You didn't answer my question. How do you know Jesus said that?
FYI, I do not believe there exists an "immortal soul". — Relativist
Hate is indeed a human trait. So is love, and we default to love as our first instinct for survival. The hate is passed up from the bigoted peers.
IOWs, the religious feed the hate to maintain their tribal differences.
A poor religious trait seen in the worst of religions and mostly absent in the religions that seek knowledge and wisdom instead of imaginary supernatural gods.

To some extent i agree with that. There is alot to be desired in modern Christianity. — christian2017
Well i disagree to a large extent that they are imaginary. Theres no use arguing over that aspect.
As for hate, anger and hate are a spectrum. Its alright to defend the lives of our children. To not care for our children shows that we have an apathetic soul. — christian2017
Correct. Only fools will argue for a supernatural realm that they can know nothing about.
As to children, and here I am looking at the world in total and the U.N. 10 year warning,
We are clearly showing as ma species that we will not defend the lives of our children as we are giving them a corrupted environment to live and likely die in.
That not caring for our children shows that we collectively have apathetic souls.

The religious ignore that God chose Jesus to die even before the earth was created. That's scripture.
When they want some other scenario, they are too stupid to recognize that to change things would derail their god's master plan. That paradox is present in Adam's sin. Christians call it our fall, yet sing that Adam's sin was a happy fault and necessary to god's plan.
Seems god planned our fall yet Christians blame man for it. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
I'm familiar with that. I was referring to the evolution of story of Pilate's sentencing Jesus to death. Over time, blame is increasingly shifted from Pilate to that Jewish public. A key point is that only in Gospel of Matthew (which came later than Mark and used Mark as a source) does Pilate wash his hands, and declare that he is innocent of Jesus’ blood, while the Jewish crowd (all the crowd, not just the leaders) cry out those infamous words, “His blood be upon us and our children” (Matt 27:25). That sort of thing is a plausible seed for eventual anti-Semitism.The Jewish court which sentenced Jesus had no temporal powers. The Romans were the ones who crucified Jesus, probably because they considered him as a potential rebel. Suggest you study the history of the Jewish rebellion against the Roman rule. — Jacob-B

Gnostic Christianity for one. We have tied equality righteousness.
Here is the older explanation from Gnostic sources.

I see the same in the bible but Christians do not believe in the equality of souls the way we do.

Well trimmed, sure. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
