I’ve been through many of these arguments. The bottom line is that many Christians think that it is perfectly appropriate for them to dictate what Judaism is and who is Jewish. Not only that, but they have no compunction about telling you your religion is wrong and you are only OK if you accept the Christian messiah. So, if some Christians calling themselves Jews want to engage deceptively in Christian Missionary activities, there’s nothing wrong with that.
It is a given that each person of faith thinks they have the right one and everyone else is wrong. Fine. But here on FR, I have always expected that we will do each other the mutual courtesy of not invalidating each other’s beliefs. As this thread shows, things quickly descend into pretty ugly places when that happens.
So, to all my friends, I won’t insult your religion and I hope you will not insult mine.
Actually there are persons on this forum who militantly invade threads dealing with the New Testament just to categorically denounce anyone who quotes from it.
I have been far more often insulted than insulting on this ostensibly conservative forum with the audacious name of Free Republic.
I have devoted much of my life in the REAL WORLD to ministering to the needs of others, whether in official ministry or through other avenues.
I know what it is to truly befriend others - including those who embrace a religion (e.g., Judaism) or a lifestyle (e.g., Homoeroticism) other than my own.
There are very few on this site whose ostensive definitions of friendship and friendliness I would trust. (One of those few left a few months ago in disgust.)
