175:2.1 The [[fact]] that the [[spiritual]] [[leaders]] and the [[religious]] [[teachers]] of the [[Jewish]] [[nation]] onetime [[rejected]] the teachings of [[Jesus]] and [[conspired]] to bring about his [[cruel]] [[death]], does not in any [[manner]] [[affect]] the [[status]] of any [[individual]] Jew in his standing before [[God]]. And it should not [[cause]] those who profess to be followers of the [[Christ]] to be [[prejudiced]] against the [[Jew]] as a fellow [[mortal]]. The Jews, as a [[nation]], as a sociopolitical [[group]], paid in full the terrible price of [[rejecting]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.9 Prince of Peace]. Long since they ceased to be the [[spiritual]] [[Avant-garde|torchbearers]] of [[divine]] [[truth]] to the [[races]] of [[mankind]], but this constitutes no valid [[reason]] why the [[individual]] descendants of these long-ago Jews should be made to [[suffer]] the [[persecutions]] which have been visited upon them by intolerant, unworthy, and [[bigoted]] professed followers of [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]], who was, himself, a Jew by [[natural]] [[birth]].
175:2.2 Many times has this unreasoning and un-Christlike [[hatred]] and [[persecution]] of [[modern]] [[Jews]] terminated in the [[suffering]] and [[death]] of some [[innocent]] and unoffending Jewish [[individual]] whose very [[ancestors]], in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_century times] of [[Jesus]], heartily [[accepted]] his [[gospel]] and presently died unflinchingly for that [[truth]] which they so wholeheartedly believed. What a shudder of [[horror]] passes over the onlooking [[celestial]] [[beings]] as they behold the professed followers of [[Jesus]] indulge themselves in [[persecuting]], harassing, and even [[murdering]] the later-day [[descendants]] of [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], [[Matthew, the Apostle|Matthew]], and others of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Jews Palestinian Jews] who so [[gloriously]] yielded up their lives as the first [[martyrs]] of the [[gospel]] of [[the Kingdom|the heavenly kingdom]]!
175:2.3 How [[cruel]] and unreasoning to [[compel]] [[innocent]] [[children]] to [[suffer]] for the [[sins]] of their [[progenitors]], misdeeds of which they are wholly [[ignorant]], and for which they could in no way be [[responsible]]! And to do such [[wicked]] [[deeds]] in the name of one who taught his [[disciples]] to [[love]] even their [[enemies]]! It has become [[necessary]], in this [[recital]] of the life of [[Jesus]], to portray the [[manner]] in which certain of his fellow [[Jews]] [[rejected]] him and [[conspired]] to bring about his ignominious [[death]]; but we would [[warn]] all who [[read]] this [[narrative]] that the presentation of such a [[historical]] recital in no way [[justifies]] the unjust [[hatred]], nor condones the unfair [[attitude]] of [[mind]], which so many professed [[Christians]] have maintained toward [[individual]] [[Jews]] for many centuries. [[the Kingdom|Kingdom]] [[believers]], those who follow the [[teachings]] of [[Jesus]], must cease to mistreat the [[individual]] Jew as one who is [[guilty]] of the [[rejection]] and [[crucifixion]] of [[Jesus]]. [[The Father]] and his [[Creator Son]] have never ceased to [[love]] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews]. [[God]] is no respecter of [[persons]], and [[salvation]] is for the [[Jew]] as well as for the [[gentile]].
