Sandraee,
Do you mean that someone can make an anti-Semitic statement and claim that it is OK to do so because the new testamant says it? In this case, it is saying that the jesus that Kiddo is talking about says that all the religious leaders of the jews in ancient Israel were hypocrites and also, they attributed the casting out of devils by the jesus that Kiddo is referring to to the power of Beelzabub. Kiddo somehow implies in that post , by tying it in with the jewish leaders, the pharisees, to be some kind of implied condemnation to the pharisees, to me, for , and Dr. Bob agrees,Kiddo is saing that they are on the "wrong road" because ,since they attribute the casting out of devils by this jesus to Beelzabub, then they are denying his claim to be from God and hense can not be on the right road.
Now the anti-Semitic rhetoric in history uses those type of statements in arousing hatred toward te jewish people. Queen Isabella and king Fernand issued an edict that all jews be expelled from Spain in 1492 that uses similar rhetoric. If you read it, it will shock you. It is my position to fight any mention of any rhetoric that charactorises jews in any defaming light, even if a person's jesus says it in their bible. That, to me, does not make it ligitamate to say it here. or anyware else.
