Fall Church, VA -- The Reparations Movement, for Christians all over the world, emerged more than 20 years ago by Jerry Falwell. In the wake of the bitter hostilities from the killing of Jesus, a decision was made to go after the Jews where it hurts, in their pocketbooks.
As Christian leaders grappled with the pressing question of "should the Jews pay for what they did to Jesus?" the Christian right cried out immediately for restitution - payback for centuries of being without their Savior. Indeed, Christians have been struggling for a restored sense of wholeness since losing God's son back in 0 A.D.
Other organizations and individuals have carried the demand for reparations farther into the twentieth century. Many of them have become a part of today's Reparations Movement, which is being spearheaded by Jerry Falwell and Christian Coalition.

I was not aware of this.
Tom, could you give us more information on this? Instances? Examples?
Tommy boy, this article is as close to anti-Semitic hate speech as can be. "Christ killer" has been the root of massacre and pogram, persecution and death to countless millions of Jew for the last 2 millenia. It is inhuman and unforgivable to even consider persecution of Jewry over the death of one of their own thousands of years ago. You are indeed fucking nuts.
Well I thought Jesus died for me, if I don't accept his death do I destroy my Salvation?
I'll have to ask Falwell about this one.
As far as paying the Jews back (Falwell) its not God's word. It was God's Plan for this to happen. The Jewish people did what they were suppose to do...It all works out in the end!!
