that, however, I would like to discuss the Jewish mass image. A mass image must always start 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
toward those who did not belong to the Jewish community and faith. Jews looked down on pagans 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
This tremendous gift of the incarnation among the Jewish people was also a test. All gifts are 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
to further perpetuate it and with it the Jewish karma. When any of you work on any 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
seem to bear out the original misconception. The Jewish mass image is: If my parents and forebears 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
denied. Now how does this image work? The Jewish misconception is that Jesus was a false prophet 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
to see that having sent Christ into a Jewish incarnation was God's great act of love for 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
was God's great act of love for His Jewish children. If Christians feel that they must deny 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY

a manifestation of God. Like the submitting Christian, Jews who deny Christ feel immensely threatened about their 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
under discussion. There was a time when the Jews were the only ones who worshipped the Creator 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
not belong to the Jewish community and faith. Jews looked down on pagans as inferior. They saw 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
the eternal now. On the collective level, both Jews and Christians have failed the test. This is 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
the courage to stand up for it. The Jews in power felt threatened -- unjustly so -- 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
it. As time went on, more pagans than Jews turned to Christ. The pagans' attitude to the 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
turned to Christ. The pagans' attitude to the Jews was to a large degree a response to 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
inferiority that was placed on them by the Jews who were supposed to carry God's love and 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
a vicious circle. In the consciousness of the Jews, the pagan and the Christian became one and 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
and the Christian became one and the same. Jews considered both inferior and hostile. The hostility existed 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
of context, as mere happenings, thereby seeing the Jews as victims, you rob yourselves of the vitality 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
they are the victimizers, out to annihilate the Jews. The more firmly this belief was held, the 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
enmity grew in the consciousness of many individual Jews, thereby creating a mass image. The defense against 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
inevitably created more antagonism and actual persecution of Jews. So the misconception created a defense which, in 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
today, at least on the surface, is for Jews to tolerate Christians, and vice versa. Underneath the 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
Jesus was never a dividing force. It was Jews and Christians who in their distortions, created this 247 THE MASS IMAGES OF JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY
