Is this true about Christians?

Question

Certain Christian sects believe that their messiah will only return when the Jews accept him. Throughout history Jews have been threatened with death, torture and expulsion if they don't convert. More recently, missionaries targeted the weak of our community - the elderly, new immigrants, and the underprivileged - in an attempt to exploit their vulnerability. All these attempts have had little or no success. Whether religious or not, Jews are reluctant to give up their Jewishness.

So they came up with a new ploy. Rather than demand conversion, they offered Jews to remain Jewish, and even "complete" their Jewishness by accepting Jesus. Thus Jews for Jesus was born.

This is a movement of non-Jews who pose as Jews by taking on Jewish names. They do usually have a token Jewish member, who is invariably either ignorant of Judaism at best or psychologically imbalanced at worst. They are a sham.

I'm asking if it's true....it's an article by a Rabbi............I don't know if it's true cause I don't know Christianity.

I'm trying to believe in Yeshua and you all are doing a "fine" job of helping................these articles are the reason why I don't leave my beliefs. But I don't know where to find something to read about Yeshua...................YOU see how I'm so torn now???????????????????

I'm so freakin fed up with BLAH this BLAH that.....YESHUA YESHUA where is he, didn't he come to save me? Why don't my people believe in him??????????????????? Grrrrrrrrrr I want to pull my hair out!!! Screw Christianity anyways they're filled with pagan filth anyways..........

Answer 1

Even your FIRST sentence is wrong,............

Answer 2

Not entirely.Yes,the Roman Catholic Church had a big hand in persecution of Jews.
I don't think missionaries are 'expoiting the weak' when they minister to people.They have had some success.
In 1967 there were no Messianic Jewish synagogues in the world.There are now over 350,and over 1 million Jewish believers in Jesus in the United States alone.
Believing that Jesus is the Messiah is not a ploy or a sham.

Here is some proof that Jesus was the Messiah.I can't force you to read it,but I hope you do.

Answer 3

If you are Jewish than you should know better than me the covenant God made with Abraham. Every time the Jew strayed from God into idolatry they had God's judgement upon them. When they were faithful to God, they received His blessing. God is not finished with the Jews. As far as Jew turning to Christianity, that is not new it happened in Jesus day. All his apostles were Jewish and so was Paul, many converted to Christianity.That is not new. God will not be fooled by any ploy of man.The Messiah will return on His timing not man's.

Answer 4

Think about your first line... Certain Christian SECTS. There inlies your problem. Christian SECTS are not mainstream. They are extremists who believe as they wish and usually Quote passages as it suits their agenda. Christian denominations on the other hand have an understanding of the text and can reason the truth. True Christians believe that the Messiah will return with or with out Jewish acceptance and will indeed raise us all (Jewish and Christian, Muslim and Athiest). Anyone who say otherwise lies or knows not the truth.

Answer 5

Well, the first Christians were Jews. To assume that someone isn't Jewish just because they accept the Jewish Messiah (i.e., Jesus, or Yeshua) is simply showing your own bias that you accuse Christians of having. That's hypocrisy.

Plus, no legit Christian would force anyone to become a Christian. It's a personal decision. And Jesus is coming when its His time. We can't do anything to hasten it.

Answer 6

Don't sweat it. Only about 5% of so-called Jews are actually Jewish.

Jews for Jesus a sham???-I did not know that? All the Jews (Messianic) that I know are Jew by blood, and real serious devout Christians.


EDIT: BTW, I believe anyone who would decieve some unsuspecting person in order to get them to convert (to anything) would be in deep sin.

Answer 7

not rue.. bible is plain about that.
orthodox jews don't accept jews--messiance jew do accept jesus.

after jesus returns for church--this taking away or rapture as some calls it---orthodox jews will be given chance during 7 year tribulation (144,000-- 12,000 per tribe-) to preach and teach jesus. can accept him or not...will he returns for judgment and end of world after 7 year tribulatins--- its hell of else....for jews or anyone who has rejected christ.

jews are strong in faith--Torah---why would one give up God any more than say islam? They worship same God but follow different beliefs........

matters not about shams or put-ons---
Jewish beliefs bleed thru....

Answer 8

I don't know of any Christian sect that believes the Messiah will only return when the Jews accept him. Where did you come up with that?

Answer 9

Jews for Jesus is a cult and an oxymoron. They do not speak what the Shepherd teaches. They are manipulative and dangerous. Beware!

Answer 10

I hear alot of angst in your question, and I have no doubt it is merited. I am Jewish too. My father's people were persecuted out of Spain, and my mothers people out of Austria. My grandmother's parents lost their lives, and she was adopted by Christians, so I was raised Christian.

For almost two thousand years our people have fulfilled the prophecy in 1 2 Chron 7:19-20 "But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations." KJV

Our error is that we forsook the law of God and instead followed the traditions of the elders, the teachings of the Talmud from Babylon. God never said to regard the Gemara, He never told us to formulate Midrashim, He told us to obey Torah.

I challenge you to read Jesus. You will discover that Jesus entire ministry focused on the Jew first. He did nothing contrary to the Law of God. Instead, he pointed to Torah!

Jesus did not go to the gentiles. When gentiles came to him he often ignored them, but showed mercy when they showed contrition of heart and faith of spirit. When gentiles were brought to Jesus by the disciple Andrew, Jesus changed the subject and did not receive them.

It was the rejection of our stiff-necked hard hearted leaders who rejected our promised messiah who are to blame for our people's misery for 2,000 years.

I'm not detracting from the faithlessness of organized Christendom (so called) who heaped on to make things worse, but they are no reason to continue in unfaithfulness.

Now that we have been gathered back into our own land, we know the time of our dispersion is over. God is once again moving in our midst, and it's time for us to turn our eyes back upon our God and his Chosen one.

Now is not the time for bitter recriminations and anger, now is the time to be what we are called to be. The Chosen People of God.

Answer 11

I think so...btw, not certain sects are awaiting the messiah, all of Christianity is awaiting the second return!
