Of course much comes with that. The Bible, \n for example. If you have not come to terms with the Bible either \n directly or through some agent, you have nothing substantial on \n which to base your decision. \n It is impossible to read the Bible without noticing that Israel \n permeates it. Therefore it is impossible to interpret the Bible \n without deciding what to do with Israel. The choices boil down to \n either accepting that Israel has a permanent role in God’s econ- \n omy or deciding that Israel’s role was transitory. \n The vast majority of Christians go with the transitory-Israel \n model. The only problem with that is the Bible disagrees. How \n could this be? You do not have to look far to discover one plausi- \n ble reason for this unreasonable bias: all Gentiles are all born \n antisemitic, and it takes an effort to overcome that feeling, just as \n it takes an effort to mitigate one’s own tendency to favor oneself \n above others. But antipathy toward Jews in the whole range of \n sins is in class by itself, as history shows. Quite obviously there is \n a diabolical incentive in it. These are very elementary facts. It is \n also indisputable that, historically, disputes between Christians \n and Jews over interpretations of the Jewish Bible are charged \n with jealousy on both sides, to put it mildly.","bbox":{"left":0.052924,"top":0.212119,"width":0.894817,"height":0.7030559999999999}},{"text":"1","bbox":{"left":0.51345,"top":0.956329,"width":0.011850000000000027,"height":0.02983899999999995}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
