How exactly is anyone dying for Israel?There are many theories about what happened to those Jews who were captured by the Assyrians and none of them have any evidence to support them. In any case, all this happened several centuries before Jesus was born and has no relevance to his mission.I'm not sure what your point is here. They were the priesthood, but all the people in Judah and Israel were Jews in the sense that they all believed in the teachings of the Torah. There is a theory about the ten tribes that were captured by the Assyrians and some believe they never returned and some believe they did, but this was all several centuries before Jesus and there were no divisions among the Jews of Jesus' time on that basis. You seem to be claiming Jesus was more of a nationalist than a religious reformer, but there is no evidence of that in the bible. All the people whose religious beliefs derived from the Torah were Jews, and while there were many divisions among them, there were no nationalist divisions among them in Jesus' day.Sure it is. Jesus came to save only the Jews, so where did all these other Christians come from?
You need to first understand that the first time in the Bible the word " JEW " was mentioned was when the Jews aka 'House of Judah and Israelites aka House of Israel were at war with each other.
All tribes are of the patriarch Israel so basically all Israelites, but Judah , Levi and part of Benjamin are the Priesthood. Check it out to make sure I remember correctly.
You began this by saying Jesus was upset with the Jews, and he was as all religious reformers are upset with the people they think need reforming, but Jesus was a strong advocate of the ancient Temple religion, which was the Temple for all Jews, and he believed the Jews of his time, living as they did in Jerusalem in a bustling city located on the crossroads of trade between Africa and the ME and beyond, and he also had imbibed some of the current mysticism popular among the desert mystics and wanted the Jews to accept it. All of this is interesting stuff, but I don't see how any of it relates to the discussion of anti semitism today.
All the men under Syrian capture were supposably killed, only one Daughter of the linage was saved from what I remember.
Jesus mentioned those who gambled in the Temple and also hated his message and when Pilot washed his hands of it the Jews yelled "crusify him".
Jesus had many disagreements with the Jews of the time. From stoning of women, working on the Sabbath,et,etc,etc,.
It is really telling when we can't even debate without our study looking anti-semitic. One of them below.
John8-40
…39“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham. 40But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you thetruth that I heard from God. Abrahamnever did such a thing. 41You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”…

Jesus did not chase gamblers or money lenders from he Temple courtyard, he chased money changers who facilitated worship. In ancient times, when Jews came to worship at the Temple, they brought with them an animal they had raised to be sacrificed, but by the time Jesus was born, Jews had spread out to many lands and when they traveled to Jerusalem to worship at the Temple, they would exchange their foreign currencies for the local currency so they could purchase an animal for sacrifice. Jesus disapproved of buying a sacrifice instead of raising the animal oneself, so he chased all the money changers out of the courtyard.
All of Jesus' disciples were Jews and all of his followers for the first century were Jews and the church Mary and James opened in Jerusalem in his name only accepted Jews so when you say the Jews called for him to be crucified instead of saying some Jews called for him to be crucified, you are defining yourself as an anti semite, so stop whining about it.
No your defining me as an anti-semite. What Iam is like the Jews a nationalist who doesn't think my salvation depends on anyone but my own actions not the worship of any other religious sect including protestant or Jew. Yet we keep going to all these wars and dying for a nation that I don't think worth all the wars. I'd lot rather have the Jews who love education and progress to come here if they can't get along there than who is invading us now.
Yet people tell me I'm going straight to hell if I don't worship Israel,Or Mary or whoever.
And Barbara Specter is an evil egotistical hag ,imo. So if some Jews are disliked it is because they are not likable.
It’s not like the Arab haven’t been at war with other for 1,000 years.
