The Temple may have been central to worship, but it wasn't required. Instead of making me repeat this again, why don't you just read it over and over. Jesus was a Nazarene and a Christian, not a Jew. Jesus hated Jews and their proto-talmudic religion.
Kudzu the Idiot, there's no big words or deep concepts here, but you're just too much of an idiot to get it: Jesus said to the Jews, “If God were your Father, you would love Me..."
There were NO Christians.
A Nazarene was someone who lived in Nazareth at the time of Jesus..
“Jesus of Nazareth” is first used in the Bible by Phillip who, after being called by Jesus to follow Him, told Nathanael, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph" (John 1:45).
All who love God are Christians, because Christ is God, even before Christ came. That's why Jews are children of the Devil.
Yes, Jesus lived in Nazereth before he started his ministry. Jesus wasn't a resident of Judea. Jesus didn't follow the Talmud. Jesus didn't hate himself. Jesus wasn't a Jew.
The Talmud didn't exist in Jesus day.. Jesus followed and taught the Torah.

Kudzu has a pet jew. I know, I know, you think he's your pet.
Kudzu the Idiot, that little barking jew lapdog isn't your pet? Then to whom does it belong?
Have you always been so low class and ignorant?
Kudzu the Idiot still can't understand: Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me..."
I know he wasn't speaking to ALL Jews. He preached to the Jews and by all accounts he had a large following who thought highly of him.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me..." Your reply is there were Jews who thought highly of Jesus. Maybe 2000 years ago a different kind of Jew thought highly of Jesus. They're of no relevancy.
To take the words out of context is disgusting for someone who calls themselves "Christian".
"The Gospel of John is, in some ways, the most Jewish of the gospels. And at the same time, it is the one that displays some of the most polemical lines," says Attridge. "Those who cite John, saying that 'Jews are children of the devil,' ignore statements in John, like 'Salvation comes from the Jews.'"
Those that utilize John 8:44 for anti-Semitic purposes are also likely overlooking the fact that Jesus himself was a Jew. And while we may never know the precise identity of the author of the Gospel of John, he is most often identified as John, the son of Zebedee, who is a Jew, as well.
"All of the immediate followers of Jesus were Jews," explains Attridge. "And one of the major controversies in the first generation after the death of Jesus was whether non-Jews could even be part of the movement."
Still – despite the fact that Jesus was himself a member of the Jewish people – there are many examples throughout history of passages in the New Testament being wielded for anti-Semitic purposes.

There are numerous examples of Bible verses which have been used through the course of history to justify the institution of slavery, with all its racial connotations in this country, and that are still being heralded by white supremacists today. First Corinthians 7:21, First Timothy, Second Timothy, Ephesians, Colossians, an entire letter that Paul writes about a fugitive slave... the list goes on and on, with several biblical examples in which the same advice is given to slaves: "Obey your masters."
"They are there in the Bible and we now recognize that they are not moral guides to what we should do or be," explains Attridge. "But you know, 150 years ago, people were quoting the Bible to support the institution of slavery. That heritage has lasted in terms of some of the racialism we see on the streets today."
In addition, some of those who condemn homosexuality point to biblical passages like Leviticus and Romans 1:24-27 as proof that the Bible agrees. But in this case, too, Attridge argues that these passages are being taken out of their proper historical context.
"Paul talks about men having sexual relations with men and women exchanging the natural for the unnatural," says Attridge. "They're probably reacting not in general to homosexual activity, but to specifically the forms it was taking in the Greco-Roman world, reacting to the ways in which people were exploiting people of the same sex, as well as people of other sexes, for various personal reasons. This has to be, I think, understood in the same way as a lot of stuff in the Bible that simply reflects the cultural assumptions of the period, which have long since proven to be problematic – that the world is flat, that lending money at interest is evil, etc.
"Lots of things in the Bible that were assumed to be correct at the time without a careful analysis, human experience has corrected over the course of the last couple millennia," he said.
So, as the world reels from yet another hate crime at the hands of a man justifying his actions with a misinterpreted biblical verse, scholars are emphasizing the importance of understanding the full context and deeper meaning of the text.

If salvation is from the Jews, are you going to curse Jesus to boiling excrement and become a Jew?
Satanists who quote "salvation come from the Jews" ignore statements like Jews are children of the devil. In Christian theology, Christians are the true Jews, and are counted as the children of Abraham. When Jesus said salvation is form the the Jews, he means the religion of pre-messianic Christianity of that day was the true religion. The Jesus said those who say they are Jews are really of the synagogue of Satan, which you'll ignore.
Kudzu, after you curse Jesus to boiling excrement, are you going to find a teenager to sodomize?
