What a True Jew Should Be

God sent the ancient Hebrews, to conquer territory in Palestine, so that they could have a base from which to carry on with more peaceful activities, such as the education of the Gentiles, in the future. God's intent from the beginning was to use the Hebrews as teachers to promote virtue in the world so that less people would go to hell and so that the lives of the people of the world psychologically, emotionally, and mentally speaking would improve.

The man who is a true Jew, is interested in spreading Judaic thought word and action in the world, through the teaching of wisdom to the Gentiles; he realizes that a state of enmity with the Gentiles is not conducive to the successful impartation of wisdom to the Gentiles.

The true Jew appreciates the teachings that have been given him, and realizes that despite whatever respectable ancestors he may have, what gives him true pleasure in life, and pleasure as opposed to pain in the afterlife, is not the fact that say 7% of his ancestry is from some especially respectable family, but rather his conforming himself to the wise teachings in Judaism.

Hence the true Jew realizes that Gentiles who are taught and receive the Judaic wisdom, can become as valuable and respectable and internally happy in an honorable way, as he himself is. The true Jew sees that his ancestry is just as much from those the ancient Hebrews killed during the invasion of Canaan, as it is from the ancient Hebrews who invaded Canaan; thus he sees how rejecting the new modern reformed Judaism of the prophet known as Christ, is a form of rejection of the self, because Christ's Judaism is inclusive even with the persons whom the ancient Hebrews fought against and invaded.

Thus the true Jew' ambition is to promote the love of God, and the love of the relatively honorable persons in the world. His ambition is to in the world suppress the wrongful use of the name of God, the taking the name of the Lord in vain. His ambition is to promote the practice of on a regular basis resting from work, because too much work, too much of the cares of the world, interferes with knowing God. His ambition in the world is to suppress and reduce the incidence of unjustified homicides, thefts, and slanders. His ambition in the world is to reduce the incidence of sexual passion that is misplaced in terms of the object of passion. His ambition is to reduce the mental illness wherein persons are filled with a desire to take ownership of things away from others so that they may own those things themselves. His ambition is to promote the thoughts words and actions which result in mankind's love of God becoming stronger.

The true Jew understands how his ambition to promote Judaic virtues in the world, will succeed only through the promotion of the new modernized reformed branch of Judaism that is centered on the prophet known as Christ. The true Jew cannot ignore how the Old Testament is superior to the Talmud, he cannot ignore how absurd, silly and insane many passages of the Talmud are. The true Jew does not follow the Talmud when the Talmud promotes racist arrogant contempt for Gentiles, and malicious criminal acts perpetrated against Gentiles.

Throughout history, every nation has always looked upon some battles fought in the past which preserved the nation, as sacred battles. Nevertheless, throughout history most nations have never adopted an attitude of constant warlike contempt for all foreigners.

Yet somehow Jews, despite their intellectual talent and thoughtfulness, have developed perpetual enmity for all non-Jews, and worship as a superhero, the barking raging, suicide-and-killing promoting, Hebrew drill sergeant of the invasion of Canaan of three thousand years ago, replete with hairy chest, bulging biceps, and a healthy hatred for the Gentiles, whom he loves to stab and shoot arrows into.

By way of contrast, nations that in some ways are less talented than the Jews, have understood what a child can understand, which is that although sometimes the people of a nation do God's will be invading another nation, this does not mean that the nation should be in a state of perpetual enmity with foreigners. They understand this the same way children understand that although sometimes the proper thing to do is to fight back against the bully in the schoolyard, this does not mean one should constantly be an enemy to every child in town.

How Should the 'Princes of Israel' Behave?

Apparently, an important topic should be, how should the Jewish ancestry men who have attained to the uppermost level in terms of wealth and power, behave with regards to their family, their ethnic group, their nation, their world? This because such men not only have been very powerful, their dominance seems to be increasing.

For now I shall refer to such men as the 'Princes of Israel'. Scripture also sometimes refers to 'the Princes of Israel', sometimes praising and other times despising them.

These 'Princes of Israel', are concerned with regards to their families. They are from the scriptural viewpoint correct in being concerned with regards to their families. Nevertheless, they could be making too big a deal out of their families, and slash or, they could be pushing policies that are not optimal with regards to their families and those who will survive them after they die.

According to scripture, the rich men find salvation through conscientous benevolent intent action with regards to their family and also persons outside their family, not just their family. Scripture does not say that rich men enter heaven by doing a good job providing for their families. Scripture says rich men enter heaven by doing a good job in general.

If the 'Princes of Israel' in their obsession with power and attaining to the state of being the world's rulers, in the process create a hellish world for their grandchildren to live in, then they have not engaged in optimal conduct with regards to benevolent intent conduct with regards to their families.

Ultimately, when there are various alternatives, there exists a certain level of doubt and mystery, with regards to which of the alternatives should be implemented. Scripture declares that the Lord hates "the heart that deviseth wicked imaginations". The meaning of this is, that for example it is wicked to imagine that the sky will fall down if you do not viciously abuse your innocent family. Similarly it is wicked to imagine that things will go better for you and your family now and in the future, if you persecute Christianity.

Even if a majority of Christians misinterpret and misbehave, the persecution of Christianity oppresses a religion featuring humanitarian ethics and wise advice with regards to how one's inner mental processes should function.

The ancient Jewish scriptures prophesied that the day would come, when the gentiles would become like the Israelites who managed to avoid damnation. How then can it be said, that Gentiles are subhuman?

The proper attitude for the 'Princes of Israel', is one of a sense of camaraderie and brotherhood with regards to the Israelites of old, who were wise saintly heroic Jewish Christians, and also with regards to their descendants, who are found in the gentile populations. One could say, yea, the Jew has the advantage of having more Israelite blood than the Gentile; one could also say, but the descendants of the best of ancient Israel are found amongst the Gentiles.

Nobody knows for sure what the future will bring; scripture says that prophesies shall pass away; we are uncertain regarding what is true prophesy and what is not; we are uncertain regarding how prophesies should be interpreted. The 'Princes of Israel' could in this atmosphere of uncertainty imagine that: if they were to change their ways and become good Christians, they will lose their power, and then people will take revenge on them, result being that they and their families are murdered by enraged vengeance-crazed cruel executioners. On the other hand they could imagine that if they were to change their ways and refrain from evils such as antichristian conduct and racist arrogance, the future outlook for them and their families will improve. Of these two the first attitude is erroneous; the latter mindset is the virtuous mindset.

Generally speaking, beyond the subgroup that is the 'Princes of Israel' there exist the people of the world in general. Amongst the people of the world you find those who have done bad things. After they have done the bad things, they can choose between believing that they should behave even more badly, so as to avoid horrible outcomes for themselves and their families. Or they can choose a change of heart and a mending of ways, believing that the latter will produce better results for themselves and their families.

Those who have spent significant time and energy thinking about God scripture and ethics would agree that the proper choice amongst these two alternatives for them, is to change the heart and mend the ways, while at the same time trusting in almighty God and praying that things proceed on earth according to God's will and praying that God would mercifully intervene in their lives.
