I’m with you, elder brother. Every word. Also, I believe the practices and statutes of God’s People mean something more to God than to the general Western population. There is an increasing Americanized abhorrence for religious “rules and regulations and religious community, and we’re all called “Pharisees”.
Though I of course do not understand how many layers of blinders my Jewish friends must require, or layers of ear flaps it must take to avoid seeing and hearing that their Messiah has come with their salvation and mine.
I mean God Himself drew pictures, in crayon, in your Book, so we stiff necked Jews and Gentiles would recognize Him in the rest of the Book.
I believe we Catholics and Jews have favor and share the same destiny, remnant though it may be.
Not to say that, by God’s Mercy, others can’t lumber in late, at 5:00, having done no work or very little, like me, and seek Mercy.
God’s speed, and hang right in there

That is incorrect. The Torah is the Final Religion, as is made clear in numerous places. The "new testament" selectively quotes (out of context) verses from the Prophets and then claims J*sus "fulfilled" them, and since chrstians accept the authority of the "new testament" right off the bat, they accept this claim as absolute truth.
If the truth of the "new testament" is not assumed, the claims of chrstianity cannot be vindicated.
Chrstianity doesn't need to be Judaized. It needs to be replaced with the Noahide Laws.
