Chrstians can be wonderful people, but when are they going to realize that the Jews have not converted to chrstianity for two thousand years and that they never will??? Why does every single generation of chrstians think that they will be the ones to do the impossible? It's just like leftist utopianism . . . no matter that it's never worked and never will, they simply won't give it a rest.
Chrstians on this forum constantly ride mormons for writing additional "holy books" and insisting on their sanctity. To Jews the "new testament" is no different than the "book of mormon" is for conventional chrstians. Jews do not accept it. They will never accept it. To continue to send Jews copies of that book is beyond ridiculous. It's insulting.
Cut it out or quit ragging the mormons.
We never will "give it a rest" simply because we believe that Jesus IS the Messiah. We have an obligation to the WORLD to share this good news. The guy in the article showed no class by doing what he did and those who sent the Bibles were NOT trying to cram it down his or anyone's throat. I am positive Bibi Netanyahu would never do such a thing because he DOES have class, he realizes that millions of Christians love the nation of Israel and the Jewish people as well as strongly supporting and defending them. At least with Christians (the real kind) no one needs to fear being killed because they don't chose to accept Jesus. But I disagree with you that they never will, because one day they WILL:
A prophecy: The word of the Lord concerning Israel.
The Lord, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares: “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the Lord. “I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their God.’
“On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place. “The Lord will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord going before them. On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. (Zechariah 12:1-10)
Now, you have the freedom to accept this or reject it and I totally respect your rights, but I do not agree that the nation of Israel, the Jewish people, will forever reject Jesus Christ as the Messiah. They will one day and it may not be much longer. I will continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and that they will receive their true Messiah, Jesus the Christ. Shalom.
Cristian love, as you well know, is always conditional on one one surrendering to their will. It is foolish and dangerous for Jews and Israel to trust Christians or neopagan Western Civilization. “Esav hates Jacob.”
This wasn’t an attempt to convert anyone, this was just a provocation.
Are they expecting all jews will convert? No. But a few will. The Messianic Jewish movement shows this.
