Jesus acknowledged that the Jews were the descendants of Abraham, but that they weren’t the “children of Abraham” or the “children of God” anymore, but the “children of the devil”. Since Abraham is not their father, but the devil is, the promises that God gave to Abraham of those blessing Abrahams children being blessed does not apply to the Jews. They rejected Christ and are the children of the devil and not Abraham.
In John 8:37 Jesus said “I know you are Abraham’s descendants”.
in vs. 38, “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would[c] do what Abraham did.”
In vs 42, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God.
In vs 44, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.“
I didn’t even say that. I said their religion is a rejection of Jesus.
Glad we can agree on that. I’d even say that “significant segment” is synonymous with “religious jewry”. I don’t see anyone representing “Judaism” who actually places the Torah above the Talmud. Have you ever? (To turn your rhetorical “get out of jail free card” against yourself.)
You can’t trick me with pilpul you dirty gypsy. When a jew refers to “oral Torah” hes a fucking ignorant lier, because nothing about it is passed down orally, and that’s been the case since 500ad. It’s all written in their stupid fucking book.
