but they're all going to hell, which isn't anti-semitic because Jesus said so or something

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/dec/11/donald-trump-antisemitism-israel-colleges-order Donald Trump has signed an executive order that empowers the US education department to penalise college campuses by withholding federal funds from those that are deemed to be tolerating antisemitism by allowing debate critical of Israel.

Trump’s order, announced on Wednesday evening from the White House, was pitched as a move to push back on rising antisemitism on American campuses. In an opinion piece in the New York Times, Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, who is an orthodox Jew, said the action would “support and defend Jewish students in the United States”.

... Rightwing Republicans have long agitated to quell the rise of the pro-Palestinian boycott movement, known as boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) on US campuses. The Guardian revealed in October how conservative activists were working to spread new laws across Republican-controlled states that would ban criticism of Israel in the name of combatting antisemitism.

The best determinant of one's religion is the religion of one's parents. Jeffress has a loving, just and merciful God saying, "Sorry, you were born to the wrong parents. It's off to Hell with you."

Thu Dec 12, 2019, 03:13 PM

Read the Left Behind series to see one of the major Evangelical interpretations of how the 2nd coming of Christ will go down. Only a small number of Jews will be saved from hell in the end, through conversion during the Tribulation. It's basically convert or burn (applies to all other non-Christian religions in their teachings).

Thu Dec 12, 2019, 09:34 PM
Dec 2019

That's precisely what was taught in my church, and reinforced by right wing Christian media. It's the belief of Trump's (and the GOP's) biggest evangelical backers.

Tim Lahaye, author of the Left Behind book series, and major influence in Conservative Christian politics, in an interview:

GROSS: So although the establishment of Israel is important in your vision of the second coming, Jews themselves will have to convert to Christianity in order to be saved and those who don't will be condemned to suffer here on Earth during the tribulations and then basically to go to hell if they haven't converted after that?

LAHAYE: That's a good summary of what's going to happen. Just because you're a Jew does not mean that you don't have to make the same decision that everyone else does. The Bible refers to men all-encompassing in the words whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. And so he doesn't discriminate between Jews or Gentiles.

Jesus’ work was for Jews. He wasn’t intended for European white people.

To me, Bob(can I call you Bob?), you seem a bit blasphemous. You should be thanking Jews for their gift.

But your brand of Christianity is pretty disgraceful anyway.

The three Abrahamic religions all have the same roots, and Judaism predates Christianity by quite a few centuries.

Jesus wasn't white, Jesus wasn't a Christian. Jesus didn't speak English with an American accent.

'Jews are going to Hell'. Thanks Robert Jeffress, but it's just your classic rewrite of history so favoured by Trump, and the claim that 'My religion is better than yours, and I'm going to beat you over the head until you understand that!'

So, nothing to see here. Just business as usual. (Nasty business, that is.)
