Given that it's BRTD and there've been instances in which you've been so pro-Christian you're anti-Semitic, or at least don't understand how certain things can be construed as anti-Semitic, yeah, sure.

Exactly what LLR says. I'd usually probably say no (and who care) because it's too vague/sage to be anti-Semitic, Jews aren't explicitly mentioned, and the idea that people in Jesus' time were sinful and that it was wrong for them not to accept him as the Messiah isn't necessarily anti-Semitic. But since this is BRTD, yes, I'll say it probably is.

I asked because some people here consider Christian rhetoric against legalism and all that anti-Semitic.

Who said that BRTD? Not skeptical, just curious who.

I said it was often anti-Semitic, not always or inherently.

To answer BRTD's question: My former pastor actually touched on this question in his thesis on Covenant theology. He suggested that almost by definition, Evangelical rhetoric will be at least somewhat anti-Judaic*, or at least anti-Judaism as it exists today.

Judaism did not exist in a vacuum. Christianity more or less hacked off an entire wing of Judaism within a few generations, which combined with the destruction of the temple changed the Jewish religion forever. Judaism therefore became more Pharisaical, and so that sort of argument would almost have to apply to Judaism.

*The correct term IMO, since there is no racial aspect to these criticisms.

God does not hold Hillary Clinton dear, least not any dearer than any other human being. I'm sure American elections are the peak of concern...

The idea that Trump is more 'legalistic' or ran a more 'legalistic' campaign than Clinton is ridiculous.

Not sure about those lyrics, but I don't think criticism of Judaism as a religion is antisemitic, as long as you aren't dismissing anyone who follows it.
