Here's the thing. I know full well Jews in general have no concept of Hell. So if someone says you are going there, who cares? It doesn't even exist. Right?
I mean, I get the offense just from the superior attitude displayed while judging you. But to read into it all this other stuff? I don't get that.
As you don't even put much credit in the Tanakh, I'm not sure any fruit can ever come from simply sharing unsupported opinions.
I fully believe the Jews ARE God's special people.
I believe this is plain to anyone with even a cursory knowledge of history. There has been a clear pattern of a ridiculous amount of hatred towards the Jews for literally thousands of years. Everywhere they have been they've been hated.
This is a supernatural phenomenon IMO and only bolsters the claim that they are God's chosen.
telling some one they are going to hell - whatever it is - just speaks for itself.
If he thinks it that’s ok.
But normal people don’t tell people they have that in store for them.
I reiterate - it is abnormal which makes me believe he is really off.
You might think it - I don’t think you do. that’s ok. Your not verifying it and giving me directions and parking.
I think that your comments of the chosen people are wonderful.
You might not realize this but we are taught that the chosen people means that we chose God and not that God chose us. It is a very important distinction.
You are a good person.
I have mentioned that I have a friend - one of my best friends of 35 years who was catholic and went to baptist. I know that he thinks that non believers go someplace else but I understand him and he never talks to me about religion and visa versa
He is a wonderful guy. His whole family is.
I hope you can gain a better understanding of me from that.
I’m in the airport eating chicken teriyaki.
waiting for a delayed flight.
I hope that you can step into my shoes and understand what happens when a religious fanatic keeps telling you that being a good person is irrelevant and I am still going to hell - his sentiment - not mine.
