Jews wrote the Old Testament which says that the Messiah would come to save them.
Jesus came and said he has come to save all of humanity, not just the Jews.
A lot of Jews agreed and, in time, they became the first pro-Christs - the first Christians.
The Jews who didn't agree became the first anti-Christs.
Zionist Israel was created with the heart and mind of anti-Christ. Christians in America were duped into believing that they should support Israel because of the Scofield Reference Bible released in 1917 (1909 according to some sources). Scofield was a con-man who was paid by a British "minister" named John Darby who told his parishioners to not take the Bible seriously. He lived in Leap Castle (The Most Haunted Castle in Ireland) which had a history of occult ceremonies and, when renovation work was being done the workers found the bodies of over 100 sacrifice victims.
The Bible does not say that Christians should support Israel. A con-man and an occultist masquerading as a man of God say that Christians should support Israel. Who do you follow?
A bit anachronistic to say “Jews wrote the Old Testament” More accurate to say hebrews or Israelites.
What I wrote was extremely over-simplified. If we start a conversation about the origins of Judaism and Christianity and who wrote what the conversation would go on for weeks. Things would get heated. It could get like the Council of Nicea. And I'm at work right now. My boss wouldn't stand for it.
Exactly, when Jesus came into the world and died for our sins, and was resurrected on the third day.
He did not come to do all this just for the "chosen people"; He did not come to save only Israel, he came for all of us, everyone who believes in him will be saved and everyone who obeys and worships him will have a place in the new earth.
Nobody wrote the Old Testament. We have no idea how long those stories were oral traditions before they were written. Further, what folks normally regard as "The Word" now is a controlled game of "telephone". What we have out there now is a translation from Greek (that had a quarter million words) to Proto-Hebrew (with just over 10,000 words). Then translated back to Greek.
Here's an example of what could happen from Uncle Clif. There's no Hebrew word for hippopotamus, so they might call it a horse in scripture (that which is written). They would call a mule, a giraffe, a donkey a horse or horse-like. You catchin' what I'm laying down?
