To make it a trilogy... Jews themselves need to be careful about snubbing the divine. Biblical history of the Hebrew scriptures is replete with such examples. Now Christians who follow Jesus’ directions through the bible don’t come to smash Jews (or anybody else for that matter) over the head for having sinned. These Christians completely understand the situation of being a sinner because they are sinners too, who were lost until God saved them through the promise and power of the gospel. Look at what Jesus actually SAID on that cross, as opposed to what some folks treating Him very disobediently as a club mascot acted. Those folks were defying Jesus. For them to claim that Jesus, the ultimate willing sacrifice, wanted that kind of vengeance, turns the spiritual relationship with Him on its head.
Think again very hard before you dismiss what the gospel did for Jews during the diaspora. It civilized society; even unbelievers realized that there was a higher standard to live to. This cut the attacks on the Jewish people DOWN from what they otherwise might have been. They were part of divine provision for the Jewish people. If you whine too much about the trials brought on the Jews from disobedient Christians, you might think also about the historical whining that went on about the trials of having to wait for divine provision of water and other needful things that God had promised to provide. God forgave, but God did not excuse.
OK, so the various Popes, Martin Luther, etc., weren’t really Christians. They were bad people who gave Christians a bad name.
Got it.
