Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. ---- Jesus told the Jews, who claimed they were of Abraham, that they were of their father Satan. ---- John 8:44

Jesus was himself a Jew and he was the Messiah for the Jews. Jesus, however, is very clear as to the status of the fellow Jews who rejected him……

Jesus told the rebellious Jews, who claimed they were of Abraham, that they were NOT OF ABRAHAM because of their constant disobedience.

Jesus told the Jews who did not believe in him that they were MURDERERS.

Jesus told the Jews who did not believe in him that they were LIARS AND DECEIVERS.

Jews called the Jews who argued with him and rejected him the “Spawn of Satan”.

--------------------
Jesus compares the unbelieving Jews with the serpent devil

"Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" (Matthew 23:33)

--------------
Synagogues Of Satan

"I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." (Revelation 2:9)

"Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee." (Revelation 3:9)

Here Jesus says the real Jews are his followers and the disbelievers are NOT THE REAL JEWS.

Jesus also promises the believers, who are now called CHRISTIANS, that the disbelievers, who are now called JEWS, will always be under their feet as a symbol that Jesus Loves THEM.

-------------
“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves." -- Matthew 10:16

Jesus calls the Jews who did not believe in him "WOLVES" and the Jews who did believe in him as "SHEEP". The believers should become as wise, sneaky and deceiving as the generation of Serpents/vipers otherwise they will not survive the onslaught from the disbelieving Jews ?

Have the wolves deceived the Sheep to such an extent that they now believe the very same people whom Jesus called Vipers and the Spawn of Satan are “GODS CHOSEN PEOPLE” ?

Acutally they were the “chosen people” before they rejected Jesus and a curse was put on them. God shifted the prophethood out of them and established a new “Jerusalem”(Holy city of peace) also.

“By deception thou shalt do war”

Instead of the disbelieving jews worshipping at the feet of the Christians, the Christians are worshipping at the feet of the “Chosen People” whom Jesus called the Spawn of Satan ?

This is the bible, read it for yourself.

What do you think ?

Jesus is just talking about people who claim to be Jews, or Sons of Abraham, but they are always scheming how to kill Christ or Christ followers. The reason they are called children of satan is because satan is the murderer and he puts this desire in people (who reject Christ/Christians) to kill them, the scheme to murder or even torture them.

Not one person who has claimed to be Jews who plan & plot murdering Gods Prophets & People are Jews in Gods eyes.

Those who did evil to Gods people & never repented will bow before them redeemed by Jesus Blood (of the 12 tribes of Israel and of all nations redeemed by His Blood) will bow before them and realize God loves them.

There are true believers that are Jews also. They are usually called Messianic Jews. And they are born of God also, the same as those from all nations are born of God. We are all part of the family of God. Salvation (Yeshua) comes from the Jews to all nations.

You are taking everything out of context. Are twisting the bible for some kind of anti-semitic agenda?

Revelations 3:9, comes from a description of the sins of the so called 'church' of Philadelphia. It describes the type of behavior going on at the 'church'. It attacks the behavior of the 'church' as going against the teaches of Christ. It in no way condones the behavior. Rev. 2:9 talks about the church in Smyrna which is apparently being prosecuted by people claiming to be Jews but who are not really. It does not say anything about believers in Christ being true Jews and those who do not believe being fake Jews.

In John 8:44, Jesus was speaking figuratively all people not just the Jews are sinful and therefore we are all children of Satan until we repent and become children of God.

Matthew 23:33, was about the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, it was in no way an attack on Jews. Matthew 10:16 was not an indictment of the Jews, it was simply a statement that the Christians were being sent out into an unfriendly world. I think the wolves mentioned includes the Romans who also prosecuted the Christians.

There is nothing in the Bible that removes the title of God's chosen people from the Jews. You simply took a few passages out of context and tried to distort their meaning.

What do I think? I think you've artificially knitted together different subjects and concluded they're meant to go together.

Jesus never claimed that unbelieving Jews are the ONLY people on earth that are affected by beliefs that displease God; however, if you place Jesus' comments in John ("you are of your father, the devil...") out of context, you'll arive at that conclusion. The TRUE context is this: Jesus arrived to bring the New Covenant promised to the Jews (NOT the Gentiles) at Jeremiah 31:31-34; those who refused to enter into the New Covenant are still Jews, but they are not part of God's "remnant." And that's the crux of your misunderstanding --you've confused "remnant" with "Jew." Not all Jews are in the remnant, but all in the remnant are Jews.

Likewise, Jesus never stated that unbelieving Jews are "wolves." This is a clear reference to the fact that Jesus promised His Church that the world would hate us, because He was hated first. To apply this term ONLY to unbelieving Jews is incorrect. And actually, I've met MANY more godless Gentile "wolves" than hostile Jews (of whom I've met very few -- most are quite wonderful people and I ate a late lunch with one yesterday, actually).

Regarding the "Synagogue of Satan," you've also not acknowledged a verse that clarifies to whom He was referring: He never stated unbelieving Jews aren't Jews; what He said was there are some people who call themselves Jews, but are not (Rev. 3:9a). In all likelihood, these were Gentile proselytes seeking to impose the Mosaic Law on Messianic Jews/Christians. Read Romans Chapters 9 through 11 and you'll see confirmation of this: Paul states again and again that unbelieving Jews are STILL JEWS. Since Paul received his instruction directly from Jesus, it's doubtful he got it that wrong.
