Don't Christians realize that taking a Jew from his faith, or diminishing the Jewish faith is a sin?

Question

I have tried to make a statement on these issues raised by several of the questioners, about the sanctity of the Jewish faith and of His word, in the Tanach, called by gentiles the "old testement". Yahoo delited my commets, so I am trying this one last time.
Judaism is a faith based on His word, Oral and written. The New Testement is not part of the Bible as Jews see it.
Reasons are:1.Deu. 4:39 states it well;"Be sure you know and take it to heart that I, the L-rd, am G-d in the heavens above, the earth benieth and in the seas, and there exists none else. (Translations as the KJV has the words wrong}
2.Idolitry is told us, by G-d, to be the worship of anything created, Thus, the pagan idea of a god come to earth to save the day is good for Mighty Mouse, but not for one who belives what He says.
3.As shown by the Tanach, you are as "saved" as we, if you do His will. Here, you may wish to look up the Noahchide
covenant, not distroy His people. Amen!

Answer 1

As you state, it is indeed offensive, to be told, you got it all wrong.
Cast not a stumbling block before thy neighbor. All good Jews are trying to do God's will.
Christians did not take anything from Jews, except the belief in one God and the same Oral and written traditions that Jews use.
Is not the very existence of Christianity therefore, diminishing the Jewish faith and considered to be sinful and idolutrous to Judaism?
This belief is also a diminshment to the Christian faith, so must also be sinful. If pushed in your face it is an insult.
That is why I think we should try to leave people be.

Answer 2

This is what happens when you try to understand God's mind when all you have to work with is a carnal mind.

Jesus came to set the captives free, both Jew and Gentile.

When it comes right down to it, the only reason why you choose not to believe is that you know if you did, you would have to change your life style in some way.
You don’t like the idea of handing over your life to someone else whose going to tell you what you can and can not do.
Bottom line is you want to run your life as you see fit.
Well fine, go ahead and be your own boss; sooner or later you’re going to get sick and tired of constantly getting yourself into one mess after another. When you’ve finally had enough of yourself, Jesus will be there to help you pick up the pieces of your broken shattered life and give you the joyful, peaceful life you could have had all along.

Answer 3

Yes, I can understand how a devout Jew would truly believe that converting to another faith would be sinful, but equally consider this: that a devout Christian, or even a Muslim, believes that HIS faith is the correct one, and wishes for all people to join it.

As a Christian, it would deeply pain and sadden me to see a fellow brother in Christ leave the faith for something else, and I would earnestly pray for his return.

See how we share the same devoutness?

God bless you, and Happy Hanuka (forgive spelling).

Answer 4

Christianity completes the imperfect, narrow, and ethnic faith of Judaism.

Judaism has wonderful insights--that God is one, that he made us to live in perfect happiness with him, that happiness requires obedience to his law, exemplified in the Noahide laws and the Ten Commandments. Judaism first realized the critical importance of restricting sex to marriage:

The great prophets of Judaism, especially Isaiah, looked for a time when God would come among us to show us the full meaning of his love.

Unfortunately, Jewish interpreters reduced God's great laws to hundreds of legalistic traps, and they reduced the great vision of the coming Messiah to a worldly ruler, much like Muhammad. The world is seeing what kind of terrors that leads to.

Answer 5

No one is taking the Jewish from their faith, but Christians recognize Jesus as the Messiah, the son of God sent into a world of sin, yet never partook of it. Then, selflessly died so that we, as sinners, could receive forgiveness for our sins from God by repenting and turning from it.

Answer 6

That is the problem with the Jewish faith, the addition of the 'oral' law.
Jesus, a devout Jew, rightly condemned the Jews for their 'oral tradition' which made the word of God invalid.

Matthew 15:1 Then there came to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying: 2 “Why is it your disciples overstep the tradition of the men of former times? For example, they do not wash their hands when about to eat a meal.”

3 In reply he said to them: “Why is it YOU also overstep the commandment of God because of YOUR tradition? 4 For example, God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘Let him that reviles father or mother end up in death.’ 5 But YOU say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother: “Whatever I have by which you might get benefit from me is a gift dedicated to God,” 6 he must not honor his father at all.’ And so YOU have made the word of God invalid because of YOUR tradition. 7 YOU hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about YOU, when he said, 8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.’” 10 With that he called the crowd near and said to them: “Listen and get the sense of it: 11 Not what enters into [his] mouth defiles a man; but it is what proceeds out of [his] mouth that defiles a man.”

At this verse, Jesus clearly is quoting the written law, and exposing the Jews for their oral tradition that had made the written word invalid.
The proof that the Jews broke forever their covenant with God, is the blatant fact that Israel has never been an autonomous country with the priest and temple arrangement since before they were taken into captivity in Babylon.

The current state of Israel, is a political farce, created by men, that has absolutely nothing to do with the Kingdom of Israel from the Bible.
There is absolutely no way that the current state of Israel has any covenant with the Creator of the universe, it is clearly a bastardization that will be wiped away with the nations when Jehovah destroys the world's governments.
I wish the Muslims would take note of this, because they have absolutely no need to fight against modern Israel, Jehovah will wipe it out himself.

Answer 7

I have no desire or intention to take any Jew from his or her faith. Jesus was a practicing Jew. I would love to see Jews embrace their faith and accept Jesus as their Messiah. I have the greatest respect and admiration for Jews and Jewish laws and traditions.

Answer 8

The Jews are still looking for the Messiah. They don't see Jesus as being the Messiah because they want to see the Lion that will be the won that destroys their enemy's at the last days, when the world will be purified with fire. They don't except Jesus for he first came to save their souls. as the lamb.

Answer 9

I have no desire, nor have I ever, to 'take' a Jewish person from his or her faith.

Salvation is from the Jews - I am eternally grateful to them and to their Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Answer 10

Jesus is The Savior, The Mesiah, You cannot take sin in front of God.
