I want to relate an incident to you about a group called Concerned Christians from Colorado that was recently arrested by Israel and deported because their intentions were to kill and create terrorism on the streets of Jerusalem because they believed that this would hasten the return of Christ. If you had the correct Christian perspective you would be more concerned about the denominational divisions and false doctrine taught by our own Body of Christ. You claim to be some what of an early church historian yet you have never commented on the Church's false doctrines that took us into the Dark Ages. The correct teaching of the mystery of Christ given to Paul would seem to be to be of more importance than your constant badgering of the Jewish religion. God will deal with that IMO. Santiago

Emile, It tells all when you did not highlighten the part about showing Christian kindness and hospitality to Jews but searched for a comment that could be used to support your evil thoughts. Do you think your posts demonstrate Christian kindness to the Jews? Nancy

Rabbinical Judaism tries to keep Jews enslaved for 2000 years Probably not. Christians of any sort did not exist 2000 years ago, hence it is temporally impossible for Rabbis to have opposed them 2000 years ago. Jewish Christians (led James the Just and Jude (Jesus's brothers (half? brothers) were a tiny sect who barely survived the revolt, and were never a real threat to Temple (Priestly -- Sadducee) or Rabbinical (Pharaisaical) Judaism, although they were oppressed especially by the Sadducees (who murdered James) they were never important doctrinally or theologically. Their supposed general epistles are IMHO very dull reading. Gentile Christians (Paul's, Peter's, and John's churches) were rather anti-Rabbinical and especially anti-Temple, but concentrated on converting Jews of the Diaspora and attracting gentiles. After the destruction of the Second Temple, and the expulsion of the Jews from most of Palestine, Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians were concentrated in major cities of the Jewish diaspora in Egypt, Italy, Greece and Syria. There were natural many opportunities for Christians and Jews to fight, and Jews had privileges of non-adherence to Caesaro-Roman worship probably from Julius himself (who had been Pontifex Maximus and defined the rules). The Christians did not, and were freguently challenged to sacrifice and hence punished when they refused. Jews sometimes rioted and attacked Christian worship (as in Alexandria) but once Constantine specifically took up Christianity (and after an interlude of Arianism (with his sons) and even Paganism (with Julian) the Jews lost any ability to injure Christianity, and fell under a 1300 hundred year oppression, in which, under Christianity at least (Islam was another story), they had to fight to survive as an oppressed captive people. It was impossible for oppressed Rabbis to oppose Christianity openly. Under Islam, Jews often participated in government and were able to explore religious studies and active business. On the whole, during the medieval era, in Europe, Jews were more educated and learned than any Christians (outside of Byzantium). Got it?
