In reading Martin Luther, it hit me. The Jews were known to be scumbags throughout history.
“There is an ancient and long-standing charge of Jewish misanthropy, or hatred of mankind. One of the most famous instances was that of the Roman historian Tacitus, who wrote in his Annals (circa 110 AD) of the Jews’ “hatred of the human race” (odio humanitarian generis; XV).
109 countries.
Charlie Kirk made a great point in that he wants to save the land of Israel from Muslim takeover so he could visit Jesus’ birthplace and historical Christian sites. And that made sense to me. If the Muslims takeover, then they would likely destroy or ban us from ever visiting.
What if Trump knows the Israelis and Jewish people are the bad guys and is restoring Israel to the …. Christians. Putin and Russia may be planning with him. Some sort of political pincher move that gains critical mass and finally exposes them forever?
You have a misunderstanding of the context of scripture. Yes, Jesus made that prayer and sweated blood before or during it. But by the end of the prayer, he accepted the torture and death that was to come. Also, throughout the Bible, God uses evil people to advance his plans. However, God’s plan would advance with or without them. The book of Esther gives the best example of this. Finally, I am now seeing a lot of anti-Jewish hate on this site and blaming today’s Jews for the death of our Lord is one of them.
Again, there has been anti-Jew hate that has been published here. I have a big problem with the current Israeli government and have made posts and comments to that effect. But people on college campuses, and some here, have expanded this to include all Jews.
