    On the one hand, they were murderers so they should go to Hell, but on the other hand their actions were necessary in order for Christianity to come into existence so they should go to Heaven.  If you are Christian and believe that Christianity is the one true religion, then what do you think happened to Jesus's executioners?

      If such a person as Christ ever existed and the story had any credibility then - Of course they weren't murderers - any more than state employees who lethally inject for the death penalty are murderers.  Similar - it is not possible to accuse the 'Jews' for the actions of its government any more than any one ordinary unconnected US citizen can be blamed for the one million dead in Vietnam at US hands.

        It was slightly different from what you are referring to. You see Jesus was proven to be an innocent man, caesar or pontius pilate washed their hands literally of him, but the Jews demanded that he should be killed. Eventually Pilate found another way of pleading to the people, it was custom that on the passover the crowd could ask for a criminal to be released. On this account it was a man named Jesus Barabus, who was a convicted murderer.  Pilate replied "don't you want me to release your king Jesus Christ" and they shouted "we have no king but caesar"..The he replied "what do you want me to do with your king" impale him said the crowd and release Jesus Barabus the murderer.
        The then sealed their fate when they said "let his blood be upon us and upon our children"
        Maybe that's where the saying "be careful what you wish for" came from..

          Are you suggesting that the holocaust was the result of events played out in the New Testament?

            No as thousands of Jehovahs Witnesses as well as Jews suffered during the holocaust. What I meant was, because of this act, they are no longer Gods chosen people. Of course this doesn't mean that somebody who is Jewish would not be recognised if they accepted Christ. It means that they as a nation have lost Yahweh/Jehovahs favour for rejecting the promised messiah.

          The 'story' does not change anything.  The executioners were supposed to be soldiers and so just doing a job.

          The story does not change anything. The Jews as a whole people cannot be blamed for executing somebody any more than you can be personally blamed for all the millions of deaths America has caused  in Vietnam, Iraq and countless other places around the world.

            I was asked to give an example of any future prophesies, I can't give part of it.
            The bible is a book of prophesy and we are approaching the most important and final one. Those without Holy Spirit will not understand, for the ruler of this system has blinded their eyes of the unbelievers so that the glorious good news might not be seen.

Why are they planning on building the third temple of Solomon? Why have they gathered a levite priest hood and made a solid gold menorah to go inside the temple?...Do you think they have spent thousands of years and billions on manouvering war tactics  for
            the fun of it? They are waiting for their own fulfilment of scripture they are awaiting their own Messiah, trust me there is no way around this it's all part of bible prophesy just some are too blind to see it.

              many people have followed false prophecies and had visions of themseleves as a chosen people - none of that makes a myth true.  reality isnt decided by a majority vote. and of course, if the Jews are right, then christians, especially fundamentalist ones have been wrong for 2000 yeears!

              you still havent provided ONE concrete, definitive prophecy that was written before the fact

                The Bible says there will be false prophets, that will do many signs and wonders. Nostradamus was a prophet but he wasn't a Christian so where did he get his abilities from?
                Who said the Jews are right? because they control the world behind the scenes doesn't mean they are right, it means the Bibles prophesy concerning them is right. You don't have to believe in God to see that something very intense is happening in the middle east, and with Israel, this all revolves around religion.. WHY? Evil-ution is a cover up and a distraction from what is really going on. Has you got concrete evidence? no I don't think so only that from HIS--TORY.

            Matthew 26:24
            The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born. (this may refer to Judas)

            Matthew 12:31-32
            31 Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. 32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

            The Pharisees blasphemed against the Holy Spirit by falsely attributing the miraculous works performed by Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit to the works of demons. Jesus says that the sins of these unbelieving Pharisees will not be forgiven during ‘this age’, which was the age when Jesus was alive, nor will their sins be forgiven during ‘the age to come’, meaning the next age (the present age) after Jesus was resurrected. In other words, these unbelieving Pharisees all died unforgiven. However, please note that the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit remains unforgiven for ‘this age’ and ‘the age to come’ only, but not forever.

            "All unbelievers will be humbled and repent during the Lake of Fire Judgement Age, and all of them will be forgiven, as explained in Chapter 12. Remember, Jesus Christ died to forgive the sins of the whole world. Also, Jesus’ last and most important prayer to Father God, before He died on the cross, was to ask for the forgiveness of all those who were in agreement to crucify Him. No doubt, the Pharisees who blasphemed against the Holy Spirit are also included in that group, and they will repent, be forgiven, and be reconciled to God in the Lake of Fire Judgement Age, and enter the Kingdom of God"Hebrews 10:26-27
            26 For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries.

            God views a man as ‘sinning deliberately’ when he rejects the truth of the Gospel that Jesus Christ is indeed the Saviour of the whole world, after having this truth clearly pointed out to him. Such people who ‘sin deliberately’ are accountable and they will have to face fiery judgement in God’s consuming, refining Lake of Fire before they are reconciled to God. God’s Lake of Fire judgement for all unbelievers will be a fearful judgement, but it will not be eternal torment in hell. It will be an age-lasting, humbling and refining judgement from a loving Father who chastises His rebellious children to bring them to repentance. Ultimately, in God’s time and His order, all will be reconciled to God and all will enter the Eternal Kingdom of God of the New Heaven and the New Earth. 

            From  this research it seems that there will be like you said, a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous and each will be judged according to their repentance and acknowledgement of Christ as king.
            Reading this made me really appreciate the loving kindness of Christ, and of course he will be the one doing the judging.

                  The only proving the bible has been subject to is to prove that NO evidence for any of the 'story' of any kind  - background events can be verified but not even the existence of a Jesus can be verified beyond the mention of many prweachers wandering the area called Jesus which was a common name.  The magical stuff cannot be verified in any way , except in the story book.  The proven NOT TRUE is a bit more substantial as Bethlehem was not even a settlement until over 100 years after the story date.

                    Scholars agree that Jesus was born between 7 and 2 BC and died 30–36 AD. Most scholars hold that Jesus lived in Galilee and Judea, did not preach or study elsewhere. What you have to understand, is that when the Romans destroyed the temple all birth and death records were destroyed.
                    The British Museum has published a book which include numerous inscribed objects, scripts and pictorial reliefs which provide such evidence. There is, for example, a Babylonian clay tablet which records Nebuchadnezzar's siege of Jerusalem in 597 BC, as narrated in the book of Jeremiah. For this book the author has selected over seventy such 'documents', mainly from Western Asia, with some examples included from Greece, Egypt and Asia Minor, dating from the period of the Patriarchs to the New Testament times, c. 2000 BC to c. AD 100. He transliterates and translates the ancient texts, which include Cuneiform, Aramaic and Hebrew, and discusses the contribution they make to our knowledge of the culture and history of biblical times. Each object is illustrated in black and white.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabonidus_Chronicle
                    The Dead Sea Scrolls provides loads of evidence with prophesies about the messiah. http://christiananswers.net/q-abr/abr-a023.html

            Now thats very interesting, it seems that nearly every one will go to hell. The bible says that during the battle of armageddon that some people will survive and not face death at all. But get to eat from the tree of everlasting life.
            It also says that not every one will see heaven only 144,000 who reign will christ will. The rest who are asleep will be resurrected on earth, during Christs thousand year reign.

              The other interesting thing is that there are over a million Christians and not all will go to heaven because apparently there is only room for 144000 in heaven.

              So the premise that all who believe in Jesus will go to heaven or be saved is false.

              Perhaps eternal life and heaven do not go together?

                From my studying of the bible, humans were never originally created to die and live in heaven, but to populate the Earth and who knows with time perhaps more Earths through out the universe. When we say the Lords prayer 
                we pray "Thy kingdom come thy will be done on EARTH as it is in Heaven. So it's Gods will through Christ Jesus to bring the Earth back to what it was intended for. Yes those who do his will have the chance to re-gain everlasting life to perfection the same as our original parents. The 144,000 kings and priests will be joint heirs with Christ and be judges of those who come back in the resurrection.

                Isaiah 65:22-23 No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the works of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

                Revelation 21:3-5  And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

                  That is news to me that Humans were never created to die? After being made in the image of God, the bible clearly states we were then made of dust and that we will return to dust. So there is the temporary (dust) and the eternal aspect of that which we are.

                  So you do not see heaven on earth already? Do you not know God is within already?

                  The revelations passage you quote is pointing to some who have already attained that state of being in this life. It makes sense then that it is not a future event. It has and is already occurring.

                    You are correct some who have already died which the Bible calls Christs brothers or the anointed, are already in heaven, as the scriptures say they will be changed in "twinkling of an eye"..
                    If we go right back to the start of creation, we can see that people lived to extremely old age ,Methuselah the son of Enoch died at 969 years of age. As time went by and sin more engrained our life span has been reduced.
                    Yes the scriptures say that Christ is within us, I guess that's from the start of creation when the firtst breath of life was his active force.
                    As for heaven on earth now, I see very little of it..the Bible says this is not the real life. How can we have heaven on earth when satan is the God of this system of things? The Heavenly kingdom reigning on Earth is a future event, one which we pray for constantly when we recite the Lords prayer or   
                    "our father" .
                    It is something I'm sure I'll see in my life time, as prophesy and world events are unfolding and fulfilling scripture. What a great hope for those with faith and can see why Christ Jesus is the sacred secret. Only by him will we be restored to our original condition and understand the TRUE meaning of life..

                    2 Corinthians 4:4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

                    John 12:31 Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.

                    Revelation 12:12 Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who reside in them! But woe to you, O earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you in great anger, knowing he has a short period of time!”

      When Jesus was crucified and resurrected, He fulfilled the righteous requirements of the Old Testament law and from that point whoever repents and trusts in Jesus has eternal life. So to answer the question you asked, I would say that those who crucified Jesus had the same opportunity for salvation as anyone else.

    Jesus was crucified by the Romans at the desire of the Jews. I guess the Romans were ignorant in the sense that they were not seeking the Christ as their Messiah, where as the Jews were fully aware of the prophesies, they personally witnessed the miracles etc..I know the bible speaks of a resurrection of the good and the bad at the end of Christs thousand year reign, but I can't see how Christ would set him self up in a position to be rejected for the second time. From what I can see they had their chance and blew it :-(

      did they repent though.? Or did they get a free pass? The fact that jesus forgave those who crucified him, says a lot about his merciful and loving nature, and attitude even towards those of us who don't deserve it.
      But it doesn't say anything about their mindset. That is what repentance is to me. A change of mindset. Or the formation of a mindset that leaves room for God. Even the least bit.

          Cascoly...Have you ever heard of sodom and gomorrah? Well God prophesied that the two cities would be destroyed with sulphur and fire and that nothing would ever grow there again. Archeologists believe that the area called the dead sea is where these two cities once stood, sulphur balls of immense size has been discovered and nothing lives in the dead sea. Archeologists have recently found the wheel of pharos chariot at the bottom of the red see, which moses parted. Any way I'm not here to convince those who just about believe their own reflection, as God said "They will have to know that I am Jehovah"

            as far as the 'recent' chariot wheel, that's just more old regurgitated nonsense:
            "Much of this eRumor is based on the findings of Ron Wyatt, a colorful and controversial amateur archeologist who claimed to have found Noah's ark, the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, the location of Sodom And Gomorrah, the Tower of Babel, the true site of Mt. Sinai, the true site of the crucifixion of Jesus, and the original stones of the Ten Commandments.  He was a passionate and sincere man, according to his supporters, but his critics abound and scientists and archeologists regarded him as an untrained maverick at best and there are some who regarded his as a fraud.  Wyatt died from cancer in 1999."

                  You obviously do not understand the bible and it's time in relation to the creator. The bible says one day is a thousand years to the creator, so the earth was made in sixth thousand years, the seventh is his rest day not from exhaustion but preparing for the completion of the seventh. Like Miltons poetical works "Paradise Lost To Paradise Regained"
                  Who said evolution is a fact? just because a few weird skulls have been found does not mean that evolution existed. There is a great cover up about mans history and the elite of this world wish to keep it that way. The bible explains that a species once walked this earth, who were called the Nephilim. They were hybrid off spring from fallen angel with human women. This union produced giants and malformed types at that. Skeletons of these have been fund even valleys. I believe species can adapt to change but a monkey change to a human is impossible, if this is true why hasn't any other species of monkey over the millions of years show us any form of evolvement perhaps say a word or two? The bible clearly says each kind to its own kind, because humans have a different genetic make up. An ape cant reproduce with a human for this very reason.
                  And do you know what the next jump in evil-oution is suppose to be? That we are now entering the age of Aquarius and we are now evolving to a spiritual level where we will be GODS, so there is no creator we are the Gods amazing lol..

    I believe if they repented, God forgive them because in Jesus' final words on the Cross, He is quoted as saying, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Christ put them in position to be forgiven by the Father. On ther slip side, it is so very important that we too practice forgiveness of those who hurt or bring harm to us. This blesses me because I am not perfect and each day of my life I need the forgiveness of God. If Christ can forgive those who burtially tortured Him, surely God give us power to forgive one another.

          Now, one does not need to be mental to hallucinate. We are humans, we try to put things into a pattern so that we can make a meaning out of a situation. When our mind do tricks on us to familiarize the most unfamiliar situations and try connecting non connected events we see things which we haven't seen and believe we really saw it. So experience has no value, it is a subjective feeling based on our rearing, brain structure and the environment we were brought up and we are currently in.

Regarding UN, the people on top who does that might be as religious as you are. Just because the Jews(and their bible) condemn Lucifer, does not make him evil. Jews always condemned their enemies and their gods and painted them in the worst possible way. The term Lucifer means light bearer and probably one among the gods of pagans. Christians when possible killed pagans and are demonising them even now, a probable reason why it's worshippers do not want to publicize themselves.

                  As another fairytale 'Jesus' has more followers than anyone in history, it is no wonder that a pagan mythical god also has some followers. The pagans are more decent group of people to condemn their enemies as devils, if not, for them your Yahweh who killed humans in flood certainly would be devil.

      Hell is an unbiblical pagan doctrine embraced and christianised by the Roman Catholic Church in the early centuries of Christianity, and made official when Jerome translated the Bible into Latin in 400 A.D.

      The doctrine of everlasting punishment in hell is founded upon a combination of mistranslations and misinterpretations of the following Hebrew and Greek words.

      Mistranslations of the Hebrew word sheol and the Greek words hades, tartarus and gehenna, to mean hell.
      Mistranslations of the Hebrew word owlam and the Greek words aion and aionios, to mean forever or everlasting when relating to God’s judgement of unbelievers and fallen angels.

      True.. Hades occurs 11 times in the original Greek Manuscripts of the New Testament and it is the direct equivalent of the Hebrew word sheol; thus it also means the grave or the pit. This is how most modern versions of the Bible translate hades.

      Some Bible dictionaries give an added meaning to hades to mean ‘underworld’ or ‘the place or state of departed spirits’. But this meaning has been influenced by pagan Greek mythology and has no biblical basis.

    As a former Evangelical Christian, layman, missionary and pastor, and as a lifelong student of the Bible, I'll take a stab at this.  When Jesus was hanging on the Cross, He said, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."  Jesus was simply voicing His inner feelings.  The meaning of His words were "Father, be willing to forgive them if they ever repent and ask for salvation in my name."   The fact is that the Bible makes it clear that each person must repent and call on Jesus for salvation.  If anyone involved in Jesus' death, whether Jew or Roman, guard or Governor, Roman citizen or lowly peasant, called on the name of Jesus and repented of their sins, they would be saved and go to heaven.  That is simply the New Testament teaching on the subject.  The alternative to heaven, of course, is hell.  At least that is what the New Testament teaches.  I don't buy the concept of hell any longer.  If one were to visit my profile, it is possible that they might discover something written along the lines of the origin of the concept of hell.  I'm not suggesting you look, but just so you know.

The four of them were there –or thereabouts– and only one speaks of a thief being saved. (Pause.) Come on, Gogo, return the ball, can't you, once in a way?
    ESTRAGON:
    (with exaggerated enthusiasm). I find this really most extraordinarily interesting.
    VLADIMIR:
    One out of four. Of the other three, two don't mention any thieves at all and the third says that both of them abused him.
    ESTRAGON:
    Who?

    What?
    ESTRAGON:

    ESTRAGON:
    Why?

    Because he wouldn't save them.
    ESTRAGON:
    From hell?
    VLADIMIR:

    ESTRAGON:
    I thought you said hell.
    VLADIMIR:

    ESTRAGON:
    Well what of it?
    VLADIMIR:
    Then the two of them must have been damned.
    ESTRAGON:
    And why not?
    VLADIMIR:
    But one of the four says that one of the two was saved.
    ESTRAGON:
    Well? They don't agree and that's all there is to it.
    VLADIMIR:
    But all four were there. And only one speaks of a thief being saved. Why believe him rather than the others?
    ESTRAGON:
    Who believes him?

      Anyone could go out and compile a text made up of writings of various people.  By careful selection and editing the complete text could unified in terms of viewpoint.  Such a work could easily be handed from generation to generation so that more could be added.  The biblical writers had the advantage of having a single culture from which to gather their writings.  This added to consistency.  When the New Testament picked up where the Hebrew writings left off, there was a distinct change in style, types of literature and content.  The whole thing got the final once over when the Synod of Hippo consolidated both Old and New Testaments for the first time.  The making of the Bible has only the fingerprints of man on it, in my opinion.

        ???? what are you talking about? even in the highly subjective & political selection today called the bible there are major historical errors, and disagreements -- starting with genesis, eg, where 2 completely different creation myths are jumbled together.  the bible may be many things, but historically accurate and internally consistent are not on the llist

          The Bible is advanced in many things, the bible said the earth was round and hung upon nothing while the rest of the world thought it was flat..if they read it they would have saved them selves alot of sailing around lol.

              You may be surprised to learn that the Bible revealed that the earth is round. Job 26:10, Prov 8:27, Isaiah 40:22, Amos 9:6. Today, we chuckle at the people of the fifteenth century who feared sailing because they thought they would fall over the edge of the flat earth. Yet the Bible revealed the truth in 1000 B.C. 2500 years before man discovered it for himself!

                  Matthew Maury (1806-1873) is considered the father of oceanography. His daughter was reading a portion of the Bible to him. While listening, he noticed the expression "paths of the sea" in Psalms 8:8. Upon his recovery, Maury took God at his word and went look ing for these paths. We are indebted to his discovery of the warm and cold continental currents. His book on oceanography is still considered a basic text on the subject and is still used in universities. Maury used the Bible as a guide to scientific discovery. If only more would use the Bible as a guide in their personal lives!

                    nonsense - Humboldt had already discovered the ocean currents named after him, and sailors & traders had been using such currents for hundreds of years.  so Maury didnt need the bible to show him anything - he just had to apply REAL science and advanced our knowledge.  Maury didnt 'discover' the currents, he used existing records and logs to map the currents that people already knew existed.   

                    yet another example of misquoting the bible's vague phrases while ignoring reality

                With respect none of those verses suggest a heliocentric spherical Earth. Imagine a flat disc world with the heavens stretched over as a dome, and the sun disappearing over the horizon to traverse the underside of the disc at night; and those verses support this view.

                    Interesting that you didn't even read your own link.

                    The last line sums it up.

                    "So, the "circle" of Isaiah 40:22 refers to the horizon of the earth, which is very obviously perceived as a circle since it can be seen in 360º from most anywhere on earth. In Ancient Near Eastern conceptions, this circle would refer to the flat earth disk, not to a sphere."

                why would the ancient greeks measure the CIRCUMFERENCE of the world if they thought it was flat?  flat earth only became common after the church amd its bible took over the Roman Empire!

                and there are just as many bible quotes that indicate the earth is flat - like yyour quotes, they're all vague.

                  Job was an oriental and he wrote about the Earth not being flat long before Roman or greek empire or before the church. If I was to look up at the moon I would describe it as round or circular but definitely not flat, so why would those who wrote the bible describe the earth any different.

                    Correct. If you didn't know that the moon was in fact a sphere you might describe it as being round. The same holds true of the people who wrote the bible, they didn't know the earth was a sphere so they described it as being round. Now, if the scripture was inspired or written by God the correct words would have been used. This is just one more indication that the bible was written by bible with no knowledge other then the knowledge of their time.

                  Isaiah 40:22 It is he who sits above the CIRCLE of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to live in;

                  Job 26:10 He has inscribed a CIRCLE on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.

                  Job 22:14 Thick clouds are a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the CIRCLE of the heavens He walketh habitually,

                  Prov 8:27 When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a CIRCLE on the face of the deep, 8:28 when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, 8:29 when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth . .

                  Try reading the scripture that's a good start :-)

                    you're just getting in deeper -- even the ancients knew the difference between A CIRCLE AND A SPHERE.  A CIRCLE is FLAT and has boundaries.  you CANNOT inscribe or draw a sphere on a surface!  your quotes give support to the flat earth theory!

                    All that states is that the CIRCLE is a circular area of land and the tent covers that area.



                    Again, a circular area of land with a boundary on all sides.



                    That states the CIRCLE of the heavens, not the Earth. Can you not read?



                    Again, that is simply a circular area of land. If one stands in one spot and looks out towards the horizon on all sides, they have created a circular area of land.

                    Absolutely none of that describes a spherical earth, so you can stop lying about it.

                  May I just say as a practicing christian it is a sin to lie, as a lie is what got us in a mess in the first place. There's no need to lie when you have the word of God, as it speaks for it self.

    No way to know for sure if the people who carried out the crucifixion wound up in Heaven, but according to scripture, it is possible, and maybe even likely for some of them. 

    Luke 23:34 says:    And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments

    Mark 15:39 says:   And when the centurion, who stood facing him, saw that in this way he breathed his last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” 

    Looks like the "bad guys"  were given two precious gifts by Christ himself:  Forgiveness and Faith.

    I believe that those who played a part in the crucifixion of Jesus will one day have to stand trial in the courts of the holy sit of New Jerusalem and they will then be sentenced too from there by almighty god with Jesus at this side.
