re: #35 Obdicut

that Jews will have to convert in order to be saved from damnation

That is not the subject. It is not the same thing as “aim is to see all Jews betrayed by the Anti-Christ and then die horribly”.

Yes, he used the word fringe, but like I point out, it is deep in the post and he is clearly NOT meaning it anywhere else in the post. Including the title.

I am still intensely curious about what it is that would make any Jew cozy up to Evangelical Christians whose only aim is to see them all betrayed by the Anti-Christ and then die horribly

Maybe he means those few Evangelical Christians? Or those fringe Evangelical Christians, but he doesn’t say that does he. Just like you didn’t say some conservative Christians, or even most.

He doesn’t talk ABOUT then fringe, sure he uses the word. But he doesn’t really describe “the fringe” in any way. He generalizes about Evangelical Christians…

So what does “vast majority of the fringe” really mean? A huge part of the really small part? So it is not even the whole fringe, it is just a large part of what is really a small fraction. You really think this tiny portion of a much larger group is what he is warning Jews not to cozy up to?

In your #9 you even infer that I would find it difficult to find a “variety of evangelical Christianity that does not believe” what is being said about them. Did you think it would be difficult to find the much larger group that isn’t saying the same thing as this tiny portion of the evangelical community?

No. You were not fooled. You didn’t misunderstand. You agreed, and you updinged. Then, just to prove it, you said something similar about conservative catholics.

In SFZ’s #4 “lot of non-crazy devout Christians who take an interest in/support Israel for religious or other reasons.” I think She is trying to say that not all of evangelical Christianity feels the way the post describes.

I am done. I have made my point.

I am offended in multiple ways by this post. As a Jew, and as a long standing member of this site. I find it bigoted. I no longer feel I should have to defend that. You clearly think otherwise. That’s ok for you.
