At the time the Bible was written, there was no such thing as a "Christian". That name came along much later. Thus the only reference to a believer in God was the term "Jew". Far from being anti-Semitic, this merely states that those who claim to believe in God but do not are hypocrites. We see that regularly, both in ourselves on a daily basis (as the wise man falls 7 times a day) and in others.
Sorry brother, that does not say what you want it to.
In the book of The Acts of The Apostles, Christians are separated from the Jews, by being called people of The Way.
As this is the Great Awakening and not an evangelical page devoted exclusively to religious themes, my comments will be brief and to the point. Jesus, as the Son of God, and the New Testament (which tells us of his life and death and resurrection) are all extremely pro-Jew. All the heroes of the New Testament are Jewish. Jesus was a faithful Jew who taught in the Synagogue. He wept for Jews, befriended Jews, helped Jews, and healed Jews. He rejected those who abused God for their own selfish power. If Jesus wanted to reject Judaism as evil, he could have done so easily and clearly. He did the exact opposite. He said: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Jesus is the Fulfillment of the Old Testament Prophets, and Jesus's statement is a clear affirmation of Judaism. God the Father Himself chose the Jewish people to bring Jesus as the Messiah into the world. He could have chose any people. He did not. This is the GREATEST honor God could have given a people and for this reason alone we owe the Jews a tremendous debt of gratitude for bringing the world the Savior.
