Your definition of anti-Semitism is very loose. I would personally define as despising Jews murderously simply because they are Jews. Presbyterians, Catholics, Lutherans, Episcopalians do not hate Jews for no reason.

I know anti-semitism when I see it. And you'll have to go to greater lengths to prove to me that Reformed eschatology is sytemically anti-semitic.

I do not believe that the church was God's Plan B, or that a saved, sanctified collection of Jews and Gentiles was somehow an unexpected development brought about only because Plan A didn't work out for God. I do not believe that the church is an accident. Indeed, I believe it is aholy priesthood and a chosen people.

Yes, my definition is probably not the same as the common one. I don't believe that people who believe in Replacement Theology are necessarily prejudiced against Jews, but in my experience, when you question many (most?) who are prejudiced against Jews, they cite Replacement Theology to prove their points. Coincidence? I think not.

Straw man arguments. I never claimed any of the these arguments that you oppose, so what is your point?

I believe all Blood Bought saints are a holy priesthood, a chosen people.

That doesn't in any way toss aside the genetic ones. And it certainly doesn't toss aside the 144,000 Biblically mentioned end time missionaries yet to arise out of the 12 tribes currently not yet sorted out.
