Hi,
...I just wanted to ask this question, why do Christians show favoritism toward the Jews if there is no Jew nor Greek in Christ (Galatians 3:28)?
Jesus was a Jew, all the apostles were Jews, most of the early followers were Jews, they all lived in Israel, believed in the "O.T." that is mostly about Jews, so why is there any wonder that many Christians feel some sort of affinity towards Jews and Israel? I have a special affinity towards my parents because they obviously are a large part of my roots, much like Jews and Judaism are obviously a large part of Christian roots.
Seems to me that you have a political agenda here, not a religious or a historical one.
Rubbish.Peace, ...
OK. Therefore?Christians should not be favoring the Jews if their Scriptures tell them that their is no Jew in Christ.
But some Christian preachers do glorify the Jews in my experience; I'm not sure if those preachers are part of some conspiracy or not.

Lol, well I guess that that is how it seems to you. My question is religious and I guess political if the Jews are a race and a religion; but the centerpoint of my question is Galatians 3:28 in the Bible, which reads, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."

I still don't know where you see anything that might resemble glorifying of Jews, except in fundamentalist Christian Zionism, which is not, in fact, glorifying Jews, but utilizing them in an apocalyptic theology.
There are numerous progressive Christians today who speak well of Jews and many other non-Christian religions as part of interfaith dialogue and respectful coexistence. But nothing that I would think of as "glorifying."
It's a big world, I suppose I couldn't rule out that there might be a couple of preachers out there glorifying Jews for some reason. But I've never heard of it, I don't know anyone who's heard of it, and I would be deeply skeptical of the idea that such individuals made up even a miniscule minority of Christians.
In general and in absolutely overwhelming majority, Christians do not favor Jews, nor have they ever done so. Historically, the precise reverse has been true. Even today, when there are progressive Christians with cordial and respectful relations with Jews and other non-Christian religions, I cannot think of a single instance where Jews are favored by them any more than anyone else. It simply doesn't happen, unless perhaps in some freak isolated instance that no one has ever heard of-- meaningless in the overall context of general Christian behavior toward Jews.
I don't understand how or why you are interpreting that passage to mean anything about Jews. IMO it's simply a statement that indicates all the labels humans use to create separations amongst ourselves are really ultimately meaningless.
edit: This passage does not exclude Jews, Greeks, males or females. I think it means all are included.
What favoritism have you seen or heard? I don't know of any. Do you have any quotes or links?

The favoritism might be more visible in the way that the American government and people regard the state of Israel. It's like, as far as the American government and people are concerned, the state of Israel can violate international law and do whatever they please because they are the state of Israel. That kind of thinking is EVIL in my book even though I'm an agnostic (meaning I don't believe or disbelieve that there is a God (something or someone who should be worshiped.))

From my discussion with Christians they see in the Torah where G-D said that Jews are G-D's chosen people and that G-D gave them the land of Israel.Hi,

Right, agreed. Heck that's pretty obvious.I dont think the American government is a spokesperson for Christians. To put it another way, one has nothing to do with the other.
