God in Jeremiah 32:30-32:
"Indeed the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been doing only evil in My sight from their youth; for the sons of Israel have been only provoking Me to anger by the work of their hands. Indeed this city (Jerusalem) has been to Me a provocation of My anger and My wrath from the day that they built it, even to this day, so that it should be removed from before My face because of all the evil of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah which they have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings, their princes, their priests, their (false) prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem."
Don't forget that God was the first to want to commit genocide against the Jewish people, for Deuteronomy 9:12-14 says: "Then Yahweh said to me, 'Arise, go down from here quickly, for your people whom you brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly. They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made a molten image for themselves.' Yahweh spoke further to me, saying, 'I have seen this people, and indeed, they are a stiff-necked people. Let Me alone, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of you a nation mightier and more numerous than they.'"
Now you should understand why Ambrose of Milan said this: "God always hated the Jews. It is essential that all Christians hate them."
In Christian history and particularly monasticism, the voluntary acceptance of rules and self-regulations is a virtue. Compare the Recabites. What Paul actually says is to use your liberty to enslave yourselves one to another. IMHO the greatest discovery of sovereign liberty is the freedom to deign to walk as a peasant among others. Compare Tom Canty's friend.
