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."

Share yes, division - no!
2 Timothy 2:
... 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.
Amen and Amen!
Every Christian should read “When A Jew Rules the World” by Joel Richardson.
We are now part of Israel, and no longer strangers, but fellow citizens. Yeshua Reigns!
Rabbi Saul (Paul) rebuked Gentile believers in Yeshua who looked down upon their unbelieving Jewish brothers. He warned that having such an arrogant heart placed them in great risk of being cut off from G_d. This warning has been ignored by those in power over the church throughout the ages. The majority, not all, but the majority of the Christian Church has embraced supersessionism. This belief that the Church has replaced Israel has brought about violent and murderous actions against G_d’s chosen.
This great stain on Christendom cannot be denied, erased, or undone. We as followers of Yeshua are called to show mercy, love, and honor to our fellow non believing citizens of Israel. I can no more force you to believe than I can my own child. Each person has their own personal relationship with G_d. Only when we realize that we each have failed to live up to the standard of holiness required by G_d for entrance to heaven, can we then face the consequences of our own believes and actions, and turn to Him.
Only through G_d’s presence in our lives can we find that faith, that was Abraham's, when he was asked to sacrifice Isaac, the person through which G_d was to fulfill His promise to Abraham for all mankind. We have to be willing to follow G_d’s lead, no matter what is asked of us.
All of G_d’s promises will be fulfilled for both Judah and Israel, concerning His coming kingdom. Yes, a Jew will rule the world from Jerusalem. An observant Jew who celebrated all Festivals, and did not sin. The same one who fulfilled all the Feasts.

Makes me want to hug you all the more!

I appreciate Christianity in that it brings people who would otherwise be pagans closer to the truth. But no, we don’t have to recognize anyone as the Messiah until he comes.
Great news.
Jews have to admit that Christianity was a miraculous vehicle that stamped out Paganism and brought Gentiles far closer to them.
Now that the Neo-Pagans are on the rise, we’re going to have to stick together.
How utterly arrogant you are. What if I don't feel like being singled out for "missionizing"? What if a salesman came to the door to sell me something I had absolutely no interest in? I'd thank him and send him on his way, very quickly. If I had an inkling of interest in your religion, I am fully capable of looking up information about it. As it happens, watching grass grow is more interesting to me than "your" religion.
Get over it.
Note that you, who are not even a Christian, are demanding I disregard 2000 years of Christian teaching just to please you, because you have a narcissistic victim mentality that demands everyone feel sorry for you.
No thanks!
I’m not asking anyone to feel sorry for me. I’m just telling you would-be proselytizers to sod off!
That explains the whining spammy posts of yours over my posts to a Christian over Christian doctrine, explaining to me how much you don't care.
The whiny woman doth protest too much.
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Stuff it. Go preach your stuff to someone who is even remotely interested.
Which is what I've been doing, until I was rudely interrupted by a whiny narcissist pushing victimhood on a conservative forum.
Amen.
Your "narcissist" take is perfect---for YOU.
Here's some truth: the Jewish temple was utterly destroyed by the Roman armies on the anniversary of God's righteous wrath against the 1st Temple, leading to the death of between 1 to 3 million Jews, and many more were then led into captivity where they were either raped, worked to death, or fed to lions. And since that time Gentiles have trampled on the land, even to this day, where the largely secular and socialist state of Israel is every day harassed by Palestinian terrorists whose Mosque sits on the Temple mount.
Chew on that nut.
Oh wow, so the idiot obviously wants to pick a fight with me, but doesn't even know the history of his own people. How embarrassing.
