Salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ.

We (Christians) want to share that with everybody. What, do you hate the Jews so much that you would deny them the Gospel?

The differences between Judaism and Christianity are significant and go right to the fundamentals of each faith. For example, Christians believe in original sin, a Hell, and seek to be saved by belief in Christ. Jews do not believe in original sin, nor in a Hell, nor that a soul can be damned there. Jews do not believe in sacrificing one man to absolve the sins of another. The soul is eternal, the body is a vessel for the soul and the soul reincarnates.

Exactly.

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

Romans 1:16

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith,[e] as it is written, "The righteous shall live by faith."

.

John 14:6

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Maybe I don’t have such benighted view of humanity as you do.

Says you. For us Jews, salvation is through faith in G-d (Whom you call the Father) and none other. He made a covenant with us, we don't need OR WANT to replace it with another one (and, in fact, if we do we have committed a grave sin - and the Jewish carpenter that you worship believed the same, it is his early followers who changed that).

We (Christians) want to share that with everybody. What, do you hate the Jews so much that you would deny them the Gospel?

Well thanks for wanting to share - I can't fault someone for the inclination to be generous. However, I would politely decline if you were to offer me some bacon, however well-intentioned that you might be. Similarly, I will decline your invitation to dis G-d by giving up my faith. Maybe, before you offer someone something, you should think about whether they can or want to accept it? Maybe, especially when a very little bit of research, and common sense, might inform you that such an offer is insulting. Maybe a little more research would teach you that similar "generous" offers in the past resulted - after rejection of said offer - in hideous violence against Jews?

You have your covenant, we Jews have ours. Leave us alone to practice our faith - we have no problem with you following yours. That is all that we Jews have ever asked.
