Since World War II, most American Jews have believed that the more secular American society is, the more secure their status.
This has been, as I have argued all of my life, a colossal error. Indeed, it may turn out to be a fatal error. With the outburst of unprecedented levels of antisemitism, American Jews are living the famous warning: "Beware what you wish for; you just may get it."
The primary reason American Jews have lived in the most Jew-friendly, even Jew-honoring, country in history is that most Americans have been Christian. But we must make a key distinction here. American Christians have been not just Christian, as Europe was, but Judeo-Christian. Nearly all the American Founders were either traditional Christians (i.e., believers in the Christian Trinity) or believers in G od but not in the Christian Trinity. Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin fall into this latter category. But almost to a man the Founders were Judeophiles. Indeed, Jefferson and Franklin wanted the seal of the new United States to depict the Jews leaving Egypt....

The Holy Spirit is also in the Hebrew Bible. It's the same Person.
Yes, but GOPJ didn't mention Him; his post only included two Persons of the Trinity.
The founders of the State of Israel never believed in that whole ‘keep His commandments’ thing. They just used the Bible as a historical link to the area.
Religious Jews believing in the Covenant were mostly unconvinced that a socialist state was a good idea. That’s why there is still a split between Dati Leumi (Religious Nationalists) and Hareidi groups, as well as between secularists, traditional, etc.
But they have also done, pound for pound, THE most damaging self-inflicted wounds Judeo-Christian society has suffered.
Everywhere you look, there is a leftist Jew doing... something, and then they are complaining when they get blowback or merely suffer along with the rest of us. I am beginning to think the greatest trick the Devil played on humanity was writing some specific parts of the old testament that mention specific groups of people, i.e., the hint is in my first sentence.
IMO the only thing that makes the Jews “the chosen people” is that the messiah was destined to save the entire world through their line.
As soon as that came to pass, they stopped being special and got lumped in with everyone else who are also Gods children.
Good point. If Jesus came down, they’d reject him again. Google Saerah Silverman’s “joke” about Jews and Jesus.
the roots of the doctrine that “all men are created equal lie in Judaism, carried around the world by Christians.”
Novak was flat-out wrong about this. The spread of the Gospel among the Gentiles was distinctly Christian in nature, not a characteristic of Judaism.
his post only included two Persons of the Trinity.
I don't know if it was their intent or not, but this certainly brought millions of evangelicals into their corner who think that this secular construct is the same Israel of the Bible, simply because the two share much of the same space.
