Who Killed Jesus — And Why It Matters for Christian Zionism

Origins of Christian Zionism, How It Corrupted American Chr… · Jun 22, 2026 Religion & Spirituality

The Apostle Peter's first sermon opens with 'Men of Israel — this Jesus Christ whom ye crucified.' The Romans crucified him physically, but within decades Rome converted to Christianity at mass scale; many Jews who witnessed the resurrection persisted in persecution, stoning Stephen. Hall uses this to argue that the scripture's emphasis on Jewish culpability isn't ethnic hatred — it's a distinction between those who repented and those who didn't.

Jesus Praised Pagan Faith — and Who Really Killed Him

At 26:20 · chapter starts 16:40

Tucker notes that Jesus repeatedly lifted up Gentile faith as exemplary — praising the Roman centurion's belief above anything he'd seen in Israel, ministering to the Samaritan woman — before asking about the contentious 'who killed Jesus' question that periodically ignites online debates. Hall walks through the scriptural record: Peter's first sermon explicitly told 'Men of Israel' that they crucified Jesus; the Pharisees plotted his death from the moment Lazarus was raised; the Sanhedrin covered it up. The Romans physically carried out the crucifixion, and Jesus forgave them from the cross. The deeper point is what happened next: within decades, the Roman people experienced mass conversions; by the third century Rome was Christianized. The Jewish leadership that rejected Jesus instead stoned Stephen, persecuted the early church, and eventually had to invent a new religion after the temple fell in 70 AD.

Rastafari Meets Reggae: Rita Marley's Conversion

Reggae: Kingston’s Gift to the World · Aug 6, 2026 Religion & Spirituality

Before 1966, Rastafarians were seen as fringe weirdos in Jamaica. Then Haile Selassie made a state visit, awarded medals to Rastafarian preachers, and overnight the movement gained legitimacy. Rita Marley converted on the spot — and her influence wired Rastafari directly into the Wailers' music.

Christian Ethics vs. Progressive Ethics: The Moral Anchor Problem

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 Religion & Spirituality

Christianity gives people a fixed moral value to move toward. Progressive secular ideology revises its moral canon based on whoever is most radical and charismatic at the time. Without a fixed foundation, you get micro-cults and moral relativism — and no pathway to redemption for anyone who falls out of favor.
