I cover the most recent three articles I have up at boodandfaith.com, which covers the anti-Christ concept of “Judeo-Christian,” a mortgage as a form of indentured servitude, the willingness of humans to live under totalitarian governments, and the origin of the Anti-White intellectual movement.

There is a fashion in Christian circles to attributes to “Jews” the status of being “God’s chosen people.” This has not always been the case — it seems to have emerged fairly recently in the West, perhaps out of a false sense of guilt drummed up by those who lay the burden of Hitler’s persecution upon the Christian Church. Europeans, and Christians, seem particularly susceptible to guilt manipulation.
Admitting from the start that the identity of a Jew is not easy to determine, other than to say that if they consider themselves to be Jew and reject Jesus Christ, then I would not argue that. And if Jesus Christ and the Bible calls them Jews, then that is a proper guide as well.
Certainly at once point it was reasonable to conclude that a Jew was a descendant of Judah (hence, Jew; just as a Hebrew was a descendant of Eber).
In order to address this notion of Jews as “God’s chosen people,” the only place to turn to is the Bible, since, presumably, those Christians (and Jews) who make such arguments gather their inspiration from the Scriptures.
This should be a simple task, but has proven problematic since Christians (whom presumably cling to Christ for Salvation) apparently don’t think Christ is necessary for the Salvation of Jews. After all, the central tenet of faith in Jesus Christ is that He alone is the propitiation for our sins, and that salvation comes only by Him..
How are Jews exempt from this? (I ask this not of the Jew, but of the Christian.) Have Christians betrayed Christ by elevating a people, whose identity is based upon the rejection of Jesus Christ, to a status unmerited? That seems to be the case and this article addresses this notion. …
