Since you’re posting in the Judaism forum, my best advice to you is to seek Celsus’ writings on the subject.

The "Judaism" forum??? What makes you think this thread is that? The one who posted the thread is a Catholic. Not only that, if this HAD been posted in a Judaism Caucus, it would not have been allowed to stay that way since it violates the purpose of a "Caucus", which states: The “caucus” article and posts must not compare beliefs or speak in behalf of a belief outside the caucus. You can read the rules here: http://www.freerepublic.com/~religionmoderator/index?U=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freerepublic.com%2Ffocus%2Fmy%2F.

And why would I care what Celsus, an anti-Christian 2nd. century philosopher has to say? It definitely wasn't about Martin Luther's anti-semitic remarks! You keep sounding like you ignore my repeated rejection of the man's anti-Jewish words. I hope you at least understand that Luther was NOT a Pope and his words were not binding on anyone forcing them to buy in to everything he states. Nonetheless, Luther was a brilliant theologian though he was also a human being with a sin nature we all share.

I hope you repent to Hashem one day, as love for the Jewish people isn’t expressed by praying for Jews to turn to idolatry. We suffered enough and await redemption.

I already have come to God in faith and I received Jesus Christ as my Messiah. One day, ALL Israel will as well. My love and prayers for the Jewish people is that their eyes will be opened because:

And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. (Zechariah 12:10)

This is where this thread is posted. As a Jew, I don't go into the Evangelical Christian forum on FR and post all the articles supporting the non-divinity of Jesus.

What a contradiction you present. You claim to "love the Jewish people" but you want them to cease being Jews. That's Satan talk by the way.

Under the threat of death by "Christians," Jews were forced to erase all historical records surrounding Jesus. Some of it still survives, and Celsus retained a significant part of it. There are several major studies from the Hebrew University and other scholars that verified much of the surviving fragments as true because the sources were so diverse but the narrative the same.

If you want to view Jesus as your Christian messiah, that's your choice. Jews won't because we were specifically warned not to fall for that in Torah. "Replacement theology" doesn't apply to Jews.
