Would Jesus be considered anti-Semitic among Christians today?

Here is what Jesus told the religous leaders when they tried to convince Him of their godly state. If something like this was said today Christians would be all over the person that said it. Why ?

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it" (John 8:44).

Update:

NOTE: I am not addressing all Jews with this statement neither. Just those who have refused to accept the Son of God.

Update 2:

skepsis: OuCh ! you hit a nerve with that one. No doubt, we need a Revival....

    Most people (fools) have the idea that Jesus went around supporting conservatice values ---BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLSHIP! he did.

    He did not support the evil status quo -- either in the Temple or the community. His taking a whip to the money-changers in the Temple is more than just beating the sh*t out of a pack of scumbags. It signifies that a love of money will always be in greater preference by humanity than a love of God.

    When Jesus administered to the hookers and thieves instead of the bigshots, IT WAS NOT BECAUSE THE RICH, SOCIAL ELITE, AND TEMPLE ELITE DID NOT NEED SALVATION. THE RICH, SOCIAL ELITE, AND TEMPLE ELITE BEING TOTALLY DEVOID OF ANYTHING RESEMBLING SOULS DUE TO LOVE OF MONEY AND FAME, WERE TOTALLY BEYOND ANY SORT OF SALVATION. After all, you can't save something that never existed in the first place, can you?

    One of the OT books advises that those who love money hate God in no uncertain terms whatsoever.

    No, that is not an anitsemetic comment. Jesus was a Jew, and Jews that believe in Jesus will go to heaven with the rest of us. In the end times, these will be the "remnant."

    Jesus was not only a Jew, He was the King of the Jews- as well as the King of the entire universe. His rebuke was at the religious leaders of that day for their hypocrisy, a sin which God hates vehemently.

    Jesus Christ is addressing all people that refuse to worship and obey God.

    No, because He wasn't addressing all Jews with this statement.

  • 1 decade ago

    Didn't anyone tell you? Jesus was a Jew. So He couldn't be anti-Semetic.

    Something tells me he'd be more anti-Christian. It's not about the faith, it's the authoritarianism and injustice.

    more likely he would be called a "judaizer" and run out of town
