As a longtime Born Again Christian American it has become obvious that the greatest people in history are the Jews. These people have overcome every conqueror since the dawn of mankind and still have their culture intact. Without Israel, America would not exist. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights come right out of the Judea-Christian values that are built on the Bible and Old Testament standing on the Ten Commandments. The One True God’s chosen people have lived among the Palestiniacs throughout history and lived to talk about it. What other culture could ever manage this insurmountable task.
The basis of the Western World was formed by the Jews. When the entire ancient world was struggling to have anything resembling a culture, the Jews were forming a bedrock solid, God fearing society. Though they thouroughly fell short of God’s plans or laws, they continued to fall back on his Mercy moving their society forward. Whether they were ruling themselves or slaves to an enemy they continued to search for what would please God.
Christianity is an outgrowth of the Old Testament as we believe he was their Messiah bringing us Salvation and a direct relationship to the Living God of Abraham. Christians follow the Old Testament as well as the New Testament which has more relationship and less law than the Judaism. We both believe in the Ten Commandments and study their Prophets and Kings who had great wisdom and strength but human failures. God punished the Jewish people over and over due to the weaknesses of man. Even David and Solomon who were perhaps the greatest Kings in the Bible sinned in momentous ways and lost their thrones for a time.
The Bible is a letter from the Lord giving a clear path to follow with stories of the Jewish Kings and Prophets showing us the punishments of not following God’s way. It is clear that life would always go well when the Jews followed God’s rule. Conversely things went terribly wrong when they fell to temptations. The Founding Fathers of America were all followers of Christ and well versed in the Bible. They were well aware of how the Bible was the perfect roadmap for how to treat your brother as well as your enemies. They knew that the Jews were the people to follow and the Bible warns against following kings rather than following God.
The Hebrew people’s trust in God gave them a clearly formed society that allowed them to organize their gummit in a more organized manner. While the rest of the ancient world was trying to decide if it was ok to kill children and living hedonistic lifestyles, the Jews were organizing their families, tribes and armies. God gave them clear laws in how to maintain the family unit as well as integrating it into tribes and eventually an efficient society. This allowed them scholars within the religious communities to follow God’s word leading them to a moral advancement that no other society developed. The Romans for example fell in to decadence due to their lack of any moral direction which was their ultimate downfall.
The Jews were given Ten Commandments very early in their formation to set the parameters in both individual responsibility as well as societal responsibility. No other culture had understood the importance of Thou shall not bear false witness which is the foundation of society and commerce. This gave them a huge advantage in trade throughout the region and became the main brokers in import/export as well as banking in ancient times. Trade and business is where they made their mark and has been the model for business throughout the ages.
Christianity is an outgrowth of Judaism although Jesus died on the cross to give us the perfect sacrifice to God ending Jewish Law. Christianity not only believes in the Old Testament but goes one step farther in following the Lord Jesus Christ’s words and model as how to live our lives. America was built on this book and our families follow the model Jesus and the Jews. The irony is that Israel basically follows our form of gummit.
Our business has the advantage of truth. Many countries around the world do not follow the importance of their word. They will back out of orders and not do what they promise which causes extra backup and legal documentation that our businesses do not need. Business takes this risk under consideration which raises margins to cover those risks. That does not happen in America with established businesses because we follow the Jewish model. We do business on a handshake to complete a transaction which is quicker and easier than using Suits. This is one of the major reasons we are more efficient than other countries and societies.
Jews have historically been in the very top of business, science and arts due to their hard work and dedication to their endevors. They have been the toughest fighters in history and have developed many of the best weapons. During WWII they designed much of the technology that the Germans had and was one of the reasons they lost when Hitler sent the Jewish engineers to the death camps.
For a people who make up a couple of percent of the World’s population this people has accomplished amazing things. This why they are the greatest people to have walked on the face of the earth. These are God’s people and continue to live in God’s graces. Their belief in God and their strict following of the Commandments and Laws has formed a strong bond among their families, tribes and culture. They are the foundation of our Christian faith as well as the Foundation of our Bill of Rights and Constitution. Without the Jews we would not have a Country and the World would be a terrible place w/o their leadership. The Jews are the Greatest People to have ever walked the Earth.

They certainly have been great comedians here in America for the past eighty or so years.

Amen to that!

Excellent post! Thx.
They paid dearly for this, too.
Keeping their culture intact and avoiding assimilation, it made it far too easy to paint them as "The Enemy Within" every time it suited some despot's political purpose.
The picture of one such tantrum that I unsuccessfully try to forget is a humble little thing.
A pile of prisoners' shoes at the Holocaust Museum in DC.
There is something so pathetically tragic about that one image, all those shoes, each pair with a story.

No way does the death cult have a legitimate claim on the historic land of jews and christians.
I believe your foundational sentence is incomplete. It should have read
Due to God's promise to Abraham, these people have overcome every conqueror since the dawn of mankind and still have their culture intact.
"Without Israel, America would not exist."
Likewise, without America Israel would not exist.
Amen!
They made one deadly mistake. As a nation, they rejected Messiah.
What the difference between christians and jews?
We jews cut out the middle man is all.
THat's why we're great in the wholesale business!~}

Was it just Jews who were killed in the death camps?
What is your point?
"Without Israel, America would not exist."

This doesn't make sense. How do you figure?
America and Isreal need each other. God Bless both.
Thank you, I like yours better.
