….with a theological basis.
Progressive….meaning ‘progress’? Seems, instead, they’ve devolved to that ol’ time religion to attack Jews.
1.The Democrat Party et al is well known to be anti-Semitic….here, tons of proof:
Jews and Democrats….Oil and Water ...which includes this warning…
“America’s Democratic Party is failing to purge from its own ranks agitators against the Jews. It’s even elevating them to important committees.
“Some of the most fashionable, high-profile progressives in the country at the moment — the leaders of the Women’s March, groundbreaking politicians celebrated for shattering glass ceilings — are the ones who hold deeply disturbing views …
We are in the early stages of an election where anti-Semitism is likely to emerge as one of the issues…” A Pasionara Against Progressive Anti-Semitism
2. From the Jewish magazine, The Tablet, an erudite explanation of the Progressive Theology (Why the Left Is Repeating Christianity's Most Dangerous Historical Mistakes, and Why It's Bad for the Jews)
The author provides an impassioned attempt to explain Progressives hatred of Israel as in " the early history of Christianity….What we’re seeing right now, then, is the strange spectacle of progressives pursuing the same thorny theology that much of Christendom abandoned long ago, the theology of supersessionism. Also known as replacement theology, this idea developed early on in the history of Christianity, …[if] Christians were God’s new chosen people, what, then, was to be done about the chosen people of old, the Jews? …the Jews had forfeited their right to their special status…
3. …it was Augustine …the early Christian theologian was, as ever, the smartest person around, and he offered his fellow Christians a better alternative. The Jews, he argued, were Christianity’s witnesses: “But the Jews who slew Him,” he wrote, referring, naturally, to Jesus, “are thus by their own Scriptures a testimony to us that we have not forged the prophecies about Christ.” See things this way and the Jews are no longer worthy of eternal servitude. Instead, they become intimates of their Christian brothers and sisters. “For in the Jewish people was figured the Christian people,” Augustine wrote.
4. While the Celts and the Druids and the other tribes who came under the church’s rule could be slaughtered or assimilated or otherwise made to disappear, the Jews continued to pose a special problem: Christian civilization, it seemed, often couldn’t live without them, and even more often couldn’t live with them. And so, the Jews were mocked, discriminated against, relegated to narrow ghettos, forced to convert, tortured by the Inquisition, expelled, accused, despised. But they persisted, because all but the most maniacal bigots understood that they were the children of God, and that their covenant with the Creator, even if you believed it to have expired, was still meaningful enough to respect, however begrudgingly.” Why the Left Is Repeating Christianity's Most Dangerous Historical Mistakes, and Why It's Bad for the Jews
So....according to the most atavistic of Christians.....who were the new 'chosen people'???
“Supersessionism, also called replacement theology or fulfillment theology, is a Christian doctrine which asserts that the New Covenant through Jesus Christsupersedes the Old Covenant, which was made exclusively with the Jewish people.” Supersessionism - Wikipedia
No longer Christian doctrine…..but useful to Progressives.
Next….how and why Christianity gave replacement theology up.
