Why is this not okay?
Will you not go to Heaven despite the beliefs of others?
Hmm.
Okay. Now we have an answer from you. You do indeed have concerns regarding the biblical passage:
----------------------------------------------

> "No one gets to the Father but through me."

> ----------------------------------------------Were you hurt by something someone said?
Did you personally FEEL put down, or were you just concerned that Jews COULD be put down?
I seem to remember an exchange on the Faith forum from years ago where a poster asserted that John 14:6 was the one and only truth and that salvation and Heaven were to be had only by believers in Jesus the Christ. The poster was rather zealous, I thought, but was noble in his effort to help save the world - just as you would claim to be on Psycho-Babble to save lives.
Okay. What is wrong here?
The only person I see potentially arousing feelings of antisemitism here is you. Do you understand why?
The boy who cried wolf over and over again when none existed eventually led people to hold him in low regard and no longer responded to his false warnings. When a real wolf finally appeared, the boy's cries remained ignored and unanswered. The boy was killed and devoured by the wolf.
We should remain vigilant against prejudice and hate.
Have you been the subject of prejudice and hate here on Psycho-Babble? You certainly have been the subject of anger and ridicule. I have not seen prejudice. I see no hate being directed at you as the result of antisemitism. Do you? Can you document incidents of antisemitism directed at you here on Psycho-Babble? I would like to evaluate an original post for myself. Your replies obfuscate the poster's original verbiage.
I no longer consider your complaints regarding a post made many years ago to be relevant. It is unlikely that anyone would ever see it were it not for your efforts to repost it. If that one post is the only one that you feel is motivated by antisemitism, then I consider this to be an indicator of its absence.
