Jesus says that salvation is from the Jews. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the only God. The gates of the New Jerusalem are named after the twelve tribes of Israel. where does Christianity come in? It doesn’t come in at all. Christianity is a totally different religion from the Gospel of God. The God of Jesus Christ was the God of Israel, not the Christian God a.k.a Trinity. The mediator between God and mankind is the man Christ Jesus, not the Christian “God-Man” Christ Jesus. that many Jews hate Jesus is a different story. to be antisemitic is impossible for a person who believes that Jesus is the Messiah. #Christianity

The Bible may have undergone many changes, some so significant that they influenced the spread of propaganda and the use of Christianity as a political tool throughout the centuries. Jesus does not represent Christianity, and he never intended to become famous or create a religion. Jesus wanted the word to spread his main… teachings are centered on basic principles of justice, forgiveness, helping others, and not seeking revenge, etc. It doesn't matter whether the Bible is true or false; it remains the most remarkable philosophical book in human history. We can't fully become what God wants us to be. We can spread His word and feel frustrated that others don't act according to biblical teachings, but we will never behave perfectly. I'm still unsure why we can't achieve this even if we try, and what the meaning of all this evil we have.

it has been said that: “In the first century in Palestine, Christianity was a community of believers. Then Christianity moved to Greece and became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome and became an institution. Then it moved to Europe and became a culture. And then it moved to America and became a business.”

this shows how far the Christian religion is from the source. Jesus asked his disciples “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 16:15-17) Who is Jesus in Christian religion? The Chalcedonian Definition says: “Therefore, following the holy fathers, we all with one accord teach men to acknowledge one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at once complete in Godhead and complete in manhood, truly God and truly man, consisting also of a reasonable soul and body; of one substance with the Father as regards his Godhead, and at the same time of one substance with us as regards his manhood; like us in all respects, apart from sin; as regards his Godhead, begotten of the Father before the ages, but yet as regards his manhood begotten, for us men and for our salvation, of Mary the Virgin, the God-bearer; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only-begotten, recognized in two natures, without confusion, without change, without division, without separation; the distinction of natures being in no way annulled by the union, but rather the characteristics of each nature being preserved and coming together to form one person and subsistence, not as parted or separated into two persons, but one and the same Son and Only-begotten God the Word, Lord Jesus Christ; even as the prophets from earliest times spoke of him, and our Lord Jesus Christ himself taught us, and the creed of the fathers has handed down to us.” https://thewestminsterstandard.org/the-chalcedonian-creed/

I completely agree with this, but it is difficult to explain this to a Protestant. They are very rigid in their doctrinal beliefs, and for them, doctrine often seems more important than being a good person. It’s a completely hypocritical comment, as I am not the right person to make this comment.

The perpetrators were Soviet authorities, primarily composed of ethnic Russians and not Jews. In the Russian Revolution the conflict was driven by political, economic, and social factors rather than ethnic or religious motives.

The revolution saw participation from people of many ethnicities and backgrounds and focusin disproportionately on the ethnicity of some participants can contribute to harmful stereotypes and does not reflect the broader, multifaceted nature of historical events.
