How is thinking clearly about a full 2,000 years of Christian history. No, he is not indulging in wishful thinking that no harm will come from this movie.

How is thinking clearly about a full 2,000 years of Christian history.

Krauthammer was ranting about anti-Semitism in a film where none exists.

I'm not suggesting there as been no anti-Semitism in Christian History, yet I would also offer that there is a bit more to Christian History than that.

No, he is not indulging in wishful thinking that no harm will come from this movie.

He, and you, are engaging in religious paranoia and not a small amount of anti-Christian bigotry. You are flagellating the present with the horrors of the past, and accusing living Christians of wicked intentions.

Remove the plank from your own eye.

We won't be silent about our faith, nor will we sanitize the Gospel to allay your fears. American Christians have not the History of anti-Semitism you would impute to us.

We'll declare the Gospel and still remain Israel's greatest friend, whether you like it or not.

This little row will not put a schism between Jews and Christians. We will get over it. It will feed the hatred of those already predisposed but I don't think that matters much either. Those who walk in darkness can find lots of inspiration in lots of way nowadays.

I might encourage you to look into these things however. There is nothing in the Torah stating that God could not come to us in human form one day and offer himself as a sacrifice. In fact there are many passages in the prophets that suggest he would do exactly that one day.

One does not have to give up his jewishness to accept Christ's gift. I believe everything that a religious Jew believes. I just believe that the Messiah came first in meekness and to give himself. The next time he comes will be different.
