Question for Jewish people:?
352462
Jewish people pray.  They just don't pray to Jesus Christ because they don't believe he is the son of God.  They just pray to God directly.\n\nAs for being uncomfortable with mentioning Jesus, tolerant people aren't uncomfortable with anyone expressing their religious beliefs - it's being put in a position where you are either forced to say a prayer you don't believe in, or put in a position where you are made to stand out because you believe in something different.  Imagine going to a place where everyone, say, prayed to Satan - you wouldn't want to say the prayer, right?  And if everyday you were surrounded by people that wanted to pray to Satan several times a day, you might get a little uncomfortable, right?\n\nWhether you're the only woman in a group of men, or the only black person with all whites, or the only Jew with all Christians, constantly being reminded that you are the minority and different from the group, and having the group consistently engage in activities which exclude you, or seem inconsiderate of your difference, may test a person's patience and make them a little less tolerant than they should be.\n\nDoes that make sense? \n\nWhat was the movie?\n\nAnd see what FloridaGurl said above - that's the kind of intolerant holier than thou attitude that makes people of other faiths uncomfortable and agitated.

Jewish people do discuss their opinion on the immigration issue.  I don't live in the United States at the moment so I'm a bit out of the loop on this issue, but I tend to be very compassionate towards illegal immigrants.  I think it's important to remember that we were all created in the image of G-d, that all people are entitled to live with dignity, and that we should try to think of what is moral and what is just, and then make that into a legal reality.  Sometimes laws are not just.  One of the central ideas in Judaism is that it's our duty to create a more just world.

I am older, my children are grown, but I still would not want to be involved with someone who is not Jewish.  I want someone to go to Jewish classes and discussion groups with.  I want someone to can relate to how I feel about my people and my faith.\n\nI guess I even go one stop farther--------I would prefer a Sephardi or Mizrahi Jew (one from the Mediterranean or the Mid-east).  I relate better to them than I do to an Ashkenazi Jew (from Europe).

I suggest you guys try and ignore this mouthbreather.  He asks the same questions on Judaism over and over again, with slightly different (though consistently biased and misleading) wording. If you don't believe me, all I can say is that you can verify this for yourselves.  I sincerely doubt that he is here to learn anything, at least in this area (though I feel obliged to at least commend him on his appropriate choice of screenname).\n\nThis guy's online hobby is something called Jew-baiting.  So don't take the bait, as it were, by responding on his terms and lending legitimacy to his line of questioning (which is shallow and insensitive at best, or, more likely from what I've seen, deliberate bigotry).  He has a real problem with Jews.  I don't know if it stems from a negative personal experience with Jews, or if he was raised by klansmen, or what.  But he keeps asking these same questions, and when confronted with information that contradicts his assumptions, he becomes belligerent and disregards the new information anyway.\n\nI once explained to him that he was mistaken in his assertion that a Jew had to have "Jewish blood" because conversion has a history going back through biblical history, all the way to the first Hebrew himself.  This did not sway him in his irrational belief.  And if someone here were to point out that calling Judaism a "cult of ancestor worship" is inaccurate because\n\na) it's not considered a cult\n\nand\n\nb) worshipping anything other than G-d, one's ancestors included, is the most severe form of blasphemy according to Judaism\n\nI highly doubt this gentleman would be swayed on either point.  My advice is not to waste your time.  There are plenty of people on here asking questions about Judaism because they actually want to learn.  If you are qualified to answer, answer those people.  They'll actually benefit from it.

I hear a lot of people bashing the Jewish people, mostly out of jealousy, they see how, as a whole, blessed and prosperous the Jewish people are- I see that there is a higher intelligence and higher rate of success amongst the Jewish people-  I truly believe this is because the Jewish people as a whole take God's instructions seriously, they do not take for granted the covenant that God made with Abraham.  God created the world with certain laws and principles in motion and obedience to God's word brings blessing and I believe that this is what has happened amongst the Jewish people.   For the rest of the world, I believe that God made a way for us to be grafted in- this is described in the Bible but basically, having a respect for the Jewish people, seeing that the ways they are set apart as a Holy people are for a reason and recognizing the picture of the Messiah in those ways rather than looking down on them, opens the door for the same blessing for the gentiles as well.

The InterMountain Jewish News published a survey back in 1988 that showed that some %12 percent of people who were born Jewish were now attending Christians churches. And there survey did not appear to take into account the number of those who attend Messianic Jewish synagogues. And considering the fact that there was only 1 Messianic Congregation in town back then and now there are about 12, I would guess that the number has been increasing.\n\nAs to those who claim that Jews stop being Jews if they believe Yeshua to be Messiah need to stop and think. Do such people suddenly become Chinese? No, of course not!  If they "repent" of their belief in Yeshua and go to Orthodox Judaism, are they going to be required to undergo another circumcision and full conversion?  No of course not!\n\nFurthermore, Christians who make such claims don't read their own Bible:\n\nRo 11:1 I say then, Did not God put away His people? Let it not be said! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.\n\nPhp 3:5  I was circumcised the eighth day, I am of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews. As regards the Torah, a Pharisee; 6  concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; regarding the righteousness in the Torah, blameless.

I believe the people that answered above are actually antisemitic and don't want to believe what you are saying. \nThis is a sad world we live in when they are willing to suffer as long as they can turn a blind eye towards truth.

I was raised as a Christian for safety reasons, but when my family moved to Florida we openly practiced Judaism again. \n\nI have no love for my fellow "Jews," most of whom have are converts, or are of mixed descent. The communities in Florida such as the Chabad on the Space Coast, and Temple Israel which is a reformed synagogue farther inland were as welcoming as a hornets nest. \n\nMy family and I tried to fit into their way of thinking, but they never accepted us.\n\nWe are Jews by birthright, and my family's lineage is pure on both my paternal and maternal sides. Unfortunately we weren't accepted by the Chabad because our birthright was not purchased, and the Reformed temple wouldn't accept us because most of the congregation had Nazi blood and was run by the daughter of a high level Nazi official. \n\nThere are very few left today are can truly be called Jews (despite what you may believe it is a birthright NOT a religion, and it takes ten generations/100 years before a convert's family/descendents are considered Jews). Unfortunately those that remain are well hidden and very far between.\n\nI don't believe that this generation's "Jew Haters" actually know who they hate. Their anger is simply directed at the group most obvious to them, and this is often their own people who have simply forgotten their past. \n\nFrom what I have seen, it is not the Nazis, or even the KKK and other such radical groups that cause most of the problems. It is the tightly-nit and inbred communities currently posing as Jews that create the hostility. They are unwilling to accept those who are not raised with their mindset, and while refusing to allow acceptance, try to force people to stay. \n\nMy family left Florida because we were not accepted by the Local "Jewish communities," they closed off the jobs, and it was near impossible to find work. Now that we have left they are the biggest problem. We are still alive and safe, but it is only by Hashem's hand and his alone that we survived the trip. \n\nI am sorry if I have offended anyone, but Nazis and other such groups are no longer the greatest threat to "True Jews", they are only the most publicized. It is the communities of Nazi-Jew descendents, Lilith worshipping converts, and mumzirm who pose as Jews that have become the true Jew haters. They are also the reason I have little respect for other "Jews" and no concern about the welfare of such people.

I will explain this in full detail with proof if you don't mind. \n\nOK, in the Bible we have people known as Jews in the N.T. If you look in Strong's concordance under the word Jew. It will state "a member of the tribe of Judah"(only). So that is what the word means in the Bible, a seed of Judah or people from Judea. It's found in 3062 and 3064 of Strong's concordance which state that the word Jew only means Judah. Jew is Old English for the tribe of Judah which is "Lewe".\n\nSo if someone is claiming to be a Jew then they are claiming to be a seed of Judah, Jacobs 4th son. Today we call people Jews because their religion is Judaism or their mom is Jewish thus she practice Judaism. As you can see the modern term, it means people who convert to the religion of Judaism, and not being a seed of Judah.\n\nRev 3:9 and 2:9 state their will be those who claim to be Jews(Judahites thus Israelites) and are not, but do lie" If you call you self a Jew, then you claim to be of Judah. But if you convert it don't change your heritage, you are still a German, Nigerian, or Mexican of Jewish faith. The Messiah say himself that those people who call themselves Jew base on the modern definition are Not Judahites but do lie.\n\nWho are the people who claim to be Jews thus Israelites, they don't claim to be a seed of Israel! We know them as Jews? What else is mention about them base on the scriptures? They don't believe Jesus is the Messiah.\n\n1 John2:22 Who is the LIAR but he who denies that Jesus is the Messiah...\n2John 1:7 Many DECIEVERS have gone out into the world; they do not confess the coming of Jesus the Messiah in the flesh. This is THE DECIEVER and the ANTICHRIST
