From the movie, ‘An Education’<\/p>\n

Headmistress:<\/strong> Have you set a date? Have you decided on a church?
\nJenny:<\/strong> We won’t be getting married in a church. David’s Jewish.
\nHeadmistress:<\/strong> Jewish? He’s a Jew? You are aware, I take it, that the Jews killed our Lord [Jesus]?
\nJenny:<\/strong> And you’re aware, I suppose, that our Lord was Jewish?<\/p>\n

The First Jewish Paradox<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the Jews did not kill Jesus,\u00a0he would not be able to sacrifice himself,\u00a0to supposed save all who believe in his resurrection.\u00a0This means the Jews are our saviours too, that Christians should have no grounds to discriminate them.<\/p>\n

The Second Jewish Paradox<\/strong><\/p>\n

If Jews should be discriminated because they killed Jesus, Jesus should be discriminated too because he was a Jew too. Since this does not make sense, and because of the First Jewish Paradox as well, Christians should have no grounds to discriminate them.<\/p>\n

The Resolution of the Paradoxes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did Jesus die and resurrect?\u00a0Or did he not die and escaped? This is explored in this BBC documentary: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9DXCZFRsyl8<\/a>\u00a0If this is true, as much information seems to point, the paradoxes break down. It would mean that Jesus did not die crucified, and that the belief in his thereafter resurrection and ability to save all is a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
