"Ye shall know them by their fruits... Even so every good tree bringeth
forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree
cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit." (Matthew 7:16-18)
What kind of fruit did Christianity bring forth for the Jews.
Studying anti-Jewish incidents in history clearly shows that the arguments,
accusations and actions of the anti-Semites of our day are not new, but old
and very dangerous. The historical incidents related here are examples taken
from a variety of locations over time. Sometimes, Jews were protected by the
church against the civil authorities. At other times these authorities
protected them against a raging church. Then there were times when both the
church and the civil authorities persecuted them, or would not stop mob
attacks. Some of these attacks were incited by the lower clergy against the
will of the bishops.
The following list of incidents is meant to create an interest in the study
of the troubled Christian-Jewish relationship. It shows that the Nazi
Holocaust was preceded by a long history of ill-treatment of Jews in
so-called Christian countries, often by so-called Christians and that the
Christian church through its "teaching of contempt" (Jules Isaac)
contributed in great measure to Jewish suffering and deaths.
The categories of anti-Jewish behavior range from hateful words to mass
murder:
Hateful words
in writings, sermons, plays (especially passion plays), tales, jokes and
lies about conspiracies;
Accusations
of deicide (murder of God/Jesus), ritual murder, desecration of the host (of
the Eucharist), conspiracies;
Threats or coercions
to extort ransom money, to drive from home, to convert;
Restrictions
on Jewish religious practice, social interaction, trade and professions,
civil and political rights, residence (ghettoization), ownership;
Force
used to make Jews pay higher taxes, take away their children (to raise them
as Christians), lootings, vandalism, expulsions;
Violence
in the attack of individual Jews and whole communities?in beatings and
torture;
Murder and mass murder
in "judicial" hangings, burnings, slaughters in riots, mob attacks, Crusades
and pogroms; and
The Nazi "Final Solution"
to the so-called "Jewish Problem" in the Holocaust.
It turns out to really have been a Christian problem throughout history.

for theists it is a matter of the same rules; their knowledge is
limited and they find 'faith' to be quite 'reasonable.'
Lets set the record straight.
First off you are not an atheist.
You are a God-Hating anti-theist and there is a huge difference.
You believe in God even more than the poster that you are replying to.
You just hate God and that's where it ends.
To which you'll reply,"How can I hate something that doesn't exist?"
And my reply back will be,"Exactly ! It's your belief in God which drives
you to
relentlessly attack Him. Run of the mill, everyday 'practical atheists'
don't
give God a second thought."
My friend your atheism isn't even weak.
Of course not.

No objective, verifiable evidence, eh?
i don't see where i have promoted atheism except when pressed about the
subject or in context of a theory on creation so-called.
the vast majority of my posts --i would say more than 90 percent-- are
responses to observations about the TaNaKh or the New Testament.
why you are now trying to enlist others to say i am off-topic is
because i have basically shut your fallacies down and there is nowhere
else you can go except more ad hominem whining, false accusations or
praying that i no longer respond
if you tone down your anti-Talmud nonsense i might leave you alone for
awhile
the choice is yours
of course they could change their ways and stop preaching to the Jews
about their Christian interpretations of Judaism and simply explain how
Jesus is the outcome of the TaNaKh
yes and how is that shift in attention categorized

Since you believe this guff, and you believe there is an afterlife,

More specifically:
Bolgia Ten: Falsifiers, those who attempted to alter things through
lies or alchemy, or those who tried to pass of false things as real
things such as counterfeiters of coins, are punished here. This bolgia
has four subdivisions where specific classes of falsifiers (alchemists,
persons who pretend to be others, counterfeiters, and liars) endure
different degrees of punishment based on horrible, consumptive diseases
such as rashes, dropsy, leprosy and consumption.

person's only motivation for becoming a Christian, Salvation would be
out of reach. No one will "love" God and "love" mankind because she
thinks she will burn in Hell if she does otherwise.

This thread started out by an Atheist using Christian Scripture to try
to prove that Christianity is bunkum because Christians have been cruel
to the nice Jewish people. That is not a real debate. That is just
diatribe.
Every culture of humanity, everywhere and in every time has been cruel
and vicious. The Old Testament Hebrews were monsters. The Chinese
were ghastly. The American Indians were terrors. The Africans,
savages. The South Sea Islanders, cannibals. Can anyone say the fruit
of Christianity was more bitter or more sweet than the same culture
without?
When Christianity was subtracted from Russia by the Bolshevik
Revolution, the resulting nightmare was without precedent.
An essay that attempts to prove that Christianity is the monster
formula of the world is no more a "real debate" than an essay that
attempts to prove the same about Judaism - or Islam. It is just
propaganda under a thin mask of intellectualism.

Terry, you say this is a secret from your heart, I see it as washing of the

study how God works.
What is all this hell stuff...too much Catholicism.

Being an atheist isn’t a choice or act of will; it’s a consequence of what
"Studying anti-Jewish incidents in history clearly shows that the
arguments,
accusations and actions of the anti-Semites of our day are not new, but
old
and very dangerous."
Thus began this thread. In the first place, the harm done to Jews by
non-Jews is miniscule compared to the harm suffered by so many others.
Some races have been completely exterminated, but the Jews are thriving
- and they own their current good fortune to the great generosity of
Christian nations.
Yet the more help Israel gets, the more Christianity is brutalized for
persecuting the Jews through history. Why? You answer this time.

Expecting respect from a generation as decadent as this is foolish. The
respect you may attain would probably be laden with tentacles of nasty
agendas.
You see, God sees simultaneous time. He sees that transient respect could
lead a person to a path that is severely detrimental.

Ok, that seems to me, to be pretty much unresponsive. So I guess you really

Hardly. Depression does increase risks associated with cardiovascular
disease. For this reason, depression is addressed with antidepressants
in patients with coronary disease. Whether MAOIs, tricyclics, SSRIs,
or NSRIs depends on the patient's response.
Would be more than happy to "glow" and chat about this and other things
like cardiology, diabetes and nutrition that interest those following
this thread here during the next on-line chat this Thursday (12/08/05):

Do you enjoy lying and pasting in articles that
are full of false premises?
> "Ye shall know them by their fruits...
Yes, THEM. Now who is "THEM"? Christians, not
Christianity. People are Christians. Christianity
is a faith. He did not say, "IT". He said, "THEIR".
Jesus said you would know who a true follower is
by their fruits. He did not say that you would know
if Christianity ITSELF is true. It is.
Jesus did not say, "If people fail to follow Me
properly, that means that I'm not really the
Son of God and Christianity is false.".
Rather, He said, "If people fail to follow Me properly
and they do evil as a way of life, then you will know
that THEY are not actual followers, but fakes.".
But of course, people like YOU don't care about TRUTH.

Amen!!!
How can posting an article for the purposes of discussion be considered as
lying?
: > "Ye shall know them by their fruits...

: Yes, THEM. Now who is "THEM"? Christians, not

Christianity is not a faith. Christianity is the totality of all Christians.
: Jesus said you would know who a true follower is
: by their fruits. He did not say that you would know
: if Christianity ITSELF is true. It is.
Again, Christianity is the totality of all Christians.
: Jesus did not say, "If people fail to follow Me
: properly, that means that I'm not really the
: Son of God and Christianity is false.".
Nor did the article.
: Rather, He said, "If people fail to follow Me properly
: and they do evil as a way of life, then you will know
: that THEY are not actual followers, but fakes.".
How do you know which Christians are following Jesus and which ones are
fakes. All Christians that I have ever met believe that they are following
Jesus just as he said to follow him.
: But of course, people like YOU don't care about TRUTH.
That's is just ad hominem. What do you expect to prove with that?

That is an *excellent* suggestion for what we can call ourselves since
we are forbidden to use the title "rabbi" and we *do* profess to be
followers of Jesus.

whatever Christianity they claim they practice or to which they
subscribe it certainly has not included study of the texts as being the
central focus
the Roman Christians at least have their justification in traditional
authority superior to `sola scriptura`
the rest are basically incompetent in their own claimed systems
i have been saying so from the beginning
Braughler tried his "social worker" routine on her which i knew was
doomed to failure of course
There's still a chance that I could get a spanking out of her.
except that 'atheism' per se is not a consequence,
it is merely an attribute
which happens to describe any number of a variety of world views and
cosmologies
it could mean such.
what is interesting is the origin of the term.
it once meant an exclusive caste,
now it is turned on its head completely and describes all people
external to a certain group.
