Im SBC....been around Jews from pals to intimate relations with Jewish women all my half century
Never tried to bring a Jew to Jesus..
..i dont know anyone who does
It aint none of that
Progressive Jews simply believe in almost nothing Fundamentalist Christians do
The whole culture war laundry list opposing sides and Jews are the special forces and predominate leadership of this war from their side in the media, Hollywood and academia
Its just how it is.....its gotten more defined starting with the 60s college radicals but even predates that
I wish things were different and we do get some cool defectors from their side but i never see Jews tossing aside the drive to always change wherever they inhabit
I’ve met and known Jewish converts; being SBC as you are though you may not see too many Messianic Jews hanging around or visiting SBC churches; let’s say on a friendly sunday special contact service the way the local Gideons or a Missionary might visit. You’d see more Jewish converts attending Charismatic or Pentecostal type churches however. The Messianic Jewish movement has some seriously gifted writers and thinkers from whom one can gain some deep insights as to the Jewish heritage of our Messiah.
By the way, do you like my tag line? It came about when I was in a discussion with another Christian whose views are left of center. He argued with me about being more politically conservative and in the midst of the conversation I was trying to remind him about the coming kingdom that Christ would set up and I said to him..”look it’s not about being left wing or right wing...it’s CHRIST WING!” It was a conversation stopper and my heart was suddenly filled with joy...there simply was nothing else to be said!
Evidently some of these guys didn't see posts 47 and 55.
Most of us here are conservatives, and a handfull are just tribalists interested in some identity agenda. This thread was a reasonable, useful, even important thread for discussion by conservatives of all stripes, but it seems to have been hijacked in an effort to stop the discussion and analysis of the left.
In case you haven't noticed, there are quite a few "defectors" who are prominent as American Jewish conservative (at least to some extent) political and cultural intellectuals and pundits.
Just to name a few that come to mind:
Don Feder, Jonah Goldberg, Mark Levin, Mona Charen, Pamela Geller, Bill Kristol, Charles Krauthammer, David Horowitz, (the late) Andrew Breitbart, Ronald Radosh, Jay Sekulow, Adam Bellow, Daniel Pipes, Joan Swirsky, Ben Shapiro, Joel Pollak, Michael Medved, Gertrude Himmelfarb, Michael Savage.
I'm sure I'm missing quite a number more.
