Wasn’t Jesus a Jew? His first followers were Jews. In fact, I think one of the first big “debates” among Jesus’ followers were whether and/or to what extent goyim had to learn and follow Jewish Law to be a member of The Way.

Christians really need to get in touch with their Jewish roots, and Jews ought to take seriously Jesus’ claim to be their Messiah.

I always found the Council at Antioch Epistle regarding circumcision unintentionally humorous kind of like a Lenny Bruce bit.

Are Jews descendants of the tribe of Judah, or practitioners of Judaism?
Would this left-winger have any objection to Jews for Atheism?

What a bunch of baloney. ALL of the early disciples of Jesus, including Jesus Himself
were observant Jews.

The Jews are blinded, Paul says, so I wouldn't be too hard on them.

However, they will get to Heaven through Jesus, or they wont get there at all.

"Jews ought to take seriously Jesus’ claim to be their Messiah."

We have thanks, and he isnt the one.
