Josh Sofaer: Why Are Jews Hated?

- We invite you to join us for Conversations with Jewish Believers In Jesus, hosted by Jeff Morgan. In this episode Jeff has a timely conversation with Josh Sofaer about why so many people oppose the Jewish people.
Josh Sofaer was raised in San Francisco in a secular, Sephardic Jewish home. His family, like many others in the Bay area, were cause-oriented. That “activist” foundation drew him to Jews for Jesus as a young Jewish follower of Yeshua. Today, Sofaer works as the director of staff development with Jews for Jesus. He has a BA in history from Brooklyn College and a MA and ThM (in process) from Western Seminary. He and his wife have two children, and currently reside in Los Angeles.

I TRUST YOU LORD. Please give me strength to get through this Christmas. I’m holding on and keeping faith. I keep faith even as I constantly struggle to provide for my kids and I constantly struggle to buy groceries. My husband is with you God. At times I feel so alone especially as a single mom. Since suffering a heart attack two years ago and my on going battle with lupus I’m overwhelmed. Both of my sons are autistic. I’m now homeschooling them so my hours to work are limited. Thankfully I have you Lord Jesus. Please continue to give me strength. ❤
Angela, Angela ❤
@@Shofargirl1 exactly!
Please change us, JESUS, from the inside out🙏
I have always loved the Jewish people & always will. My x-husband was Jewish and we had two wonderful children, that I raised in the Christian faith. I tried to witness to my x(who has since passed away) at no avail 😢 But his entire family escaped Iran & reside in Israel & I pray for them daily, without ceasing. May they all come to the knowledge that Jesus is their Messiah🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Amen! ❤
Amen ❤🇮🇱 ❤️🕎 ♥️✡️
Hallelujah Amen!🙌 Yeshua is my Messiah and Savior! 🙌 from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!🙌🇧🇷💚💛💙🇮🇱💪
Jesus is our Lord and saviour. Let's the veil open and see the glory of our God.
1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 NIV
For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at last.
History will always repeat itself. And those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
Acts 7:51-60
Baruch HaShem.
Indeed.
by grace through faith are you saved, not by works, lest, anyone boast. JESUS, the power of GOD, the wisdom of GOD, (and last, but far from least, the LOVE of GOD). In JESUS is neither Jew, nor, Gentile, neither male< or female. And there is so much more in the wonderful WORD of GOD. Love you, Shelly
I highly recommend the book The Separation of Church and Faith: Copernicus and the Jews. Chapter 8 specifically addresses the term “Ioudaioi” which is commonly translated into English as “the Jews.” The fact is that throngs of Jewish people crowded around Yeshua just about everywhere He went. Sometimes He had to sneak away to have some time to rest with His disciples. Sometimes they stayed for days without food supplies to hear what He had to say. Thousands of Jewish people, on foot, in huge, eager crowds, all over Israel, welcoming Yeshua and seeking Him out.
Here is an excerpt from “Copernicus,” as we affectionately call the book mentioned above, pages 101-102:
The word loudaioi appears more than 50 times in John, about four times as often as in all the other gospels combined. If we subtract the references using the phrase "King of the Jews," which was on the cross, loudaioi appears only four times in the first three gospels, but still some 50 times in John. The usages in John are significant not only numerically, but also historically.
For centuries, they have been used to legitimize anti-Jewish feeling, doctrine, and policy in the Church. In furtherance of this purpose, loudaioi is always understood to mean "the Jews," that is, all Jews. That is not, however, the primary way that the gospel of John uses the term. In a further flight of malevolent fantasy, theologians and preachers make it refer to all Jews of all time.
Chapter 8 of “Copernicus” also reproduces all the passages in the Messianic Writings where the word “Ioudaioi” appears.
Everyone interested in the truth of scripture should read this book.
Josh, you mention that your family's history starts in Babylonia. Does that mean you should be allowed to go back and force the people off from what you consider 'your' land, de-humanize, torture and oppress them?
They bought the land. From Arab landowners. Deal with it.
This was a good conversation with Josh about highlighting on the topic antisemitism. I know that the chosen people of God are the Jews and I love and respect them. We need to pray to Jesus who can change the hearts of people who are against Jews. No to antisemitism. I love and stand with Israel. God bless you. ❤🙏👍🇮🇱✝️
Are you familiar with "Tzoah Rotachat" or who is said to be eternally boiling there? Should look into it.
It’s also a spiritual battle. The Jews are God’s chosen people and therefore Satan hates them more than other peoples. We need to pray for the peace and the people of Israel.
I’d like to piggy back off of your comment. I once asked my grandpa Moshe why we were called “the chosen people” and he said that it was NOT because we were chosen for special privileges but because we were chosen to take on extra responsibilities and that The Torah was our spiritual call to responsibility.
Very true
@@MacLevistein "We J--s, we, the destroyers, will remain the destroyers for ever. Nothing that you will do will meet our needs and demands. We will for ever destroy because we need a world of our own, a God-world, which it is not in your nature to build."
- Maurice Samuel, 'You Gentiles'
These must be those "extra responsibilities" that you mention...
obviously there is a spiritual war. God is spirit and satan too is a spirit, an evil spirit
Satan hates christians more than other people too
Amen❣️ 20/20 vision, thank you, Jeff❣️ I will absolutely use this myself, if ever confused. More so, it is a blessing to pass on to others, when they can not see the Lord's context, Amen❣️
After Gaza 2024, jew-hatred needs no explanation.
I see addressing certain aspects deals different results.
The book of Esther has 2 versions: 1st is in Masoretic which does not mention God in any direct way. This is also the most common since the KJV has this Masoretic version. 2nd is in the Septuagint aka, LXX. This version is full of the mentioning of God and is more in detail.
John was a Galilean… he, while still an Israelite, saw himself and his family as distinct from the Israelites who were from Jerusalem in Judea.
I have always loved the Jewish people tho not Jewish myself .
I love Israel and hope to go there one day . I don't understand Anti Semitism and to be honest it sickens me .
I Pray for Israel and for the Jewish people.
Christians should stand with and support Israel because we wouldn't have the word of God
Without them. God bless Israel 🙏✝️and God bless Jews for Jesus. 🇺🇸❤️🇮🇱💙
✡️✝️
people Israel you for you Jesus jewsish for jesus you jews
Me too! ✝️✡️🙏🙏❤️
John's gospel is definitely challenging in that respect but only because we read it with the background of 2,000 years of violent Christian antisemitism behind us. My take is that John, the apostle whom Jesus loved and who stressed love more than any other NT writer, simply wrote "the Jews" as a shortcut for "the Jews who didn't believe in Jesus" and in his day, those unbelieving Jews were persecuting the believing Jews, they were in a position of power not of oppression, hence his seemingly insensitive treatment of Jews, insensitive to our modern ears, but not in John's context. It's very similar to how shocking to us are some of the things Reformers wrote of their adversaries, even of fellow Reformers.
excelent explanation
Very good discussion.
So hated you get offended when someone calls you by what you call yourself.
Prosperity gospel check
Jerk check.
Hate destroy the hater, love builds strength and unity I try not to hate for it effects me more than the hated they could be ignorant of my hate but if that person doesn’t hate it dose not effect them the same.So don’t hate dislike is better I dislike some foods but still eat them if I hated I would not eat.
Very interesting...
Amen.
The problems that Israel has with left and right in politics and religion showed up as hate with the demonstrations in Israel, for some it’s Christian’s Israelis that hate is shown as if religion defines you as a Jew or not it’s birth not religious belief
We being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
aged poorly for the war that just happened
If Satan could have got rid of the Jewish people before Messiah Jesus was born, He couldn't have come the first time.
Jesus is coming back to the Jewish people so If Satan can get rid of them while Jesus is waiting in Heaven to return, He can't come back. Satan knows his end and he'll do everything he can to try to stop it happening.
true but that won't happen cause God is protecting Israel
@@oscaralegre3683 Hallelujah for that! But even though Satan can't win, he won't give up.

"he is cooking in bioling semen" the talmud talking about how jesus will be in hellfire
talmud is not the word of God
One thing that makes Judaism unique is that it is a conflation of ethnicity and religion - on a level that doesn't really exist elsewhere. Another thing that makes them unique, theologically, is that they are God's chosen people. So anti-semitism, theologically speaking, is a form of occult demonism. If God loves the Jewish people, then you know who hates them. Remember always that Jesus was a Jew - all Jews then, are related to Jesus by blood. So, indirectly, anti-semitism is demonic and a form of occultism. So, if you are wrestling with this, please let it go, and remember that Jews are Jesus brothers, sisters, and cousins - family members to Jesus. One important aspect of Christianity is that it made most of the saliently important aspects of Judiaism available to non-jews, along with the offer of salvation.
is not an ethnicity. There jews from Etiopía too
Jews for jesus is a weird name since they killed him
🇮🇱🙏🏻💕
Don't forget the 7th day Sabbath of the lord Jesus KJV. Is FOR ALL HIS PEOPLE. Isaiah56 KJV
Soon FAKE sabbath SUNday law come. Don't be deceive.
Colossians 2:16-17
LET NO MAN therefore JUDGE you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holyday, or of the new moon, or of the SABBATH DAYS: which are a SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME; but the BODY IS OF CHRIST.
The Lord Jesus Christ is our SABBATH. He's our promise and final rest. Don't you be deceived.
Matthew 11:28
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."~ Jesus Christ
Keeping ALL the commandment that was Paul said. And verses 16-17 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in RESPECT of an holyday...Paul RESPECTED the Sabbath, but he do not as Pharisees dose. Don't follow the commandment of men. And Read Matthew 23 about Pharisees.
Colossians 2 context
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Matthew 15King James Version
1 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.@@shirleysaint-remy7115
PROOF THAT THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH WAS NOT REMOVE... TILL heaven and earth PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE SHALL PASS FROM THE LAW
BREAK ONE COMMANDMENTS and TEACH SO... (Matthew 5:13-20 KJV)
Matthew 5:13-20 KJV (summary)
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, TILL heaven and earth PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE shall in no wise PASS from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall BREAK ONE of these LEAST COMMANDMENTS, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
MANY misinterpret the meaning of FULFILL: bring to completion or reality; achieve or realize (something desired, promised, or predicted), carry out (a task, duty, or role) as required, pledged, or expected.
Jesus, because is perfect, he are the perfect sacrifice, to take our place.
Because we ALL sinned. He doesn't remove HIS laws, he pay our finds (death).
If the laws was removed, there would be no transgressions (sins are no more sins).
Jesus said I forgive you sin no more...The commandments are not obsolete.@@shirleysaint-remy7115
What Paul said:
For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Hebrews 4
King James Version
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.@@shirleysaint-remy7115
Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep... A SIGN ...if YOU you are The CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
Exodus 31 King James Version
12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is A SIGN. between me and YOU throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify YOU.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is A SIGN between me and the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL for EVER: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.@@shirleysaint-remy7115
There's something that we all didn't understand or that we missed, that's, Yeshua came to this world to die for the sin of the Human kind, unless he died, we will never be forgiven, he died volueenterly, Nobody forced him to die, he knew that he came to this world to die for the sin of Human beings.
Shouldn't οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι (hoi youdaioi) in John's gospel rather than "the Jews" be rendered "the Judeans", that is the Jewish leaders, especially connected to the Temple and/or having their seat in Jerusalem?
