"The Jews are a nervous people. Nineteen centuries of Christian love have taken a toll." Benjamin Disraeli. And this is from a born Jewish Christian convert over 150 years ago.
I have this image of Jesus coming back, and being a Middle Eastern liberal Jew who advocated non-violence, forgiveness, and Jewish pride, he'd be stoned to death by those who claim to have him in their hearts.
Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter."
Jesus even predicted those people. Good for him.
I really think they need to learn how to be friends with Jews. And seriously, it;s not hard. Treat us like human beings with wants, needs, opinions and diverse beliefs. We're humans with a proud culture.
Seriously, just Golden Rule us. It's not hard. Wait...who said that? Oh yeah, JESUS!
