Of course I'm upset. I'm sick to death of Christians trying to take our shit and make it theirs, while giving us shit for not abandoning our shit for yours.

It's a Jewish movie, based on a Jewish story. Judaism exists just fine without Christianity, while Christianity can't exist without Judaism.

If you find meaning and fulfillment in a Jewish story it because Judaism preludes your Christianity: good for you. But stop trying to take our shit and make it yours.

Get your own shit.

Need this site to understand that "The Prince of Egypt" is BOTH a Jewish and Christian movie. Let no one rob it from the Jews, but us christians literally owe our faith to the same God who saw to and led the Exodus. The Ten Commandments are still in effect, Jesus did not abolish the law but fulfilled it, and to get to Jesus we needed Moses.

#cultural appreciation #chrisitan appropriation of judaism #jesus fulfilled ZERO jewish prophecies of the messiah anyway #and in the long run he and his followers fucked us over worse than king herod ever did #he was just one of many messianic claimants who didn't live up to the hype #and you and your lot fell for it #and moved the goalposts to say 'it still applies to him' even though it doesn't apply to him in any way #according to you--he ALREADY came back to life once and STILL didn't do any of the things the jewish messiah is supposed to do #“Oh Jesus is God and God is Perfect” except it takes Jesus three attempts to do something the Jewish messiah could do right the first time #Even by New Testament standards jesus didn't fit any of the criteria YOU SET for his messianic claim #“oh he was a direct descendant of king david”#a) you literally can't prove that since there are no geneological records and it was 2 thousand years ago #b) it was HIS STEPDAD Joseph who was supposedly the direct descendant of david--not Mary herself #Christian dogma makes very clear “Jesus was the son of God NOT JOSEPH” so jesus isn't even a direct descendant of king david #The New Testament also starts with the prophecy “your son will become king of the jews” -- except he NEVER BECAME King of the Jews!!#NOT in a legal sense--and not even in a spiritual sense since he failed to win over all of judea during his life and even after death #He was a literal cult leader whose followers grossed out other jews cuz they didn't believe in washing their hands before they ate #he didn't unite all the peoples of the world into one nation #he didn't bring a thousand years of peace following his death #he didn't drive out the romans and restore judea for the jews #Hell--jesus lived 40 years before jews were even driven into diaspora by the romans to begin with #So he didn't even fulfill the most BASIC Jewish messianic function of “restoring jews to the land of israel”#That thing that ancient jews created the 'messiah' concept for to honor the persian emperor cyrus the great #who restored ancient jews to their homeland after we were conquered and exiled by ancient babylonians #cyrus the great showed up #conquered the babylonians #and said to the jews “sure you can go home and worship your own god and run your own shit--just pay your taxes”#literally cyrus the great of ancient persia was more of a messiah to the jews than jesus ever was #y'all just moved the goalposts and changed the criteria of what a messiah is to make it apply to jesus after the fact #because history revisionism and wilful cherry-picking is what christians do best
