I disagree with this law. That said, Remember that during that time, most of the Christians were Jews. It was the religious leadership of Israel that led the charge in that at that time, using their position of influence and honor to influence and manipulate. Even the beloved apostle Paul was caught up in that as he sought to murder Christians. Remember also, that it had to be this way. John 11:49-52-...Caiaphas, being high prior that year, said... 'It is expedient for us that one man should die for the people, and not that the whole nation should perish.' he did not say this on his own authority, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, and NOT FOR THAT NATION ONLY, but also that he would gather together IN ONE the children of God who were scattered abroad.

We are all guilty of the murder of Jesus Christ because none of us is without sin someone had to be the guilty party. That's the truth. The fact that people keep blaming Jews for killing Jesus and that some have payed with their lives for this has alienated Jews from the Gospel. (I don't believe that those who make such accusations understand the Gospel or necessarily have a relationship with Christ.) Some of the stumbling blocks to Jews accepting Jesus have come from their negative experiences with Christians down through the ages.
