron) maybe that's why Jesus was so zealous? Judaism had changed then and those changes affect "Catholics' more than protestants ( although they ally ) and Jews aren't worshipping the same.
24. Jesus
Marilyn ,   USA   (04.21.14)
Jesus was there when everything was falling down in Jerusalem and with the temple. And usually when people are reacting to what they might potentially percieve as a hopeless situation or are under a lot of stress, they don't always make the best decisions. Sometimes they just react. And we've all done it. However people have time to think and really investigate things now.
25. The idea of a compassionate Messiah who knows our pain.
Valerie Stockemer ,   Hutchinson, Ks   (04.21.14)
The reality of a Messiah who knows, feels, and understands our pain and suffering is reasurring for me and for many. I know that I have a Savior who took it all on my behalf and does not and did not want evil to come upon me or others but came that we might have life. Satan tries to destroy us. Not our Jewish Messiah. Much love to my Jewish and Gentile brothers and sisters. Shalom.
26. I think maybe what they are
Shirley ,   USA   (04.21.14)
trying to say is that the Nazis were not the Evangelical type of Christians that support Israel. The Evangelicals support Israel and Jewish charities. I have been told by some Evangelicals that the Nazis were not real Christians, so maybe that's what this is about?
27. 18 Zvika, Jerusalem: The Pharisees that Yahoshua spoke that
Rivkah   (04.21.14)
to did not know the time of their visitation from Elohim. This is Torah since Yahoshua is the Torah in human form. He is the Word of Elohim. Moses was 80 when his day of Elohim's visitation came. If he had refused to be circumcised along with his sons, he could not have led the Hebrews out of Egypt. The Pharisees of the time of Yahoshua who were falsely accusing Him and persecuting Him and demanding His death were missing the day of Elohim's visitation in their lives which made them permanent members of Satan's kingdom, children of the devil as Yahoshua called them. They could not escape the damnation of hell for failing to know the day of Elohim's visitation in their lives. They sent themselves to hell. But not all Pharisees in that time were calling for the death of Yahoshua. Nicodemus and Josef of Arimathea and Zachius, to name a few, were eternally saved and are in Elohim's kingdom.
28. 2 Susan, USA: Jews for Jesus are not those who killed Jews.
Rivkah   (04.21.14)
I can assure you that 100% or nearly so of those in Adolf Hitler's government who persecuted and killed the Jews and twice as many Christians went to hell. Elohim has avenged the Jews for the persecutions they have suffered. Read John McTernon's book, "As America Has Done to Israel", to see the catastrophic consequences of pressuring Israel to give up land for peace. Elohim does defend Israel and the Jews or the State of Israel would have been destroyed in 1948, 1967, 1973 and many other times in history when Jews were attacked or forced to leave lands. Spain has been poor since the Jews were expelled from Spain. That ended their world power status since Elohim would not protect the Spanish Armada but let it be destroyed in a war with England. When Britain renigged on the Balfour Declaration, the loss of world power status was the consequence. Look what happened to the Orthodox and White Russians under the Jewish Communist government of Josef Stalin! The Jews slaughtered 30 million or more non-Jews in Russia after the pogroms of the Tzars persecuted a lot of Jews. Believe me, the Jews have gotten more revenge than they were persecuted. Look what happened to a million German soldiers after WWII who were left in a field to die of thirst and starvation by General Dwight David Eisenhower who was called "That terrible Swedish Jew" in his Howitzer USMA West Point year book. Jews are far more bloodthirsty when not under the influence of Elohim than nonJews are. I wish that was not so, but look what they do when they are in control and know not Elohim! They slaughter nonJews! Jews in positions of authority in many lands have persecuted nonJews. But conversion to a Emperor Constantine paganized Christianity is not the answer. Converting to a Messianic Jewish belief in Yahoshua is the answer for Israel and for all Jews and nonJews.
29. 2 Susan, USA: Adolf Hitler was the grandson of a Jew.
(04.21.14)
So it was Jew who killed your family and millions of others who were not Jews. No one hates Jews like a Jew who is not in step with Elohim.
30. Lashon hora
Jerusalem   (04.21.14)
Because there are better ways to communicate with amicable Jewish Scripture verses, like King Solomon's prayer dedicating the 1st Temple, because the Holocaust and Christianity are divisive subjects for some people and as how the definition of tacky is "Distasteful or offensive; tasteless", this is not a good interfaith or intrafaith message. There are still expectations we have in common for the future that haven't been realized. An unknown Levi, could be Christian, is expected to fulfill prophesy and return to Levi brethren to fulfill the rest.
