WATCH: Pastor Claims that blaming Jews is Christian doctrine

Last week, I watched a video of a pastor named Bruce Mejia excitedly announce the title of his Sunday message: "The Jews Killed Jesus." He wasn't just being provocative — he insisted this was a doctrine of the Christian faith, on par with justification by faith or the resurrection. He was frustrated that the standard definition of antisemitism includes holding the entire Jewish people collectively responsible for the death of Jesus — he thinks that should not be considered antisemitic.

I couldn't let that pass, so I recorded a short video responding to him directly.

Here's why it matters. Throughout history, the trajectory has run from rhetoric to massacre. Hitler's early strategy was to convince ordinary Germans that the Jews among them were a threat to be feared — a people secretly pursuing global domination who had already begun carrying it out. That rhetoric prepared the way to "defeat" the enemy: the Jews. Words like "the Jews killed Jesus" have never stayed confined to a pulpit.

I make these videos not merely to counter arguments that history has shown to be lethal, but to help equip you to answer them when you encounter them yourself — and you will. Claims that used to be whispered are now being said openly, sometimes even on the job.

Thank you for standing with Messiah's Mandate as we continue not just to sound an alarm, but to equip the saints. God never intended for Gentiles entering His Kingdom to persecute His covenant people — but to display the love and power of the Gospel, and invite them in.
