A question for practicing Jews, hijacked religion?

Question

Group: Guests






I have a question for Jews. If I was a Jew, I think I would feel as though billions of people in the world had hijacked my religion. According to Abrahamaic tradtion, God's covenant was with Jews. Others have adopted the Jewish writings, added to them and created their own religions all stemming from God's covenant with the Jews. To make matters worse, these "Jew" wannabees (use the Jewish scripture for their own religion), believe the Jews are wrong and their religion, developed primarily from Judaism, is the correct one.

Is this not a huge insult to Jews or am I seeing it all wrong here?

Answer 1

You have correctly expressed the feelings of many modern Jews.
The worst part is when non-Jews misinterpret our texts, then tell us we are the ones who have misinterpreted, or they don't understand what we believe, then tell us what we believe (what they *think* we believe) is wrong.
Yes, "hijacked" is a loaded word, but it means "stolen, diverted", so I think your usage isn't inappropriate, given the question you pose.
Is it offensive? I'd say so.
However, after 2000 years of this, Jews have pretty much gotten to the point where we have learned to ignore it, as long as we are allowed to worship and live as we choose. Just leave us alone!

Answer 2

nicely, this may be a Jewish delusion, which isn't genuine in any respect. even however the three religions have issues in undemanding, in fact, they're very diverse from one yet another. followers of Judaism make an somewhat, very small extensive type. whilst in comparison with Christianity & Islam. info confirmed that human beings very almost by no skill convert to Judaism, because of the fact of its discriminatory racist ideals, that Jews are "chosen" whilst different all human beings is scum, this may be a retarded thought that belongs to the jungle. many all human beings is Christians because of the fact Christianity delivers to forgive your sins "for loose", so people who prefer to sin, and nevertheless stick to a faith pick Christianity, that's stuffed with illogical ideals and nonsense. on the different hand, the Islamic ideals sums the advantages in very almost all religions, Islam is logical, honest and makes lots experience. Islam makes anybody equivalent, and furnish a suited rules for existence. Islam is the genuine faith of all previous messengers and prophets who have been sent to human beings interior the previous, because of the fact Adam & Even, passing by way of Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. Islam "incredibly" have faith in all messengers and scriptures, no longer the guy-made corrupted books that are got here upon those days.

Answer 3

Jews aren't allowed to practice their religion anymore?
I hope you're not in the law enforcement business. I don't think you know what "hijacked" means.
