they see things, according to mr hagopian, in an exclusively christian prism, focusing on christian persecution, of course, that many other groups, muslims, yazidis, many others, are also facing persecution across the middle east region. he says, "let's remember that." do you remember that? well, speaking of my experience, the people that i've dealt with, like, people like ac and bishop conferences, knights of columbus, all the people who have helped me, they never said and encouraged me to only look at them. whoever comes to the door, looking for help, we are offering that help. of course, of course, there are some donors, for example, who would be interested, but this will not exclude others. and that's why we made good friendships during a time of crisis and isis with so many people who are in need from all the communities. because i've said it many times, yes. if isis was behind displacement of 125,000 christians, but isis also was behind displacement of three million sunnis from mosul and anbar and salahuddin. i've said that several times. i've said that isis have done damage to islam and

these were the future christians. ah, christianity emerged and emerged relatively slowly out of judaism. so we can consider these are a sick sects of also of a similar religious community, not in the wake of the speaker of jesus. they were jews who believed in jesus effect. lakeland christian sundays. the 1st christians were actually jews. so it was very difficult at 1st to differentiate a jew from a christian who did they shared texts, they shared practices of interpretation. they shared languages, they shared even physical space, like synagogues. so then the question becomes, how do we think about the commonality and the separation of these religions and what does that? oh, but as anti semitism or anti judaism owe to that process of separation? the christian philosopher justin was the 1st to call for a separation between judaism and christianity. in nablus, around the year 135 a century after christ's death, he portrayed this break in a written dialogue with an imaginary jew. he tells him that god has abandoned the

the christian philosopher justin was the 1st to call for a separation between judaism and christianity. in nablus, around the year 135 a century after christ's death, he portrayed this break in a written dialogue with an imaginary jew. he tells him that god has abandoned the jews and that christians were now called to take their place. the new law is for all peoples replacing the old law. it abolishes it entirely. we are now the true israel. we form the holy people who have recognised the true god through jesus alone discombobulated regime. this is called replacement theology, one which simply states that the church replaced judaism which was no longer valid . you said yes, they had been a privileged moment for them or a genuine covenant between god and the jewish people, but it was now null and void, you ah, continued mitchell in what is your typical christianity is a religion it's so to convert to gather people who were open to the teachings of judaism. so the figure of the jew was used as a deterrent. the pagans were converted by claiming and proving that jews were in the wrong armo

all christians with jewish ancestors, no matter how christian they were, had impure blood in their veins. the blood of those who had partaken in the crucifixion of christ this law on the purity of blood is considered the 1st racial law in history. race is our english word from the spanish we're dresser. so you might say that that word race was born from the spanish attempt to buy dent a fi. judy izing ah, in the spanish christian population, in cities across the kingdom, several generations of converts to christianity were removed from public and religious functions. from then on every one his sort of position of power had to prove they had no jewish ancestors in order to lay claim to purity of blood. no good, you know, see or got it good or that is, you know, he, they carried out investigations in the villages entered a families of any candidates don't even 7 or 8 generations on a family could suddenly find itself in a precarious position of all that was needed was someone to suddenly remember or claim that an individual had jewish ancestors for their entire career to be interrupted or

so jews and christians would associate with one another, mary and christians could even end up being buried in the jewish cemetery. this was perceived as a huge threat to christians. was people themselves didn't even to find themselves as jews or christians around. they were defined by others before jews had to be make visible. they needed to be identified as the enemy to be identified as something to be rejected. i washed it with in daily life. there was little to distinguish a christian from a jew. so christianity set out to create one is all the sudden you start seeing visual devices, what we call eigen a graphical devices. symbols for representing juice, new start gradually to see jewess singled out as visually distinctive in christian art. first pointed hats were placed on their heads, then they will portrayed a shorter and with darker skin tones. one of the symbols that many people nowadays think is eternal. and sometimes they even think it's natural and understandable. is this so called jewish knows the hooked nose or the bumble nose um, before about the year? 11. 60 no one an

it's only if i am a christian. and if i am committed to the pro life idea and that is a part of my identity, i am very likely to reject any kind of scientific finding that is inconsistent without identity. the worship in debate in america is not that's why and typically sound and that's because a politician is not an expert in the experiences of abortion providers and abortion patience. and for a long time, american media was really committed to a binary, worshiping at the altar of both sides. journalism, when abortion, it's simply a health care issue that has been politicized. in the abortion debate, there's really 2 main competing needs. there's the needs of the person who is pregnant and there are the needs of the infant. couldn't do that awful thing to a little pity, not to little baby. and in the conservative media, the life and rights of the infant are far disproportionately weighed again, the rights in life of the person who is pregnant and the focus is really on the religious discourse. this is a person, th

christianity wants to come. that is why christianity used the figure of the gym as a guitar. it's a history of slender, of hatred and violence. a 3rd of our people were exterminated 6000000 jews, like microbes to be annihilated. even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. history of antisemitism. this week on d. w. mm. mm. ah, ah, demonize ation, stigmatization expulsion ah mm . see p o, the pleasure to see all the ideologies. you go the mistrust that was deeply rooted in the 17th and 18th century with the law with noticeable throughout the history of the crusades until the 16th century, the medium and the resurgence of blood libel high. all of that vanished. and suddenly the slate was right close to bessie. during the french revolution, dues and france had for the 1st time, become citizens. this wave of emancipation brought hope to the rest of europe. but soon after, in an era marked by major transformations, new forms of anti semitism emerged. this time they were racially and poli

as a christian, st. ford in old perked and o'clock in libra from after school to wish stoughton was christ's love and mercy. so why is there so much fear surrounding opus day? bolcom doesn't understand either. we continue to probe. what does the group actually want? internal writings mentioned the sanctification of daily life and christine eyes in society. what does that look like in practice? can i to hiding the initially sanctifying daily life? and in doing work with christian values is a good concept. got to see the notion that christianity is not only limited to a religious service or a pious exercise in church. and instead is connected to society and life outside the church at which to get, i believe the intuition. there is a good one warden and there were others before open day that that eventually more latest notions, the pursuit of power and certain ecclesiastical goals emerged. that's a clear thread throughout opus days. history does come on and that's when chris denies nation of society and san

here they are. and help them justify before the lord we are christians. in addition to good deeds. is a very special power that saves us. we believe in response to our faith. and, of course, it is very desirable that in response to good deeds they save us, not the deeds themselves, because they are insignificant in the face of god, even if it seems to us that they are great, but grace saves us, god's grace. you are all saved through faith, and this is not god's gift from you, so that no one can boast. this is the power of grace. through the savior through his death on the cross through his suffering through we acquire the redemption of human guilt before god . and it is this grace, and nothing else, that saves us. well, where does the christian community gather, when there were persecutions in the roman empire, did they gather in the catacombs in the dungeons? hmm, more precisely , in underground cemeteries so that no one could see, hear, could not inform, because christians were subjected to the most severe persecution according to roman law and everyone had to inform on christian

cults was well known, so then it became on the outskirts of the roman byzantine empire, where christianitye into contact with other religions. but it's probably never been so dangerous to preach the word god's as in our fatherland. which has entered into a completely illogical state of complete rupture with god from the church. in connection with the very revolution that took place not somewhere there, but here in this city. and therefore with a special feeling today i think that many of you lifted up a prayer to the lord because the testimony that jesus is the son of god messiah savior. we, the people of the 21st century, repeat completely different historical , cultural and political conditions. and what does this mean? and in order to understand what it is means, let's strain our memory and try to remember what kind of intellectual spiritual or other discovery of antiquity is still relevant for us the answer no yes in schools at universities. we study, among other things, the creation of ancient greek roman philosophers. we are interested, but this is not relevant. we do not live by tho
