What exactly does this mean?
From the Gospel of Matthew

>And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Fear of missing out on the party but not on the invite list.

those "from the east and west" are the gentile christians, the "children of the kingdom" are the unbelieving jews

Nothing is quite as comic…or as tragic…as a Christian espousing antisemitism

Jesus was literally called “rabbi.” The “king of the Jews.” They need to wise up.

I wasn't being anti-semetic, that's literally the meaning of the passage. Christians are essentially Jews who accept Christ as the Messiah and accept the New Covenant.


I fuckin' hate Jews, though, so you were close, I guess. Granted, that's sinful behavior on my part. A better Christian would feel pity and hurt for those who deny Christ and refuse his teaching, more than he would feel anger or hatred over what they get up to here in the world.

The passage wasn't denying Jews salvation either.. when you consider Matthew's audience was Jewish, you realize he's simply pleading for the naysayers to accept Christ. It's not at all a condemnation of Jews, but rather a plea..

It's what the fucking passage means, written by a supposed "jew" and speaking to supposed "jews".

>"jew"

Basically and everyone knows that's a strong possibility by now. It's not "antisemitic" to say that any more than it would be anti-british to doubt british-israelite narratives.
You do "share lineage" with the ancient Hebrews but so do they. Some Jew on this board posted a table of genetic data from graves meaning to prove he's a Hebrew but in his own data there's a sudden influx of blue eyes and r1b graves around 1200BC, around the supposed exodus. Your attempt to identify with and take control of the narrative of people thousands of years ago is just as silly as the other attempts like british or black israelites.

Christianity is the continuation of Judaism.
Just as Abraham's covenant follows that of Noah, and is followed by that of Moses, so does Jesus bring forth a new covenant, for Jews and Gentiles to follow. Those of the Jews who reject this covenant therefore branch off from traditional Judaism (now known as Christianity) and form their own sect. It's actually a great testament to the Bible to see how it correctly predicted that Jews reject their own Scriptures and God. All those talks of the Synagogue of Satan...

I've been samefagging in this thread and calling myself an anti-semite, lol. I was hoping for more responses, but there were few takers of the bait.

Please try not to hate anyone. You can criticize whatever behavior without going so far that you hate them or see them as inhuman.

It makes sense when you read it in context:
https://biblehub.com/bsb/matthew/8.htm

People like the centurion will be allowed in the kingdom of heaven, despite being gentiles, because of their great faith. While many of the Israelites will be thrown out due to their lack of faith.

Many books in the NT are straight up antisemitic. If that’s even the appropriate word, given they were written by Jews. But by the end of the Jesus movement it was clearly delineated that the Pharisees were the main sectarian enemy and the two hated each other, this is also visible in contemporary Jewish texts. The Pharisees also happen to be the ancestors of modern Judaism.
Modern western antisemitism is given shape by the Jesus/Pharisee sectarian rivalry displayed in the gospels. Things like
>The Jews killed Jesus and their descendants are accountable for this
>The new covenant and the New Testament supersede the old ones
>Jews serve Satan
Are literally in the New Testament. Jews know this. Anyone that’s actually seriously read the text knows this. The only people who deny it are coping hard and very likely haven’t read the Bible.
t. Born Christian and failed at converting to Orthodox Judaism in adulthood. It was a very enlightening experience on Jewish-Christian religious tensions.
