I think what Jews are most extremely afraid of is their children becoming Christians and this fear has been passed down through centuries. Many must demonize and marginalize Christians to keep their kids from investigating and being attracted to the truth, the fact that Jesus is the Messiah.


Somewhat insulting. All religions feel theirs is the right way for their flock’s children. Do you want your children converting to Judaism? Be kind. The Jews around here are smart and conservative and detest Obama. We don’t fear Christians. We believe the truths of Christianity are truths for Christianity. We are happy for you but have a different theology, equally Gd fearing.

The Jewish religion does not condone evangelism (trying to convert others) but neither does it condone intermarriage. This last bit was a big problem most recently for Napoleon, who wanted to fully integrate (ie. secularize) the Jews of France. At the same time, most Jews are as ignorant of Christianity’s tenets as Christans are of Jewish tenets. And may I add... The United States of America is the only country ever in the history of the world in which more Christians convert to Judaism than Jews convert to Chistianity. (source: Telushkin) Are “average Jews” afraid of the “Good News”? I don’t think so... But they ARE fiercely loyal to their peoplehood and traditions. What most Christians don’t seem to understand is that Jesus himself was one of us. His followers were Jews, too... And it was only after Saul (Paul) and, in time the Romans began forging a highly marketable version of the Church, that the religions stopped resembling each other so closely.
May He bless and keep us all.
