Can you see that no other faith or belief system can impact the people of the earth like Jesus Christ...

People do not fear Muslims who try to convert them, although they fear the violence of conversion through Jihad but not Islam’s doctrines, no one fears Mormonism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Wiccan, Scientology, just Jesus Christ..

IMHO and I mean this resepctfully, if the Orthodox Jews were truly comfortable with what they believe, they would not fear Messianic Jews, or Christians at all...They would not fear there motives, they would not feel threatened in thier heart, soul and mind...But somehow *Jesus Christ* does affect them even if it is in the negative....

“They were looking for a *Warrior* from GOD who would free them from Roman Opression, they were not looking for a Messiah that brought love...”

1) Jesus never represented himself as a Messiah, so the idea that Jews rejected him as such is historically inaccurate.

2) Jews know little of the Messiah, only that the arrival will cause certain things to happen. None happened.

3) Ascribing Jews an anti-love, warrior seeking agenda is rather strange and doesn’t fit anything in the Talmud regarding Messiach prophecies.

4) Your concept of Orthodox Jews cowering in fear of bible thumping evangelism is offensive as can be to all sides. Orthodox Jews aren’t particularly fond of secularism or Islamism, or Buddhism either. is that testament to the love of Jesus that you think fear is a covert sign of respect and awe? Seriously? This again mimics the tone Muslims speak of Muhammed. Just saying.
