Jesus was born a Jew whether people like it or not. His name was translated into Joshua and his last supper was a Seder, a Jewish celebration. He died a Jew, a rabbi, a teacher, a reformer and a very brave man. Mary his mother was called Miriam. He was born in what is now the west bank. Christianity is based on Jewish law. His birthday on the December 25th and having a virginal mother is not unique to Christianity. The Romans who were threatened by Jews who found their occupation oppressive and cruel, punished Jesus for fighting against the destruction of his people and those who made bargains with their oppressors to survive. What the "New" Testament has done is to rewrite history and when the Romans became Catholic, anti-semitism really became a goal. based on years of conquering the Jews and so many others. Hitler was a Catholic.If a Man says he loves God but hates his brother, he is a liar. How can he love someone he has not seen and hate someone he has?That is not loving your neighbor as yourself.
