Bret responds,

Sure … as long as we also don’t stubbornly refuse to acknowledge the uncanny number of of Bagels who have persecuted and killed Christians throughout the ages and who have been a remarkable evil unto the human race

TS writes,

2. It is anti-semitic to consider the Bagels as a race to be uniquely malevolent, that is, uniquely responsible for the evils done in the world.

Bret responds,

So we are supposed to acknowledge the remarkable good Bagels have done for the human race but we are not supposed to read history and note how Bagels are uniquely malevolent and uniquely responsible for many many evils done in the world.

Kind of like genociding Palestinians in Gaza?

TS writes,

3. It is anti-semitic to refuse to allow Jews the basic human right of self-preservation, self-determination as a people and a nation, and the right of self-defense.

Bret responds,

What was it called when the West and Bagels refused to allow the Palestinian people the basic human right of self-preservation, self-determination as a people and a nation and the right of self-defense?

See the books by Steven Sizer and Allison Weir.

Does Old Toby even know about the Deir Yassin Massacre (April 1948)? Or the other various massacres by the IDF visited upon the Palestinian people?

TS writes,

4. It is anti-semitic to refuse to acknowledge certain social, cultural, and political commonalities that will often exist between Bagels and Christians who take the Old Testament seriously.

Bret responds,

LOL … what Bagels take the OT seriously Toby? Didn’t Jesus Himself make the point that the Bagels did not take the OT seriously? Toby… have you ever heard of the Talmud? Ever read any of it? Have you heard of the Kabbalah Toby? What universe are you occupying Toby?

TS writes,

5. It is anti-semitic to refuse any assistance or alliance with Israel in those areas of common conviction solely based on the fact that they are Bagels.

Bret responds,

BUT it is not anti-Semitic to refuse any assistance or alliance with Israel in those areas of common conviction unless they quit impoverishing us as a nation.

Toby writes,

6. It is anti-semitic to refuse to acknowledge that Bagels are in any way uniquely poised to receive the gospel because of their Old Testament heritage or as “natural branches” cut off from the Old Covenant that may be more easily grafted back into the New Covenant in Christ.

Bret responds,

Misinterpretation of Romans 11 which was fulfilled by AD 70. Romans 11 was future to those who received the letter at the time but it is past to us.

I refuse to acknowledge that Bagels are in any way uniquely poised to receive the gospel because of their OT heritage or their being “natural branches.”

In point of fact the Scripture is clear that God has divorced National Israel and while individual Bagels may indeed be redeemed, Israel as a nation has been cut off never to produce fruit again. Israel was cursed for rejecting their Messiah and had until AD 70 before the divorce papers were served to the nation of Israel.

Toby Sumpter, following Doug Wilson has no idea what Anti-Semitism is or is not.

One can disagree with all these points Toby made and still not be an Anti-Semite.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.
