OK
Lou has been concerned with posts that he has felt to be antisemitic and have been allowed to stand, in contrast to the threat to block him should he mention what the Rider said to him.
Some of these posts have mentioned or been linked to the following passages
John 5, verse 16:
'the Jews persecuted Him and sought to slay Him'
verse 18:
'The Jews sought more to kill Him'
verse 23
'He that honoureth not the son honoureth not the Father'.The history of Christian antisemitism has been informed by such passages from the Bible. The relationship of such passages to the antisemitism of the Nazi regime is more tenuous, but many Christians, since WWII, have worried that the foundations of their faith may have been a contributing factor to the demonology of the Nazis.
