Comparison of Anit-Judaism in Old/New Christianities

"Christianity" has never hated the Jews, but has loved them. Many, in the name of Christianity, organized (Orthodox, Catholic, as well as others) and unorganized have practiced hatred of the Jews, not because of Christianity but due to our (human) sinful nature. Christianity, real Christianity, is to love people to Christ. Not hate them. Paul instructs us to "love those that hate you. Pray for them that persecute you." Jesus said we were to "love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind. And, to love our brothers as ourselves." Over, and over in the new testament we are told to love. We are to hate evil. Not people. I am a Christian that loves the Jew and find myself always praying for them. I pray for the peace of your land and country. I also pray that you will be a remant, as your scripture speaks of, that comes to know the Christ as your savior. So, old or new Christianities... Paul said, "if anybody preaches any other Gospel than we have heard..." from him, let him be accursed. Real Christianity, apart from real sin, and other than the way we dress, should be pretty much the same regardless of era - In love with God and all others.
