"who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men, forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the uttermost."---1 Thessalonians 1:15-16
Why would God poor out His wrath on His own chosen people? Think this is silly? Well it happend in AD 70. Still today the Jews as a whole do not believe in Jesus as the Messiah. Do you think they please God today?

As a Jew, all I have to say to you is: A nahr bleibt a nahr - A fool remains a fool. God and I are on very good terms with each other and He told me to tell you to have a schvatz yor.
Btw, I happen to know Tony LaRussa and I'm going to tell him about this. He happens to be a wonderful man who has great integrity and he would be very scornful of a person like you.

You need to read all of the Bible. If you did, you would be aware that the Christians met in the Synagogues "in the Sabbath evenings". In Matthew 5 Jesus says he is not here to start a new religion, but to fix the Jewish one.
Also there are still Jewish/Christian religions today. Jewish that have and do believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

God poured out his wrath on his chosen people because they repeatedly broke the covenant they made with him by adopting the practices of surrounding pagan nations; these included things such as idol worship and child sacrifice. They rejected their Messiah and caused him to be executed, how do you think God feels about them.

Read the Bible, the jews constantly anger God and he smites them.
He got finally fed up with them when he divided Israel into two parts, with most of the tribes being in the unbeleving part and only two tribes of Israel on the believing side. Those two are the only two tribes still left.

Paul's own people???
Are you RETARDED?
Is this what churches are teaching???
Paul was a reject. That is the single reason that Paul decided to take it to the gentiles. Because "the Jews", knowing the truth, kicked his a*s out.
If you're going to preach it, get it right.

The message of salvation was offered to them first....
They rejected it....
And then for the Gentiles (us)
We (Gentiles) have now been grafted into the same tree with the Jewish people....those who accept the message of the cross, that is

It is not heard much in Christian circles, (it should be) but God has not cast them off forever. There will be a remnant left.
Don't worry about it...everyone will know the truth soon enough. A lot of rotten things still have to happen first.

What are you, Torquemada the Second? I think Paul was against the Jewish ESTABLISHMENT (the Pharisees, etc) than the Jewish people themselves.
