So what did Jesus think about the Judaic religion? (Jews)
I hear people all the time attempt to offer the lame excuse that “Jesus was only talking to the Pharisees, Sadducee’s and Scribe’s” But when is the last time you walked into any church, and the reason people were sitting in the pews was because they DISAGREED with the pastor? No, Jesus’s disdain was for ALL members of a defunct religion that rejected their own Messiah. “How many times I would have gathered you under my wing” God sorrowfully recalls of many times in the scripture, referring to those clinging to a rejection of the Christ. Mainly because he didn’t come in the way they envisioned… a warrior deity, killing all but the Hebrews from earth.
Never let what others paraphrase as to what the scripture says as your acceptance of truth… even myself or preachers. ALWAYS read it from the Bible for yourself! This is a simple task in todays digital age, with many places offering Bible phone apps. My go-to is Biblehub, but too many people view learning the Bible as an insurmountable endeavor… don’t be intimidated by all the “thee’s” and “thou’s”… they talked funny back then, so what? As an American I have to adapt to lingo and slang from all sorts of cultures… once you get the gist of “baby daddy” meaning the child’s father, you can build on that syntax… the same is true of the scripture.
Read for yourself the opinion of Jesus concerning the Judaic religion in whole. There are many other descriptors and references in the Bible… and that was simply Orthodox Judaism… imagine Jesus’s opinion on today’s “Zionism”
This is also found again in the gospel of Luke, chapter 11
