Ignoring the Pauline Warning

Sharing Options
“Now this means that it is not possible to be in sync with the purposes of God in this world without loving the Jewish people. Christians who fall prey to antisemitism are trying to disrupt the grace of God for the whole world. It is counterproductive; it is anti-gospel. Gentiles who start boasting over against Jews are ignoring the plain warnings that Paul left for us. Boast not against the branches. At the same time, as other portions of this book make plain, loving the Jews as God does, for the sake of their fathers, is not the same thing as approving of whatever the Jews might do, or agreeing with Zionism, or agreeing with the present position of the current administration of the Israeli government, whatever it might happen to be. That is not the point. The point is that a peculiar animus against the Jews is out, and to give way to it is to rebel against God’s gospel strategy.”
