Take your anti-semetic trash out of here dawn. I suggest you go to a Neo-Nazi forum and post that pleading for forgivenesss for being jewish.Seriously, the bible says the jews are superior to the averge gentile. read the bible.
Chaimfan, I think jesus was a great man, but he was not hashem himself like christians seem to believe.
How dare you accuse me of anti-semitism? I am a Jew! It is not somehow anti-semitic to think that G-d chose us to be able to show His glory to the rest of the world. It is not anti-semitic to believe that G-d proves that He is indeed G-d to the rest of the world THROUGH us, and it is not anti-semitic to believe that we are NOT better than goyim. People are people.
What we have, and the gentiles have not had, is the Torah. It is the Torah which makes us Jews...we didn't come up with the Torah, G-d handed it down to us at Sinai...and NOT because we were some great and awesome people! During the wanderings in the desert G-d would have killed us all off and made a NEW nation out of the descendents of Moshe, but Moshe pleaded to HaShem on our behalf!
Read from Shemot (Exodus), taken from the JPS version:
7 And the LORD spoke unto Moses: 'Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have dealt corruptly; 8 they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said: This is thy god, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.' 9 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people. 10 Now therefore let Me alone, that My wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation.' 11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said: 'LORD, why doth Thy wrath wax hot against Thy people, that Thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying: For evil did He bring them forth, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from Thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against Thy people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Thy servants, to whom Thou didst swear by Thine own self, and saidst unto them: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.' 14 And the LORD repented of the evil which He said He would do unto His people. {P}
Therefore it is not because we are so great and awesome...but because HaShem has a special purpose for us among the nations that He chose us.
Never accuse me of anti-semitism. Never.
