Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's claim that the NT contains anti-Semitic propaganda and forged passages is theologically foolish — it substitutes his personal agenda for textual criticism and makes him the effective authority over Scripture.
Q: What do you think of Shmuley Boteach's claim that the NT has anti-Semitic propaganda Christians should reject as forgeries?
Mike argues the NT critiques Jewish leadership for rejecting Christ — this is guilt-for-sin, not ethnic hatred. Anti-Semitism would be 'I hate you because you are Jewish'; the NT critique is 'you have committed sin and will face its consequences.' Romans 9-11 promises Israel's future salvation; the gospel goes to the Jew first. Boteach has an agenda and is cutting the Bible to fit it — a clear mark of a false teacher.
