I’ve met and known Jewish converts; being SBC as you are though you may not see too many Messianic Jews hanging around or visiting SBC churches; let’s say on a friendly sunday special contact service the way the local Gideons or a Missionary might visit. You’d see more Jewish converts attending Charismatic or Pentecostal type churches however. The Messianic Jewish movement has some seriously gifted writers and thinkers from whom one can gain some deep insights as to the Jewish heritage of our Messiah.
By the way, do you like my tag line? It came about when I was in a discussion with another Christian whose views are left of center. He argued with me about being more politically conservative and in the midst of the conversation I was trying to remind him about the coming kingdom that Christ would set up and I said to him..”look it’s not about being left wing or right wing...it’s CHRIST WING!” It was a conversation stopper and my heart was suddenly filled with joy...there simply was nothing else to be said!
Today yes I think Messianic Jews may be the most ardent...that would make sense to them and frankly while some Jews may find it obnoxious it hardly rises to a threatening level.
We all deal with sects trying to convert us from Jehovah Witness to Mormons ...
many evangelicals today have become Jewish fascinated but not as converts so much as special folks ...it's a bit odd to me.
when I grew up we as church folks viewed Jews as folks given the word first and yes chosen by God to receive it and ultimately had rejected it and suffered for that...and we viewed them as cultural cousins...but I grew up before the progressivism of today had taken hold like now
I myself never figured I knew precisely what God in store for them...nor pretend to. I would like to think they will not be punished for eternity...but it's not my call.
I realize most of them reject that sort of consequential thinking anyhow and view it as dangerous mythology which btw brings back to why so many recoil against most literal forms of Christianity....they fear it....and not without good reason
and they simply don't have the same view of what life on earth means or values...it's more transitory and a test for us than for them
for many Jews today life on earth has become an end all
