May I know if there's any reason from Christian to dislike Jews. You believe that Jesus is g-d while Jesus is Jewish, some might believe that Jews mock Jesus. Is it religion or just politics, power or believe? Please advise, honest only...
peace

No, there is no religious reason in Christianity to dislike Jews at all, or anybody else, for that matter. People might reserve for themselves the right the dislike Jews for personal reasons, but these reasons aren't supported by scripture. It isn't only Jews who mock Jesus; it's done by all types of people. Christians are commanded only to hate evil, which means to refuse it--it's first and foremost a hating of personal evil, evil within oneself. Jesus was rather opposed to people taking on the sins of others. After all, that is what He was born to do Himself.
Curiously, there is a strain of Christianity that rather fetishizes Jews and Jewishness. They often refer to themselves as "Messianic Jews," and even call themselves Jewish, even though Jews don't recognize them as Jews, and the New Testament doesn't recognize them as racial Jews either. The New Testament does not approve of Christians identifying themselves by race; Jesus spoke against it, as He wanted everybody to understand that only God is sovereign, not peoples, and that God recognizes righteousness, not races.
So, when Christians dislike Jews, they are doing it for personal reasons. Political reasons are the same as personal reasons, as the only reasons Christians are supposed to hold in their hearts are the reasons given us by God. Having grudges against others is a denial of the forgiveness and mercy that God gave us via our Savior Jesus, the Lamb of God.

The Jews are the chosen people of God, period.
There is no reason for a true Christian to dislike the Jewish people. They just did not believe that Jesus was their Messiah that they were waiting for.
Today I believe that there are SO MANY countries that positively HATE and I mean HATE the Jewish people and Israel that between the news media and general propaganda many people dislike the Jewish people out of plain ignorance.

Hmm. Yours is definitely a slanted question. If you were in a court -- it will be dismissed. It is like asking "have you stopped beating your wife?". Of course there is no answer. People whether Christians or from other religions do not dislike "Jews" in general -- it could happen some dislike some --and the "some" could be of any religious denominations. To put words into our mouths and try to convince us that some christians do dislike jews is not the right question. So, in conclusion -- the answer is most christians do not dislike Jews -- and the few that do not like Jews --are not to be counted. I speak for many "who love" the Jewish people because of their great contributions to civilization anda good number who did win the Nobel prizes. I rest my case and yours too.

Jesus was indeed Jewish. Jesus is also God. The Bible says that Jesus came unto His own and they rejected Him.
Christians do not hate Jews. You see the Hebrews were looking for a King. They were not expecting the King to be Jesus. The truth is Jesus came to save the world and yet the Jews are still looking for a Messiah.

Christians are required to love everybody. Each person is an individual and equally valued in God's eyes. In the sermon on the mount Jesus said it's not good enough to love your neighbor, you have to love everyone under all circumstances. Even on the cross he prayed for forgiveness of the people persecuting him. So disliking Jews even on the basis that they rejected Christ is totally un-Biblical. Jesus made one commandment which was to love each other, and doing otherwise can't be considered Christian.

Mainly because these christians are upset that the Jews had the Romans crucify Christ. What they fail to understand is that 1.) Jesus was a Jew himself. 2.) Jesus came to die. Its the whole reason He was even here. To pay the price for our salvation. Any Christian who hates the Jews, needs to take some bible history and theology classes. Anyways, everybody who ever lived on this planet is responsible for crucifying Christ. Sure, the Romans and Jews might have *literally* killed him, but we have all sinned, and we all have part of the blame and responsibility for what Jesus went through.

I don't think Christians dislike Jews. Some Christian churches in my area have ecumenical gatherings with the members of local Jewish synagogues. Strong friendships are being forged between the two religious groups. I think most people nowdays like people for themselves, and religious beliefs don't even enter into it.
People are people.

I'm a born-again believer in God and His Son Jesus as the Christ.
Jesus was, in the flesh, a Jew, all writers of the Bible, from the get-go, were Jews/Israelites, all Prophets were Israelites, all Apostles were Israelites/Jews, Jesus' family were Jews/Israelites, and first Christians were Jews... They are the roots of our Christianity, they are the original branches and we (non-Jews) were/are the wild olive branches grafted into God.., what's NOT to love? What is to dislike? We Christians believe that Jesus Christ was the Word (of Godhead) become flesh and dwelt among us. We believe He was conceived by Mary from her acceptance of the angel's words to her.., when she said, "may it be unto me according to your word".., and it was. When WE take God's words into us and allow it/them to grow, we birth Him in our lives also.
Her acceptance along with God's words about conceiving a son along with the Holy Spirit's help became a Man without a contaminated bloodline; not the 'seed' of Adam, but of Abraham who BELIEVED God and obeyed God even to being willing to sacrifice His only son.
Those who bless Israel; the lineage of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, will God bless. God Bless Israel.
Great question...,
Peace

There is no reason to dislike Jews. Jesus was a Jew.
