The Causes of Anti-semitism MitchW632: Why does anti-Semitism keep happening down through history. Why do many people turn against the Jews. Do the Jews contribute to it in some way? Zanjan: Immature people despise ALL minorities - they don't need an excuse, just someone to blame for anything that goes wrong. Their mentality is the *majority rules*; thus, the majority can never be wrong. The number of people who are actually against the Jews is highly exaggerated. Most wouldn't recognize who was a Jew unless they wore special attire, something that's easy to mock. (Edited by Zanjan) ipirate2: SplendorofYah God's people??? Jesus indicated that we are all children of god and god in our own rite. You do know that most Jews do not believe in a supernatural god. Right? You do know that Jewry follows the oral traditions and they put man above God. Right? Here are the pertinent quotes. Modern Gnostic Christians name our god "I am", and yes, we do mean ourselves. You are your controller. I am mine. You represent and present whatever mind picture you have of your God or ideal human, and so do I. The name "I Am" you might see as meaning something like, --- I think I have grown up thanks to having forced my apotheosis through Gnosis and meditation and “I am”, represents the best rules and laws that we have found to live by. In Gnostic Christianity, we follow the Christian tradition that Christians have forgotten that they are to do. That is, become brethren to Jesus. That is why some say that the only good Christian is a Gnostic Christian. Here is the real way to salvation that Jesus taught. Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Allan Watts explain those quotes in detail. Alan Watts - On The Book of Eli - YouTube Joseph Campbell shows the same esoteric ecumenist idea in this link. On Becoming an Adult - YouTube The bible just plainly says to put away the things of children. The supernatural and literal reading of myths. Regards DL ipirate2: Fractured fairy tale: Judas is the real hero to the resurrection. If he had not been chosen, because Jesus did not trust the rest, then Jesus' suicide mission might not have happened. Too bad Jesus failed in his mission and wasted his life. Regards DL Fractured fairy tale: Ive Always Had a problem with the way People Always say the Jews are Gods People , I don"t even Know what they Mean What are they Implying that every one else Isn"t or Non Jews arn"t Same with the Term Anti Semitism , I don"t even know what its Supposed too mean or imply (Edited by Fractured fairy tale) ipirate2: Fractured fairy tale: Gnostic Christianity tied God's righteousness to equality and creating all souls of equal value. We wanted to make a supernatural God, should that great mystery exist, better than tribal Christian, and other humans, who cannot thing demographically, and divide more than unite. Compare that to Christianity and Islam with their homophobia and misogyny. We did not like their genocidal Yahweh either. He kills when he can just as easily cure. Anti Semitism, unfortunately, may have been aided by the Moses myth. The close truth being their expulsion, after managing Egypt for the inbred royalty. Their managerial excellence and social customs was their downfall. Look at history as to who was really running the world. That is why they were hated. Much of their skills and why they are hated are more myth than history. Regards DL | Religion Chat Room 22 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
