Why am I harboring some hate towards Jews?

Question

I feel threatened because they keep denying the messiah, and they are God's chosen people. Should they be right? Or were they still blinded and weak in faith as we have seen in the old testament? Even after all the miracles they have witnessed by God, and they still turned on him when they encounter trouble or doubts.

So should I be suprised that they will doubt Jesus as Lord?

Answer 1

Make no mistake, God loves the Jewish people! He has a plan for the Jewish people in these end times! They gave us Christ, the Apostles and all the prophets of old! These people were ALL Jewish! The Old Testament and the New were written by Jews! If you want to know anything about the Old Testament, ask an Orthodox Jew! They have a world of knowledge about the scriptures! It is God's plan to have the Messiah rule from the nation of Israel! Just feel privileged that we were allowed to be grafted in with the Jewish people and are in line to be blessed with them! Jesus died a Jewish Rabbi and observed all the customs and traditional feasts of the Jews! The Bible says that God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel! If there is anything in you that resents the Jewish people, pray for God to remove it because it is NOT of God! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! One day soon the nations will be ruled by a Jewish Messiah from the line of David! Get used to it! It will happen!

Are you not fearful of the judgment of God because you hate the brothers and sisters of Christ? How can one be a Christian and hate anyone?The identifying mark of a true Christian should be love. To harbor hate is not what the Lord told us to do! The Bible says that we should be ready for our beloved Jesus to return. Are you sure you want him to find you with hate in your heart?

Answer 2

How about being thankful to the Jews. If it weren't for that Jewish bloke Moses, you would still all be slaves in Egypt. I think you don't know much about the Jewish faith, as there are examples throughout the OT of people blindly following God, even when logic tells them otherwise.

If I were to say that I was the second coming of Christ, and start my own Christian off shoot religion (let call it the Church of the Christ like Rachel), should my followers feel hate towards you because you do not recognise me as the messiah? No, because you may not feel that I am the messiah. So let people think what they want. It isn't hurting you.

Answer 3

Regardless of what the Jews do, say, think, or feel, that is not the problem in your question. Hate cannot reside in the same heart as the Holy Spirit. Your first concern should be resolving your feelings and forgiving. As far as how it is toward Jesus, he predicted it would be this way and so it is.

** Bronze, I would like to point out that hatred is not a common theme among Christians. It may be a common thing among people who publicly spout filth but that does not mean they are Christian. A true Christian cannot be filled with hate because of the indwelling Holy Spirit. If someone professes hate something else is going on.

Answer 4

The acts of a few in the past are hardly representative of the whole. Its sometimes difficult but before passing any personal judgement on any group of people, its best to try and understand what you can about them first. For example, if you walk into an ice cream store and try a flavor and find you dont particularly like it, does it mean all ice cream is bad? It's best to find out more before saying that. Silly analogy but the same can be said when thinking about people. One person, or a group of people cannot possible be entirely representative of a whole.

And most importantly... GOD LOVES EVERYONE and we should live by example of this. Think more about understanding than judging and maybe your dilemma can come to a close.

Answer 5

The problem here is simply cured. You need to take anthroplogy classes. Then go to the region and live with muslims and jews and christians and kurds. You will open your mind to a new world and you will stop hating. Please this is just a product of your culture, do not let hate from the world around you turn your mind off to true understanding and education. It is not evil to learn something other that the bible. Go outside your group. You would not want to cure your cancer with just prayer right. You would see a doctor. Right? Point is that some things are beyond the perview of religion. Start to learn.

Answer 6

You've just hit the nail right on the head! Way to go! "I feel threatened because they keep denying the messiah..." Why do you feel threatened? If you are secure in your faith, you would not feel threatened. I think this is YOUR problem...you should study your faith more because you obviously have serious doubts about it.

Answer 7

Don't hate anyone, that's not God's way. Jews are no longer God's chosen people, the Christian congregation was opened up to Gentiles, and all men in 33 C.E., when the roomful of people received holy spirit, hence God's approval. That they choose to deny the Messiah is something that they must answer to God for, we are not judges. I'll be right back with supporting scriptures.

Matt. 21:42, 43: “Jesus said to them [the chief priests and the older men of the Jews in Jerusalem]: ‘Did you never read in the Scriptures, “The stone that the builders rejected is the one that has become the chief cornerstone. From Jehovah this has come to be, and it is marvelous in our eyes”? This is why I say to you, The kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits

Matt. 23:37, 38: “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the prophets and stoner of those sent forth to her,—how often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks together under her wings! But you people did not want it. Look! Your house is abandoned to you.”
*. (Ac 1:4, 5, 15; 2:1-4; Acts 10:34,35)

Answer 8

Well, we've seen the way a good many Christians behave, and that's hardly a recommendation.

It's never been obvious to us non-Christians just when Christ required everyone to believe in Him, on pain of death.

As for the miracles of Jesus: we only have your word for it in the New Testament, which we regard as, pardon the expression, bogus.

No. Your hatred for Jews reflects the way you were brought up, and the attitude of your nutcase church.

We don't hate Christians, though we've learned to stay out of their way whenever possible. Every time someone makes another one of those goddamn Easter movies, there's more trouble for us.

Answer 9

The Jews will soon turn to the Lord Jesus. It will likely be during a great war in which it looks like they will lose their country once again. Long story but its well written out in the Book of Revelations.

Answer 10

You should hate no one. The Jews are God's chosen people and since God knows all, He knew the Jews would always turn away. Jesus said: "Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem. You who stone the prophets and kill those who are sent to save you...How often I would to gather you as a hen gathers her chicks, but you would not have Me!"
This has been the legacy of the Jews. Remember, God blesses those who bless Israel.
