Candidly, I am always shocked when Christian engage in these polemics telling Jews they have been rejected by G-d, missed the boat and, most ridiculous of all, that Jews have misinterpreted their own scriptures these last 3,000 years and more and that’s why we screwed up.

This thread was started by a Jewish person (presumably), launching a polemic against Christians.

Besides, Christians have no such hangup against proselytization, one way or the other. Preaching the Gospel and getting you to convert is the salvation of your soul. To fail to do so is hatred towards you. If you claim to have the truth and withhold it from me, then you do me a significant harm.

I believe the operative word here is "claim". You claim, but you cannot prove. So, I will happily pass on being converted, thanks very much.

To Jews, proselytization is absolutely anathema. We don't subject others to it and we absolutely LOATHE any attempt to have it done to us. You have the most incredible chutzpah to claim that YOUR religion is "the salvation of [my] soul".

If it it the salvation of YOUR soul, then kol hakovod. Go with it. Just don't try to peddle it to me or other Jews. No $ale.

Thank you.

It is out of love that Christians share Christ and anyone who claims otherwise is working in opposition to God and His love, which saves sinners from themselves (their sins).
