Ummm..., I would expect so... but that's not so bad, is it? :-)

YES! Jews do not believe in converting others. We also find proselytizing highly offensive. If you want to offend Jewish people just try and convert us. Works every time for about 99% of Jews.

You were saying ...

Well, I'm afraid you'll be offended then... but that's nothing new on Free Republic... people get offended here all the time... so nothing new there... LOL...

Ummm..., you have heard about your own country-men (not excluding the women here) who are called Messianic Jews, haven't you? I mean, Evangelical Christians would consider those Jews to be their "brothers in Christ"... so which are you offended more by -- them being Messianic Jews or Christians being their brothers in Christ -- or both together?

And then, you've got to remember, too... that Jesus was considered to be the Messiah of Israel by Jews themselves (the Gentile Christians came much later). And so, Jesus was a Jew, all His disciples were Jews, all the new converts in the beginning were Jews... and those "Jews" went out and got a bunch of "Gentiles" converted ... to boot.

So, I would say that this whole thing was the fault of the Jews -- in the first place... wouldn't you? LOL...
