Acts 2:36-42.

Peter told his Jewish listeners to get baptized. This means covert to Christ. For whatever reason I selected just this one scripture verse.

I believe that today there is a tendency to change the hard truth about what the Church has always taught when it comes to “How can we be saved?”, especially when it pertains to Jews. Does dual covenant theology excuse Jews from killing Christ? If so then since this killing was prophesied does that remove the sin? It had to be done for the sake of redemption? What about continuing rebellion against Christ, who brought a new covenant that, it seems plain and clear, superseded the Old Covenant.

I just read in St Augustine’s The City of God where he wrote about the OT stories concerning brothers in Genesis. I used to read those stories and didn’t understand there was any meaning to them. But Augustine creates an interpretation that juxtaposes older versus younger. The older brothers tend to be despicable: Cain, Ishmael (not despicable but cast aside), Esau, and Joseph’s older brothers who sold him as a slave; while the younger brothers were the favored ones—Abel, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph. As an example, older brother Cain (the Jews) killed younger brother Abel (Christ). Augustine believes that the older brother represent the old covenant, and the younger brother represent the new covenant or the Church, the younger brothers are favored by God.

A Jewish man on Facebook stated that he does not accept Jesus. He asks if Jews who perished in German concentration camps, Ann Frank specifically, will suffer twice—both in her temporal existence and in eternity.

I just finished taking a break from reading “Prophecy, the Jews, and the Antichrist Part II before reading this daily reflection. I don’t know how to answer the Ann Frank question.

All of this material is new to me.
