Thank you for sharing.

I’m a bit confused about a couple things you wrote:

" In the Jewish tradition, the Gentiles were regarded as an inferior race who were unworthy of God’s salvation. The scripture records several instances of humiliating racial discrimination against the Gentiles by the Jews."

Could you elaborate on each of these? I am not familiar with these ideas (I think).
I don’t know exactly what you’re getting at here.

For example, I think it says in Genesis that all nations would be blessed through Abraham.

And, I am really confused about scripture showing racial discrimination by the Jews.

Thanks, again.

Hrm it’s supposed to let you comment with either facebook or ‘blogger’. I need to find a way to let ‘guests’ comment then. I was unaware they couldn’t.

I will just give you an instance, when the Pagan converts (gentiles) wanted to be part of the New Church (Christianity) the Jews discriminated against them and even asked them to be circumcised. I do not mean that the scripture supported racial discrimination but that we can find elements of racial discrimination in the stories the scripture relates. Will give you further instances if you need them.
