What people dont understand is the history between the Christians and the Jews and where the suppression/replacement theology came from. Both Protestants and Catholics are guilty of the antisemitism that led right to the doors of the Holocaust.Did you know...
Pope Paul IV issued “Cum nimis absurbum” – meaning literally, “Because it is completely senseless …” After those opening words, the proclamation continues: “…and inappropriate to be in a situation where Christian piety allows the Jews (whose guilt -- all of their own doing -- has condemned them to eternal slavery) access to our society and even to live among us…” before laying a long and detailed list of restrictions on Jewish life.
The first in the list of rules was one requiring all Jews in any given town to live in a single district, which was to be enclosed with a wall, and locked at night. The Jews were not allowed to own any property in the ghetto, and were permitted to have but a single synagogue for prayer. Any others that existed at the time of the promulgation of the bull were to be destroyed.
Jews were obligated to identify themselves with a yellow head-covering. Professionally, they were limited to the rag trade, unless they were trained physicians, in which case they were forbidden from tending to Christians. Excerpt from Haaretz
While Napoleon allowed the Jews freedoms and to leave the ghettos when the Catholic church came to power again they reinstated the restrictions on the Jews. The Nazis were not the first to establish ghettos and force Jews to wear yellow.It was the church.Many early church fathers were antisemitic...
John Chrysostom---The synagogue is worse than a brothel…it is the den of scoundrels and the repair of wild beasts…the temple of demons devoted to idolatrous cults…the refuge of brigands and dabauchees, and the cavern of devils. It is a criminal assembly of Jews…a place of meeting for the assassins of Christ… a house worse than a drinking shop…a den of thieves, a house of ill fame, a dwelling of iniquity, the refuge of devils, a gulf and a abyss of perdition."…"I would say the same things about their souls… As for me, I hate the synagogue…I hate the Jews for the same reason.
St. Augustine---How hateful to me are the enemies of your Scripture! How I wish that you would slay them (the Jews) with your two-edged sword, so that there should be none to oppose your word!
Peter the Venerable---Yes, you Jews. I say, do I address you; you, who till this very day, deny the Son of God. How long, poor wretches, will ye not believe the truth? Truly I doubt whether a Jew can be really human… I lead out from its den a monstrous animal, and show it as a laughing stock in the amphitheater of the world, in the sight of all the people. I bring thee forward, thou Jew, thou brute beast, in the sight of all men.
Martin Luther-- {On how to deal with the Jews}First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honor of God and of Christianity in order that God may see that we are Christians...
Secondly, their homes should likewise be broken down and destroyed. For they perpetrate the same things there that they do in their synagogues. For this reason they ought to be put under one roof or in a stable, like gypsies, in order that they may realize that they are not masters in our land, as they boast, but miserable captives, as they complain of incessantly before God with bitter wailing... their rabbis must be forbidden under threat of death to teach any more.
Passport and traveling privileges should be absolutely forbidden to the Jews. For they have no business in the rural districts since they are not nobles, nor officials, nor merchants, nor the like. Let them stay at home...If you princes and nobles do not close the road legally to such exploiters, then some troop ought to ride against them, for they will learn from this pamphlet what the Jews are and how to handle them and that they ought not to be protected. You ought not, you cannot protect them, unless in the eyes of God you want to share all their abomination...
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...Such a desperate, thoroughly evil, poisonous, and devilish lot are these Jews, who for these fourteen hundred years have been and still are our plague, our pestilence, and our misfortune.
John Calvin---Their [the Jews] rotten and unbending stiffneckedness deserves that they be oppressed unendingly and without measure or end and that they die in their misery without the pity of anyone.
This is the church speaking!! Out of this grew the replacement theory,that the church has taken the place and blessings of the Jews and left the Jews curses.It is a dangerous doctrine that led to the murder of 6 million innocent Jews. The Jews never stopped being Gods chosen, even though the church taught an evil doctrine. Both Catholic and Protestant churches have repented of this doctrine in view of the Holocaust.The Jews were falsely accused of blood libels and all manner of things by the church.Then we wonder why the Jews have not come to Christ?! They have been expelled from Christian countries,put into ghettos,forbidden freedoms and rights,all they have owned stolen from them and murdered all in the name of Jesus. I cannot abide the suppression teaching,it is evil and straight from hell. And I dont throw around that phrase lightly.Sorry for the long post but I feel this is very important for people to understand.
