If Jesus comes back at the end of days, I'll ask him if this is his second or third time alive on Earth.
If it is his third, Dr. Eckleburg, I'll be the first to tell you that I was wrong.
In the meantime, we Jews and you Christians have a lot in common. I would prefer to focus on those aspects of our humanity and faith that unite us rather than Jewish observance, on the one hand, and the belief in Jesus as the Messiah, on the other hand, which are the issues that divide us.
As a Christian, however, I focus on Jesus as the Son of God first and foremost. It's a tremendous comfort and an unmerited gift of grace for which I thank God.
As a Calvinist Presbyterian who believes that every hair on every head is numbered by God for His glory, I believe the Jewish faith is the vine that God planted for the purpose of bearing the fruit of the Lamb of the World.
Israel is the Old Covenant; Jesus is the New Covenant. The Law became the Word.
Our roots are intertwined forever. Christians are cautioned to protect the roots.
I agree with you that we have a lot in common. And I hate the thought that Christians have/are/would ever be considered your enemies.
At the end of the day, we may have to agree to dissagree and respect each other's choices.
I believe the Jews are disobedient by their failure to recognize Jesus and feel compelled to warn you. And while I feel a responsibility to warn, I do not have the right before God to try to force, as the Muslims claim to have.
