Bible Question: I've just been to a jewish website. They have some very good articles especially on upbringing and that sort of thing. However, their dislike for Christians is so deep and even devote some space on their website on how to not get converted. We, on the other hand do not spend half as much time on them. What am I missing here? |
Bible Answer: Ramy, From God's point of view, there is now no Jew or Gentile, there is no longer that circumcised/uncircumcised distinction. We are either "in Christ" or we are "in Adam". Of course the Jews would like to disregard the Christians, Jesus Christ is a stumbling block for them because they seek to be justified by the Law and attain their own righteousness apart from Christ. And there is much of Christianity that seeks to bring Judaism into the church. Paul calls this Galatianism. Paul makes it clear that the only thing that matters know is whether or not we have placed our faith and trust in Christ alone. In Christ, Jew and Gentile can become one - one new creation indwelt by Christ. Our "gospel", as Christians, should not be to preach anti-Jewish beliefs. Our responsibility, as Paul exhorts us, is to preach Christ. Preach the truth and let it dispel the darkness. Hope this helps. ChristLifer2001 |
