If the first line of Matthew read: "Look you narcissistic idiots, Jesus is not the Messiah", no one here would change his mind. So I'm not trying to convince anyone. All I ask is just leave the Jews alone. I can't stand Xian antisemitism from Biblical pseudointellectuals. As Christine pointed out earlier in the thread, it was one of the foundations of the Holocaust.
But if you insist on a source, try Isaiah 2:4, see also Isaiah 2:1-3, 11:1-10.
David Berger, Associate Prof. of History at CCNY:
"we have overwhelming evidence that the Messiah has not come, and against this evidence we are confronted by a dubious collection of isolated verses, forcibly wrenched out of context and invariably misinterpreted".
To each his own, though, and I don't care as long as Jews aren't condemned as pagans or whatever. And Christians would do well to follow the Jewish morality of deed over faith.
And I strongly recommend any of the antisemites on this thread visit a Holocaust museum and read anything by Joseph Telushkin to seriously understand the ramifications of their thinking. |
