Jewish Objections 1.10 Burn in Hell if not a Chrstian

Michael Brown of ICN Ministries, born a Jew, but turned to Chrstianity during his youth. He has written many books trying to convince Jews to become Chrstians and many missionaries quote from him.

Jewish Objections 1.10 Burn in Hell if not a Chrstian

Postby Sophiee » Fri Nov 03, 2006 1:06 pm

page 28 (Book 1, heading 1.10):

What happens to Jews who do not believe in J-sus – especially those who never heard about him? What happened to my wonderful Jewish grandmother who never hurt anyone in her entire life? Is she in hell?


In a nutshell, Brown says “yes she is.”

1:10 plays on all those Xian fears of “if you don’t believe in the man-god you’ll burn in hell forever.” Brown goes on to say we need to be saved (from what pray tell?). 1.10 just continues to prey on fear – follow Xianity “or else.”

First he says (page 28):

G-d is both a compassionate and righteous Judge, there are consequences to breaking His commandments.


Now this is a particularly interesting comment by Dr. Brown. He seems to think that there is a commandment to follow J-sus, but Torah tells us just the opposite. Torah tells us that following any false gods or men is breaking some of the most important of all mitzvot – idolatry.

Take this one for example:

Before Me no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me. I, even I, am HaShem, and besides Me there is no Savior.” Isaiah 43:11


Brown is right that there are consequences to breaking G-d's mitzvot – because if one were to follow Brown's advice one would be doing the opposite of what G-d decrees in Torah. It is as if Brown is saying "the law says don't commit incest, but it is OK to have sex with your sibling."

Huh? If you think the example I gave is too extreme, re-read Isaiah 43:11 (above). There is no other god than HaShem. He is the only savior. Don't worship men. Don't follow gods that you "didn't know at Sinai."

Brown can certainly write well, but what he says is the opposite of what Torah teaches.

Brown goes on to say (same page):

If we reject His means for atonement, we are in trouble


Right again, Dr. Brown. But then he ignores what Torah tells us are "His means of atonement." Instead he says we should believe that the murder of a man (demi-god?) by some Romans somehow atones even though there is nothing in Torah to support this (and everything in Torah is against it).

All of the ways given in Torah to atone have NOTHING to do with J-sus or the Xian concept of J-sus dying on a cross for their sins.

Brown goes on to repeat that we need the death of J-sus to atone.

Page 32:
All of us have sinned, all of us need a savior, and J-sus alone is that savior. All of us are guilty, all of us have become separated from G-d, and Y- shua alone can wipe away our guilt and bring us into a right relationship with G-d.


He becomes even more blunt a few pages later (page 33)

How then should we view the state of those (both Jews and Gentiles) who have never heard about the Messiah and Savior? We should see them as people about to get on a plae we know will soon crash. .In terms of those who never heard about J-sus we believe that virtually all of them are in a fallen, lost state. . .our responsibility. . .is to tell everyone that there is a judgment, there is a hell. . .and there is one way of escape: J-sus the messiah has paid for our sins.


What happened to that just and righteous G-d that Brown spoke of just a few pages ago? He will expletive deleted you eternally if you don’t believe in the man god.

Some compassionate god.

Some just god.

Some righteous god.

This is what Xianity teaches and Brown parrots it. But is this what the Torah teaches us? Nope. Is this told us in the ‘nach? Again, absolutely not.

We may all sin, but we can save ourselves from sin (see Genesis 4:7 where G-d tells Cain that he can master evil – he himself, not a human sacrifice). No, this is just more “believe in J-sus or go to hell” fear mongering so common among missionaries.

Ergo if Cain can CHOOSE he isn’t “born evil” or “born into sin.”

Read the psalm 24 which speaks of man being given a pure heart. In Genesis we also find out that mankind has an "evil inclination" ("evil in their heart") from their youth, not from birth:

Genesis 8:21 - And the L-rd smelled the pleasant aroma, and the L-rd said to Himself, "I will no longer curse the earth because of man, for the inclination of man's heart is evil from his youth, and I will no longer smite all living things as I have done.


So G-d tells us as early as Genesis 4 that we ourselves can master sin and evil – that we ourselves must take responsibility and atone. Not only are we NOT born into “original sin” there is no other person that can take the blame for your actions.

You and you alone must atone for your sins.

Evil is not external to you – a devil or a taint. Evil is internal to you – it is part of who you are. Evil and good battle inside each of us and we have the power to choose good over evil. We are, with the aid of G-d, our own saviors.

What is sin? Sin is anything that moves you farther away from G-d. Praying through an intermediary (aka J-sus) moves you farther away from G-d. No one can "save you from sin" except you -- since sin moves you farther away from Him, you have the power to move yourself closer to Him.

'See! I give you today (a choice of) a blessing and a curse. The blessing, when you listen to the commandments of G-d your L-rd, which I command you today. The curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of G-d your L-rd, and you deviate from the path which I command you today, in order to follow other gods which you did not know.' (Deut. 11:26-28)


Per Brown we are all sinners who need to be saved by the big daddy god in the sky (who made the whole mess in the first place, or we wouldn’t BE sinners or damned – their god made us, right?). But we have no control. We are helpless. We need to believe in the man-god dying for our rotten souls.

This is most certainly NOT what Torah teaches. Torah teaches that there is no original sin. We are not “born into sin.” We do not need to be saved (saved from what?). The G-d of Torah does not “mess up” and we don’t need fixing.

He created us for a purpose. Yes, we can and do sin – but it is our choice to sin, to not sin – and if and when we do to repent and try to do better next time. We are not babies, not children who are helpless.

And how could a few Romans killing one man with a spear on a wooden cross save all those sinners any way? Is there any hint in Torah or ‘nach that THIS is what G-d wants?

No. Read the Tanach it is the opposite. Start with Psalm 51 which puts the nail in the coffin of 1.10 completely – but read on because there are many more that show the Xian concept of the cruel god who demands the murder of J-sus and the faith in the man-god alone as nowhere planted in the G-d of Israel. If you just read the Tanach it becomes obvious that Dr. brown and missionaries like him are very, very far from the mark:

You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of G-d are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O G-d, you will not despise. [Psalm 51:16-17]

To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Eternal than sacrifice. [Proverbs 21:3]

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require. [Psalm 40:6]

He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. [Proverbs 28:13]

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. [2 Chronicles 7:14]

But if from there you seek the Eternal your G-d, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. [Deuteronomy 4:29]

He prays to G-d and finds favor with him, he sees G-d's face and shouts for joy; he is restored by G-d to his righteous state. [Job 33:26]

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. [Psalm 34:14]

Take words with you and return to the Eternal. Say to him: "Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the bulls of our lips. [Hosea 14:2]

Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Eternal a man avoids evil. [Proverbs 16:6]

For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of G-d rather than burnt offerings. [Hosea 6:6]

With what shall I come before the Eternal and bow down before the exalted G-d? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Eternal be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Eternal require of you? Only to do Justice, and to love Mercy and to walk humbly with your G-d. [Micah 6:6-8]

Sophiee, you make many claims that no Jew would ever agree with.

Sophie said; "You and you alone must atone for your sins."

and

"We are, with the aid of G-d, our own saviors."

Sophie obviously forgot the quote

Before Me no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me. I, even I, am HaShem, and besides Me there is no Savior.” Isaiah 43:11

Isaiah 53 says

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.

This is the nature of atonement, and how we are saved from the consequences of our sins, which is death. Adam ate from a fruit and died, and regardless of how much Adam repented or cried to God, Adam still faced the consequences of sin; death. Adam was not allowed back to the garden by just repentance and faith, nor any amount of good works.

Atonement is ALWAYS an external giving.

Blood Atonement
Lev 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls

Blood atonement IS biblical. The suffering Savior is from Torah.

The reason the temple is destroyed, and Deuteronomy 28 came true (Israel was to be cursed, scattered to all the nations and few in number if they ever rejected Covenant with God), and why the holocaust sadly happened, is because Jews are no longer in a right relationship with God.

Before Christ came, the Jews knew Christ through shadows; the passover, day of atonement, all of the Mosaic Covenant were pictures of the One to come. All these ancient shadows and stories from the past are yet about a present day reality; that is Christ, the Savior, who made final atonement for sin, ushered in everlasting righteousness (Daniel 9:24), and brought both Jew and Gentile to worship the God of Israel (Isaiah 49).

Uy vey!

Here we go again.

Sophiee will be more than happy to resond to your message with biblical scripture that shows everything you claim to be false.

Venom,
Do you know what G-d means when He says "saviour" in the Hebrew Bible?


Have you actually read anything more in the Hebrew bible than just "proof texts" that claim to be refering to jc?

You've got it all wrong. G-d says human sacrifice is an abomination, so why would He do it?

G-d shows us how to repent for our sins and forgives us, WITHOUT blood (hard to believe right?).

You must be new to this, or else you just believe what you have been told.

But have no fear. We will show you EXACTLY what G-d says.

But Adam did not repent or cry to G-d. He blamed Eve and she blamed the serpent. None of them repented so they were tossed out of Eden.

Are you saying then if Adam and Eve did repent, they wouldn't have died? Or that they would have returned to the Garden? I think not.

The wage of sin is death, end of story. We will die because we sinned.

Now, atonement is for the 2nd death; we deserve to be separated from God eternally for our transgressions against Him, and the Messiah's mission was to come and make atonement for our souls. This is the salvation spoken of by all the prophets, and the very reason God selected Israel in the first place; to solve the Adamic fall and make a way for man to return back to a right relationship with God through atonement.

Sin is the problem, and Messiah is the solution. The atonement found in the Mosaic Covenant was a shadow of the final atonement to come.

LOL, this poster says I make claims that no Jew would agree with and then he quotes the very 'Torah that shows his statement is a lie.

Show me one proof in the Jewish bible where human sacrifice is acceptable. Just ONE.

This poster mentions Isaiah 53:6, as if it applied to the mythical Jsus who no one knows existed. Read it in context of the entire Servant songs of Isaiah. Jsus never fit Isaiah 53 (if he ever lived) -- let alone 53;6. It doesn't have to do with vicarious atonement (Jsus atoning for the sins of the world -- as if things are better now than then).

Wow, has nothing to do with the sinning non-biblical observant Jsus of the GT. Isaiah 53:6 IS a continuation of 53:3 where the leaders of the Gentile nations are speaking. They are saying that they went astray. Taking one line and lifting it out of context while ignoring all the rest (e.g., Jsus didn't live a long life, didn't have children, didn't die with the rich or was buried with the poor, etc.) -- and ignoring the context of the goyim saying that the nations sinned while the Jews suffered (Isaiah 53:6) is duplitous at best and deceitful at worst. . .

Then the poster jumps to Leviticus 17:11 as if that had anything to do with Jsus, too. The amazing thing of missionaries is the picking and choosing of words or snippets totally ignoring the actual meaning of the bible. You attribute te suffering Savior from Torah totally ignoring what Leviticus 17 says.

Amazing. Truly.

Leviticus 17:11 says nothing about sin let alone suffering servants. You are lifting one thing out of context and trying to plaster it onto something else that has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Might as well say we breathe air and our hearts pump blood, therefore air is blood.

Huh?

Totally illogical. Just like your post.

Leviticus 17:11 says nothing about atoning for sin. Neither does Exodus 30. The Xian position that only blood atones for the SOUL is in error.

You do NOT need blood to atone for sin and Torah makes that very clear as far back as Genesis 4:7. Sin lurks at our door, but MAN can over come it.

And if you need blood to atone for sin please explain why in Genesis 4 when Cain exclaims that his sin is to great to bear, why doesn't G-d tell him to go out and kill a goat?

How about Genesis 18? G-d tells Abraham He will forgive Sodom and Gemorahs' sins if He can find 10 righteous men.

RIGHTEOUS MEN. No blood sacrifices -- nowill forgive the sins of Sodom and Gemorah if Abraham can find even 10 righteous men.

You'll find this throughout Torah -- Pharoah asks Moses to pray for G-d to forgive him (not make a sacrifice). Moses goes to Mount Sinai to plead for G-d to forgive Israel's sin of the golden calf (no sacrifices).

There are so many of these examples.

And let us not forget:

Proverbs 16:6
Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the L-RD a man avoids evil
.

Blood may atone for SOME very specific sins (see primarily Leviticus 4 and 5 for information on the chatat and asham) it has never been necessary and it has never been the only way to atone even for those very specific sins.

As has been pointed out here before the communal sin offer of the Scapegoat was not even a blood sacrifice.

So we are left with two conclusions:

1. blood is not the only thing that atones for a lifeforce -- so do money and jewelry;

2. blood is not the only thing that atones for sin -- and when it does there are very specific rules about what sins are covered -- and what can be sacrificed -- and where and when.[/quote]

You said I make many claims that no Jew would ever agree with. Only uneducated Jews -- most of whom have heard the Xian lies that you espouse here. The Torah is clear. You might try reading it in more than sound bites (aka "proof texts").

Talk about confusing two concepts! Blood atonement is biblical -- but ONLY as it applies to kosher animals sacrificed appropriately per Torah in the Tabernacle or Torah in the proper manner is one thing. And only applicable to certain requirements -- either a cheit (unintentional sin) or asham (specific guilts related to impurity of the Temple), etc. Blood atonement is NOT an end all or be all -- and it doesn't atone for "future sins." (things that haven't happened yet).

Blood atonement is ONE way to atone, not the only way , and not any way at all for serious sins. Read about David and Bathsheva or even about Cain and Abel. Your post is simplistic and insulting to Torah.

Suffering saviors is a another issue (and also not at all biblical). Human beings can't atone for another person's sin. Read Moses. Read David. Read the dang Torah!!!!!

FYI human sacrifice is not only forbidden, it is disgusting to G-d. The suffering servant is in the Tanach (not Torah), but it is not the savior. The only savior is G-d -- who is omnipotent (all powerful) and thus can't suffer.

You seem to be jumbling together biblical truths with total nonsense. If we want to try and support any arguments here try doing so with quotes and not just platitudes -- but be forwarned that so far you are off to a bad start -- just stating your opinion as fact with no biblical support. Not a very good start.

OK, I just responded to your first post and am more than happy to reply to your total falsehoods in future posts. However, please read the forum rules. Proselytizing is forbidden and so far all you are doing is spouting nonsense without having read one post in the FAQ (all of which toss your posts on their tush).

Take your rant above about Adam and Eve (Chava). It is total nonsense according to the Torah. You are just regurgitating the idea of "original sin" aka Xianity which needs it otherwise you don't need Jsus to be your "perfect sacrifice."

All of which is an anathema to Torah. Total poo-poo.

There are different types of sin, even though English uses only one word. The generic Hebrew word for any kind of sin is aveira. The three major types of sin are:

Pesha - An intentional sin; an action committed in deliberate defiance of G-d;

Ovon - This is a sin of lust or uncontrollable emotion. It is a sin done knowingly, but not done to defy G-d;

Cheit - This is an unintentional sin.

Now if Adam commited "original sin" to warrant death, condemning mankind, etc. you'd think it would have to be a pesha, right? Or at least an ovon -- to defy G-d.

Nope. It is a cheit. An unintentional sin. A "missing of the mark." A boo-boo if you will. The word comes from an arrow that misses its target. The result may have ramifications, but the act was not done with malice aforethought.

The story of Adam and Eve (Chava) shows the gulf between Xianity and Judaism. Even at this starting point the two faiths diverge greatly. Original sin is not a Jewish concept. People are not “born into sin” because of the fall of Adam and Chava (Eve). The serpent is not Satan – it is just a serpent.

Xianity NEEDS original sin. Xian theology holds that a sinless J* was part of the heavenly Father's plan from the outset, to redeem mankind. After all, the act of disobedience by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the Fall of Man, placed the stain of sin on humanity, one that cannot be removed through a person's own actions.

This opens the way for J*, the perfect sacrificial offering of the future, was born through the impregnation by the Holy Spirit of the virgin, Mary. J* was thus born without the stain of Original Sin, since he was conceived of G-d and not through the customary act of copulation by two sinful humans.

First of all: sex is not “sinful” it is a gift from G-d to “be fruitful and multiply.” Secondly there is no original sin that makes all of mankind tainted so that a human sacrifice (or god-sacrifice) has to come along to redeem us. Man is not born “into” sin.

How do we know that the sin wasn’t that grievous? Because of the Hebrew word used to describe the sin. In Hebrew there are many words for sin, but the big “three” are pasha (a rebellion against G-d), an ovom (a lustful act of passion) and a cheit – an unintentional “missing of the mark.”

Torah tells us that Adam and Chava commited a cheit. A missing of the mark. The word comes from an arrow that misses its target. The result may have ramifications, but the act was not done with malice aforethought.

Hardly the stuff “original sin” comes from.

Further we know that G-d didn't immediately punish Adam and Chava and bar them from the Tree of Life because they disobeyed and ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, but He gave them an opportunity to repent and tell Him the truth (after they had eaten and could recognize that it was wrong to disobey). Teshuva – repenting and turning to G-d.

But Adam and then Chava failed to do teshuvah but blamed someone else for their actions. Chava blamed the serpent. Adam blamed Chava. No one said “I’m sorry. I did wrong. Forgive me.”

So was the real sin the eating of the fruit, or the immature finger pointing and refusal to take responsibility that happened after they ate the fruit? The far greater sin is the second one. The whole point is that teshuvah is an essential part of Torah, and thus Torah gives us the opportunity to partake of eternal life (i.e, communion with G-d) even when we sin – but we must take responsibility for our own actions.

Xians say G-d cursed Adam and Chava – to a horribly hard life and to death. This is because of their “fall from grace.” But that is not what Torah says happened. G-d curses the serpent – not Adam and Chava!

“Cursed are you”, arur atah, is not repeated, nor is a synonym used when G-d addresses Chava and Adam.

Instead G-d says arurah ha'adamah, cursed is the earth/ground. This speaks of the earth/ground that Adam will have to work - but G-d does not curse Adam or Chava.

This major point is lost in the Xian concept. G-d does not curse Adam and Chava! Adam and Chava are punished, but they are not cursed. They are told that they will not be "on easy street" because of their transgression - she will have pain in childbirth, and he will have to sweat to earn his bread.

People are not born into sin. People are born with an inclination to evil and may choose between good or evil. Again, this is clearly stated in Torah.

This is re-enforced in Genesis 4:7 when G-d speaks to Cain and tells him that good and evil are his choices and that he (Cain) should choose good. G-d tells Cain that he can master evil.

Ergo if Cain can CHOOSE he isn’t “born evil” or “born into sin.”

Read the psalm 24 which speaks of man being given a pure heart. In Genesis we also find out that mankind has an "evil inclination" ("evil in their heart") from their youth, not from birth:

Genesis 8:21 - And the L-rd smelled the pleasant aroma, and the L-rd said to Himself, "I will no longer curse the earth because of man, for the inclination of man's heart is evil from his youth, and I will no longer smite all living things as I have done.


So the curse against the earth made when Adam and Chava ate of the tree is lifted.

So G-d tells us as early as Genesis 4 that we ourselves can master sin and evil – that we ourselves must take responsibility and atone. Not only are we NOT born into “original sin” there is no other person that can take the blame for your actions. You and you alone must atone for your sins.
Evil is not external to you – a devil or a taint. Evil is internal to you – it is part of who you are. Evil and good battle inside each of us and we have the power to choose good over evil. We are, with the aid of G-d, our own saviors.

Ain't no such thing as man being born into sin because of some mistake Adam and Chava (Eve) made and the serpent was just a serpent.

Our rabbis teach that before Adam and Chava partake of the tree it was easy to tell the difference between good and evil -- it was black and white. If Adam and Chava had waited G-d would have given them permission to eat of the tree (when they were mature enough to understand it -- after Shabbat).

By choosing they gained the knowledge before they had the wisdom to control it. But it is interesting that while the serpent was cursed -- Adam and Chava were not cursed.

So tell me again why your messiah aka man-god has anything at all to do with what G-d wants of man? (Hint: nothing. It is all pagan and nonsense).

Boy, how'd I miss this one?

This anti-semite hating devil passing as a human will no doubt be banned soon.

Before s/he is he should actually read the very JEWISH bible they distort.

The Temple destroyed in Deuteronomy 28 was rebuilt -- and his supposed messiah prayed there. Guess s/he ignored all those little bits that don't play with his / her hatred of Jews. Jews like his / her supposed messiah who was "born under the Torah" (per the GT).

The Jews are not in a right relationship with G-d? We rejected the covenant?

Sheessh. You'd think these folks that dare to come to a Jewish forum to insult us Jews would actually READ their own supposed holy bible!

I'll even add one to your Xian's list. G-d called Israel a whore.

But after calling Israel a whore He said he would NEVER divorce us. Compare that to the GT which says that He did exactly that.

“Return, O backsliding children,” says the L-rd, “for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.” (Jeremiah 3:14)


So what that there have been bad Jews? At least we admit it (unlike Xians who ignore Xian barbarians like the Nazis with "they aren't REAL Xians). There have always been good Jews. There have been bad Jews, too. We don't confuse the two and we don't say that all Jews are "good" (as do the Xians who deny the evil among themselves).

None of that has anything to do with the hatred spewed out in this person's post. G-d, (Big news flash: read your bible -- the one you profess to believe) has NEVER deserted the Jews).

(1 Chronicles 16:14-17) "He is the HaShem our G-d; his judgments are in all the earth. Remember His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations, which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac; and He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an *everlasting* covenant."

So what if Israel was rebellious?

As for G-d warning Israel about kings -- I take it your Xian forgot about Jacob's deathbed words to the tribe of Judah???

You might remind the Xian:

Leviticus 26:44 "And yet for all that (rebellion), when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, destroy them, [nor] break the covenant with them, for I am HaShem, their G-d."


So to you Xian's accounting of our various communal sins I say phooey! Have him read Jeremiah 31:35-36:

Thus says the L-rd, Who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar-- the L-rd of hosts is His name: If this fixed order were ever to cease from My presence, says the L-rd, then also the offspring of Israel would cease to be a nation before Me forever. Thus says the L-rd: If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be explored, then I will reject all the offspring of Israel because of all they have done.


In other words, hating and hateful person, G-d will NEVER reject us Jews.

Xians such as this hating Xian (who no doubt thinks they are "loving") ignore all those bits about the eternal Torah. They ignore all those bits about G-d never "divorcing" or "abandoning" the Jews.

Wow, so much hatred is amazing in one who proclaims so much love isn't it?

Hypocrisy. Andy they wonder why, ignoring the Torah itself, we wouldn't leap at being part of such hatred!

The reason the temple is destroyed, and Deuteronomy 28 came true (Israel was to be cursed, scattered to all the nations and few in number if they ever rejected Covenant with God), and why the holocaust sadly happened, is because Jews are no longer in a right relationship with God.

Before Christ came, the Jews knew Christ through shadows; the passover, day of atonement, all of the Mosaic Covenant were pictures of the One to come. All these ancient shadows and stories from the past are yet about a present day reality; that is Christ, the Savior, who made final atonement for sin, ushered in everlasting righteousness (Daniel 9:24), and brought both Jew and Gentile to worship the God of Israel (Isaiah 49).


Oh and the other 5 million people who died in the Holocaust that weren't Jewish, 3 million of whom were Polish Catholics and Christians, why did they die according to your twisted theology? Was that a 2,000 year delayed reaction as well?

God makes it clear that His divine protection would abide with Israel as a nation always, so long as they were obedient in a Covenant relationship with Him.

The holocaust, which was a tragedy, is clearly indicative of the relationship between God and the Jews. God PROMISED to protect them ALWAYS, they are the apple of His eye; unless they reject Him.

However, God promised to never reject them when they are obedient. The suffering servant in Isaiah 53 is obedient to God, and crushed to bring healing to the nations. It says that it PLEASED the Lord to bruise Him; this can not be Israel, certainly not an obedient Israel!

Isaiah 53 speaks about a rejected, suffering servant, who is clearly not Israel. Isaiah says that God would reject Israel shortly thereafter

ISAIAH 54:7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

We have witnessed the time where God and the Jews have experienced a 'forsaken' relationship, and the gathering is happening now. God then promised a New Covenant

Isaiah 55 says

3 Give ear and come to me;
hear me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.

4 See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander of the peoples.

5 Surely you will summon nations you know not,
and nations that do not know you will hasten to you,
because of the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor."


This Covenant says that the nations of the Earth would be gathered to the God of Israel through the Son of David. We read in Genesis that the scepter will not depart from Judah until Shiloh arrives, and to Him shall the obedience of the nations be.

This alone has been fulfilled by Jesus Christ; this explains why the Jews were scattered and forsaken of God for the last 2000 years according to prophecy, and why the Gentiles now worship the God of Israel through the Jew who we call Jesus.

Tell me, dear rabbi's, what has God done for the Gentiles in the last 3000 years if Jesus is not the Jewish Messiah? Why is it that the curses on Israel if they rejected Covenant with God have all come true? Why is it that you don't have a temple anymore where sacrifices are being offered up for your people? Why don't you follow Torah when it says that those who disobey the Sabbath must be stoned to death, among many other Torah-ordained laws that you have forsaken and replaced with rabbinical tradition?

The only answer is this; Jesus Christ.

Shawn have you had an original idea in your life? Parrots recite too.

What, no answer to why Jsus didn't save the 3 million Christians who died in the Holocaust?

And what prompted all of the following murder hatred and mayhem for the past 1700 years?

The only answer is this; Jsus Chrst.

Persecution of Jews by Christians:
Initial persecution of Jews was along religious lines. Persecution would cease if the person converted to Christianity.

306: The church Synod of Elvira banned marriages, sexual intercourse and community contacts between Christians and Jews. 3,4
315: Constantine published the Edict of Milan which extended religious tolerance to Christians. Jews lost many rights with this edict. They were no longer permitted to live in Jerusalem, or to proselytize.
325: The Council of Nicea decided to separate the celebration of Easter from the Jewish Passover. They stated: "For it is unbecoming beyond measure that on this holiest of festivals we should follow the customs of the Jews. Henceforth let us have nothing in common with this odious people...We ought not, therefore, to have anything in common with the Jews...our worship follows a...more convenient course...we desire dearest brethren, to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews...How, then, could we follow these Jews, who are almost certainly blinded."
337: Christian Emperor Constantius created a law which made the marriage of a Jewish man to a Christian punishable by death.
339: Converting to Judaism became a criminal offense.
343-381: The Laodicean Synod approved Cannon XXXVIII: "It is not lawful [for Christians] to receive unleavened bread from the Jews, nor to be partakers of their impiety." 5
367 - 376: St. Hilary of Poitiers referred to Jews as a perverse people who God has cursed forever. St. Ephroem refers to synagogues as brothels.
379-395: Emperor Theodosius the Great permitted the destruction of synagogues if it served a religious purpose. Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire at this time.
380: The bishop of Milan was responsible for the burning of a synagogue; he referred to it as "an act pleasing to God."
415: The Bishop of Alexandria, St. Cyril, expelled the Jews from that Egyptian city.
415: St. Augustine wrote "The true image of the Hebrew is Judas Iscariot, who sells the Lord for silver. The Jew can never understand the Scriptures and forever will bear the guilt for the death of Jesus."
418: St. Jerome, who created the Vulgate translation of the Bible wrote of a synagogue: "If you call it a brothel, a den of vice, the Devil's refuge, Satan's fortress, a place to deprave the soul, an abyss of every conceivable disaster or whatever you will, you are still saying less than it deserves."
489 - 519: Christian mobs destroyed the synagogues in Antioch, Daphne (near Antioch) and Ravenna.
528: Emperor Justinian (527-564) passed the Justinian Code. It prohibited Jews from building synagogues, reading the Bible in Hebrew, assemble in public, celebrate Passover before Easter, and testify against Christians in court. 3
535: The "Synod of Claremont decreed that Jews could not hold public office or have authority over Christians." 3
538: The 3rd and 4th Councils of Orleans prohibited Jews from appearing in public during the Easter season. Canon XXX decreed that "From the Thursday before Easter for four days, Jews may not appear in the company of Christians." 5 Marriages between Christians and Jews were prohibited. Christians were prohibited from converting to Judaism. 4
561: The bishop of Uzes expelled Jews from his diocese in France.
612: Jews were not allowed to own land, to be farmers or enter certain trades.
613: Very serious persecution began in Spain. Jews were given the options of either leaving Spain or converting to Christianity. Jewish children over 6 years of age were taken from their parents and given a Christian education
692: Cannnon II of the Quinisext Council stated: "Let no one in the priestly order nor any layman eat the unleavened bread of the Jews, nor have any familiar intercourse with them, nor summon them in illness, nor receive medicines from them, nor bathe with them; but if anyone shall take in hand to do so, if he is a cleric, let him be deposed, but if a layman, let him be cut off." 5
694: The 17th Church Council of Toledo, Spain defined Jews as the serfs of the prince. This was based, in part, on the beliefs by Chrysostom, Origen, Jerome, and other Church Fathers that God punished the Jews with perpetual slavery because of their responsibility for the execution of Jesus. 5
722: Leo III outlawed Judaism. Jews were baptized against their will.
855: Jews were exiled from Italy
1050: The Synod of Narbonne prohibited Christians from living in the homes of Jews.
1078: "Pope Gregory VII decreed that Jews could not hold office or be superiors to Christians." 6
1078: The Synod of Gerona forced Jews to pay church taxes
1096: The First Crusade was launched in this year. Although the prime goal of the crusades was to liberate Jerusalem from the Muslims, Jews were a second target. As the soldiers passed through Europe on the way to the Holy Land, large numbers of Jews were challenged: "Christ-killers, embrace the Cross or die!" 12,000 Jews in the Rhine Valley alone were killed in the first Crusade. This behavior continued for 8 additional crusades until the 9th in 1272.
1099: The Crusaders forced all of the Jews of Jerusalem into a central synagogue and set it on fire. Those who tried to escape were forced back into the burning building.
1121: Jews were exiled from Flanders (now part of present-day Belgium)
1130: Some Jews in London allegedly killed a sick man. The Jewish people in the city were required to pay 1 million marks as compensation.
1146: The Second Crusade began. A French Monk, Rudolf, called for the destruction of the Jews.
1179: Canon 24 of the Third Lateran Council stated: "Jews should be slaves to Christians and at the same time treated kindly due of humanitarian considerations." Canon 26 stated that "the testimony of Christians against Jews is to be preferred in all causes where they use their own witnesses against Christians." 7
1180: The French King of France, Philip Augustus, arbitrarily seized all Jewish property and expelled the Jews from the country. There was no legal justification for this action. They were allowed to sell all movable possessions, but their land and houses were stolen by the king.
1189: Jews were persecuted in England. The Crown claimed all Jewish possessions. Most of their houses were burned.
1205: Pope Innocent III wrote to the archbishops of Sens and Paris that "the Jews, by their own guilt, are consigned to perpetual servitude because they crucified the Lord...As slaves rejected by God, in whose death they wickedly conspire, they shall by the effect of this very action, recognize themselves as the slaves of those whom Christ's death set free..."
1215: The Fourth Lateran Council approved canon laws requiring that "Jews and Muslims shall wear a special dress." They also had to wear a badge in the form of a ring. This was to enable them to be easily distinguished from Christians. This practice later spread to other countries.
1227: The Synod of Narbonne required Jews to wear an oval badge. This requirement was reinstalled during the 1930's by Hitler, who changed the oval badge to a Star of David.
1229: The Spanish inquisition starts. Later, in 1252, Pope Innocent IV authorizes the use of torture by the Inquisitors.
1236: Pope Gregory ordered that church leaders in England, France, Portugal and Spain confiscate Jewish books on the first Saturday of Lent. 1
1259: A "synod of the archdiocese in Mainz ordered Jews to wear yellow badges." 1
1261: Duke Henry III of Brabant, Belgium, stated in his will that "Jews...must be expelled from Brabant and totally annihilated so that not a single one remains, except those who are willing to trade, like all other tradesmen, without money-lending and usury." 2
1267: The Synod of Vienna ordered Jews to wear horned hats. Thomas Aquinas said that Jews should live in perpetual servitude.
1290: Jews are exiled from England. About 16,000 left the country.
1298: Jews were persecuted in Austria, Bavaria and Franconia. 140 Jewish communities were destroyed; more than 100,000 Jews were killed over a 6 month period.
1306: 100,000 Jews are exiled from France. They left with only the clothes on their backs, and food for only one day.
1320: 40,000 French shepherds went to Palestine on the Shepherd Crusade. On the way, 140 Jewish communities were destroyed.
1321: In Guienne, France, Jews were accused of having incited criminals to poison wells. 5,000 Jews were burned alive, at the stake.
1338: The councilors of Freiburg banned the performance of anti-Jewish scenes from the town's passion play because of the lethal bloody reactions against Jews which followed the performances. 9
1347 +: The Black Death originated in the Far East. China, Mongolia, India, central Asia, and southern Russia have all been suggested as the source. 10 Mongol invaders brought it to Caffa in the Crimea (modern-day Fedodosiya). Defenders from the city later spread the disease throughout many Mediterranean ports. 11 Rats initially carried the Black Death; theyr fleas spread the disease from the rats to humans. As the plague worsened, the germs spread from human to human. In five years, the death toll had reached 25 million. In England, two centuries passed before its population levels recovered from the plague. People looked around for someone to blame. They noted that a smaller percentage of Jews than Christians caught the disease. This was undoubtedly due to the Jewish sanitary and dietary laws, which had been preserved from Old Testament times. Rumors circulated that Satan was protecting the Jews and that they were paying back the Devil by poisoning wells used by Christians. The solution was to torture, murder and burn the Jews. "In Bavaria...12,000 Jews...perished; in the small town of Erfurt...3,000; Rue Brulיe...2,000 Jews; near Tours, an immense trench was dug, filled with blazing wood and in a single day 160 Jews were burned." 5 In Strausberg 2,000 Jews were burned. In Maintz 6,000 were killed...; in Worms 400..." 3
1354: 12,000 Jews were executed in Toledo.
1374: An epidemic of possession broke out in the lower Rhine region of what is now Germany. People were seen "dancing, jumping and [engaging in] wild raving." This was triggered by enthusiastic revels on St. John's Day - an Christianized version of an ancient Pagan seasonal day of celebration which was still observed by the populace. The epidemic spread throughout the Rhine and in much of the Netherlands and Germany. Crowds of 500 or more dancers would be overcome together. Exorcisms were tried, but failed. Pilgrimages to the shrine of St. Vitus were tried, but this only seemed to exacerbate the problem. Finally, the rumor spread that God was angry because Christians had been excessively tolerant towards the Jews. God had cursed Europe as He did Saul when he showed mercy towards God's enemies in the Old Testament. Jews "were plundered, tortured and murdered by tens of thousands." The epidemic finally burned itself out two centuries later, in the late 16th century. 4
1391 : Jewish persecutions begin in Seville and in 70 other Jewish communities throughout Spain.
1394 : Jews were exiled, for the second time, from France.
1431 +: The Council of Basel "forbade Jews to go to universities, prohibited them from acting as agents in the conclusion of contracts between Christians, and required that they attend church sermons." 5
1434: "Jewish men in Augsburg had to sew yellow buttons to their clothes. Across Europe, Jews were forced to wear a long undergarment, an overcoat with a yellow patch, bells and tall pointed yellow hats with a large button on them." 1
1453 : The Franciscan monk, Capistrano, persuaded the King of Poland to terminate all Jewish civil rights.
1478: Spanish Jews had been heavily persecuted from the 14th century. Many had converted to Christianity. The Spanish Inquisition was set up by the Church in order to detect insincere conversions. Laws were passed that prohibited the descendants of Jews or Muslims from attending university, joining religious orders, holding public office, or entering any of a long list of professions.
1492 : Jews were given the choice of being baptized as Christians or be banished from Spain. 300,000 left Spain penniless. Many migrated to Turkey, where they found tolerance among the Muslims. Others converted to Christianity but often continued to practice Judaism in secret.
1497: Jews were banished from Portugal. 20 thousand left the country rather than be baptized as Christians.
1516: The Governor of the Republic of Venice decided that Jews would be permitted to live only in one area of the city. It was located in the South Girolamo parish and was called the "Ghetto Novo." This was the first ghetto in Europe. Hitler made use of the concept in the 1930's.
1523: Martin Luther distributed his essay "That Jesus Was Born a Jew. " He hoped that large numbers of Jews would convert to Christianity. They didn't, and he began to write and preach hatred against them. Luther has been condemned in recent years for being extremely antisemitic. The charge has some merit; however he was probably typical of most Christians during his era.
1539: A passion play was forbidden in Rome because it prompted violent attacks against the city's Jewish residents. 9
1540: Jews were exiled from Naples.
1543: In his 20's, Martin Luther, had expected Jews to convert to Christianity in large numbers. Distressed by their reluctance, he developed a hatred for Jews, as expressed in his letters to Rev. Spalatin in 1514, when he was 31 years of age. He wrote:

"I have come to the conclusion that the Jews will always curse and blaspheme God and his King Christ, as all the prophets have predicted....For they are thus given over by the wrath of God to reprobation, that they may become incorrigible, as Ecclesiastes says, for every one who is incorrigible is rendered worse rather than better by correction." 6

In 1543, he wrote "On the Jews and their lies, On Shem Hamphoras" :

"...eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!...What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?

First, their synagogues or churches should be set on fire,...
Secondly, their homes should likewise be broken down and destroyed... They ought to be put under one roof or in a stable, like Gypsies.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayer books and Talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threat of death to teach any more...
Fifthly, passport and traveling privileges should be absolutely forbidden to the Jews...
Sixthly, they ought to be stopped from usury. All their cash and valuables of silver and gold ought to be taken from them and put aside for safe keeping...
Seventhly, let the young and strong Jews and Jewesses be given the flail, the axe, the hoe, the spade, the distaff, and spindle and let them earn their bread by the sweat of their noses as in enjoined upon Adam's children...

To sum up, dear princes and nobles who have Jews in your domains, if this advice of mine does not suit you, then find a better one so that you and we may all be free of this insufferable devilish burden - the Jews." 7

1550: Jews were exiled from Genoa and Venice.
1555-JUL-12: A Roman Catholic Papal bull, "Cum nimis absurdum," required Jews to wear badges, and live in ghettos. They were not allowed to own property outside the ghetto. Living conditions were dreadful: over 3,000 people were forced to live in about 8 acres of land. Women had to wear a yellow veil or scarf; men had to wear a piece of yellow cloth on their hat. 8
1582: Jews were expelled from Holland.
1648-9: Chmielnicki Bogdan led an uprising against Polish rule in the Ukraine. The secondary goal of Bogdan and his followers was to exterminate all Jews in the country. The massacre began with the slaughter of about 6,000 Jews in Nemirov. Other major mass murders occurred in Tulchin, Polonnoye, Volhynia, Bar, Lvov, etc. Jewish records estimate that a total of 100,000 Jews were murdered and 300 communities destroyed.

1806: A French Jesuit Priest, Abbe Barruel, had written a treatise blaming the Masonic Order for the French Revolution. He later issued a letter alleging that Jews, not the Masons were the guilty party. This triggered a belief in an international Jewish conspiracy in Germany, Poland and some other European countries later in the 19th century.
1819: During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, many European Jews lobbied their governments for emancipation. They sought citizenship as well as the same rights and treatment as were enjoyed by non-Jews. This appears to have provoked sporadic anti-semites to engage in anti-Jewish violence. The rioters cried "Hep! Hep!." The origin(s) of this cry are not clear. Jews and their property were attacked first in Wuerzburg, Germany during 1819-AUG. The rioting spread across Germany and eventually reached as far as Denmark and Poland. 17
1840: A rumor spread in Syria that some Jews were responsible for the ritual killing of a Roman Catholic monk and his servant. As a result of horrendous treatment, some local Jews confessed to a crime that they did not commit. This "Damascus Affair" spurred early Zionist writers like Hess to promote the Zionist cause. 17 More details.
1846 - 1878: Pope Pius IX restored all of the previous restrictions against the Jews within the Vatican state. All Jews under Papal control were confined to Rome's ghetto - the last one in Europe until the Nazi era restored the church's practice. On 2000-SEP-3, Pope John Paul II beatified Pius IX; this is the last step before sainthood. He explained: "Beatifying a son of the church does not celebrate particular historic choices that he has made, but rather points him out for imitation and for veneration for his virtue."
1858: Edgardo Mortara was kidnapped, at the age of six, from his Jewish family by Roman Catholic officials after they found out that a maid had secretly baptized him. He was not returned to his family but was raised a Catholic. He eventually became a priest.
1873: The term "antisemitism" is first used in a pamphlet by Wilhelm Marr called "Jewry's Victory over Teutonism."
1881: Alexander II of Russia was assassinated by radicals. The Jews were blamed. About 200 individual pogroms against the Jews followed. ("Pogrom" is a Russian word meaning "devastation" or "riot." In Russia, a pogrom was typically a mob riot against Jewish individuals, shops, homes or businesses. They were often supported and even organized by the government.) Thousands of Jews became homeless and impoverished. The few who were charged with offenses generally received very light sentences. 1
1893: "...anti-Semitic parties won sixteen seats in the German Reichstag." 2
1894: Captain Alfred Dreyfus, an officer on the French general staff, was convicted of treason. The evidence against him consisted of a piece of paper from his wastebasket with another person's handwriting, and papers forged by antisemitic officers. He received a life sentence on Devil's Island, off the coast of South America. The French government was aware that a Major Esterhazy was actually guilty. 3 The church, government and army united to suppress the truth. Writer Emile Zola and politician Jean Jaurטs fought for justice and human rights. After 10 years, the French government fell and Drefus was declared totally innocent. The Dreyfus Affair was world-wide news for years. It motivated Journalist Theodor Herzl to write a book in 1896: "The Jewish State: A Modern Solution to the Jewish Question." The book led to the founding of the Zionist movement which fought for a Jewish Homeland. A half century later, the state of Israel was born.
1903: At Easter, government agents organized an anti-Jewish pogrom in Kishinev, Moldova, Russia. The local newspaper published a series of inflammatory articles. A Christian child was discovered murdered and a young Christian woman at the Jewish Hospital committed suicide. Jews were blamed for the deaths. Violence ensured. The 5,000 soldiers in the town did nothing. When the smoke cleared, 49 Jews had been killed, 500 were injured; 700 homes looted and destroyed, 600 businesses and shops looted, 2000 families left homeless. Later, it was discovered that the child had been murdered by its relatives and the suicide was unrelated to the Jews. 4
1905: The Okhrana, the Russian secret police in the reign of Czar Nicholas II, converted an earlier antisemitic novel into a document called the "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion." 16 It was published privately in 1897. A Russian Orthodox priest, Sergius Nilus, published them publicly in 1905. It was promoted as the record of "secret rabbinical conferences whose aim was to subjugate and exterminate the Christians." 5 The Protocols were used by the Okhrana in a propaganda campaign that was associated with massacres of the Jews. These were the Czarist Pogroms of 1905.
1915: 600,000 Jews were forcibly moved from the western borders of Russia towards the interior. About 100,000 died of exposure or starvation.
1917: "In the civil war following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the reactionary White Armies made extensive use of the Protocols to incite widespread slaughters of Jews." 5 Two hundred thousand Jews were murdered in the Ukraine alone.
1920: The Protocols reach England and the United States. They are exposed as a forgery, but are widely circulated. Henry Ford sponsored a study of international activities of Jews. This led to a series of antisemitic articles in the Dearborn Independent, which were published in a book, "The International Jew." The Protocols were sold on Wal-Mart's online bookstore until they were removed on 2004-SEP-21.
1920: The defeat of Germany in World War I and the continuing economic difficulties were blamed in that country on the "Jewish influence." One antisemitic poster has been preserved from that era. 6 It shows a German, presumably Christian woman, a male Jew with distorted facial features, a coffin and the word "Deutschland" (Germany)
1920's, 1930's: Hitler had published in Mein Kampf in 1925, writing: "Today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord." The Protocols are used by the Nazis to whip up public hatred of the Jews in the 1930's. Widespread pogroms occur in Greece, Hungary, Mexico, Poland, Rumania, and the USSR. Radio programs by many conservative American clergy, both Roman Catholic and Protestant, frequently attacked Jews. Reverend Fr. Charles E Coughlin was one of the best known. "In the 1930's, radio audiences heard him rail against the threat of Jews to America's economy and defend Hitler's treatment of Jews as justified in the fight against communism." (12) Other conservative Christian leaders, such as Frank Norris and John Straton supported the Jews. 7
Discrimination against Jews in North America is widespread. Many universities set limits on the maximum number of Jewish students that they would accept. Harvard accepted all students on the basis of merit until after World War I when the percentage of Jewish students approached 15%. At that time they installed an informal quota system. In 1941, Princeton had fewer than 2% Jews in their student body. Jews were routinely barred from country clubs, prestigious neighborhoods, etc. 8

1933: Hitler took power in Germany. On APR-1, Julius Streicher organized a one-day boycott of all Jewish owned busienss in the country. This was the start of continuous oppression by the Nazis culminating in the Holocaust (a.k.a. Shoah). Jews "were barred from civil service, legal professions and universities, were not allowed to teach in schools and could not be editors of newspapers." 2 Two years later, Jews were no longer considered citizens.
1934: Various laws were enacted in Germany to force Jews out of schools and professions.
1935: The Nazis passed the Nuremberg Laws restricting citizenship to those of "German or related blood." Jews became stateless.
1936: Cardinal Hloud of Poland urged Catholics to boycott Jewish businesses.
1938: On NOV-9, the Nazi government in Germany sent storm troopers, the SS and the Hitler Youth on a pogrom that killed 91 Jews, injured hundreds, burned 177 synagogues and looted 7,500 Jewish stores. Broken glass could be seen everywhere; the glass gave this event its name of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. 9
1938: Hitler brought back century-old church law, ordering all Jews to wear a yellow Star of David as identification. A few hundred thousand Jews are allowed to leave Germany after they give all of their assets to the government.
1939: The Holocaust, the Shoah -- the systematic extermination of Jews in Germany -- begins. The process only ended in 1945 with the conclusion of World War II. Approximately 6 million Jews (1.5 million of them children), 400 thousand Roma (Gypsies) and others were slaughtered. Some were killed by death squads; others were slowly killed in trucks with carbon monoxide; others were gassed in large groups in Auschwitz, Dacau, Sobibor, Treblinka and other extermination camps. Officially, the holocaust was described by the Nazis as subjecting Jews "to special treatment" or as a "solution of the Jewish question." Gold taken from the teeth of the victims was recycled; hair was used in the manufacture of mattresses. In the Buchenwald extermination camp, lampshades were made out of human skin; however, this appears to be an isolated incident. A rumor spread that Jewish corpses were routinely converted into soap. However, the story appears to be false. 10
1940: The Vichy government of France collaborated with Nazi Germany by freezing about 80,000 Jewish bank accounts. During the next four years, they deported about 76,000 Jews to Nazi death camps; only about 2,500 survived. It was only in 1995 that a French president, Jacques Chirac, "was able to admit that the state bore a heavy share of responsibility in the mass round-ups and deportations of Jews, as well as in the property and asset seizures that were carried out with the active help of the Vichy regime." 11
1941: The Holocaust Museum in Washington DC estimates that 13,000 Jews died on 1941-JUN-19 during a pogrom in Bucharest, Romania. It was ordered by the pro-Nazi Romanian regime of Marshal Ion Antonescu. The current government has admitted that this atrocity happened, but most Romanians continue to deny that the Jews were killed on orders from their own government. 12
1941: Polish citizens in Jedwabne in northeastern Poland killed hundreds of Jews, by either beating them to death or burning them alive in a barn. According to the Associated Press: "The role played by Polish citizens was suppressed for nearly six decades until publication of a book by a Polish emigre historian, Jan Tomasz Gross. After release of the book in 2000, the Polish government launched an investigation. 'The role of the Poles was decisive in conducting the criminal act,' [prosecutor Radoslaw] Ignatiew, said. The book, 'Neighbours,' sparked national soul-searching among Poles, many of whom could not believe that anybody but the Nazis would have committed the atrocity." 13
1942: The Nazi leaders of Germany, at the Wannsee conference, decided on"the final solution of the Jewish question" which was the attempt to exterminate every Jew in Europe. From JUL-28 to 31, almost 18,000 Russian inhabitants of the Minsk ghetto in what is now Belarus were exterminated. This was in addition to 5,000 to 15,000 who had been massacred in earlier pogroms in that city. This was just one of many such pogroms during World War II. 14
1945: The Shoah (Holocaust) ended as the Allied Forces over-ran the Nazi death camps.
1946: Even though World War II ended the year before, antisemitic pogroms continued, particularly in Poland, with the deaths of many Jews.

100% incorrect. G-d didn't promise not to reject us only when we are obedient, but FOREVER.


“Return, O backsliding children,” says the L-rd, “for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion.” (Jeremiah 3:14)


Guess you ignore the bible when it suits you, huh?

I've heard about you and your anti-Jewish rants on YouTube. Odds are you won't last here long. The Torah is eternal. G-d's covenant with the Jews is ETERNAL. Either reject your own "bible" or accept the reality.

Nothing has been "fulfilled" through the false messiah, Jsus. He fulfilled not ONE messianic prophecy and to this day the nations (including the Xian nations) ignore the Jews and G-d's word. You are certainly one of those!

You quoted Isaiah 55, but paid no attention to:

3. Incline your ear and come to Me, hearken and your soul shall live, and I will make for you an everlasting covenant, the dependable mercies of David.


You ignore the everlasting eternal covenant and worship a false god. Worse yet you worship a MAN as a god! This is idolatry. You are no better than a worshiper of Ba-al or Ze-us.

How am I so sure that you are distorting the word of Isaiah? Because chapters are a Xian invention and you ignore the very next paragraphs!

Isaiah 54:1. So says tHashem, "Keep justice and practice righteousness, for My salvation is near to come, and My benevolence to be revealed."

2. Fortunate is the man who will do this and the person who will hold fast to it, he who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it and guards his hand from doing any evil.

3. Now let not the foreigner who joined HaShem, say, "HaShem will surely separate me from His people," and let not the eunuch say, "Behold, I am a dry tree."


You do not keep the Sabbath. You do not practice righteousness (the mitzvot). You do not keep the Sabbath. You are the foreigner who is a dry tree.


Isaiah 54:4. For so says HaShem to the eunuchs who will keep My Sabbaths and will choose what I desire and hold fast to My covenant 5. "I will give them in My house and in My walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters; an everlasting name I will give him, which will not be discontinued.


Instead of spewing venom at G-d's covenant and G-d's people you'd better read MORE of your supposed bible. No more selective quoting. Our covenant is eternal and you are attempting to deceive people through your selective quotes and lies. Have fun on YouTube, your ignorance won't fly here.
