Did anti-semitism in Christianity lay the foundation for the Holocaust?

Chom,

There is no anti-Semitism in the Bible, which is the early teachings of Christianity. Man took the words that were spoken and formed teachings that they used to spread anti-Semitism. That is the point you are missing. You keep insisting that Christianity teaches anti-Semitism instead of man using Christianity to justify anti-Semitism, which is no different than UBL using Islam to teach radicalism....

There are the undertones of anti-Semitism in the bible which were used by man to persecute Jewish people.

Can you agree to that?

Nice contribution in every way, mgs. And Beaudry & Chom are communicating! This is become more like what I've been saying: that these general themes have long been a common topic of conversation in many circles and there's a lot of good purpose to it. The process is made easier and more rewarding without so much emotional reactivity and keeping the defensive/attacking dynamics (both real and imagined) to a minimum.

What I was looking for in this thread was other peoples thoughts on the matter, and to explore some of the anti-Semitical things in the NT, as well as the foundation of the church.

Ok, I'm with you when it comes to anti-Semitism within the Church (we might have a disagreement about the FOUNDATION), but I don't think I can go there concerning anti-Semitism within the New Testament documents.

So lets get at it then. What's contained in the New Testament documents themselves that are anti-Semetic?

I am eager to hear this too

Unless you twist interpretations I have never seen it, in fact there is quite a number of things that point to the Jews remaining God's chosen.

It is more a matter in the NT of Him opening up His favor to include the filthy dog gentiles

Na..it goes deeper than that.....it all started 75 million years ago when Xenu solved his overpopulation problem......just google Xenu for the whole story...

You are so busted, 4. You give away their secrets :deal: and they screw with your bank account. Nice knowing you. :ciao:

As is the custom here, when someone googles "anti-semitism in the new testament", there should be at least several more pages of dialogue. May I take this time to suggest remembering the religious and secular worthiness of the theme of loving thy brother as the discusssion continues.
