Why is it in here? Well, there are a couple of reasons it’s in here. One is to show how quickly God’s judgement on ...read more

Who Killed Jesus?

Contributed by James Buchanan on Mar 6, 2004

Dealing with the movie, "The Passion of the Christ", it deals with the question of who was really responsible for Jesus’ crucifixion.
