nope------I grew up in a very Christian town. My parents never
spoke about hating anyone------I did attend sunday school lots.
and learned what you learned what Christian children are taught
about jews THERE------and in the homes of my Christian friends---
and school mates. I am a bit surprised that you never heard anything about jews in church-------when did you come to know that
Jesus was a jew ? (if ever..)
Of course we heard about Jews in church, but we weren't taught to hate them. What I've noticed in my limited interactions with you people is that you're extremely sensitive to the mere mention of the word "Jew" and immediately start thinking you're being persecuted.
What is it about the biblical Jews that offends you the most?
try again-----"biblical jews" ??? you mean the ones who hated
baby jesus so much that they threw his pregnant mama into
the stable? the ones who FORCED poor innocent SAINT
PONTIUS PILATE into crucifying him? The word "JEW" was
among the last words my great uncles and aunts heard before they
were gassed. Context is ALL
The main players in the Jesus story were either Romans or Jews. Some of them were good, some of them were bad and some of them were just bystanders. They were portrayed as flawed human beings, not monsters. You seem to take issue with the fact that the Jews in the bible were not portrayed as perfect angels capable of doing no wrong. That seems quite paranoid and rather supremacist of you...
it is clear to me that you never read the book. -----also that you
know nothing of the times. You are not alone. MOST people
never read it or anything that elucidates the era-------but if you are
anything like MOST Christians you have been told LOTS about it.
Your statement ".... you seem to take issue with the fact that the
jews in the bible are not portrayed as perfect angels....."------comes
from the depth of your imagination. Just how do you know HOW
the jews are portrayed since you never read the books. Try to be
candid--------and a tiny bit specific. I will try to help------is it your
impression that the person PONTIUS PILATE was reluctant
to crucify Jesus?
