Christians who come to a Jewish state to convert Jews are the enemy. Their activity is illegal and should be stopped.

Oh, and NO, Israel does not have unrestricted freedom of religion when in comes to prostletyzing, which Jews pretty much universally find HIGHLY OFFENSIVE.

HIGHLY OFFENSIVE. ??
This makes no sense to me? Jesus Christ is highly offensive?

What is highly offensive? I will ask this question til doomsday, because I do not see one thing Jesus Christ did in 33 years that was offensive to anyone? yet we offended him crucified him and many still do 2000 years later and he still forgives???But human beings still say he is the one who is offensive???

This is straight talk, so don't read it if you are afraid of political incorrectness.

I have a friend who is half Jewish, and I am actively sharing my faith as a Christian with her. Is that offensive to you? Doesn't she have the right to make her own decisions? Doesn't Jewish law say you are a Jew if you are born of a Jewish mother? Her mother is a Protestant Gentile, so does she even qualify as a Jew? Is half of her heritage gone now because her dad married a Protestant?
I am not one of those suck-up types who shrink in the face of opposition and political incorrectness. I am not afriad to ask you these questions. I understand fully why Jews don't try to convert Gentiles: because it is an ethnic religion. In your own bible, your own scriptures says that he will call some Gentiles His people (Do I have to look up this passage?). Exactly what does that mean? Which Gentiles share in His glory according to you? I don't want to offend you, but that is how I see it. I respect your right to your opinions, but human beings are (or should be) free to make their own choices, and if those choices bring them closer to God or closer to eternal damnation--it is their decision.
Jesus Christ and His disciples preached in Israel, and were persecuted by the religious authorities. I understand you say "this nation belongs to the Jews," but with all due respect, had it not been for Christian nations, there would be no Israel today. If it hadn't been for Christianity, Judaism may have been lost in history. It is always said that Christians should respect and appreciate Jews, but where is the appreciation for Britain and the axis powers for establishing Israel for Jews? We are not the enemy, we will continue trying to convert you because we love you and so does the Lord.
