Wrong, unless you cut the teachings of Jesus out of Christianity.

Judaism is a tribal religion. It promotes racial purity. It really is an "old
covenant," and Christianity really has superceded it.

If this is true -- I don't think it is -- it contradicts your first
statement.
You're being disingenuous aren't you? The only place you could take remarks
that supported apartheid is out of the old testament, but you retort referring
to the new - you are wrong.

I meant the old testament - and mistakenly assumed anyone who was a Christian
would know that love was not universal in the old but confined to the
"chosen." I thought the difference between the old and the new testaments was common
knowledge, yet you don't seem to appreciate the very core of supercession.
