Welcome to Douglas Wilson's The Plodcast, presented by Canon Press. Yes God.

God don't never change.

Welcome to the

the podcast this is episode 233 I'm Douglas Wilson and I'm glad you decided to

join us like I said just in case you turned off in the wrong exit, this is the

podcast. So I want to, I'm sure I've talked about this before, but I want to talk

about it again because I think it's a perennial issue it's going to keep coming up if we

Christians don't learn to think about it properly.

I want to talk about anti-Semitism.

I want to talk about anti-Semitism and I want to talk about anti-Semitism and I this this go around I want to begin with my basic argument on my basic argument against the anti-Semitic impulse.

I have a hard time, I admittedly a hard time, but I don't think this is a prejudice or a bigoted reaction at all

so when I see people talking about the Jews in a snarky and critical way, it is impossible for me as a pastor to not hear the crackle of envy in this. Now in order to believe that the Jews are you know the

international conspirators who are wrecking everything, destroying civilization, bringing us all down, doing

awful things.

You basically, it's one thing to say I've identified these people as my enemy.

I love my enemy but I'm going to oppose them as opposed to the the kind of envious crackle that I see,

and it's not a matter of detecting minor traces of it, it's just all over.

And I think this is about the most anti-gospal frame of mind possible for this reason.

In Romans, the Apostle Paul says that his strategy is I'll just collapse down to a sort of a condensed

version of what I think the Pauline strategy is.

The Apostle Paul is interested in establishing and building

the new Israel, the new Israel of God.
