Well, this is an article from the Jewish perspective.

I think, when you refuse to accept the obvious answer, the Gospel, then you often go further and further afield in search of other answers. First, you might scour the Torah, then the Rabbinical writings, then the mystical stuff like Kabbalah. Plenty of Jews keep searching until they wander away from God’s Word entirely and wind up chasing philosophy, Buddhism, or New Age nonsense. All because they are not satisfied with the answer God gave them, and think they might find a better one for themselves if they just keep looking.

Of course the gentile unbelievers do the same things, but it’s a bit sadder when God’s people do it, since they are so close to the truth to begin with.

I knew a Jewish man, just as you describe. He was "open minded" about everything.

Everything except Jesus.

He was really into Baha'i

::Sigh:: The gospel is not "obvious" unless one already accepts it.

Israel was not given the "new testament" at Sinai. It was given The Torah. It was also told to never depart from it to the right or to the left and warned that any deviation from it would result in exile. The insistence that the Torah was "temporary" and "preparatory" does not come from the Torah but from the "new testament." Which means that one has to already accept the "new testament" to begin with in order to believe the claim! What is so hard to understand about this? The chrstian claim that Moses and the Biblical Israelites worshiped J*sus (chas vechalilah!) is no different than the moslem claim that Abraham practiced islam.

Good gravy. Do you people not see what you are doing?
