>> “And oh also, Jesus was Jewish.” <<

.
A fact that 99% of those that call themselves Christian seem to want to hide.

We are also Jewish and totally agree.

Some are blind to the common enemy of Jews and Christians, because most of those never go to shul, never celebrate Shabbat (Reform) and are totally lib.

Not one Christian I know would hide the fact Jesus was a Jew.

Are you Alec Baldwin?

Sadly Muslim culture is not compatible with the values of the Enlightenment which are actually based on the Judeo-Christian experience. As far as squabbles, indeed it is time to recognize that a holiday that celebrates peace, joy, childhood glee and brings families together is something that should be enjoyed by everyone in some way.

But American Jews vote overwhelmingly for, and in many cases are, the very dems who are leading the current purge of Judeo-Christian values from our social fabric.

May I assume you’ve never been in a Christian Church anywhere near Christmas time?

You need to hang out at the religion forum for a while.

The worship described in the gospels is pure Judaism being practiced by Yeshua and the disciples, and in the Acts and the epistles it is the same Judaism fulfilled by the perfect sacrifice, but you’d never know it by the comments that get posted.

I've never known a Christian who tried to hide that fact.

Churches at christmas are the perfect example of what I meant. The traditions of christmas are a total distortion of the circumstances of his birth.

Christmas day is usually a pretty quiet affair for Jewish people. Most spend it as a day to relax and catch up, watch movies, go to friends, eat Chinese food, have family over or just simply listen to Christmas music and read the ads for the after-Christmas sales.


Interesting. That’s what my wife and I did. And we’re Christians. I see every day as Christmas and Easter.

.
How many ‘christians’ do you know that follow the example set by Yeshua and his disciples? - My guess would be zero.

The different Christian sects have been quibbling amongst themselves and with the Jewish for so long they never saw the Islam enemy coming until it hit them in the face. And yes, as a Christian I am fully aware Jesus was Jewish. I also keep Israel in my prayers.
