| Okay, here's a thought for any of you who are Christians, or claim Jesus as your savior. If you hate the Jews, you hate Jesus as well. Yes, the very same Jesus you claim to love and cherish, if you hate Jews, you actually hate him. Why? It's not because the Jews are God's people, although that's some of it. It's not because the Jews inhabit Israel, nor the fact that they were the first nation as a whole to serve God. The primary reason why hating the Jews is also hating Jesus is one simple thing. Jesus was a Jew. Yes, I said it. Jesus was a Jew. Don't believe me? Read your bible. God chose Abraham (originally Abram at the time of his calling) to be the father of "many nations". Ie, a large group of people. From Abraham through the 12 tribes he continued his plan for salvation, going through the period of the Egyptian captivity, the 40 years of wandering in the desert, early Israel, the eventual kingdom of Israel, the fall, the consecutive captivities, ultimately reaching the time of Rome and the birth of Jesus through Mary, who was *Jewish*, and by legal birthright of his father Joseph, who was *Jewish*, out of the tribe of Judah, which was *Jewish*. He then served 3 years witnessing to his fellow Jews, of whom became the first members of the Church. It wasn't until years later that Gentiles began being added to the number. Because in the beginning the vast, vast majority of the church was Jewish populated by Jews. The Gentiles only came later after the core of the Jewish population rejected Christ and persecuted the Christians out of the nation and into the Gentile lands. So, if you're a Christian and you're not Pro-Jewish, then you're not really a Christian. Or if you are, you don't know the truth of Christ. He came first to the Jewish people, and then to the world. Did he cast them off when they rejected him given the "replacement theology" of some modern preachers? Given that there were millions of Jews who were believers at the fall of Jerusalem, and there were millions of others throughout the centuries, even up to today, actual Messianic Jews (IE, Christians that are Jewish), then the answer is no. So if you hate Jews, yet claim to be a Christian, you need to do a huge heart check. Because you can't hate the Jews, yet claim to love Christ, because to hate the Jews is to also hate your Savior, because he too was and is a Jew. Now, after hearing this hard truth, let me leave you with two choices. You can either repent and ask forgiveness of God for your sin of hating *HIS* chosen people, and then begin loving, helping, praying for, protecting, and otherwise caring for the Jewish people, even witnessing to them, or you can stop calling yourself a Christian. Because to be Christian means you love Christ, and to love Christ means to love a Jew, and not just a Jew, but the greatest of all Jews ever. |
