You were fine until you got to the last paragraph. God's free offer of His grace is not a personal vendetta against the Jews. God was sending ME to Hell before I put my full trust in Jesus Christ.
Gd is sending good Jews, as well as good Christians, to Heaven. i donāt believe in any āfreeā offer. Oneās place in the World to Come is earned while down here on Earth.
God extends that offer to everyone without regard to race, culture, or religion. There is neither slave nor free, nor Jew or Gentile, for we are all one in Christ Jesus.
In my view, Gd extends the same offer to everyone without regard to race, culture, or religion. Telling me āwe are all one in Christā is a nasty thing to say to a practicing Jew. It would be acceptable if you were to say āin your view.ā
Yes, I do feel the standard Christian beliefs that teach Gd is sending Jews to hell has resulted in MOST of the evil done to them. It is the same reason Muslims do evil to Jews: the Quran teaches hate to Jews. (Judaism does not even mention Christians or Muslims.) So I will expand: the negative teachings of other religions toward Jews is the root of the wrongs done to them.I wish you would separate all the wrong that has been done to the Jews with just standard Christian beliefs, which you feel is the root cause of ALL evil toward Jews. It's not by a long shot. The Nazi regime were FAR from Christian, though they tragically roped some Christians into their demonic scheme. Muslims, who persecute and hate Jews, are not Christian.
I reject him as the Messiah. I donāt resent the poor guy. He suffered a horrible death.Or take another tactic here. I know you reject and maybe even resent my Savior, and that's fine. You are free to do so. It doesn't bother me. That's your right.
Yes, I resent when Christian Fundamentalists hold beliefs that Jews go to hell for the same reason I resent that Muslim Fundamentalists teach that Jews are offspring of apes and swine, and for the same reason: the consequences of those prejudicial beliefs toward the Jewish people.But it REALLY bothers you that people hold Orthodox Christian beliefs, and you are extremely judgmental about it.
Finally, think about this: you are saying *I* am being judgmental for disapproving of Christian beliefs that say the Jews are damned to hell, and YOU believe Jews are damned to hell. Now tell meā¦.who is being more judgmental? I canāt think of anything more judgmental than saying an entire religious group goes to hell.
