Speak for yourself. I have nothing to be ashamed of.

"Christians" carry a name that bears with it the atrocities that were committed. Considering the historical fact that early followers of Y'shua were NOT considered a new religion, and in fact "the Way" as they were called was seen in the Temple daily for nearly 40 years until its destruction would reveal that they were not a NEW religion that Christianity became in the 2nd Century. If your religious heritage comes from that new religion, then you share the shame of it. I can show you literally HUNDREDS of textual examples in the Greek "New Testament" that carry the shame of the litany, where there has been a diberate attempt to wipe Judaism out of the religion of the Bible. Every major "Christian" denomination today LOATHES the things of the Torah that look too "Jewish". Oh, they LOVE the so-called "Ten Commandments" - but they don't want any of that stuff that looks "too Jewish". Most "Christians" today do not EVEN KNOW that God commanded His people to put "fringes" on the corners of their garments - as an EVERLASTING ORDINANCE. They just think those are funny things Orthodox Jews wear. The reason they don't know? "Christian" theologians decided 1,900 years ago that if it "looks Jewish" don't do it - no matter WHAT the Bible says. No matter what Y'shua says,

Do not think that I came to destroy Torah or Navi'im [Prophets]. I did not come to destroy but to establish. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one yod or one taggin will by no means pass from Torah till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these mitzvot [commandments], and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:17-19

Learn the Sh'ma - Y'shua did. (Matthew 22:37-40)

White European and African tribesman have a few negative connotations too. I don't get a mental illness about the name christian.

You're preaching to the choir. I totally agree.

Ever hear of Barbara Richmond? She released a book on Jewish insights into the New Testament, written by rabbis in Jerusalem who secretly believe in the Messiah. I can't find it right now, I think it's out of print.
