A group of prominent Orthodox rabbis in Israel, the United States and Europe have issued a historic public statement affirming that Christianity is "the willed divine outcome and gift to the nations" and urging Jews and Christians to "work together as partners to address the moral challenges of our era."
"Jesus brought a double goodness to the world," the statement reads. "On the one hand he strengthened the Torah of Moses majestically" and on the other hand "he removed idols from the nations," instilling them "firmly with moral traits."

I did watch and take notes for part 1. Then just read this which was linked in a thread...

Thanks.
Your repeated personal attacks and name calling are incompatible with your profession of faith as a Christian. You should publicly apologize.
You would have hated Jesus Christ! "Ye serpents! Ye hypocrites! Well did Isaiahs prophecy of you!"
No confusion out of Christ about who is and isn't the true Israel of God either.
... a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
It's refreshing to see this quotation on this forum. I did a search for scriptural ideas on speech and related conduct earlier this year--after I'd read some threads in which some of our self-identified "servants of the Lord" quarreled a bit. I found this passage, among others.
There's really a lot more to the Bible than endless requotations of Matthew 24 and a selected handful of phrases from Paul ("lookit, 'foolish Galatians'--there's some biblical authority that lets me call people 'fools'!!!"). Maybe it's revealing to notice what is quoted a lot and what isn't.
Are you claiming the New Testament as a license to personally insult Jews who do not believe in Jesus, or will you accept correction and apologize ?
Ephesians 4:31-32 “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
You started that by badmouthing my family and then ran and tattled like a little kid.
There wasn’t anything “ Christian” about your comments, either. Bet you didn’t show your daughter that your comments.
Get over yourself and quit stalking me
Thank you. As I see it, here's one test of how many people actually follow the Bible that they claim to follow.
Agree.
Matt 22:12 "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,.." - I see this happening more and more these days.
