Anti Semitic Christians

If you think there is something wrong with the title of this article then keep reading. How can any Christian be anti Semitic? Jesus is a Jew. That did not change. He is still the same now as when he was crucified and still the same from when the universe was created. Once a Jew always a Jew. I feel some heresy coming on...

Christians forget that Jew's are the chosen of God. We profess that Jesus is God, therefore Jesus chose to be Jewish and he chose the Jewish people. Part of the problem is that Christian Churches teach that Jews are no longer the chosen of God. They rationalize this because the Jews of Jesus time rejected him and placed him on a cross. So since the Jews rejected Christ Jesus they can't possibly be the chosen people. Christians are the chosen people. Bzzzzt! Wrong answer.

Jesus the one and only Christ chose the Jews. He did not reject them. He did not renounce them or condemn them. He died on the cross for them. Christians are adopted sons and daughters of God through Christ Jesus. Jesus chose us too, to be brothers and sisters but he did not un-chose the Jews. He sent 11 Apostles to the Jews and 1 to the Gentiles. What does that tell you?

So if you're Christian, next time you think badly about a Jew you're thinking the same thing about Jesus.
