Sigh that's like literally saying you're not making a threat to report the site to cloudflare, but then following up with basically a threat. But let's not even play the stupid game. Why don't you just leave? I don't mean that in the standoffish way, but'kinda like why force yourself to be miserable I guess to say? Maybe it's a generational perspective, but it seems just kinda dumb to come to a Christian forum, pretend to be outraged that the Bible says the Jews killed Jesus (really everyone in the world), and then pull out of context someone's personal exchange around the Problem of Evil. It makes zero sense to come and basically argue for atheists and promote them like Sam Harris while trashing all Christians. Like you even purposefully misquote him as saying "We will kill you" while showing the quote that doesn't even say that at all nor does the context of the full conversation include that at all. So like why don't you just leave? Why should people have to bend themselves or religion to you?
also, please explain how someone who existed in the 1930s can be complicit in a murder 2,000 years before they were born?
I wasn't aware that the 1930s Jews had time travel technology
no I never said anything about reporting I'm just commenting on the possible or even likely outcomes if someone were to report us. I've been here for 15 years and I don't want the forum shut down.
and yes, that comment did say you killed jesus, we will do the same to you. this is righteous judgment
Because the Jews who killed Jesus involved a curse upon themselves and their children. Which means,future generations. Matthew 27.also, please explain how someone who existed in the 1930s can be complicit in a murder 2,000 years before they were born?

also, I'm sure any moment now, someone will go ahead and explain how the 1930s Jews managed to time travel back 2000 years and kill jesus.

Do you see, your issue isn't Antisemitism.
Your issue is,you don't actually know the scriptures.

no, I just want the hate speech to stop.
also I know for a fact it at least one other member has reached out to mods in the past regarding this very same anti-semitic rhetoric
Now we are getting to an honest discussion. Whose definition of antisemitism should be used to evaluate this. I don’t think that it’s “no one cares” so much as this doesn’t quite rise to the level you perceive it has.
I was surprised that the US department of state has their published definition and I don’t think this quite checks all the boxes. Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward the Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals, their property, community, institution, religious facilities.
- The comment doesn’t show a hatred for the Jews nor does it appear to be directed at a anyone. It’s merely stating a hypothesis or poorly thought out opinion.
Examples of antisemitism include- Justifying the harming of Jews if it is “in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion”.
The comment doesn’t align or purport to align with any radical ideology or extremist religion I’m familiar with.
Then it says “accusing the Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or committed by non-Jewish”
This sounds like it could be implicated except “Jews as a people” is intending the present form of Jews as a people. Meaning it is not antiemetic to say the tribe of Benjamin deserved to be cut off from the Jews - because it isn’t a continued hatred of the present Jewish people.
Or we could adopt a more liberal Google definition of antisemitism - “hostility(unfriendly) toward Jewish people”; then consider Jesus would be an antisemite since he opposed the Jewish leaders and was condemned to death for it. So all of his followers (Christians) would be antisemites also. Then the very idea of any Christian site would violate the terms of service.

also I think this is the third time I've asked. please explain how someone who exists in the 1930s can be complicit in the murder of someone 2000 years before they were born?
also please provide scripture where it says the Jews deserve the Holocaust

You're talking about ignorance of scripture to someone who is ignorant of scripture.I feel like you are being sincere and something I was taught a long time ago was, stick to the facts and try not to exaggerate them.
No doubt the world has fallen spiritually in the last 15 years. I think the question you are trying to answer is, how do people blame the Jews. It is obvious to me the primary reason is lack of basic Bible knowledge. Most of the time that is because people will not read the Bible for themselves. So some of what you are seeing may meet a definition of antisemitism when it is only ignorance. I pray you would see it for what it is, and you being the more knowledgeable one, take time to present the accurate gospel to them which they not received.
I can’t do that from any translation I’d bother reading. I assume they are miss-reading Matthew 25 where they ask for the blood of Jesus to be on their hands and their descendants. The first problem with this is, this is only recorded in one gospel. It stands alone and should not be used for the basis of any doctrine. Second, it was not the Jews that killed Jesus, it was a small group of Jews who didn't follow the Mosaic law. Lastly, Jesus said no one could kill him unless he surrendered his life. The real irony here is those Jews didn’t kill Jesus, he surrendered his life to pay the price of his followers’ sins. So everyone that has sinned are responsible for killing Jesus. The double irony is that the blood of Jesus is what paid for our sins. When the group of Jews asks for Jesus’ blood to be on their hands, they are unknowingly asking for salvation to be on their descendants (that does not make them saved). What is meant to be a curse, is salvation.
Now, is God obligated to honor a curse? If given the choice, which one do you think God would honor? In the Bible the judgments swift and applied to those that disobey God. Not innocent people thousands of years later.
However, the Jews suffer to this day after rejecting the Messiah,because they did reject Jesus as Messiah
Yes, that is clear, but what is your view concerning God and the Bible. Do you believe the Holocaust was prophesied in the Bible. Do you believe the Holocaust was a burnt offering, an atoning sacrifice that led to them returning to Israel?I believe I have made my position abundantly clear so I don't know why we keep needing to rehash. ...
the 1930s Jews are not complicit in the crucifixion of Christ unless they built the time machine and went back 2,000 years.
assigning collective guilt to an entire race of people for something they didn't do is hate speech.
this type of rhetoric encourages anti-Semitism and violence against jews.
and then for someone to literally say you killed jesus, the same will happen to you. 6 million murders were righteously justified
if you can't see how that constitutes hate speech I can't help you and you are a lost cause.
