Your anecdotal reference about the older Baptist church lady is now second hand. Your take on their take. You seem to focus on the possible antisemitism of her remarks, and it is possible she meant it as such. But, if the lady was engaged in a discussion in the vein of Peter, she was absolutely correct. The Jews in general do reject Jesus as Messiah and pointing this out is not any more antisemitic than explaining the Gospel to an atheist is cruel to that unbeliever.

The distinction is important. If I hate a peoples, whether due to their color or their resistence to belief, I am displaying the very reason I need rescuing. But, to turn and attempt to persuade them to embrace that rescue is a commendable act.

well, good luck on your future evangelism mission

I’m sure my friend’s husband is only Jewish because no one ever invited him to their house for a party - so they could tell him about about Jesus being his saviour and correct the errors of his faith

Why not pack your Bible and head to Israel - or maybe just to your local synagogue. So much soul savin’ needs to be done.

Just don’t “hate the sinner” so much you are willing to watch Gog and Magog stir up the hatred of the world against them, like Buchanan and Carter
