God is the author of the Bible. He has Divinely inspired the multiple human authors to place in writing what they wrote. A careful examination of OT textual content textile demonstrates that it somewhat is a prophecy of the NT. As such, the NT confirms the OT. it could be much less complicated to appreciate in case you have been to think of of the human beings greater as scribes than authors. they're penning the understand God, no longer unavoidably their very own words - whether they do no longer comprehend it. the unique Scriptures have been penned in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. the actual shown fact that God's be conscious could be transcribed into even one human language is dazzling sufficient. the actual fact unique manuscripts have been written in 3 languages shows the Scriptures can certainly via translated into any human language. particular, we would desire to continually beware for "rubbish" Bibles with unfavourable translations, however the actual fact rubbish bibles exist does not propose there are not valid translations attainable. Believing that the Bible is the Written understand God is an editorial of religion. you're the two going to believe it or no longer. in case you do no longer suitable now, with a bit of luck sometime you will.

It's in the Bible - but he calls Jerusalem a whore because of their sinning ways, NOT because they're Jewish.
The book of Jeremiah, especially, is a wild read - God says stuff about women who deserve to be raped, and all sorts of crazy crap.

People put words in God's mouth.
Since God created the solar system he would have known that the Earth was not the center of the universe.
Was there a communication problem between God and his earthly representative, the Pope?
To paraphrase Struther Martin in Cool Hand Luke, What we got here is a failure to communicate.

God does not call Jerusalem a "WHORE" in the Bible!

Is criticism antisemitic now? Are criticisms of nations considered ethnic slurs? What is criticism of the United States? Is it antisemitic if the criticisms were issued by fellow Jews againt the Judean political structure?

He is simply using strong verbiage to exhibit how immensely displeased He is with Jeruselem. He felt completely betrayed and compared it to how a whore might make one feel. There is nothing antisemitic about God.

No. It is a metaphor. The Israel is God's bride and he is her husband. Israel constantly cheats on God when she turns from him and worships idols and false Gods. Yet when she repents God always takes her back. She eventually is unfaithful again. In a sense she is a 'whore'

Father God = Husband
Israel = Wife
Jesus = Son
Christians = Bride of Jesus
God (Husband) drew Israel out of slavery in Egypt and made her His wife. Although God has bestowed blessings and blessings upon her (Israel), Israel kept worshiping idols (demons). Various idol worships included having orgies, throwing their children into the fire, chopping them up, etc. to appease demon gods. So God speaks strongly against Israel and refers to her activities as harlotry (whoredom). (Read history and Ezekiel 16)

No. God is "no respecter of persons". God's love is perfect - from everlasting to everlasting. He desires not to lose a single one. God's love is for all. He has no prejudice or intolerance for any individual. He does love the person, not the sins. And all this is from the Greatness of God - much better, more magnificent, perfect love that humans beings are only vaguely capable of imagining. Human beings have a tendency to put God's love on the same level as that of humans... but it does not compute to do that in reality.
Remember, not everyone is on the same page with fundamentalism beliefs where the Bible is concerned. Not everyone anthropomorphizes God. Not even the Bible professes to the beginning and ending of all truth and of God's "word". God is far greater and more magnificent than has ever been revealed to our world. Only in mind and soul can mankind even begin to fathom the immensity and perfection of the goodness of God.
The moral nature of humankind in those cultures and societies of those days was somewhat different from our society in America today. This is a no-brainer, really. It is also true that the perceptions of people about God were different as well. In the historical accounting of the Bible it is easy to see the development of God going from being a wrathful jealous God to one of perfect everlasting Love and Mercy.
If a prophet or priest or rabbi or Imam was to criticize the culture or society or nation or city or any group of people, it may very well have fallen into the pages of "it is written" considering their stature of lording themselves over the people. And then this is a human criticizatidn based upon whatever knowledge that human being has accumulated and for whatever motive the king or rabbi wanted to do it.
What is the true source of that knowledge? Who actually had the privilege of writing the books in the Bible? I say to all of you that these writings were done by the "educated scribes" in an education system that was existent in those days specific to those cultures. Not everyone was even allowed to learn to write, or to read for that matter.
The criticizing of the affairs of Jerusalem may very well have been handed down from the Heavenly Host to the person who dictated the information to the scribe who then had all privilege and confidence to write what was told to them. Sometimes these people really were inspired by God.
If a city were not actually pleasing to God, in all his infinite and eternal wisdom, then it would certainly be through his loving and caring ministries - the heavenly host charged with care and keeping of the individuals and groups in those societies in those days - that change would be put in motion. If God so wills something, that thing IS. God has done things the same old practical way forever.
And that's exactly what did happen when Jesus of Nazareth came to reveal God as our loving Father to the human beings of those days.
No, God can not be and is not anti-semitic. God does not approve of sin or sinful conduct, but He sure loves all - and knows what everyone needs before they ask it. God meets all of his earthly children "where they are at" so to speak. For God is everywhere, and everyone moves and lives and has their being in Him. Therefore we are in God, and God is in us ... and let's fathom the fact that God is his own personality and so are each of us.
The problem with the question then is not so much if God is anti-semitic as it is with not knowing God's greatness, His perfection, His Love vs. that which people perceived about God and wrote down in books that were to be historical accounts - and never intended to become the "word of God" in the mind of man. The problem is people search for God in the skies, in books and in religions when He is right here now all the time, always has been and will always be.
