“As are your apparent beliefs about the basic Christian faith.”

As far as I’m concerned, JC preached about charity, kindness, and many other Jewish teachings. I encounter many Evangelical Christians who have a genuine love for Israel and Jews because of this.

Christians have their various interpretations of the Hebrew Bible which makes each unique, yet have a common belief that unites them. Your disputes with each other on doctrine and practice are *your* disputes. Jews have nothing to do with it.

What brings about interfaith dialogue is Torah because it’s usually the one thing we can all agree on. For example, we’re the ones who spend thousands of years examining Exodus where it’s not just slavery, plagues, etc. We’re concerned with what happened all through the forty years and everything that happened afterwards.

Our rabbis — including Singer — are concerned with educating and creating Jewish homes and bringing Jews back to living a life according to Torah. We’re not missionaries to Christians, Muslims, Shinto, Hindu, etc.

Hillel’s Golden Rule: That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn.

More evasion as i see it. Based on what i have read, your beliefs about the basic Christian faith include those i asked you to affirm or deny, and ignoring them only serves to confirm that you do. Saying some nice things about some preaching of "JC" is a poor substitute.

Fellow Jews seemed to think that He gave a different impression to those around Him.

 

 

Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, ‘I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?’

‘We are not stoning you for any of these,’ replied the Jews, ‘but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God’”

John 10:30–33 NIV

THIS is the whole of Christianity:

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
