Why all the hate for Jewish people lately?

The Fuentes, Owens, Carlson effect. It's larger than this board.

quote:

---

Your own bible tells you that they are the chosen people and you now revolt?

---

It does not.

However, since you mentioned it, Israel spends millions every year for Christian influencers to tell Christians this.

For example: Show Faith by Works

Here's one example of them at work:

How this $3.2 million Israeli campaign will digitally target Arizona Christians with anti-Palestinian ads

Also all those trips you see influencers making to Israel is paid for.

In all they spend about 100 million a year on influencers and such. None of that comes out of the money we give them so it's totally not our government funding propaganda for a foreign nation in our borders.

It does not.

Deuteronomy 7:6: God tells the Israelites, "The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession"

Israel was God's chosen people under the Old Covenant and that's an important part of the Bible's story. The New Testament is also pretty clear that Jews and Gentiles come to God on the same basis now -- through Christ.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek... for you are all one in Christ Jesus." -- Galatians 3:28

Being chosen never meant being morally superior or above criticism. It meant Israel had a particular role in God's plan.

Why all the hate for Jewish people lately?

---

If supporters of the Israeli state are disappointed that others don’t like them, maybe they can look into the reasons why, and cease doing those things.

Is it hate of Jewish people or hate of the Jewish influence on every single thing?

quote:

---

If that's what you think you should have just started and stuck with that instead of making a stupid statement that is easily proven false (the entire Old Testament affirms that Israel is God's chosen people) and then trying to pivot when someone does so.

---

It says nothing about a nation added thousands of years later, nor is it justification for Israel committing genocide in an effort to steal the land.

It's all bullshite propaganda.

quote:

---

Judaism is a race as well as a religion. Are you saying that the current Israelites are not the descendants of the Israelites in the Bible? If so, got a link?

---

It was talking to the people of that time.

Or again, do you believe the rest of that chapter where it says to destroy everything - which would include Christians?

Is it just the once verse you wish to cherry pick? I guess all of the instructions around it don't matter?

quote:

---

I don't know whether you are talking about the passage you quoted or are parroting the very disingenuous narrative of today's extra-stupid college protestor set, but either way it doesn't matter because no one on this thread claimed that. That's why it's a pivot.

---

Israel is currently committing genocide so they can expand their territory.

It is however in line with the rest of those passages which tells them to destroy everything - including Christians.

Furthermore, there is nothing I can see that says Christians must support this crap.

quote:

---

Again, just stick with that. That's a lot longer discussion to show you're wrong and you likely won't have any takers. The other tack you're trying is very quick and easy to show that you're wrong.

Israel spends over 100 million a year on propaganda. What the frick do you even think you can debate?

All of them can be true at the same time.

1. It's a bullshite claim that God did that in the first place. Just because some old book and religion makes the claim doesn't mean it's true.

2. Even if you believe it was God, It was directed towards the people at the time, and it was already fulfilled. They lost it because they became unfaithful. According to Christians, that was revived with Jesus, not some Nation.

3. Israel spends 100 million a year on propaganda, much of which is spent on trying to convince Christians they have an allegiance to Israel and to hate Muslims.

4. Israel is committing genocide and trying to take over more land and territory around them, part of the Greater Israel project.

Pick any of them if you want to debate them.

You're leaving out the context of the chapter.

Deuteronomy 7 isn't a standing command to Jews to kill everyone who isn't Jewish. Moses is speaking to ancient Israel as they are about to enter Canaan, and verse 1 specifically names the nations involved -- the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

The reason given for the prohibition on treaties and intermarriage is that these nations would turn Israel toward other gods. The chapter even specifically talks about tearing down their pagan altars and idols.

So whatever you think about the morality of those commands, they were given to Israel in a particular historical and covenant setting. Turning that into "the Bible tells Jews today to destroy everyone, including Christians" just isn't what the passage says.

---

Ok, so how does that translate into modern times if it was for a specific group of enemies - who no longer exist?

And that nation was formed and then fell because they became unfaithful.

There is no promise.

quote:

---

That's kind of the point. The conquest commands in Deuteronomy 7 don't translate into a modern command to kill anybody. They were given to ancient Israel concerning those specific nations in Canaan.

There are two truths sitting beside each other:
1. Israel does not possess salvation merely because of ancestry.
2. God has not simply discarded Israel or declared His covenant purposes meaningless.

---

And thus the nation promise no longer exists.

quote:

---

Regardless, Romans 9-11 makes it difficult to defend the position that "Israel was unfaithful, therefore God revoked everything and there is no promise anymore."

---

How so, the nation was conditional. It feel because of it.
