Should Christians Support Israel?

Demonic Agendas on the Left and Right

Yeah, I think there's a demonic agenda that is present that is you know wanting to. You know take Islam, you know. This wild donkey of a man whose hand is against everyone kind of thing and and insistently praise them to our doom, right?

So I think I think there's obviously agendas on that side too. On the side of left but then on the right we combat that with hey like well Israel is just like. You know, they're just like us. They're just Christians like us and we're all on the same side and we're on the side of the Saints and God and then you know, they're on the side of the devil and it's like but what's actually happening is the Jews are on the side of the devil right now and The Muslims are on the side of it devil right now.

Morning, the following message may be offensive to some audiences. These audiences may include but are not limited to professing Christians who never read their Bible. So these sodomites men with man buns those who approve of men with man buns man bun enablers white nights for men with man buns Homemakers who have finished Netflix, but don't know how to meal plan and people who refer to their pets as fur babies.

Your discretion is advised.

Christ’s Death, Resurrection, and Intercession

They will not act upon them and when the floods of divine judgment when the fires of wrath come They will be consumed and they will perish. God wrapped himself in flesh Condescended and became a man died on the cross for sin was resurrected on the third day Has ascended to the right hand of the father where he sits now to make intercession for us.

Jesus is saying there is a group of people who will hear his words They will act upon them and when the floods of divine judgment come in that final day their house will stand.

Defining What It Means to “Support Israel”

Welcome to Bible bash where we aim to equip the Saints for the works of ministry by answering the questions. You're not allowed to ask where your host Harrison Kerrigan pastor Tim mullet and today we'll answer the age-old question Should Christians support Israel now, you know.

Obviously, I think everyone who's listening to this has probably seen the news. That's been going on in the Middle East and you know, it's it's certainly not. As far as I can remember, it's certainly not a new phenomenon to see Violence in the Middle East.

Right right. Tim. Has that been your experience throughout your life?

I mean, it seems to be a constant, you know immutable.

Yeah, it seems to be like it seems to be like I mean, they're just Everyone over there is constantly fighting with each other in a way that you know It just doesn't seem to be the case in a lot of other places around the world.

You know, the Middle East seems to be probably like one of the one of the most if not the most violent places to live and Unfortunately right now you're seeing a lot of you know videos and pictures and stuff coming out of Israel right now where you see You know civilians being You know captured being tortured being murdered and and other worse things even and and so there is so there's been a lot of Spirited debate what we'll call it over how people should respond to this and you know I I've got to admit to him that I myself have have have been a little Confused in terms of what exactly I think just because I feel like I feel like I can see Personally I can see no You know distinguishable sort of like like Groups being formed over this it just kind of feels like you know some of the people that I normally disagree with Take this position and some of the people that I normally disagree with take this other position and Then the same thing for the people that I normally do agree with I feel like I've seen people that I normally do agree with on both sides of this issue when it comes to Israel and in Palestine And and so, you know, I'm sure there's a lot of Christians out there who are looking at all of this and they're saying hey I don't really know What to think about all this I don't know I don't have any sort of theological Implication either way maybe a lot of them have some kind of like hey, I don't want innocence to be murdered Right, so I would like that to stop.

But then beyond that, you know, I don't I'm sure there's a lot of people who just don't have a whole lot To go off of here. And so so Tim, you know When it comes to this question should Christians support Israel is there a biblical is there a biblical case one way or the other You know, is there a right or a wrong answer?

I'm sure there is but but you know What what would you say to answer that question?

I guess you know at the start you probably need to define what it means to you know.

Support Israel and that I mean that's some at least at least six billion dollars in a Starting point as a starting point. Yeah.

When people yeah, I think we've probably already given them that much. This point but yeah, no, I think in general you when people say that phrase. It really it's kind of like a meaningless phrase in general.

So I mean it was the kind of thing that people Said as it relates to Ukraine and Russia. So you can see people on social media basically posting there I stand with Ukraine. Kind of thing or putting the Ukrainian flag and in their profile picture or whatever and that helps win the war man.

I know you I know you don't think it does but that that I mean that's scaring up. That's scaring Russia off when you put that that bi-colored flag in your in your name on in your bio on Twitter. It is very intimidating for sure.

I think when normal people are using this kind of language it essentially amounts to something along the lines of I'm rooting for them like they're my college football team or something. Yeah to say I stand with Ukraine.

I think it is about that significant of a statement to say that you're treating.

I stand I stand with Alabama and they stand with Ukraine. Yeah, it's about the same kind of thing.

It's like hey, you're watching the game and then you're rooting for your you've picked a side and the decision that you made at that point. It's about as meaningful as all that. It's basically saying yeah, I I'm going for them, man I hope they win, you know, and and I think it doesn't really mean much more than that when people are saying that now.

You know when you're saying it at a make sure the United States stand with Ukraine and that may mean. Like send them aid in that way like send them tanks and weapons. Possibly boots on the ground that kind of thing.

So that's. Yeah, I guess I guess these words are being used in different ways, but then I think when the standard Christian is using it. They're probably just using it in about as trivial way of that and then you know when the pagan is using it I mean, it may mean something along the lines of.

Thoughts in you know, I'm sending them thoughts or something like that. You're sending you're sending good vibes good vibes and thoughts which is like the secular like.

You know materialistic version of prayer, you know to where they're sending their material thoughts out into the void and We're vibing for Israel. So I'm getting myself all emotionally worked up for you and invested in your outcome.

But it's about you know, it's meaning meaningless is that. So I mean when you're talking about should Christians stand with Ukraine I I think a lot of what you see happening on social media Basically reduces to that.

I mean it basically reduces to whose side are you going for in the competition and it's you know related to that then. I mean I if you're thinking about it along those lines, then it really is an interesting question because It really it is the kind of thing that Christians have unthinkingly viewed the Jews viewed Israel as Quasi Christians, you know.

You know this whole idea of there being this Judeo Christian worldview where Jews are basically just the same as us because we both believe in the Old Testament or something along those lines and then we basically share the same values and the same same convictions and then I think for many people like Christians kind of Unthinkingly view the Jews in that kind of way as if they're almost quasi Christians or almost there or something.

You know, so then there's like this special sense in which we should be for them over and against for.

You know any other country in particular any enemy of Israel or something is our Israel.

The Abrahamic Covenant, the New Covenant, and Romans 11

Yeah, and a lot of that a lot of that is based on a Dispensational reading of the Abrahamic Covenant. So the idea of the Abrahamic Covenant is that God made a covenant with Israel and The conditions of those covenants are that he would bless those who bless them and to those who dishonor them he would curse.

So under the terms of the Old Testament covenant if you were, you know for Israel you supported Israel under the Old Covenant. There were blessings that came from that. So if you were an Israel's ally you would receive blessings if you became their enemy.

There were curses that God would enact upon you over and against that kind of decision and a lot of that I think has Influenced American foreign policy over the past, you know, you know 60 70 years. It post-world War two, I mean a lot of Americans just think that way they're you know Step one there God's chosen people and then they're in the back of their mind.

There's this idea. You know, there's this Abrahamic Covenant and so you need to be nice to the Jews and You know. And then a lot of America's prosperity and as a nation has been reduced to that and in the minds of many people particularly if they're dispensational minded.

Meaning like we God has blessed America because we have been pro Israel and we've helped Israel been Israel's ally. And we've supported them. And so they're thinking about it along those terms in terms of like the Abrahamic Covenant in that way but the part of the problem is that Israel Israel broke the Abrahamic Covenant and God's made a new covenant with the house of Israel in the house of Jacob.

You know not like the Old Covenant, which they broke right? So God made a new covenant and and Now this new covenant right has been enacted in Jesus's blood and You know, the Jews have been broken off of the olive tree, right?

They've been broken off the tree and Gentiles have like the unbelieving Jews have been broken off and Gentiles have been grafted in and now the Gentiles are heirs according to the promises made to Abraham.

So Under the terms of the new covenant Christians, you know Christians whoever they happen to be Christ followers, whether they're Jewish Christ follower or Gentile Christ follower at that point they're the recipients of promises made to Abraham and God will bless those who bless, you know Christians and he will curse those who curse him and America's success is not founded in there you know, basically Support and good vibes and happy feelings towards the ethnic nation Israel at this point I mean God's blessed America because it had a Christian foundation and because of their relationship to the New Covenant and to Christ in that way.

So like the cup the issue is like the covenantal issues are no longer the same anymore. And you have a lot of people who are basically looking at Israel and saying hey, we better be nice to him. So that God will do us a favor or something and that whole structure is wrong.

It's the whole structure is off now. But then that I guess that that structure is causing Christians to Just give this unthinking kind of allegiance and loyalty to Israel in the hopes of For the common man, the hope is that you'll get some kind of kickbacks from doing that or something along those lines.

But then you have to realize that you know as you read through Romans 11, I mean, there's a lot that said as it relates to this topic and you know, obviously like Israel like the Jews they put Jesus to death and They put as many Christians to death.

During the early years and that Paul Paul was like one of the Paul murdered Christians before he became one. Like I mean they were going after the church. That's a big deal that we shouldn't just sweep under the rug, right?

Right, right. And so, you know now like it the Jews have become our enemies for the sake of the gospel, right? But then you know related to the covenant They're still like there's still the sense in which they're beloved like in terms of like the promises made in the Old Covenant and everything Else, but I mean like as it relates to the New Covenant, they're enemies, right?

They're and so they're not only our enemies their enemies of Christ and and What's really weird is like it's it's this is one of those subjects where you know The ADL will come after you real quick if you don't just basically Praise Israel and pretend as if like we're basically fundamentally the same in certain ways.

And so if you say hey, you know unbelieving Jews right now, they're under a curse, you know, they're not under God's blessing. They're under a curse and then they're there there are enemies according to the truth, right?

If you say that then like instantaneously Like people just get really nervous and they get really weird and they feel like you're saying something anti-semitic in that way because like anti-semitic basically means not Incessantly praising Jews today and right excusing anything that they do that way and.

But then part of the problem is I mean, yeah, I mean, there's obviously a lot of problems like they're they're not They're not Related to Christ and a good way. They've rejected their Messiah their form of Judaism right now is unrecognizable in terms of you know What God commanded the Old Covenant even I guess a totally different thing.

And so then you know right now they're hostile to God. They're hostile to gospel. They're hostile to truth. They're hostile to Christians and You know, I don't know that we should just unthinkingly say I'm gonna take their side in any conflict that happens as if it isn't possible that Unbelieving people can do unbelieving things.

Why Christians Should Not Treat Unbelieving Jews as Quasi-Christians

Okay.

So right. Yeah, you know, it's funny. You mentioned that too because I I didn't think about. Something you said made me think about this There a while back. I remember I you know online I had people who I'd never met before calling me anti anti-semitic.

Just because I I think I was talking about the Pharisees but in the New Testament and You know how Jesus constantly called them out how how Jesus treated the Pharisees how he interacted with them, you know, essentially.

Essentially, you know boiling down to like hey the Pharisees oftentimes in the Gospels are the bad guys. Right, and these are these are Jews they're the bad guys. They're the ones opposing Jesus. They're the ones who are you know lusting for Pat as much power as possible.

Putting all of the burdens on the weak and on the poor instead of on themselves. Seeking all the glory for themselves in every way. They're presented as the bad guys, you know. And in the gospel or at least you know, I mean one of the bad guys I guess I guess say you could consider Satan the bad guy in the Gospels, but You know and I had I'd never heard of these people before but You I had the trans Jewish community Coming after me for saying that first for saying that the Pharisees were the bad guys in the gospel.

They were they were doing terrible things and they're accused accusing me of being a Jew hater. Because I said what the Gospels already plainly teach us You know about about the way the Jews treated Jesus and I just thought like this is so weird.

Like I can't even I can't even Say something that is plainly obvious and in the scriptures. Because without fear of being called a you know a Jew hater.

They might yeah. Yeah, it is bizarre. I mean, there's a lot of like.

And and it was and it was it was trans Jewish people to like I don't I don't even know. You know, I was trying in my head. I was trying to give some sort of you know think the best of Jewish people by assuming that this must be an incredibly Vocal minority, you know in the in the Jewish community.

Hopefully this is not like a a good representation of Jews in general, you know, the the transvestite Jews. I've never even heard of that group before honestly.

Total Depravity, Anti-Semitism, and the Limits of Christian Solidarity

I mean, I think the issue is like we like what one of the things that's happening at this point Is it there's a weird game that's being played. I mean and you can see accounts like this online. You can see accounts that are just anti Jews like just Almost portraying Jews as paragons of wickedness or something like that over and over everything else and then you have all the predictable voices who are the respectable evangelical types who are coming along and basically just saying anti-semitism is a problem and you know, we need to be on Israel's side and then part part of the part of the issue is I don't I Don't think that Jews are uniquely sinful as a class of people or something like that but but but but the error on the other side is to almost pretend like because This idea of you know, this Judeo-christian worldview or something like that Pretend as if that they're morally neutral and everyone else is uniquely sinful and then part of the problem is that yeah I mean Jews apart from Christ.

Like unbelieving Jews, they're totally depraved just like unbelieving, you know Hamas is totally depraved just like every single, you know ethnic group that doesn't embrace God as a whole is Totally depraved.

Okay, and there you they're actually uniquely hostile to God too as a group, right? There's obviously Messianic Jew Jews today too. But as a group, they're still hostile to God their enemies of Christians for the sake of the gospel, so they're not I mean you can't just look at them and say hey.

They're somehow free from sin nature and they share our values and they're just like us and everything else I mean you look at the festival and the things like that like the degeneracy that you see like they're.

You know, there's obviously a lot of Jews that are in Hollywood putting out the filth that they're putting out. They're not on Christ's team. They're not on our team. We're not on the same side, you know.

Well, it's like it's like take that take the same, you know, take the same thought process. Hey, we need to support Israel Almost no matter what and then apply, you know read through the Old Testament and try to apply that same logic.

You know like hey day David, you know, he tries to take Uriah's wife as his own. What I don't want to be in support of that, you know, that's adultery. Oh, do you hate Jews? Yeah, like like just apply that over and over again, you know, and I'm not saying I'm not.

I'm not saying that the Israelites Never did anything right in the Old Testament. I'm just saying they did a lot of really wrong stuff, you know, and.

Hamas, Islam, and the Political Polarization of the Conflict

Yeah, they killed Jesus I can they're hostile to him and a good example of how I get good example of someone like a person that we respect who Gets that seems to get caught up in this thing that we're talking about would be Justin Peters here So he's linking to a video of a hundred He is really is killed in a Hamas attack or whatever.

He's and this is what he says. He says this is not normal human animosity. The hatred Hamas and his supporters and enablers a few of whom are in the US Congress have towards the Jewish people is a demonic Hatred this level of barbaric barbarism and degeneracy is nothing short of demonic.

Satan and his fellow angels know the scriptures. They know God has a plan for Israel and they hate it they know they're doing sure and it is but then See the problem with that kind of thing is it's like there's no Like no one occupies the moral high ground at this point here, you know now I'm not trying to say that The Jews necessarily are a terrorist organization like Hamas or something like that I'm gonna try to adopt a moral equivalency, but then I don't want to paint the Jews as if they're innocent victims free from a sin nature who Like it couldn't be possible that they're doing anything wrong, right and then like they're Like so you don't want to put them in the same category as Christians currently meaning like they're currently enemies of God.

They're not currently under God's blessing. They're under God's curse and They've been experiencing the curse of God for the past 2 ,000 years. That's what they've been experiencing so they've been experiencing the curse of God and Like not all of that is just like they're just being persecuted unjustly.

It was just like Peter says like like you're You know, let no one suffer essentially like as an unjust person, right? So so like the issue here is just to say that it's not as if this is just like Okay, there are allies.

They're God's people, you know period the end all of the Persecution that they're experiencing is totally unjust or something like that A lot of itself inflicted a lot of its Result of them rejecting their Messiah and a lot of a lot of what they're doing is evil currently and bad currently and it's not Just that like anyone who's against Israel was just demonic God actually is judging them actually In all the ways that he's doing that he's judging them.

It's not like as if God has a plan right now to bless them. But then if you read that Justin Peters tweet you would think that God's plan right now Currently in the moment is like they're His people that he's blessing right now, right?

They're his people right now that he's blessing that he has a plan for and that anyone who is Doing anything bad to them is is demonic and hateful and I mean, you know, even like Owen, you know Strand or whatever his name is.

However, you pronounce that, you know, amen JP good moral clarity here appreciate your voice very much. And so I mean, this is like hey, I think this is a little more complicated than that but I don't know that you're allowed to say it because People are so primed to just unthinkingly take any Kind of hey, I don't know that we should just be Enthusiastically in favor of everything that Israel does because they're doing a lot of bad stuff, too.

Because they're unbelievers because they're hostile to Christ and they've been doing a lot of bad stuff for the past 2 ,000 years. I don't know that we can just unquestioningly support them and look the other way with everything that they're doing.

And keep on giving them resources and money and you know favor and kindness and call them our allies. I mean in a certain sense I mean there they hate there there they hate the gospel just as much as they hate as any unbeliever does, you know.

They like they're not on our team right now. Okay, they can become on our team if they return to Christ and You know You can read through Romans 11 and it seems like there's some indication at the end of the age that they probably will in mass Come to Christ, but until then they're enemies for the sake of the gospel.

It's literally what Romans 11 says and so that doesn't mean that we have to have a unique kind of prejudice against them. But then that doesn't mean that we need to have just this unthinking kind of I'm on your side and anything you do is right and You know, I like I'm gonna look the other way and look at everything you do in the best possible light.

That's just not the way it works. I mean they're anti God like they're. I mean, they're some of the most aggressive Pushers of all this homosexual agenda all the sodomy all the sexual confusion and all the sexual immorality out there.

I mean, they're there in a lot of sense the individuals, you know who are. At the least at the very least, you know actively involved in that and those kind of agendas. So, I don't know that we're on the we operate the moral high ground just saying I'm on their team no matter what they do.

And anytime anyone is acting against them as those are demonic forces coming against, you know God's purposes and God's plans like no he has planned right now to judge them. They're under his judgment.

They've been under his judgment for the past 2 ,000 years and they'll continue to be until they come to Christ and maybe our message To them should be repent like and come to Christ. The Messiah you've rejected maybe that should be the thrust of our message and maybe there's a way to say that it doesn't feel like it's Filled with personal animus or something like that, which I mean, I don't we've never even said anything about this.

I don't know that anyone could accuse us of having you know. A deep-seated personal animus against them or something along those lines, but they probably will.

Romans 11, Repentance, and Not Being Haughty

Right. Yeah, I mean if you if you can just You know say what the Bible plainly says in the Gospels about the Pharisees and be called a Jew hater you an anti-semite then. Pretty much. I think I think pretty much anything that you say if it's if it's even if it can even be perceived as against Israel people are gonna come out and and just call you something like that just because it's like it I mean, it's just a Low-hanging fruit basically, you know to call someone that but I was gonna add that was one thing I was gonna ask you is you know, because we're saying hey Hey, maybe we should slow down here and not just immediately jump to Israel's defense every time No matter what they do and blindly support them no matter what they do.

You know, does that mean that we I Mean, that's gonna feel like a silly question for you to have to answer probably but does that mean that we should actively be? Supporting, you know Hamas attacks and you know praising them endlessly for their for their ruthless.

Blood bloodlust. I mean there certainly is an agenda on the other side. And I mean that seems like Do you think about the Obama administration and the agenda they've had? For the past. I mean, you know the Obama Biden agenda, which is probably Obama behind the scenes.

Out of it, you know, so I mean I think that there's I mean there's obviously like pretty Big Agenda on this other side to where I mean, it seems like Biden just gave like, you know Billions of dollars of military equipment that is now being used against Israel at this very moment in his you know Withdrawal from the Middle East and so I mean, I I don't I don't pretend like there aren't on the other side like on So what's happening is this is like, you know polarized politically.

So on the left side you have this like Mindless Insane kind of support of terrorists, you know to where I You have like terrorist attacks in America post 9-eleven or whatever where the guy is shouting aloo akbar Whatever and holding the severed beheaded head of you know, the person that they've beheaded in America you know in the middle of in the middle of the the sidewalk or whatever and You know, they're not they don't even say it's a terrorist, you know.

Because because they don't want to be Accused of Islamophobia or whatever, right? So I mean there's obviously this just I mean, I yeah I think there's a demonic agenda that is present that is you know wanting to You know take Islam, you know This wild donkey of a man whose hand is against everyone kind of thing and incessantly praise them to our doom, right?

So I think I think there's obviously agendas on that side too on the side of left but then on the right we combat that with hey, like well Israel is just like You know, they're just like us. They're just Christians like us and we're all on the same side and we're on the side of the Saints and God and then you know they're on the side of the devil and it's like but what's actually happening is the Jews are on the side of the devil right now and The Muslims are on the side of devil right now.

And I mean, I think that the in different ways. They're both doing harm, you know, so I mean, I don't see a lot of videos of You know Jews Doing the same kind of thing as the terrorists are. But then I mean they're doing I mean you can you can look up you can see like they're doing evil things just look at social media and they're doing pretty evil things to their prisoners and Stuff like that that are not really good dimension, you know so, I mean I But but they're obviously not an active terrorist group who in the same kind of way.

But I mean, I do think that they're exercising the Jews are exercising safe tannic influence over the world systems to a disproportionate agree can degree comparison to their size meaning like they do have a lot of influence in the banking system and they have a lot of influence and media and entertainment and they're they're running Satan's playbook that way right now because they're enemies of God and then you know, you have like You know these terrorist organizations like Hamas who are running his agenda in other ways.

And so, you know, I mean, I think you you have to think like if you're not a Christian you're you're on Satan's team. Your sons of the devil, right? Right. That's just Bible 101, right? They are other father devil like so the Jews are of their father devil right now Muslims are of their father the devil right now, you know, I think just got two brothers fighting you got to yeah and they're there, you know, they're Spreading their pollution in different ways both of them.

And I mean certainly I think You know a lot of the stuff that Hamas is doing and the Muslim world is doing is I mean just you know, think about some of the videos and stuff that have been coming out and everything else I mean, it's just awful.

It's just terrible. The kind of stuff they're doing and I mean they're enemy that must be stopped too, you know. So I mean but then at the same so I don't you know, the issue is on my end I don't I don't know enough about you know politics in the Middle East to know even what to say about this fight so to speak other than you know, obviously Hamas is a evil that needs to be stopped, you know and.

And you know, I They're a difficult evil to fight there. They're obviously an evil that needs to be stopped and I don't want them. You know, I don't want a bunch of a bunch of them, you know living in my neighborhood me.

That's right. There's obviously that you know, and I mean just thinking about the. You know I think the terrorist attacks that are it being initiated in Palestine where they're sending miserable Missiles over into Israel and everything else in the way that they're doing it I don't blame Israel for you know responding to that with equal, you know threats of threats of you know Military force or whatever else and so but I I don't actually know enough about the situation to helpfully comment on.

Whose side we should be on other than I just want to register that it is a little bit weird how Christians interact with this kind of subject and The limits of what you're allowed to say and I think a lot of the kind of things that we have said right now Would put us in like a lot of hot water with a lot of people even though I don't know that we've said.

You know, I don't think I've said I don't think we've said anything. That's just remarkably Yeah. Anti-semitic or anything else like I mean, I think anti-semitic right now. It's just this buzzword that basically means you you have to unthinkingly praise Israel and give them whatever they want.

Support them and view them as basically Saints or something.

Why “Anti-Semitic” Has Become a Buzzword

Well, it's it's used the same way and like racist and you know homophobic transphobic all bigot, you know all of these I mean basically just words that essentially have no meaning every day they they have less and less meaning, you know overall and and and.

It's it's certainly one of those words. It's probably one of the. It's probably not as common as the other ones are just in terms of at least in my personal experience it's probably one it's not as common as the other ones, but then it is still like a I Mean you get called that for anything, you know, like if you don't blindly support them.

It's just like you must hate Jews, you know. Yeah it's like I feel like there's I feel like there's gotta be a middle ground somewhere in between like endlessly praising them blindly and Just totally hating them in every way possible.

Might as well be Hitler send them to the camps right now.

I think my posture is just I don't know enough about. Am I allowed to say I don't know enough about the situation to.

Helpfully comment. Other. No Sam. You're not allowed to say that I don't know enough about the situation to help the comment.

I don't know to what extent they deserve what they're getting or they're being unjustly treated. It's you know as far as that's concerned. But then at the same time, it's weird that you're not allowed to say I don't know.

So I want to register that. It's weird that you're not even allowed to say like it's possible that they could be. You know, there could be facing consequences that are.

That are you know? Understandable. So but then they're obviously under the jet. So I want to say I don't know enough about pop about politics in the Middle East to know What to think at this point other than I know Hamas is bad.

Bad. I'm awesome bad. I also know that Jews, you know, they hate God they hate Christ, you know. They their enemy there are enemies for the sake of the gospel. I also know they're of their father the devil currently and their will is to do his will so I know that so I know that there's no such thing as you know an unbeliever who because he happens to be an ethic Jew is is Somehow escaped the stain of total depravity and you know is not hostile to God not hostile to this purposes.

So I know the Jews are hostile to God like unbelieving Jews, which are most of them. They're hostile to God's purposes right now. I don't you know, I know that Christians shouldn't hold any animosity towards them, right?

So as Romans 11 says don't get haughty right because right they were broken off so that we'd be grafted in in their place. So we shouldn't be arrogant or hostile or haughty and think to yourself that we're special and they're not I'm an undeserving sinner just like everyone else is so we're all undeserving sinners but then those who are not in Christ right now or objects of his wrath and the Jews are experiencing like Significant judgment of God and they've experienced it for 2 ,000 years.

Our message to them should be repent and believe the gospel. And although you may escape the wrath of God, so there has to be some way for me to say You're an enemy of Christ. Like you need to repent and believe the gospel.
