:Thanks for the sources, Telling; as for "Christian anti-Semitism," my research has indicated that much of the antisemitism in "Christianity" has little to do with a proper understanding of the New Testament and is the result of pagan, occultist, Gnostic influence. Now yes, there's the common "the Jews killed Jesus" argument, which falls flat when one realizes that the Greek term "hoi Ioudaios" does not translate simply to "the Jews" but rather means "the Judeans." For example, in the early Apostolic Era (2nd century), the Apostolic Fathers exemplified religiously motivated anti-Judaism against non-Christian Jews, and were strongly opposed to the highly antisemitic Gnosticism promulgator Marcion. Similarly, it was the apocryphal Epistle of Barnabas that promoted flagrant antisemitism, which the early apostolic church was not so quick to seep into, given the existence of Jewish Christians.

:I've found some clues, though don't feel like I've fully connected the dots yet. For example, it's interesting and probably not too coincidental that the serpent seed theory, almost certainly invented by Gnostics, has been promoted by apostate, pseudochristian white supremacist cults. And yet, the serpent seed theory is blamed as a form of "Christian" antisemitism despite directly contradicting Genesis.

:Since I myself identify as an adherent of Jewish-Christian values (the term "Christian" was never used by the earliest apostolic Jewish church in Jerusalem, which called itself Nazarenes; it was first used in reference to gentile converts) and am a historicist in eschatology, I believe that the final mark of the beast will be a Sunday law; any information you can find on the history of Sunday laws and antisemitism is highly appreciated. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|^{Rev. 22:13}]]''''' Tuesday, 00:12, October 3, 2023 (EDT)
