"Jesus Was Never Baptized" Says Passion Play Director

"I have always been sensitive to Jewish concerns that the play could perpetuate the ancient and tragically unjust misunderstanding that the Jews are responsible for the killing of Jesus," Dolan said. "But thanks to the courage of the directors, the villagers and the Jewish leaders, the script has gradually been renewed."

In other words, the bible is wrong, the apostles were wrong when they charged the Jews with condemning Jesus to die and facing coming judgement, and the OT prophets were wrong when they prophesied of the Jewish rejection of the Messiah. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with the divinely inspired word of God.

 

Here's a man that is simply making it up as he goes along. Sad!!!

 

The bible is wrong ?

Hi to all , and the bible is wrong !!! The God that created the Universe screwed up the Bible , God have mercy , and let God be true and every man a LIAR ??

What is the point , Crucifixation or Baptism ??

 

Huh? That didn't make any sense.

 

I think he's trying to be sarcastic, but it's a bit hard to follow.

 

What a silly sausage, can he not read.....evidentally not the Bible. I still have not told my mother about this as she is going to the play this year...what do you think....I mean she will have flown around the world to be cheated...can you recoup your money once paid ....

 

>"Jesus understands himself completely as a Jew. He was never baptized, he never had a First Communion, but he celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at 12 and died as a Jew on the cross,"

THIS is 100% correct. Also correct that the Jews did not have the authority to execute criminals. Neither would the Jews have crucified Jesus. They would have stoned him.

 

What ignorance. He 'WAS' baptized as says the scripture. The Jews who John baptised 'WERE' baptized. Jesus INSTITUTED the Lord's Supper AFTER the traditional Jewish meal.

Anyone who denies these either needs to come back to reading their bibles.
Most of this stems from not understanding Jewish traditions 'regarding' batpism and why it was done. Specifically understanding Johns baptism and the reason for it being done TO JEWS.
