Anti-Christian bigotry.

Which faith community, sect, or denomination do you belong to ?

The glorious advent of Christ, the hope of Israel

673 Since the Ascension Christ's coming in glory has been imminent,566 even though "it is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority."567. This eschatological coming could be accomplished at any moment, even if both it and the final trial that will precede it are "delayed".568

674 The glorious Messiah's coming is suspended at every moment of history until his recognition by "all Israel", for "a hardening has come upon part of Israel" in their "unbelief" toward Jesus.569 St. Peter says to the Jews of Jerusalem after Pentecost: "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus, whom heaven must receive until the time for establishing all that God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old."570 St. Paul echoes him: "For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?"571 The "full inclusion" of the Jews in the Messiah's salvation, in the wake of "the full number of the Gentiles",572 will enable the People of God to achieve "the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ", in which "God may be all in all".573

Take your anti-Christian bigotry somewhere else.

The Church has taught and believed that the true Israel of God is the Church. If you have a Bible, which I doubt, read Ephesians 2.

Those who defend unbelieving Jews always attack the Church as anti Semitic and of believing “replacement theology”

It was Jesus Christ in John 8 who told the Jews unless they believe He is the Messiah, they will die in their sins. Was Jesus anti- Semitic?

Take your anti Christian bigotry elsewhere, you don’t have the brains to deal with facts.
