Perhaps if they first make changes to the Talmud...

From the Jewish Encyclopedia, we learned that the Talmud slanders our Savior, Jesus Christ.

“... the Jewish Encyclopœdia admits that Jewish legends concerning Jesus are found in the Talmud and Midrash and in “ the life of Jesus ( Toledot Yeshu) that originated in the Middle Ages. It is the tendency of all these sources to belittlethe person of Jesus by ascribing to Him illegitimate birth, magic, and a shameful death. “ 1.

Rev. I. B. Pranaitis revealed in The Talmud Unmasked that Jesus is also maligned as a false teacher:

“… He[Jesus] is referred to in the Talmud as Otho Isch- “That man,” i.e. the one who is known to all. In the tract Abhodah Zarah, 6a, we read: “He is called a Christian who follows the false teachings of that man, who taught them to celebrate the feast on the first day of the Sabbath, that is, to worship on the first day after Sabbath…Talui, -”The one who was hanged”…” 2.

Jewish sources avoid the Greek name “Jesus”, meaning ‘savior’, and abbreviate Jeschua to “Jeshu’ which means “may his name be blotted out!”

“…name in Hebrew would be Jeschua Hanotsri—Jesus the Nazarene. He is called Notsri from the city of Nazareth… In the Talmud Christians are also called Notsrim. (Amongst other things). ‘Since the word Jeschua means ‘Savior,’ the name Jesus rarely occurs in the Jewish books. It is almost always abbreviated to Jeschu… as if it were composed of the initial letters of the three words Immach SCHemo Vezikro— (meaning)- -’May his name be blotted out.’” 4.

Yes, if Catholics were to demand the Talmud be changed re: their interpretation of Jesus, I’m sure they’d become more obstinate just like Catholics and I’d expect most Christians would, upon a demand for a Christian prayer be changed.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Keep in mind that the Good Friday prayers referenced in this article are praying for people's salvation. What we want for people --- other Christians, Jews, and Pagans --- is their eternal bliss in the presence of God. Tell me: is that malicious?

I have never minded if others wanted to pray for me as long as they are praying for my well-being and redemption.

Even if the petitions were phrased in a way that was uncomfortably disparaging --- "May Mrs. Don-o and all the blind obstinate Catholics find their salvation through Jesus in the Cornerstone Church of San Antonio" --- I would still assume it was motivated by a friendly concern for my soul.

Just don't hit me with those Imprecatory Psalms. "May they perish in disgrace" is something I'd find hard to take amiably.
