I have chosen as my letter to you, the words of one of your own, because you will take note:
Rev. John T. Pawlikowski, OSM, Ph.D. Professor of Social Ethics, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago Chair, Committee on Church Relations and the Holocaust, United States Holocaust Memorial Council, says, inter alia,
[…] In several places John' s gospel associates "the Jews" with darkness and with the devil. This laid the groundwork for centuries of Christian characterization of Jews as agents of the devil, a characterization which found its way into medieval popular religion and eventually into passion plays.
In the second century and beyond, many of the principal Fathers of the Church began to write of Jews as a "rejected people" who were doomed to a life of marginality and misery. Jews were to wander the world as a "despised people." […] While some Popes, bishops and Christian princes stepped up to protect Jews, they were clearly a minority. […]
When the Nazis came on the scene […] It led some Christians to embrace the Nazi ideology and many others to stand on the sidelines as masses of Jews were exterminated.
[…] Knowledge of this history of antisemitism within the Christian churches is indispensable for any full understanding of the Holocaust.

That was the history of your so-called church. That now you apologize is a bit rich - what were you believing all that time?
Perhaps the Bible?
And now the Bible:
1Th:2:14: For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
1Th:2:15: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
1Th:2:16: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
So, even after Christ’s request for forgiveness, (and do we know if this prayer were granted?) the Jews continued to persecute Christians and must, therefore have condemned many souls to Hell because they were unable to hear the word of Our Lord. They did not accept Christ and prevented others from doing so, and indeed would continue to do so.
Doubtless you leave this bit out from your so-called Bible - I don't know, I couldn't bear to read the twisted words in the blasphemous rubbish therein.
Does this answer your question? If you have further spiritual doubts, remember, we at Landover are always here to help in whatever small way we can.
