Also... you DID trash it... read your words, a quite distorted account of Christian claims and no attempt to even understand... you hate the Christian claims, admit it. Hate them to the bottom of your heart.
If Christians had the slightest reason to believe Christ was anything less than real, would they be trying to bless people having such hate? They wouldn’t. Why court the headache?
You’re proud of your faith, how it has kept you and your people (as you view it). How about being infinitely MORE proud of the Lord God for what He has done for you, even as you understand Him now? That’s what I mean by being jealous for His name. One’s name is one’s fame, in biblical terms. Consider Job. Job had to be taught a painful lesson so he wouldn’t get stuck in his worship life, as well as he was doing. God wanted Job to open up to a fuller reverence of the Lord in His glory. Once Job did, then Job was blessed twice as much.
Hate them to the bottom of your heart.
If you take my views in a hateful sense then you have gotten me wrong. I do not hate you or your Christian faith. My words are meant basically to say, look:
You accept Jesus and that is fine.
We do not feel that He fulfilled all the constraints required to be a Messiah. Again, He was revolutionary Jew, with a different approach that, well, caught on with the masses in the West. Jesus was a Jew and lived as a Jew. Christianity was born after he passed from this world.
As I stated before, our rejection of what is for you the Lord has enraged Christianity for 2 milennia. My people, the Chosen people have been targeted by other faiths for a very long time.
I can see you're getting all worked up, thinking I am attacking your position. I am not, I am, however rejecting your concept FOR ME, not for you and other Christians.
I think at a time where Islam is waging war on both you and me, that we need more dialog and less emotional hurt so, please give it a try, ok?
