However, I frankly am not surprised at modern Jewish takes that do whatever they can to back away from the idea that humanity needs salvation from sin. Because that’s the only way they can logically get the Jesus Christ question out of their hair, by declaring His role needless. If His role were acknowledged needful, then we have no other plausible candidate.

I sing in an Anglican Catholic choir, and love it. I have great respect for those composers and developers of the liturgy who through the centuries have set the episodes of the Jesus saga, and his life and principles to music and poetry.

I take communion reverently as a symbolic gesture linking me with Jesus’ life and death, even though to me personally, it’s more a reminiscence of the Passover supper which had been celebrated by Jews a thousand years hence as their being spared the plagues that God had wrought on the idolaters of Egypt.

And I’ve always wondered why, in teaching how to pray, Jesus did not devise a strictly Christian prayer rather than deriving The Lord’s Prayer from the Hebrew Amidah.
