[Writings of one the most highly regarded Saints of the Orthodox Church regarding Jews and Christian "Judaizers."]
HOMILIES AGAINST THE JEWS
Adversus Judaeos
Saint John Chrysostom (347- 407)
"But at any rate the Jews say that they, too, adore God. God forbid that I say that. No Jew adores God! Who say so? The Son of God say so. For he said: 'If you were to know my Father, you would also know me. But you neither know me nor do you know my Father'. Could I produce a witness more trustworthy than the Son of God?"
"So the godlessness of the Jews and the pagans is on a par. But the Jews practice a deceit which is more dangerous. In their synagogue stands an invisible altar of deceit on which they sacrifice not sheep and calves but the souls of men."
