Why are Jews so scared of Jesus?

[truth1337]

As the title says. Very very often in scripture, and Talmud, Jews seem terrified of Jesus Christ, and full of hate caused by a fear that is difficult to understand. What is the real reason behind why Jews are so terrified of Jesus Christ, who preached love and compassion to mankind?

For example?

[truth1337]

Like the scene in Talmud where they say Jesus will boil in excrement. Or just news stories like in Jerusalem when religious extremist Jews spit on Christians just because they're Christians. Or how handing out bibles in some parts of Israel can get you in trouble. Where does this extremely strong sense of fear of Jesus Christ come from?

I guess you read that on Wikipedia without reading the actual text.

“He [Onkelos] then went and raised by incantations the sinners of Israel. He asked them: Who is in repute in the other world? They replied: Israel. What about joining them? They replied: Seek their welfare, seek not their harm. Whoever touches them touches the apple of his eye. He said: What is your punishment? They replied: With boiling hot excrement, since a Master has said: Whoever mocks at the words of the Sages is punished with boiling hot excrement. Observe the difference between the sinners of Israel and the prophets of the other nations who worship idols.”

Where does it mention Jesus?

Or just news stories like in Jerusalem when religious extremist Jews spit on Christians just because they're Christians.

By nature extremists are extreme, and those guys are the extreme of the extreme so not really representative of Jews in general.

Or how handing out bibles in some parts of Israel can get you in trouble.

Modern Jews in general don’t have negative opinion of Jesus, much less would they be afraid of a dead man.

Yes, those are the ones I mean, I would like to understand them. Why are they so scared of Jesus Christ? All he did was teach love and compassion.

[Stark of Winterfell]

They aren't scared of Jesus. They just despise and look down on people who don't subscribe to their sect of their religion. Like extremist Christians and extremist Muslims. Why did Catholic and Protestant Irish spend a decade shooting each other and setting bombs? Why do Sunnis and Shia fight each other. Why do some Muslims commit honor killings and such? Extremists are extremists, and do these things. Extremist Jews harass and spit on moderate Jews, as well as Christians and Muslims.

Also, for the record Jesus isn't mentioned in Jewish scriptures.

I totally agree. Every religion has extremists, muslims, catholics, jews, whatever. I would even say that there are even extremist atheists, no matter how weird that may sound. My personal rule is just to leave each one with their own beliefs.

This thread has the makings of an instant classic...

[Valden]

Could you give some examples please

[Senaron]

If i remembered right they sent Jesus to die and all that because they thought he was an imposter, and the True Messaih wasn't on earth yet or some such

[Habelo]

Lets hope things like these doesnt start more sadness for the jews, like what happend in rome, then under christen europe, then ww2.

[boofhead]

I've never met a Jew who was scared of Jesus.

[nce_wht_guy]

Because he looked like a rapist?

While Truth makes many insane points poorly, he sometimes asks good questions (poorly, and for the wrong reasons).

Why are insane extremists afraid of Jesus? In fact, why are insane extremists afraid of anything?

I don't think they are afraid, but even the Israeli media doesn't really seem to have the answer. It's almost always Ultra-Orthodox teenagers in Jerusalem. It's usually targeted at Christian clergymen, so I suspect it's that they see Christian symbols as idols. The Chief-Rabbinate of Israel has condemned the practice, but Ultra-Orthodox Jews don’t accept their authority. There was one incident in which an Armenian seminary student punched the guy who spit on him. The Armenian was arrested for assault, but the judge dropped the charges because punching someone for spitting was considered to be a reasonable response (and I agree). The spitters are usually charged with assault as well.

Anyway, these people reproduce like mad, and don’t serve in the IDF, so they are eventually going to become a problem for secular Israel.

Because they're extremists and don't understand that there could possibly be any logical viewpoint other than their own. To them, the fears and phobias are rational.

[Condottiere 40K]

I don't think the Jews are scared of Jesus, but they might be a little apprehensive of his and Mohammad's adherents.

If Jews during Jesus' time then I guess because in their heart they know that Jesus is their messiah but they don't want to accept him at that time as their priority was not regarding the spiritual strength which was preached by Jesus.

They were looking for a warrior that can free them from Rome. That Messiah however came a few hundred years later but they did not follow too since he was not a Jew but an Arab.

[Manco]

They weren't, except maybe a few who were worried about their position and social unrest should he remain popular/grown in popularity. A
nNd extremists being extremists of course, a bit like you.

More apt question: why are you obsessed with Jews? Why do you fear Jews?

Bla bla bla Nazi propaganda bla bla bla

He denies he's a Nazi, vilifies communism and the Jews, tosses up a couple of poorly edited youtube videos and a racist or "national socialist" blog or two. We all have a good laugh, he keeps trying to convince us were all sheeple, we ask for sources, he provides none. We counter his arguments with facts, he ignores those facts or says we're wrong despite no logical evidence to the contrary. We get bored and make Lizard Jew jokes, he gets bored of being ragged on, leaves for a month or two, comes back, we do the whole song and dance over again. Rinse, wash, repeat.

It's all always so predictable.
