TheDenverChannel.com - News - 'Jews Killed Jesus' Sign Causing Controversy: "A billboard unveiled on Ash Wednesday, the same day that a controversial movie depicting the last hours of Jesus Christ premiered, is sparking criticism from people of all faiths.
The large-size outdoor marquee, which sits on the property of the Lovingway United Pentecostal Church at Colorado and Mississippi, says, 'Jews Killed The Lord Jesus' and the word 'Settled!'
'It's settled,' said Maurice Gorden, Loveway pastor. 'The word of God is the final word.'
The Anti-Defamation League asked for the marquee to be changed because it is anti-Semitic, but the church only amended the billboard slightly by removing the word 'settled' and attributing the line to biblical Scriptures.
That, however, is still not appeasing critics."
