You’ve not been listening closely enough to the Christians, and it’s understandable. Folks who believe strongly in their belief system often tune out what may cause questions to arise within their thought process...

Ah, the personal attack. I grew up in a Roman Catholic town and went to Church every week for a decade, as we all did.

I learned the RC services and catechisms in two languages other than English. (Latin, of course, was one.)

At the same time I attended an Anglican school from just after grade school until I went to college.

There, we had daily chapel service, and at that time, Saturdays as well. I would be surprised if you've been to Church more times than I have.

And, of course, there was Bible Study.

It was delightful, in college, to meet other actual Jews.

It is sad you speak with such obsequiousness so sweetly and viciously of my 'arrogance.' Moreover you, the expert, should know that Jews are not in the least interested in 'enlightening' Christians.

Yours is a game Christians have always played for themselves - converting the heathen with love - until you've had enough of our silly, dark religion and the massacres begin.

Every time.

Every time.

Yikes.

Bolus, just me; I am so not sweet. The Lord God takes any from a feather to a 2x4 to a tornado to get me back on track. Every. Single. Day.

It is not out of love that I speak, when I speak of Christ.

It is out of true fear and trembling and awe of the love that He, Christ has for those that are still lost and for the love He has forvHis Father.

Me? I am a selfish, flawed human. So please, allow me to disabuse of any idea of me wanting to kill you onto anything.

I do think I muslims about your arrogance. It is more like sheer rage. A far deeper emotion. Someone, most likely more than one someone...hurt you. He, she, or they cut you to the inner core and you have never healed.

Your intellect is great. At one point I spoke French and English. Because of memory issues I now struggle with just English and have almost zero in the way the French language left in my thought process. I admit it gets a tad frustrating reaching for words that are no longer there. And, sometimes a bit on the funny side.

I am glad there are people like you and my beloved husband who have a grasp of languages.

As a Christian it is my duty and joy to follow the Lord’s instructions, even if painful at the same time. That would include protecting you.

There are no silly dark games in the Jewish faith as laid down by the Lord God. The instructions given were always for His purpose even if we humans did not see them.

Those that would kill or harm Jews in the name of Christ have to answer for that at the correct time.

Another thought.... Why are you or the Jews you know not interested in enlightening the Christians or even non-Christians about your faith? The Lord God did make you His people. Is it fear that He will not be able to be seen in your actions or words?

I think it is a personal thing.. Prior to retiring I had many discussions with a Jewish man and found his information to be thorough and thought provoking. A great regret I have to this day is never asking him if the Passover is tied to a full moon. I was never sure if I could ask that question without sounding like an idiot.

Perhaps another Jewish FReeper could answer that question for me.

I shall also admit prior to coming to know my Lord God through the love of his Son Jesus, I would spit out angry, even angrier words when I read, or heard a Christian.

Every.

Single.

Time.
