You also don’t “believe” in the divinity of Jesus. And you “believe” that you can ‘earn’ your salvation by doing good works, and by cherry-picking an extremely tiny fraction out of the 613 different rules in the Law of Moses that ‘you’ choose to live by and call it good (like not eatin’ frog legs and observing the sabbath).

But they do not see Him as the savior of the world, nor do they believe in His sacrificial death as the sole atonement for their sins, nor do they believe in His resurrection, nor do they believe in His divinity.

A lotta folks worldwide throughout history clearly are, and have been, leery of Jews too; but you attribute that to folks being “jealous” of them.

The history of the Jews in the old testament clearly describes the Jews as being murderous to the degree that they make the Einsatzgruppen look like choirboys, even genocidal towards their own people.

Since you don’t “believe” in the divinity of Jesus, and since you “believe” that ‘you’ can ‘earn’ your salvation as described above, then it doesn’t surprise anyone here that you “believe” the actions of the U.S. government or the Russian government has something…anything…to do with Christianity.

You ‘profess’ to accept what Jesus claimed was true, but only if it’s in alignment with ‘your’ theology. When Jesus clearly says something that’s not in alignment with ‘your’ theology, you intentionally twist what He said so it’ll line up with your Hebrew Roots Movement psychobabble; and when you’re unable to do that, you simply disregard what Jesus said.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
