Philosophically, a man whom existed around the time of Abraham, named Job has one of the greatest idea, known to man kind: "Job_38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?"
So can man, create the heavens itself? The answer is simple. NO!
Can man create a "Jewish person" while they are developing in the womb? NO
Can a two year old child decide whom his relatives would be? His aunts and his uncles? His cousins? His siblings? His grandparents?
NO.
The same is true of people who are Jewish. When they were in their mother's womb, they didn't get to decide if their mother would have that heritage or not. They just didn't.
What about location of birth on planet earth? What about the language the child will speak? Did the child get to choose those things? Once again. NO.
If a person cannot choose who they are, what they are, where they grew up biologically and socially (Jesus didn't get to choose those things that happened in his life early on), then the same is true of every Jewish person on planet earth.
Eventually a child reaches the age of 12. By the age of 12, children have the possibility of doing almost "adult-like things." In some countries that have severe poverty, children at the age of 12 become parents! Is it an evil thing to be a 12-year-old-child? I wouldn't think so. Even a CHILD is known by his character where he has been and what he will grow into as he becomes an adult. "Pro_20:11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right."
By the age of 12, a mere child can read the entire scripture, if he has been instructed on how to read! Yes, the Holy Bible is written in the level of 5th grade understanding!
By Jewish traditions, the mere children are READING and COMPREHENDING that they are morally obligated to do "good things" for others from God's law by the age of 12! Do all children understand how to always do right by this age and continue well into full adult-hood. Not, always, as the reading skills have not fully been ingrained.
Here is where the tricky thing of antisemitism brews. Some Jewish people, or even people in the land of Israel, are illiterate, they were illiterate from their youth, or they simply feel that they need to only trust in their family-life. Does illiteracy make a person a bad person? No. Some people will NEVER be fully capable of "ivy league lawyer level" reading skills. Either God made them that way or their circumstances were in such a way that this was going to happen in this person's life.
From God's laws, comes the knowledge of good vs. evil, towards men, women and children, within Israel or of Jewish heritage and outside of Israel and Jewish heritage.
Jesus knew the laws of the bible (the first five books). He formulated and meditated upon it regularly so he could know how to fully worship the heavenly father! (Psalm 119).
A general Jewish person will know the first five books of the bible. Some will even go so far as to become almost "christ-like" in their nature, without even fully knowing the NEW TESTAMENT!
Moving further, even if a person doesn't know the fullness of his redemptive glory, a general Jewish person WILL have the desire to LOVE in their heart. With the general desire to LOVE, the sins are covered: 1Pe_4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Charity is often described within the law!
So when a person says that another human being on earth is a problem because they go to church on "sabbath" or they do Jewish things, that person is saying that it is ok to be "above" the law and it is ok to "hate." When the reality is that LOVE is the true binding force to redeem humanity from SIN.
Having a Christmas tree, having a cross, having a certain statement towards a Jewish person to get them to become "christian" DOESN'T help him or her feel redeemed from his sin. ONLY LOVE can help them find the light. Not the "impure sexuality" stuff, but PURE HOLY kind of love.
So think about "family life" once again. We were all children at one time. We couldn't choose our family. Within a "gentile family" there could be SOMEONE within the immediate family that HAS JEWISH heritage! Yes. Should a pure and good family suddenly decide to eliminate that family member simply because of their heritage? NO.
Now, look at the scripture and what it says with proper exegesis. Some people were -BAD- among the Jewish heritage people. They simply DIDN'T want to follow JESUS. They kept doing their own -BAD- thing. Does this mean that ALL the Jewish people were doing these particular -BAD THINGS- NO.
John the Baptist. Was he doing a -BAD THING-? No. In fact he was a family member of Jesus (Elizabeth was Mary's cousin) and warned other Jewish people that were -BAD- to repent.
Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus. Were they doing a -BAD THING-? No, they were doing what they could on their own human strength, however small it was. Raising Jesus to become a man even in poverty!
The shepherds? Supposedly these were special shepherds who were taking care of the sheep that would be used in ritual sacrifice. Were they doing a -BAD THING-? No. They were doing what they were called to do and the angels KNEW that they were doing those things. In fact, the Shepherds were STILL performing Jewish rituals by general understanding of Jewish culture and traditions. So that indicates that Jewish conditions from the old-testament were necessary.
Did Jesus get to choose these things in his early stages of life. No.
Now, here is where the plot thickens in JEsus' life. There were BAD JEWS on the Horizon. The wise men were WARNED......NOT to go back to King Herod in a dream. Do you think that people STILL have the ability to discern character of men, via. dreams even today? Yes. In fact, more so today than at any other time in history. Law-lessness led to the evils that brewed in the heart. They were murderers of their OWN people and nationality! YIKES. This isn't even something new for today@! Columbine shooting is one such example of this type of "law-lessness" behavior! Obviously the man who comits such crimes is not "born again." He doesn't consider his "child-hood." He doesn't consider that he himself was once a developing child in his mother's womb. He doesn't consider that the creator God is the one who gave him his "hair-color" "eye-shape" "nose shape" and other such matters, right within his mother's womb. Same with all the other people around him.
These bad-Jewish people, didn't have any KNOWLEDGE or ability to understand "the sermon on the mount." Access was denied when it came to understanding what it means to be "born again." Return to your child hood, especially considering who raised you, who designed you, who gave you the relatives that you have, to this day?
But then later on in the story, some Jewish people followed Jesus, and some did not follow Jesus. At the end of Jesus life, a mob said to release Barabus, the thief.....the law-less man.......was set free. The mob didn't want him. The Jewish mob, of Jewish heritage. But JESUS, took his place. The place of a vile, wicked man.
He took the place of the vile, wicked, lawless, mob. The mob, that was not around him. They laughed at him when he spoke. They laughed at him when he wept. They laughed at him when he healed. They didn't like him. Their heart was hard. But he, YESHUA, took .......their ........place. He was a fully grown man! He wasn't still 2 years old and couldn't decide this and that. But fully GROWN!
The disciples followed him, even after his death and resurrection. They too were Jewish and some were closely related to Jesus. They perished from this earth. Their life was cut short.........VIOLENTLY.......because of the hatred that brews in the hearts of men on this earth. They didn't die the old-age natural death, like Simeon and Anna. But yet Simeon said: Luk 2:34-5 And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. " Simeon KNEW, in his old age that this was going to be the fate of HUMANITY. The HEART would be revealed!
It had NOTHING to do with Heritage. Yet, it had EVERYTHING to do with Heritage and upbringing.
If a child is separated unnaturally from a parent, the parent feels pain. In some cases parents have DIED trying to protect their children. Jewish parents have DIED, protecting their own children from evils that brew in the hearts of men. Maybe some parents did not even KNOW they were Jewish when they died! Maybe they did know! DNA tests? Some people know whom they are related to, and some people do not. Adoptions occur, to this day.
If someone says to you, that antisemitism or manipulating whom a person is related to or their origins, consider wisely, because it pierces in the HEART.
God himself designed these things. Not man. To this day. In fact, the people in YOUR community can and do come from the -LEVANT- to this day......
Even teenagers know there is something "brewing" in the heart of man that is not "legit".........from a secular-every-day-life point of view..... Charlie.......Puth......couldn't choose his parents.....But yet he sings.... To save the live of "Charlie" is to consider what is going on in the heart.....based on conditions of the law....that includes conditions of "sexual impurity" that could ruin.......his life.....
Is that love "real" or just for "show".....that is the key thing.....which is foundation
Other types of "antisemitism" that exists.....the idea that it now somehow ok to commit lawless sexual impurity acts.......within a "Jewish" or middle eastern family......These things are promoted, encouraged and even EMBRACED in certain churches.....
In summary, if a man or woman doesn't like the "human heart beat" from the time of conception, until that person's last breath, the person is going to face God on judgment day......Jewish or Non-Jewish or RELATED to Jewish people and others connected to the BIBLE. (via.....Noah and beyond).
Really the BEST way to get rid of it is to LIVE among the people and their CULTURE. Stop assuming the role of "control" of the life style and ways of doing things, but rather emphasize the need for redemption and understanding in a two way street....even from a secular perspective. Being too religious can put a group of people into a false category of redemption.
To put it lightly, we are "by nature" dismantled in our thinking without JESUS as our only hope......the bible is complete.....
