I live in Israel. Jews have went far from the Old Testament because of "oral law" given by rabbis who claim it was given to them from Moses. They wrote that man-made law in their books the Talmuds, where they also slandered Christ and His followers.
Erubin 21b: "My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the Scribes than in the words of the Torah."
Torah = Old Testament, especially the first five books.
Israelis hate Christians because the talmud teaches that Christians are idol worshipping subhuman gentiles that will be boiled in hot excrement in hell.
But Christians must not hate Israel, because then Christians also hate me who was born and raised there, and I will be sad and lonely. I don't know even one Christian who lives near me, even though they exist, they hide their faith to not offend the Jews.
Hello friend, new here but this title of "hate" caught my attention, because just as Jesus said that where a mans treasure is, so is his heart, likewise I believe what a man has disdain for says a lot also. I have a limited understanding of, well, life...but, I do have opinion! First, my opinion is this title is flawed...there is no presence of "hatred" from "Israelite's" towards Christians, if we indeed are talking about people who live in Israel. Now the Jews, being a religious sect, now they have hatred for Christians, of course, but that does not include all people of an entire region...nor are we talking about the Hebrew race of people, as a good many of them ARE Christian. No, this title should be "Why do Jews hate Christians"
This is such a involved topic I will try to stay focused on your post, as this subject IMO, deals with the stance that one religion has towards another, in man's eyes...and the classic "good verses evil" in Gods.
Your confusion with "Israel", and Judaism is exactly why the Devil propagates this twist of semantics! (concerning Semitics...lol) Israel was the name given to Jacob, and attributed to Jesus when establishing his kingdom on earth. Judaism in the times of Jacob was a holy religion, as the Messiah had not arrived. After the arrival of Jesus, any righteous "Jew" or Judaic would have transferred their reverance to Jesus, and become Christians (but only for one generation) After Christ's sacrifice the old covenant was fulfilled, and Jesus, or Israel, is the now "God head", and we live in the "Time of Grace".
The Devil want's people to confuse Israelite, Hebrew and Jew...because like with any shell game, he is under one of those...and Jesus directly points to Judaism!
Israelite = A person living in an area...a region...no real choice if born there...no different than any other place.
Hebrew = A person of the lineage of Abraham, a racial denotation like "white" or "black"...an accident of birth.
Jew or Judaic = A person practicing in the religion of Judaism, can be Hebrew, but can also be of any race (Proselyte)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
These are the "Children of the Devil" Jesus was talking about in John 8:44, and in Revelations 2:9, 3:9 as the "Synagogue of Satan".
There are no "chosen" people...there are no "special" people...there are no "cursed" people...all of this is established by people's choices, and luckily, we have Galatians to explain this for us! 3:26-29
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye
be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
When a Jew hear's this, they are infuriated (as are some Hebrews, as they have been told this all their lives, see Brother Nathanael) and indeed their (now) Satanic religion damns us as blasphemers...just as old scratch told them to do with Jesus! But in reality, they don't hate us...they hate Jesus!
John 15:18-21
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me
