And how long does God plan to punish the Jews exactly?
Great question sister! Here is your precise answer:

Romans 11:25 New King James Version (NKJV)
25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own [a]opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel UNTIL the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.


Think about it. Satan has in effect been in shock therapy for the past 2000 yrs. EVERY time someone comes to Christ, and becomes a Born again Child of God, Satan gets a ZAPPP!!!!! He doesn't know if that's the last one. He knows when the last one comes he's done for.

I believe it is one of the primary reasons he hates Christians, and works like the devil lol, to prevent them from becoming effective witnesses for Jesus and His Gospel.

Nazi's.

They were against a specific people/religious group and put them to death.

Just like the Jews who put the early Christians to death. They were against a specific people/religious group and put them to death.


But German people don't call you racist if you are against the Nazi ideology. Because that would be silly.

Jewish people and the people who support them call you racist if you are against the jewish ideology. You are automatically anti-semitic if you are against Judaism.

Its ok for the Jewish people to hate certain people groups. But its absolutely intolerable for any other people groups to do the same thing.


That's why I used Nazi's in my example. Something super extreme. Not that I condone anything they did or think. Just as a comparison of their ideology.

Seems like a double standard to me.

There are two groups presently on this earth according to the word of God, Saved and Not Saved and there is neither Jew nor Gentile in Christ.
The irony is that an ideology created by a self-loathing Jew has been responsible for far, far more deaths than Nazism.

I think I see what your saying. Remembering all jews did not do this, It was a select group. And this selext group would be against anything that did not fit their
And how long does God plan to punish the Jews exactly?
According to Lev 26, Until they repent. At which time, he will remember the promise

Romans 11 also states when this will occure.

I was starting to worry that no one would understand what I was saying. Like I was somehow trying to support Nazism.

Maybe it was a bit extreme. But the early Christians that were crucified and persecuted wouldn't think so.

I think I stated clearly that replacement theology is false doctrine and explained why.
My whole point and even posting at all was to say that the ones that reject Christianity do not reject Christ because the behavior of anyone else. It's not because any doctrine or any false doctrine are any anti-semitism or any other such excuse. They like any other human on the face of this Earth either convert or do not convert of their own accord

No I agree none of us will get to heaven and say I'm not saved because of that person over there. But it has been a huge buffer to witnessing to Jews.

Well this is a difficult passage so more on that later, but why then do Christians support them if God is punishing them?

My understanding from listening to various pastors out there is that Jewish suffering is special/different because they were God's elect and all their suffering far exceeds the suffering of others even though more people died in Russia, many of whom were Christians through starvation and death marches, if we are comparing human suffering that is.

If one does there research many Jews still have hatred for Christians and Jesus, however they do not act out there hatred, not yet anyway.

"Jesus was a bastard born of adultery." (Yebamoth 49b, p.324).
"Mary was a whore: Jesus (Balaam) was an evil man." (Sanhedrin 106a &b, p.725).
"Jesus was a magician and a fool. Mary was an adulteress". (Shabbath 104b, p.504). and they have printed recent version WITHOUT ref to : Gittin 57a. Says Jesus is in hell, being boiled in "hot excrement." (not sure if this last one is authentic in the Talmud)

Because the Bible says they the apple of His eye. Romans 11 makes it clear we have no room to boast, that we have been grafted in and that they will come to believe when the Gentiles have come in.

And this is the kind of thing I find disturbing. Jesus isn't mentioned in the Talmud and none of what you have quoted above is true. When the Holocaust is mentioned and people start with " people have died all around the world" I know they are prejudiced. But when they take false claims from sites that hate Jews I know it's more than just prejudice, it's Jew hatred as you have just proven and have in another discussion in the forums. Please keep those views to yourself.

You make a lot of false allegations, assertions and judgements about my feelings towards people or groups of people, better that I guess than really doing the deep research.

Please put me on ignore you have a solution.
I will be doing the same.

That position is an excuse;

I have a person in our community who's sister died a rather prolonged and painful death with cancer.
He uses that as a negative against G-d for allowing her to suffer...so bad...that he can't see past that experience and come to Christ. Hopefully....some day..

I lost my aunt to cancer, she was 43 yrs old. I'll admit, it shook my faith and I grew up in the church. We have to just be patient and pray some people in. We may not know this side of heaven if they made the choice. My uncle, who also died of cancer, came back to the Lord pretty much on his deathbed. There is always hope.

This person has used anti-Semitic arguments and false statements against Jews in another thread. I call them as I see them. Simple as that.

The passage doesn't seem too difficult at all. Paul is telling us Gentiles not to be ignorant or boastful, and that God is not finished with Israel.

The question of why some Christians support Israel is a complicated one. It incorporates politics as well as prophecy and instruction from the Lord.

Politically, they occupy a tiny spit of land. The ONLY true democracy in the region, surrounded by dictators, despots and vast hordes of muslims that want them liquidated. On that level alone, ALL of the West should support them.

Make no mistake, the vast majority of Jews today are either atheist/agnostic or extreme legalists. Many harbor ill will toward Christians.
We should never base our response to them based on the points above. Our response should be based on what the Lord would have us do.
In the OT we have "I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you". I don't see that as ended.

In the NT we see Jesus at the sheep and goat judgement basing His judgement on the nations and peoples of those nations on how they treated the Jews, especially during the Great Tribulation.

Notice the DISTINCTION Jesus makes between the righteous Gentiles, and HIS BRETHREN. I believe He is talking about those Gentile Christians that helped the Jews in their persecution by the antichrist.

Matthew 25:
The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the [c]holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My Brethren , you did it to Me.’

41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed,into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

And because the victor holds the convenience of publishing our history books many do not know that the Jews frst declared war on Germany and not the other way around...

Some Christians constantly remind Jews of the Jews' contribution for the death of Christ. It is like the process of throwing gas on a small flame. It cause's Jews to resent Christians more.
We have no right to do such demeaning acts. Also, it is not Christian like to do so. Instead we should include them in our prayers as we do other lost people.
many Christians need to be reminded it was the roman empire that put Jesus to death. Crucifixion is not a Jewish execution.
