Nausea and hatred are not the same thing.
It is interesting that some people believe that scientistist can be quoted to demonstrate they don't believe things they obviously do believe. This has to be on the short list of symptoms of insanity.

"Its a question of which bias is the best bias to be biased with."
Perfect. And, very refreshingly, honest.

Do you, in fact, think the jews of today are still being punished because of what they did as reported in the bible?Torah Jews today, who are not Zionists, believe that they are to remain dispersed among the nations and faithful, so they do believe the bible, yes.

And hysterical. Actually, it's even funnier. I have been doing to them the exact same things that they do to me, just to watch them scream in indignation. You can be talking to one and 10 others show up to help him, lol.

I realize that you may not agree, but the old testament says the same thing Elsie points out many times before modern history. The OT tells us that the conflict that Israel has in our current day with it's neighbors is brought about because Israel had turned it's back on GOD, in fact it predicts this conflict will continue throughout history. The Jews understood that their slavery in Egypt was brought about for this reason.
1. Was the Holocaust the result of Jews turning their backs on God, in your opinion?
2. In what way are Jews turning their backs on God today?

Please stop it. This isn't a trial, and I'm not on the witness stand. Find a Jew who believes the OT and ask them.
To: Ken H
God is no respector of person. Many Christians has turned their back on God wanting to do their own thing - What punishment do they get?
What about those that totally reject Him? Do they get the same punishment as the Jews?

This isn't a trial, and I'm not on the witness stand. No, but it is a forum for debate, and that includes having your posts challenged and your positions questioned. Remember the old adage about the heat and the kitchen.

God is no respector of person. Many Christians has turned their back on God wanting to do their own thing - What punishment do they get? IMO, none. I am not of the opinion that God metes out earthly punishment to individuals or groups.
Let me ask you this: What are some modern day examples, if any, of Christians being punished for turning their backs on God?
What about those that totally reject Him? Do they get the same punishment as the Jews?
Same answer. I don't think earthly punishments are divinely meted out.
Do you think the Holocaust was divine punishment for Jews turning their backs on God?

First of all Hitler was no Cristian. Anyone can claim anything. God tells us "you will know them by their fruits". (and that's the fruit of the Holy Spirit). NONE was evident in hitler. Second, God tells us the greatest commandment is LOVE. Hitler was filled with hate.
Let everyone read The Word for them self and the Holy Spirit be their teacher. No need to reply. I don't debate The Bible. I'm not the author nor the teacher.

However, you may wish to address this to the poster who claimed that the Nazis were doing the Lord's work, and that the Jews had brought the Holocaust on themselves.

As I said to another poster, you should expect to have your posts challenged on a forum such as this.

You seem more interested in ignoring what I said so than honestly understanding anything that has been said to you but .... you can choose to read
this if you really want to know why there is some thought by the Jews themselves that the Holocaust, current trouble with the Arabs, Olympic situation in the 70s, Anti-semitism in russia, Spanish Inquisition, and every other trouble that they have experienced throughout history, might be a result of this passage.
I wouldn't normally have to say this in anticipation of someone trying to misquote me, take me out of context, pull a cousin vinny on me etc, but I DIDN'T WRITE THE STUFF AT THE PAGE I LINKED. If you have a problem with the language of the passage that I linked to, you may take it up with the decendants of the ISREALITES who wrote it down.

I wasn't aware that there was "some thought by Jews themselves" that the Holocaust was divine punishment. How widespread is this thinkng?
You do realize that when one links biblical examples of punishment of Jews to modern day examples, one is saying that Jews were righteously dealt with in the Holocaust.

I think I'm getting it. It's not anti-jewish sentiment, it's just news reporting; it's just that the orthodox jews are actually deficient in spiritual merit. The bible says so, and it's inerrant, remember? Elsie etc. have nothing against jews--they are just explaining that God has the Jews in His crosshairs, sort of like as a public service.

It would be interesting to know if they think the 911 attack was divine punishment for the US turning its back on God.
