To tell you the truth, judaism has been slowly dissoving over the last 2 generations. They are almost at the point where they are simply another denomination of christianity. They are fully integrated in every christian country in the world and intermix and intermarry (it's something like 50% intermarry now). Most "jews" in the western world are actually jews in name only, having abandoned the religion itself. They are non-religious jews if you will. Many convert to christianity and many more simply keep no specific faith. There is no longer any cultural seperation, is my point. Does being jewish have any more meaning that being an Methodist vs being a Presbyterian if you are related to these groups by ties of blood and marriage? No, it doesn't.

Questions such as this one are a little perplexing to me, Why is this even an issue, of course I myself have a great admiration for all the Jewish people and certainly would not even think of trying to convert them to Christianity, the Lord Himself created them first, and He gave them His anointing and His Blessings, and from all our Jewish friends we, as Christians, now have the Word of God through the Torah and the Bible, Torah and Bible being the same, in this day and age, we really need to watch the words that come from our mouth and speak healthy loving kind words about all Jews , Muslims, and Christians, is it so difficult to try to be more tolerant of one another, I pray we all change our views about who's wrong and who's right, the Lord is the only one who can guide us and Bless us, so our thoughts about other faiths need to be pure, kind and loving for all, that is what I believe the Lord would expect of us.

I like Jews and Judaism has been, thank God, growing stronger. More Jewish children attending religious schools and attendance at synagogue up. What a great time to be a religious Jew. If only world ignorance could be stamped out as easily.

Actually many Jewish people are returning to the faith... there was a slump in the 80's, but most of them are returning. Also, there are quite a few people whose ancestors were Jewish, who have found this out, and are converting back... ranging from a couple of generations to 500 years ago (the "conversos" in the the American Southwest, who are descended from people who converted to Catholicism to avoid torture and death during the Inquisition). Almost every Jewish temple, especially Reform and Reconstructionist temples, have regular "b'nai mitzvah" classes for adult converts.
Jewish scripture, taken in the full spirit and history of the text, absolutely does not allow for Christian belief structures. Christianity is a Greco-Roman dying-god cycle faith that grafted on Hebrew history and text to justify worshiping a Jewish man. Starting with Paul and the "dreams" that removed Jewish law from Christian practice, through the scripture selection process that set the Christian testament, through the continued adoption of pagan rituals to accomodate the needs of new converts, Christianity has distanced itself thoroughly from its origins. The Jews who where Jesus' initial followers returned to pure Judaism when he failed to return within a century after his death. In Judaism, a Messiah is one who brings freedom to the Jewish people and peace to the land of Israel, such as Moses, Cyrus the Persian, etc. There have been several Messiahs in Jewish history. Jesus did NOT bring freedom to the Jewish people and peace to the land of Israel. Also, Jews respect and admire Messiahs, they do not worship them.
Jews who convert to Christianity usually have issues with their parents and/or lack of spiritual instruction (parenting issue), but would rather blame the faith than their parents; they also sometimes convert out of love for a spouse...usually "lip service" for the sake of harmony in the home. Ethnic Jews who do not practice a religion also may have had issues with their parents, or lack of spiritual instruction. Usually when you ask them what was wrong with being Jewish, they bring up problems with too much of a focus on rituals without enough connection to spirituality, parents not being there for them, etc.

Yes I do and I am a Christian. It's clearly a matter of choice if they want to become Christians.

I refuse to group all the people who happen to follow one religion, together. This incites hatred and violence. It is these over generalizations that breed terrorism and hate crimes. No one should be judged on the basis of their religion (or skin color, etc). I believe in respecting others for what they are.
