I have no idea why one would hate jews in the first place, so please inform me.

John 8:38-53

38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.


44 Ye are of your father the DEVIL, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.



45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

I wouldn't know. However, I would guess that it stems from a tendency to generalize from Israel to all Jews in all nations.

Possibly because they're just the one biggest and easiest to find scapgoat in the world.

Alright first off, Jesus speaks not about Abraham, nor about the Jews in general. He speaks to a sinner, but if a sinner repents, he goes to heaven.

How bout when God anoints Abraham to be the first leader of the Nation of Israel, and calls him blessed? How bout that Jesus was a Jew? Is that passage the only thing in the bible you look at? And by no means does that give you any reason to hate Jews.

How bout that Jesus was a Jew?

Jesus was a Levi, not a Jew!!!

Jew means from the tribes of Judah and I think one more.
Hebrew means any tribe such as Ephriam, Judah, etc, All 12 tribes are hebrew.

Jesus was a Levi, not a Jew!!!

What's the difference?

What's the difference?
Jews are obviously of the tribe of Judah, hence Judaism...
The Levi tribe is not Jewish.

Jesus was a Levi, not a Jew!!!
Why did his cross say, King of the Jews? If he was not Jewish, why was he born of a Jewish Mother, the Jewish God, and brought up by a Jewish Man (Joseph), and explained the old testament to the elders in the temple when he was a young child? He was Jewish.

Mary was a Levi, therefore so was her Son.
Neither are Jewish.

I have no idea why one would hate jews in the first place, so please inform me.

I don't have any idea why you make pointless threads every 5 minutes... But hey!

He was "mocked" so they called him King of the jews, you read your bible?

Unfortunately, while "Jew-haters" seem to be rampant nowadays in the world, I do believe during the height of Hitler's reign, most of them had a "solid" (however, wrong) hatred for Jews.

Today, though, people jump on bandwagons, hold onto their ignorances much longer, and follow suit with those same people who preach the tenets of equality, the right of religious freedom, and the rights to all men to live in the world.

It's a vicious cycle. Just like Alcoholism.

I vote for another Prohibition, another Al Copone.

Here's my Biblical quote

(this is just my anti-thesis; I do not actually believe this about the Bible)
Well the Bible is so contradictory in nature that any and all credibility it has with your quote is therefore disregarded
