The document discusses how antisemitism became embedded in early Christianity through the New Testament and church fathers, and was perpetuated for centuries. It analyzes the underlying causes including Hellenism dividing Jewish culture, Roman conquest isolating traditional Jews, and the rapid Hellenization of the Jesus movement separating Christianity from Judaism. Gentile Christians took it upon themselves to redefine Jewish scriptures and traditions in an antisemitic way. This contributed to ongoing demonization of and violence against Jews throughout history.

CHRISTIANITY IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Abstract
A brief survey of events and occurrences from the first century to the present day. This survey outlines the background for understanding the complex questions in relation to the presence of Christians and their relationship with the other religions in the Middle East at the present time.
Christianity in the Middle East
Background
Christianity has been a considerably dominant religious force over the past centuries. A lot of theories have been surrounded with a lot of myths in the society with various other religious societies such as the Hindu community having various ways of thinking and regards towards Christians. Expansion of Christianity into communities of other beliefs has been eminent even with the fact that it has been compounded with several issues.
In the Middle East for example, questions have been raised about Christians and their religion. Being a Muslim dominated region it is hard for Christians considering the various radical beliefs entailed in Muslim culture (Chapman, 2012). The situation for Christians in these regions is a complex one and it is hard for students to make it in these regions. Various irritating questions have been asked of Christians and in this case the questions are normally very complex in nature in such a manner that some are forced to keep to themselves or reduce their exposure to the people of the other religious beliefs.
With a total of around 15 million Christians in the Middle East –Arab Christians. These arab Christians claim to be in the bible in the sense that they are mentioned as “ God fearing Jews from every nation under Heaven “ regarded to have been present in Jerusalem on the historic day in relation to the bible mentioning. These kind of people are known to be happy and confident about their long presence within the region for over 2000 years.
History
The Christians in Iraq look back at the golden age of considered for the Eastern churches around the 5th and the 12th century where the gospel was focused and spread to India and Chinese countries, the Christians then made enormous contributions to the Islamic civilization (Chapman, 2012).With the Christians based in Lebanon considering themselves to be the descendants to Phoenicians and their continued confidence that they have been based in the region from the early Christian times. The Christians in current Egypt in a similar manner, also consider themselves to be the descendants of the ancient Egypt and therefore consider the Arab Muslims who overcame them around the 7th century as the foreign invaders.
Christians in the current state in the Middle East can only look back at the comfortable life of the Christians in the region before (Iwuchukwu, Mariners, Siltner, 2013). At the moment, the situation is far m ...

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Renewed in Grace
2. Underlying Causes
2nd C. BCE Hellenism and Assimilation
Samaritans deny ‘Jewish’ connection
The War of Rome against the Jewish people
1st Century
Greek speaking Jews in Pharisaic/Rabbinic
Judea, etc and Jews
Diaspora
vs
.
Zealots,Essenes
Hellenized followers of
Jesus
3. Underlying causes:
The conquest of the Holy Land by Alexander the Great introduced
Hellenism to the Hebrews. Substantial numbers accepted Greek
language and culture and thereby create deep divisions in Jewish life
and culture. Persecution under Antiochus IV. Epiphanes deepens the
division, but Hebraists are victorious and Jerusalem Temple is
rededicated.
Roman conquest of Judea further isolates the Hebraists from the
secularists.
Resistance by Nationalists to Romanization favoured by Hellenists
Rapid Hellenization of the Jesus movement separates the church
from Judaism with a growth in anti-Jewish polemics from the
Church Fathers
4. Gentile Presumptions:
Temple destruction consequence of failure to
acknowledge Jesus as Messiah
Non-Jewish Christians take it upon themselves to
exegete Jewish Scriptures and define Jewish
traditions
5. GENTILE PRESUMPTION
CONT’D
Synoptic Gospels: John‟s Gospel: Jesus
Present a Jesus who is becomes generic and
Jewish enemy of the Jews
Opinion forming, distorting Narratives
Jews are faithless; have Roman Centurion calls
difficulty accepting Jesus‟ Jesus Lord; has faith (Matt.
8:5-8; 13)
mission
Jews are blind to Jesus Roman Centurion „sees‟!
(Matt.27:54; Mk.15:39; Lk.23:47)
Jews antagonistic Roman Graciousness;
“OTHER”, violent, mob kindness; (Acts 23)
mentality
Embodiment of
evil, bloodthirsty
Jews “sons of the devil”
6. Gentile Presumption cont’d.
The 4 Pillars of Judaism
Replaced by Christianity
Monotheism Divinity of Jesus
Election Gentiles
Land Focused Stephen’s Idea of
in the Temple the Temple within
Covenant Paul and the ‘Law’
Focused in the
Torah
7. Contributing factors: 1st to 4th
cent. C.E.
Hellenized, Greek speaking Jews in Jerusalem, Judea
The Zealots and various pro-temple factions
Hellenized followers of Jesus
Marcion and his Anti-Jewish New Testament
The early Church Fathers
Constantine bans Jewish festivals, the Sabbath and
circumcision
8. Contributing factors: 5th to 20th cent.
C.E.
The New Testament
The post-Nicene Church Fathers
Ethos of demonization
The Inquisition
Martin Luther
The 1611 King James Bible
9. Fig. 1 A map as published in the Revised Standard Version of
the Bible; publ. 1952 – the name Palestine (Palaestina) did not
come into being until more than 100 years AFTER Jesus
10. Contributing factors: 5th to 20th cent. C.E.
Ongoing Allegorization of the Hebrew Bible (O.T.)
Palestinianism and denial of a physical restoration
11. Common Christian Conclusions
Loss of Temple
Loss of God’s
Loss of =
Priesthood Favour
Loss of Sacrifice
...therefore:
No Temple, no priesthood, no
sacrifice, NO GOD
ERROR: Church is the New Israel and
Modern Israel is illegitimate
12. SUMMARY:
Early Christianity had a major influence in
forming the Gentile world’s opinion concerning
the Jewish people.
The compilers of the New Testament used anti-
Jewish language to perpetuate the problem
The church promoted active Jew hatred
through blood libel and the Inquisition that
lasted over 600 years.
