Lou, FWIW, I never have considered it very likely that Jesus was condemning the Jews. Since he was Jewish himself. It would be like me complaining about hypocrites or whatever in my church or in my neighborhood. It wouldn't even occur to me that I was condemning Methodists or Americans because I'm a Methodist American, and many of my friends are Americans and some of them are Methodists. I'd be talking about individual people not races of people.
You know?
While I realize that that realization sometimes gets lost, I don't think Dena is one who loses sight of it.
