That would be me, and no there is no anti-semitism on the forum.
None.

Just because someone does not agree with what Jews believe, it does not
make them anti-semitic. Anymore than me not agreeing with Christians
makes me "anti-Christian".

Not sure who is suggesting the forum is anti-semitic, but whoever you
are-you are WRONG. And if you think the forum is anti-semitic-you
don't know what the word means.

Thanx, SheitlQueen

I think it's hard for people to comprehend sometimes that presenting the facts does not make one anti a person or a group of people. As we have agreed on this forum, Christianity and Judaism are two different religions. It's when people try to blend the lines that problems erupt. I think I can speak for most everyone here, that we really appreciate your "latitude" and understanding that when we present information about Judaism, in light of the NT, that it is not a slam against the Jews, but showing the differences in what we believe. It is not meant as a judgment against anyone.

Sometimes it appears that we get what people refer to as "snarky", but our intent is not to be rude, and we really apologize for coming off so harsh at times. Thank you for bearing with us

We all need reminders every day that we need to keep our focus on being positive and kind, and for those of us that profess to be followers of Christ, that means we must exude His likeness, love, and mercy at all times

We have had some posters here that have exuded much patience and have always posted in the kindest most effective way. So kudos to you

SheitlQueen, Mary, and YYZ!!!!
