True friend?..you mean the Christians in Eastern Europe who routinely massacred us, and forced us into ghettos? Or expelled us and burned at the stake? Those friends?
In the Russian Empire, such place were called THE PALE.
Ya that's a sticky wicket ...
Historically Christians have not been friends with Jews.
Jews have been evicted from something like 150 countries over the years.
That's the main reason for a Jewish homeland.
And to say that Jews and Christians share a common faith is really the same as saying the mooslimps and Christians share a common faith or the mooslimps and the Jews share a common faith.
Christians believe Jesus is the fulfillment of the promise made to Abraham.
Jews don't ... they look for an other.
mooslimps are just bat $#!t crazy.
I say if a man is comfortable with his beliefs .. so be it.
If someone is wondering about life .. what it means etc... then I'm glad to give him the gospel of Jesus.. to take or reject.
I think the attitude that some how all the Jews will suddenly decide they have been wrong all these years is a bit out in the zone.... and kind of insulting.
But ... as I say that ... let me be clear .. the barbaric attack on peaceful people by a bunch of mad dogs needs to be put down with the thunder that only God can call down.
So I pray he does.
I'm sure the Jews are praying that also.
Civilized people share common traits and goals ... even if our faith is not the same.
