CHRISTIANS: Are you aware of the evidence?

Question

God says that Jews are the Chosen People.
Jesus and his deciples were Jewish.
Jews wrote the OT (the inspired word of God).

Why don't all Christians convert to Judaism, if not for anti-semitism?

Answer 1

I think Ann Coulter said recently "Christians are perfected Jews". You probably won't get many to say this out loud, but that pretty much cuts to the heart of it.

I think they are all nuts.

Answer 2

That was pretty much covered by the apostles when the Early Church was being started. The Christian Jews were insisting that the Gentile converts get circumcised and obey the dietary laws, etc. There were meetings and letters back and forth between the churches, documented in the epistles of the New Testament. Clearly, the outcome of this discussion under the guidance of the Holy Spirit is that since we are saved by the grace of Jesus Christ and not works, keeping the Jewish law was not necessary for Christians.

Read the New Testament.

Answer 3

Because when the Jews rejected Christ in Acts chapter 7,

God went to us through our very own apostle, the apostle Paul

Romans thru Philemon is for us NOW

Anti semitism ?? no

Is this a serious question ?

Answer 4

Well, it's because Christ brought the One God to all people, not just the Jews. In Old Testament times the Jews were the chosen people, meaning that non-Jews were not chosen - they were excluded. Therefore, they worshipped their other Gods.

At the time, it was not generally thought that other gods didn't exist, it was thought that other gods were not as powerful as the One God. For example, if you read the ten commandments it says, "I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any other gods BEFORE ME." That implies there can be lesser gods. Non-jews worshipped lesser gods.

Now, when Christ came along, He said that God's gifts were not just for the chosen people, but for all people. That's why Christians view their religion as inclusionary, not exclusionary.

Answer 5

Cause Jews rejected Jesus. Gentiles were grafted in. I believe in Jesus and right now the Jews are still waiting for the messiah to come.

Answer 6

everything you say is true about the jewish roots of our faith...but the new testament exists too. and this is a fulfillment of what was predicted in the old testament.

the jews are still the chosen people.....God is still using them

Answer 7

It doesn't matter what evidence people present. People don't believe because they found compelling evidence for god - they do that after-the-fact and try to find evidence to support their faith instead of where the evidence leads to.

People don't believe for intelligent reasons, they believe for emotional reasons.

Answer 8

The Jews were of the old Covenant. On the Night of Jesus last Supper Jesus was celebrating the Passover was on this night which was the anniversary the The final plague on Egypt when an angel passed through the houses of the Pharohs and took the life of their first born sons after which Moses lead the Isrealites out of Egypt.

Jesus himself was infact a Jew. But He was also betrayed by the Jews and handed over to Other religious leaders. After him being humilated and killed His followers were no more known as Jews.
Jews now Deny Jesus was the savior because they dont want to believe they were the cause of his death. (Which really they werent. not modern day jews. Jesus was sent here to give his life regaurdless in my opinion.) (But their Denial is strange because of the fact that Germany and Hitler Denied Prosecuting Jews in the 40`s.. Interesting..,,)

Anyway that night of the "Last Supper" Jesus Started a new Convenant.

"Nisan 12 and 13

Jesus spends Nisan 12 quietly with his disciples. He realizes that the religious leaders desperately want to kill him, and he does not want them to hinder his Passover celebration the following evening. (Mark 14:1, 2) The next day, Nisan 13, people are busy making final arrangements for the Passover. Early in the afternoon, Jesus sends Peter and John to prepare the Passover for them in an upper room in Jerusalem. (Mark 14:12-16; Luke 22:8) A little before sundown, Jesus and the other ten apostles meet them there for their last Passover celebration.

Nisan 14, After Sundown


Jerusalem is shrouded in the soft light of dusk as the full moon rises over the Mount of Olives. In a large furnished room, Jesus and the 12 are reclining at a prepared table. "I have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer," he says. (Luke 22:14, 15) After a while the apostles are surprised to see Jesus get up and put his outer garments to one side. Taking a towel and a basin of water, he begins washing their feet. What an unforgettable lesson in humble service!—John 13:2-15.

However, Jesus knows that one of these men—Judas Iscariot—has already arranged to betray him to the religious leaders. Understandably, he becomes very distressed. "One of you will betray me," he reveals. The apostles are highly grieved at this. (Matthew 26:21, 22) After celebrating the Passover, Jesus tells Judas: "What you are doing get done more quickly."—John 13:27.

Once Judas has left, Jesus introduces a meal to commemorate his impending death. He takes a loaf of the unleavened bread, expresses thanks in prayer, breaks it, and instructs the 11 to partake. "This means my body," he says, "which is to be given in your behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me." He then takes a cup of red wine. After saying a blessing, he passes the cup to them, telling them to drink out of it. Jesus adds: "This means my 'blood of the covenant,' which is to be poured out in behalf of many for forgiveness of sins."—Luke 22:19, 20; Matthew 26:26-28.

During that momentous evening, Jesus teaches his faithful apostles many valuable lessons, and among these the importance of brotherly love. (John 13:34, 35) He assures them that they will receive a "helper," the holy spirit. It will bring back to their minds all the things he has told them. (John 14:26) Later in the evening, they must be very encouraged to hear Jesus say a fervent prayer in their behalf. (John, chapter 17) After singing songs of praise, they leave the upper room and follow Jesus out into the cool late-night air.


Crossing the Kidron Valley, Jesus and his apostles make their way to one of their favorite places, the garden of Gethsemane. (John 18:1, 2) While his apostles wait, Jesus goes a short distance away to pray. His emotional stress is more than words can describe as he earnestly petitions God for help. (Luke 22:44) The very thought of the reproach that would be heaped on his dear heavenly Father if he failed is agonizing to the extreme"

So that pretty much sums it up.But Jews still celebrate the passover in beliefs that all that never happened and that Jesus was just a man and not the messiah.

Answer 9

yes,i am aware and i am not a jew because they do not believe Jesus is the Messiah...also it states in the bible that the chosen ones will go awry.
