Jewish people do not believe in Jesus?
2007-08-29 08:35:57 · update #1
Jesus was a Jew and no christian has any business being anti-semetic. And I get the sense most of us aren't, though many pseudo-christian cultists are (i.e. aryan churches, christian identity, kkk). As for why it happens, the roots are spiritual. God still has plans for the Jewish people, satan opposes those plans, so he gets as many people as possible to hate Jews. He's failed time after time in thwarting God's plans (Hitler, Haman, pharoah) and he will continue to fail.

Well, a lot of rote answers....IMHO, some people have such a dislike (it's okay...you can call it hatred) for Jewish people because they believe deep down that they are unimportant and that no one pays any attention to them and that they cannot succeed at anything they do. Christians who feel this way are puzzled and angry at why, if they believe in Christ and all, why they aren't "favored" with success and happiness. When they see Jewish people being successful, well-educated and successful, they cannot figure out why these Jews do so well when they do not believe in Christ. It's human to hate that which you are jealous or resentful of.....

Anti-Semites hate Jews because they blame the Jewish Pharisees for crucifying Jesus. However, it was our sins that nailed him to that cross. I don't get it either? How can you love the patriarchs, Abraham Isaac and Jacob, but hate all other Jews?

From the early bible stories on, the Jews, God's chosen children have been hated. I know God has a plan for them. Anyone who is loved by God and follows Him is hated by the world. Satan makes sure of that. In the end, God's will shall prevail.

I don't understand it either...
I don't understand ANY prejudices.
I live in an area where people are openly kind to one another... yet you hear their secret conversations - and can easily be made ill.
Integrity is the performance of loving kindness, honesty, and generousity when no one is looking.
I see no integrity in racists.
I can only pray that God reach their sickend souls.
Peace.

ignorance! many christians believe that the Jews crucified Christ, but it was in fact the Romans. Still its not Christlike to dislike anyone. To know Christ, one is only prompted to strive to be like Him.
In fact many christians also dont know that because Jesus was Jew those who follow him and are baptized with the proper authority--are in essence [at one with Christ] or part of his family-- are Jews also!
Faith is more than believing that there is a God. Faith is learning of God, and striving everyday to be more Christlike.

jews have been a scapegoat for many people in history because of the "mystery" and secrecy of the religion.
kind of like the way people scapegoat ardvarks today.
people unfairly blame the ardvark for many things that are going on but are not its fault.
ardvarks are blamed for the decline of the ozone layer,
the death of princess diana and most recently michael vikk's k9 capers.
I've even heard them blammed for the tragic end to the yankees 2004 season.

The basic reason why people are anti-semetic is because of their hate for God. They know they can't attack God directly, so they attack His chosen people.
It's sad that there exists such hate, but it does.
It's also sad that there are some so totally sold out to serving satan that they would hate as satan hates, but they exist, none-the-less (*sigh*) :-(

Jesus was indeed a Jew, but was rejected by his own people. As he was being nailed to the cross, he said "Forgive them father, they know not what they do". He had already forgiven those who crucified him, and it was a harbinger of things to come.
Would you be surprised if Christ came to save the nation which had him crucified? When you see the abomination of desolation displayed on the temple mount, look for the army of the Lord to save Israel from destruction.

Of course Jesus was a Jew...:
1.) He thought his mother was a virgin.
2.) His mother thought he was God.
3.) He lived at home till he was 33.
4.) He went into his father's business.
What more proof do you need?
