IMHO, antisemitism is ignorance combined with some degree of malice. As a Christian, I agree that those who are antisemetic should be rebuked at every pass. It is bigoted and it is hate-filled. It should be recognized for what it is, but I can't pass judgement on the man. I pray that God will guide his heart into the right place.
Luk 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
We hear alot on this forum about people who are attacking Christianity. How about a little forgiveness for them too? Because you can bet that some of them have good intentions too.
I equate Christian-haters with antisemites. I'll rebuke them for their ignorance and hate, but I'll leave the forgiving to a higher power.
I'm not even going to pass my own judgment on Mel yet, but I wish he hadn't said what he did. I guess we'll see what he does next.
All of us have both good and bad within, we have responsibility to keep the bad under control. We're all bound to slip at times, but we also need to keep in mind sometimes a slip can do irreparable harm.
