Anti-semitism started probably with the Conquest of the Caananites, so the Jews became cultural enemies of pretty much every non-Jew (as you were supposed to decimate anyone not of your culture). Although I think ancient Hebrews were all Semite, but also Assyrians, Phoenicans, even Arabs, etc. were all Semite but believed in different religions. And after Christianity formed, they only thought of Jesus as a prophet, they got smaller. World War 2 ahnilated most of Western European Jews. Only 14-16 mil today. The money myth of the Jews is medieval. The Catholic Church forbade banking, so the Jews took up the practice. Yes, Jews are persecuted for being "Jesus killers", even though Jesus was Jewish his whole life. The Romans crucified him because he was a radical. He could of caused a rebellion as the "King of the Jews".
^ This, And it's relevant to the thread. Were talking about why people hate jews, The reason I brought it up was because most of them have some stupid reason for it like, DA JUICE KONTROLL DA MEEDIA AND N DA MUNNY, I mean seriously they all have some crazy conspiracy theory about how jews rule the world secretly like their some sort of NWO or some shit, like those people who think Rock music and violent video games converts people to Satanism. Lol
Yes your right !, Every day I wake up and think to my self, how should I piss off the christian community today ?, Should I go paint pentagrams on their churches, Should I get on a internet fourm and type somthing about how come people hate jews and post a bible verse explaining why they could lend money and be good at it during that time ?, Or should I break all ten commandments except for the one about murder and cheating. But seriously, if you can't see how it ties in, You might want to read it again. P.S. you liked a post a guy made earlier that said exactly what I said earlier, He just didn't quote the bible.
Well it's not funny or cool. You aren't making a friends with the Christian community by doing this. You honestly are what we call a "fundamentalist".
LOL, It was sarcasm, jesus christ man, (Oops broke the second commandment ! How dare I !), It was a fucking post to show the connection between why Jews were hated because they could lend fucking money to non-jews, The Catholic church thought money lending was a sin, if the only thing your going to fucking bitch about is how I posted a freaking bible verse then maybe you should go to a different thread, Because obviously anything bible related is offensive to you.
I suggest, in your arguements against a supposed user in this thread, that you don't quote verses as it makes it completely invalid because you don't BELIEVE in the Bible. Use facts, statistics; possibly you do, I don't know. Deuteronomy 23:19 Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother(Aka a other jew) usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury. This doesn't explain the Jews source of banking anyways. Usury means to charg interest. Jews could give loans to their fellow worshippers as long as there was no profit. Non-Jews, or Gentiles, charging interest, or usury, was fine. More hate of Jews come from supposed Wealth hoarding and arrogance on Gentiles.
I do use statistics and you don't have to believe in the bible to use it, It's just a book, if your argueing against someone who believes in it and you can show them in their own book somthing that counters what they think it really messes them up, anyway that was just to show the part of the old testament that allowed jews to charge interest. It does actually, The christians were the source of their banking, Jew's at this point were already hated alot so when they needed a job they obviously weren't getting the very best jobs,So alot of them became tax collectors (Which at the time was considered a shit job because everyone loves those guys right ?). Now think of this, If your a rich Christian lord and you want to get more money how could you do it?, Easy give a Jew a Ton of money tell him to loan it out to the people and collect it and you get your money back doubled, While the Jew gets all the hate for being the tax collector and you don't anger the church.
http://jewface.us/ It states Jewish tax collectors came frm the roman times, Why were Jews already hated a lot, as you wrote but did not elaborate? Prob culture clash or fear Where did u get that a jewish lender would simply give hyge interest rates to Christians? Usury is a big sin for judaism, as told in Deuteronomy 23:19. Anyways, Jews became bankers, as u said, for Christians were forbade but Jews couldnt do normal jobs cuz they were forbade from hormal jobs Tax collecting wasnt considered bad becuz theres that commision.... But u would be considered a traitor of the Romans
Well Yeah the romans were in their homeland, Of course they had Jewish tax collectors. Their culture and religion, Religion was a very serious thing back then, Saying you weren't Christian was like saying you were going to kill the president of the united states in front of a Secret service agent, And their culture made them appear as outsiders. It says your allowed to as long as your not doing it to a other jew, infact you said it your self earlier, I don't see why you changed it now. Yeah being a Tax collector back in the day sucked especially if someone of power owed you, Because half of the time instead of paying you back the huge amount they owed you, They just payed a group of dudes One third of that and had ya killed, Happened in the Medieval times too. Alot of them couldn't take land based jobs because half the time they were being kicked out of the lands they lived, A Jewish farmer couldn't till his land if he was running for his life from the inquistion. This explains how the jews got their money from the christians and such. http://www.jewishhistory.org/the-rothschilds/ Jewish money lending worked as follows. The Count or nobleman of the town would loan money to the Jew, and the Jew in turn would loan money to the non-Jewish peasants. The Jew became the middleman, which was a very dangerous position. The interest rates were usurious in those times – 30% or 40% – so the peasants had a hard time paying anything back. And if the Jew didn’t collect the money, the nobleman would kill him. Therefore, the Jew had to have a large spread in the middle in order to be able to cover his losses and still make a living. P.S. Read that link again, And the romans had Money Changers, Not tax collectors. They converted currency.
Why is everyone saying they believe or don't believe in the bible. Whenever I go to a hotel, I see a bible in a drawer, annd I even see bibles at the dollar store. I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty sure its impossible to not believe in a book that you can probably buy on amazon.
