to believe that when God made the Jews his chosen peopleThis is Old Testament. New Testament says "He who rejects Me also rejects the one who sent me." and this little gem: "Whosoever rejects me in front of men, so shall I reject Him on the day of Judgement in the Father's presence".

If you underestimate how much pressure the leadership is willing to put on pastors, you need to review what just happened at First Presbyterian, Hollywood (CA).I'd like to know...What happened?

Thanks for the article. As you can see, it falls on deaf ears all too often.

I tried to google it and only came up with something almost a year ago - some minsters were told to leave immediately and not tell anyone why?

They can't be suffering since, like the remaining 99.99999% of humanity they're not God's "chosen people."
Envy is an ugly business. Decent Christians eschew it.

This article brings up something I hadn't considered: that anti-Semitism indicates an underlying evil beyond simple prejudice against Jews.
When I consider some of the anti-Semitic people I have run across, both on the internet and occasionally in real life, this gentleman's theory rings true.
Anti-Semites are more willing to consider violence as a solution to their "problem." They are also people who are likely to delve into other forms of bigotry.
And, they support the most loathesome people in public life.
Good article.

Anti-semitism has morphed into various forms.
Some pure evil, much simple jealousy, and some pure ignorance.
Almost always it's the so called elites who think they're so much superior to others who promote this thinking in our colleges and universities.

He is above all denominations...He is above this planet so infinitely far...but He is as close as a prayer.
Don't believe me...ask Him (in prayer).

So here's a plan. The next time you express an opinion on what's wrong with the world, take a look around to see who's nodding in agreement. If it's some clown who thinks the Jewish state should be pushed into the sea, or that the Jews killed Christ or are conspiring to subvert the world economy or the government or the media, I beg you to consider that you might be wrong. There is no shame in changing your opinion. Falling into step with wicked fools that's shameful, and it's dangerous too. God gave you an early detection system. Use it. Come to think of it, I don't remember agreeing with anti-Semites or anti-Semites agreeing with me on different subjects for that matter. Funny thing is some of them are very religious and even Catholics, whose antisemitism is so transparent it's incongruent with their faith. The truth of the matter is that I never got along with those people. I think the author has a really good point here.
To: Victoria Delsoul
I have never really understood antiemitism (thank G-d). Usually, it is based on some form of envy. Usually, the anti-semitic rants revolve around wealth (e.g. "THEY control the banks" or "THEY exploit people to gain wealth"). It is hardly a wonder that some of the most anti-semitic people who I have ever met on campus and elsewhere tend to also hold left-wing economic views.

Sidebar article by Dennis Prager that explains a bit about the existence of
anti-semitism (warning ADULT content in linked article):
http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/homosexuality/ho0003.html
It does partly explain the hatred of Jews: the moral code that channeled
men's libido into faithful heterosexual relationships. That's enough to get
some folks to hate the Jews.
(and Prager's commentary is still good...even if his marriage is
now ending)

If the truth doesn't come out in honest prayer...in sifting the soul.
But then I am confident (I have experience)...the truth (the Truth) will emerge.
