Jewish People
you know there are a lot of things that i dont know or understand in this world but the truth is Jewish people are also apart of it. they are people who were chosen by god to be his people to worship him and everything but the thing is, apparently they turned their backs on him and didnt believe in him anymore.. well i have a few problems with these people at this moment and have a few questions for them if any random Jew decides to read my post. if your great ancestors were the ones to first hand experience and witness gods extraordinary power then why was your religion and culture the first one to turn their backs on it as well. it is said that he saved you from slavery in your time of need from Egypt, tried to give you this wonderful place for you to live, and just basically paved the way for you so you could have a happy time. but yes i have a giant problem with this -.- WHAT KIND OF AN UNGRATEFUL, SPOILED, PIECE OF BLAH BLAH BLAH could you be to turn your back on it -.- you saw literally everything possible that every single one of us would kill to see in today's society, your ancestors completely took advantage of the gifts and miracles that they saw and they are pretty much at the moment just.. confused little people. lets just say that i dont agree with the choices that your ancestors have made and how they shaped your future beliefs, so yeah basically i am saying -.- i don't understand why they turned their entire religion around in another direction and just decided to not believe in him or anything.. gah you people are strange.

Technically the Jewish people believe in God, but they don't accept Jesus as their messiah. They believe their messiah is still yet to come. Denying the Son of Man is more or less turning their backs on God, so you are exactly right in that.
ReplyDeleteJust remember, they are still God's chosen people. In the end times, 144,000 (whether that's an exact number or symbol is unclear, IMO) Jews will convert to Christianity. Christianity sprang up from the roots of Judaism and the New Testament constantly draws from that background.
I say all this to say - the class I finished up in seminary recently really made me realize how prejudice I've been towards Jewish people most of my life. Something the professor said really hit me - The early Christians didn't see themselves as a new religion, but instead, the true ending to the Jewish story. Never thought about it that way before...
I felt that way for a while myself, but rereading the Bible this year has given me some perspective. The Jewish nation was surrounded by their choosing with people who led them astray. How often do we do the same thing? I'm starting to think there are not that many differences between me and the Jewish nation.
