Answer 1

That is the best question I have ever heard, you can't be a christain and hate anyone. The word christain means to be christ like. Is it christ like to hate. Jesus didn't even hate the ones who nailed him to the cross.

Answer 2

One only has to look to the bible to understand this.
The New Testament contains more than just a mild criticism of the Jews. In fact, it is extremely anti-Jewish. It is true that some Christians maintain that the New Testament attack on the Jews is quite mild. Yet, how mild is the "bloody commission," a statement that places upon the Jews guilt for all the righteous blood ever shed upon the earth (Matthew 23:35), or a spurious self-condemnation whereby the Jewish people supposedly take upon themselves and their offspring an eternal blame for the death of Jesus (Matthew 27:25), or a declaration that the Jews are the children of the devil (John 8:44) and that the Jews are a "synagogue of Satan" (Revelation 2:9, 3:9). Paul summed up the denunciation of the Jews with the inflammatory declaration that the Jews are "hostile to all men" (1 Thessalonians 2:15).

The New Testament was written by-and-large for Gentiles and institutionalized an anti-Judaic theme for its audience. It distorted and fictionalized events in order to portray the Jews, all Jews who do not accept Jesus, as evil and responsible for his death. The attitude of the New Testament authors toward the Jews is very clear.

The New Testament references reinforce this fact:


Matthew 8:12 Jews cast into outer darkness
Matthew 23:37,38 Jerusalem killed the prophets
Mark 13:9 in synagogues you shall be beaten
John 8:43, 47 You are of your father, the Devil...you are not of G-d
Acts 7:51-53 persecute prophets; betrayers & murderers
Acts 13:45-51 Jews reject word of G-d, so turn to Gentiles
Titus 1:10-14 they of circumcision...must be stopped
John 16:2, 3 whoever kills you will think he does G-d a service
Matthew 8:10-12 children of kingdom cast into outer darkness
Luke 20:9-16, Matt 13:36-43, and Luke 19:12-27 are parables which speak of
Gentiles inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven while Jews are cast into Hell.

Answer 3

Ask Ann Coulter. She claims to be Christian and yet "The Jews need to be perfected. Christians consider themselves perfected Jews."

That's what she said to a Jewish anchor on CNN recently. And then there's the whole "Jews killed Christ" thing... and you ask why there's antisemitism??

And what exactly does American culture have to do with anything? Most of the artwork seen of Jesus came from Europe, originally. It helps to know what you're talking about so you don't make yourself look foolish...

Answer 4

Most Christians don't understand that Jesus was an orthodox Jew from the West Bank.

Answer 5

Romans 9, 10, and 11 says that it's extremely difficult theology to say you're a Christian and yet not love the Jewish people.

True Christians do naturally love the Jews.

Answer 6

Actually we don't paint Christ with Blond hair and blue eyes. I don't understand why some Christians hate Jews, when we are actually a branch of the Jewish faith.

Answer 7

The Catholic church promulgated hatred of the Jews for over a millennium. They called Jews "jesus killers", indroduced the whole concept of "blood libel" (that jews need to kill and drink the blood of Christian babies to survive... like vampires) and countless atrocities against the group.

So- if you think it's an Oxymoron- you need to read up on your history.

Answer 8

Such people do not understand the details of Zechariah, Ezekiel, Romans ( 9 in particular ) , Jeremiah, and Isaiah.

Let us help each other.

Answer 10

Jesus or one of the Apostles stated that a true Jew was one inwardly, not outwardly. A true Jew is one who believes that Jesus died on the cross for their sins according to the scriptures, was buried, and rose again the third day, according to the scriptures. I am not of Jewish heritage, I am a Jew inwardly.
