New Testament now equals "Anti-Semitism" (Jesus, crucifixion, disciples)

I was wondering exactly the same thing.

Too bad. Not sure it counts as "anti-semitic" but it's definitely a self-serving pat on the back at the expense of otherss. Given that so many Christians have failed to display the values taught by Jesus, who will God give the Kingdom to next?

Like it or not, Jesus said it and we're stuck with it. Scripture also says that the situation is temporary and that all Israel will ultimately be saved. It's also worth pointing out that the statement, although perhaps self-serving (if we think Jesus didn't say this but only the Gentile Church afterward, which is impossible to prove), it's no pat on the back. As Paul said, the Gentiles are a foreign branch grafted on the true tree (Israel). Therefore we ought to fear lest we are also removed.
