If this bill passes, it could set a dangerous precedent, one that opens the door for biblical truth to be labeled as hate speech. Here’s the truth: Jesus was crucified for the sins of the world: mine, yours, everyone’s. But the Bible also clearly shows that a crowd of Jews, including leaders and regular people, demanded His death, and the Roman government carried it out. That’s not antisemitism. That’s Scripture.

The Antisemitism Awareness Act adopts a broad definition of antisemitism that includes theological and historical statements depending on how they’re interpreted. And sure, they’ve added language to “protect” free speech and religion, but let’s not be naïve. When speech is policed based on how it makes people feel, truth gets put on trial.

So no, it’s not just about saying “Jews killed Jesus.” It’s about whether preaching straight from the Bible could soon be treated as harassment. That’s the line we’re approaching. And if truth becomes illegal, then what we’re really witnessing is the beginning of persecution, just wrapped in policy.
