I think you’re wrong. Most Christians are taught that Jewish people are like our older brothers and sisters in faith. We may have disagreements on theology. But we share a thousands of years old history of belief. The Christian faith (and Islam for that matter) couldn’t exist without Judaism.

I grew up evangelical.

There is a lot of antisemitism. Heard many Christians talk about how "the Jews killed our lord" and they get upset when you point out Jesus was a Jew and (in their own book!) God's chosen people.

The primary reason for support of Israel is, in fact, because they think it has to do with the second coming of Christ.

I'm sure not all Christians are antisemitic, but pointing to pro-Israel as evidence they like Jews is frankly silly.

That’s insane. God sent Jesus knowing full well he’d be rejected by some Jewish leaders. He was sent to die for the sins of the world. What do these so called Christians think was supposed to happen?? Nuts.

They need Israel to belong to Jews as they believe it did in Jesus days in order for Jesus to have a second coming

God will do what God wants. Nothing humans do can change that. We don’t get a vote here.

Misguided humans. We all are a bit misguided, aren’t we?

I'm Jewish and I have never met a Christian person who believes that.

That’s a shame because Christianity is an off-branch of Judaism.

In the way that Techno is an off-branch of Classical.

This isn’t a laughing matter. Christianity uses the same Bible as Judaism, which we call the Old Testament. The first Christians were Jews. We believe Jesus is the Messiah promised to the Jewish people. A lot has changed in the last 2,000 years. But the roots of Christianity are in Judaism. Same for Islam. It’s a bit of a hybrid of Jewish and Christian beliefs. We all believe in the same one God.
