I take it, you mean the argument from historicity? The difference is, the Protestants claim the same inheritance of Christ as we do; it is then proper to point them to what Christ actually taught the early Church.

I refer to your arguments against antinomianism. You may use Protestant antinomian arguments against the Torah, but you have to adopt Jewish arguments to defend the validity of your "new law" as well as the concept of this life as a probationary state during which we acquire merits and de-merits, being judged according to the totality after death. What, you don't see this? No, of course you don't. Silly me for asking!

But our relationship with the Jews is more distant as we do not claim to belong to the same religion.

You don't gotta tell me. John Hagee must run you bonkers. Unfortunately, most American Jews still prefer Catholics and Orthodox because of a common urban/immigrant/minority experience, as well as the old "the devil you know" dictum.

Ah, thanks. Why, I think we are consistent. The Old Law (excepting the Noahide covenant) was given the Jews and we say that the Jews were bound by them till Christ; and the New Law is given us, and we are bound by it.
