"Read the Talmud. It’s pure hatred for Christ is very clear. "

"Can you provide where in the Talmud this is expressed?"

The notion that the Talmud is hateful toward Christianity is an idea being promoted by David Duke and his ilk, those trying to prove that Israel is Christianity's enemy.

This is pretty much contrary to the view of evangelical Christianity (which I consider myself a part of), which is a tremendous friend of Israel. There seems to be no good reason to foster discord between Christians and Jews since we share so much. In my community, many of our Christians put on or attend seders at the time of Passover, and we have many converted Jews in our congregation.

Don't confuse the Talmud with the Jewish holy book, the Torah and the other books of the prophets, known in total as the Old Testament. There is zero hatred of Jesus in those books.

Maybe the commentator you answered is DAvid Duke himself!

I was just curious. Of course, my view as well is akin to yours. Growing up in church, I have been exposed to nothing but the love of Israel. To this day my thoughts, as well as my church, are one in the same. Even though we may concentrate on the New Testament, we always tie the New Testament back to the Old Testament. You really can’t know one without the other.
