Why is this board so Zig Forums-tier sometimes? I thought we all grew out of Zig Forums a long time ago. I did.
I agree that Rabbinic Judaism, with its Talmud, has strayed from the true message of God and doesn't truly know him. And I am personally against Zionism (though I suppose that should be left up to political opinion at the end of the day). Still, the Jewish people are only humans in sin who need saving like the rest of us.
The people of Judah, and Israel as a whole, have been going astray since the time of Moses; but there has always been a faithful remnant among them, even until this day. There are some Jews who accept Jesus as the Jewish Messiah, and Lord of the world. These are the faithful remnant of the Israelites, holding true to the covenant that their ancestors made with the Lord, and being invited into the new covenant.
Jesus was indeed a Jew, and he came for both Jew and Gentile. Christianity began as a sect of Judaism, but then many Gentiles began coming in because the prophets of Israel in the past predicted that the light of God would eventually come to the Gentiles. Rabbinic Judaism is an outgrowth of Pharisaic Judaism, which rejected the Lord and followed false traditions, and also made up the heretical Talmud later on; but before their hearts were hardened against God, and before their false traditions were fully introduced, they were sitting in the seat of Moses truly observing God's law. The faith of the Jews within itself, divorced from the false traditions and sinfulness of the Pharisees and Sadducees, is from God, and Jesus himself, being a religious Jew, came to fulfill it and rebuke the Jews who had strayed from God, and to save the world from sin.
We should be praying for the Jewish people, for the Church even teaches that at the end of times they will realize Jesus to be the Jewish Messiah, and come to him.
A variety of reasons. Zig Forums believes itself to be the arbiter of Zig Forums and that all boards are just "Zig Forums with X". They see Zig Forums as being "Zig Forums with Jesus". They also believe themselves to be above any rules governing behavior, that they're special because they're somehow more enlightened. In reality they're no different than Zig Forums or /furry/ or the gay agenda.
Agreed. We'll lose all credibility if these Zig Forums LARPers keep coming here. Also, ethnostates are terrifyingly popular here.

Honestly the only thing I genuinely dislike about the Jews is their haughty "God's chosen people" attitude. The rest of the dislike stems from the stupid shit that SJWs do if you aren't bootlicking every minority simultaneously. I got shunned from a Neopets community bc of that tumblr sjw shit. Also, Zig Forums conspiracy theories about the Jews, though entertaining in their level of stupidity, are annoying and almost plausible; at the same time it's like a Zig Forumsack bursts in and consistently derails the conversation with whatever wild conspiracy theory is in vogue.

Yes but that's different of supporting Israel 100% of the time.
Cooper Thomas
Israel, as a political entity, should be supported 0% of the time. But the people still need to be saved from themselves, if possible.

God chose the ancestors of the Jewish people to be a great nation in order that the Messiah, God incarnate, might be born from them so that salvation could be brought to the world; as even the Lord Jesus himself says when speaking to the Samaritan woman at the well, "salvation is from the Jews." (John 4:22).
Some Jews have become prideful and think they're better then everyone. But not all Jews think this, with some having even come to Christ. We must realize that the Jews who are prideful are sinning just like anyone else when they feel pride; we are all human, we are all descendants of Adam, Jew and Gentile alike need saving from sin because we all do it.
We must pray for the Jewish people though, and we must help them understand that Jesus is their Messiah, and that he came from them and to them and to the rest of the world. We must help them understand that, by coming to Jesus, they would truly be following in the covenant their ancestors made with the Lord God. Abraham and Isaac and Jacob would want that for their descendants, and the Jews are among their descendants.
