Whatever people group this is, they have zip all to do with any promises in the Bible about “Israel”. The temple and Judaism in a form God recognised it ended in 70 AD. Whatever religion it is now is no different than any other pagan, false, heathen religion; rabbinic Judaism is no different than Islam, for example.MattY wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 10:11 amNo, most of the Jewish people did not become Christians. Not at all. That's why the early Christians had to scatter from Jerusalem. That's why Paul, after initially preaching in synagogues wherever he went, would take the gospel to the Gentiles after being rejected by most of the Jews. Furthermore, a large number of Jews - the Diaspora - were not in Jerusalem fighting at the temple, but were living elsewhere and continued doing so after the temple was destroyed, resulting in rabbinic Judaism.
Because some people, both Jews and Gentiles, rejected Christ.The rejection of Christianity by most Jews in the early centuries was an issue for the early church: if Christ was the Messiah, why were Jews still rejecting Him? That was a source of antagonism between Jews and Christians.
The fact something has “poor antisemitic associations” has zip all to do with whether it is the truth or not. The truth is that Israel as a nation ceased to exist two millennia ago. Whatever diaspora people claim to be “Jews” now are in equal footing with Armenians, Romani, Ruthenians, Karen, and so on. Their claims to Palestine are no more legitimate or blessed by the Bible than claims to Azerbaijan, Ukraine, or Thailand might be.I don't know who you're reading, but anybody claiming modern Jews are ethnically something else should be avoided, that opinion has a really poor antisemitic associations.
The Bible is also clear that genealogy and blood lineage doesn’t grant us special privileges in God’s eyes. The Messiah has already come. Every promise made to Israel has been fulfilled. All that remains is for both Jew and Greek to accept the Messiah, the Christ.
