Why do I never see or hear from the Jewish (the religion, not ethnicity)?

Several of us will pop up when we see the word Jewish, Judaism, Torah, etc. in the question.  I for example just found your question by putting the word "Jewish" in the search for open questions.  I used to scroll through all the questions but that has become too tedious lately and I don't answer on Christian or general Bible matters because I have no need to impose my beliefs on anyone else. \n\nPersonally I think it's time there were subcategories under R&S, so that we can all have a forum to discuss things without constantly being interrupted by people who are not respectful.  To me that's like someone going into a section on mathematics and saying "i hate math".  If you don't like the topic, just stay away.  For example when someone asks a question about Jesus, I don't think it's necessary for someone atheist to comment, "he's a figment of your imagination" and by the same token I as a Jew, would NOT comment "he's not the messiah" even if that's what I believe.  I don't feel it's my place and it is not relevant to the question being asked. Everyone has a right to their beliefs and I don't need to chime in with my opinion every two seconds.  In fact the ones who do this are probably insecure with their belief systems and feel a need to be loud about it.   \n\nAnd for questions asked about Judaism I only answer the ones asked respectfully.  You can tell when someone really wants to know or they just want to spout their own prejudices and are not open to answers. If you scroll through my answers you can see I have answered many questions on Judaism that were asked in a thoughtful and respectful manner.\n\nWell, I hope that answers your question somewhat... :)

He does come to us. He does talk to us. You are missing it. For you sake, I hope one day you will wonder why. Asking questions is a good start. The one you have ask is going in the wrong direction.  You must ask yourself: 'but , what if the Bible is true'? Now try to answer that. \nYou are just as special to God as Abraham was. The Bible says that Abraham "believed God", and that alone made him righteous. Abraham was no saint. That means that God has time for you. Do you, for him?

Jews do have limited access to the temple mount but that is for several reasons. First the Arabs there are not the friendliest kind of people in the world and as much as I would like to kick them off. I don’t want to start world war three either. Second the Jews restrict them selves from going on to the temple mount because it is considered very holy and all Jews today are ritually impure. (one comes impure by coming in contact or in the same building as a dead Jew).And for reasons that are too long to explain we don’t have the ability at this time to become pure. So most choose not to go up their.

I am not Jewish, but I would suggest you talk to your love. If he is religious, and you are willing to convert, and take the classes, it would be a loving indication of your commitment, so you can get married in the temple.

HE was Jewish.  Jewish people arent black.\n\nBut, it doesnt matter "what color" HIS skin was, it was the MESSAGE that was important...\n\nHE was the SON of GOD and HE  was here to die for our Sins!!  Repent Ye and be Baptised in the Name of the FATHER, SON, and Holy Spirit...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

Jews are hated by some not for their religion but mainly becasue of the politics going around in middle east and occupation, violance, bulldozing of houses, terrorism etc. etc. Actually prophet of Islam, had a very good relationship with jews who were not fighting with him to get rid of him. He used to visit Jews when invited or when they are sick etc.

That is about my perception as well. As a Jew I cannot fathom how Christianity developed out of Judaism. The Christian god cannot be the same as in Judaism the difference are just to staggering.

Jesus came to the world first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles.\nThe only thing that holds Jews back is there lack of belief in Jesus.\nChristians do not ignore the teachings and the rules that God laid out for His people; the children of Israel.  We are, after all, adopted into His family once we accept Christ.\nChristians acknowledge both the old and the new testament.  We teach and learn out of the old and new testament.\nAfter all, it is very difficult to completely understand then new testament until you have read the old.\nI have never been to sure about the holiday of Hannukah, or what purpose is behind it (how it is Biblically grounded) but my church acknowledges the old testement originated practice of the holy convocation every year.

Uh, you're looking in the wrong place.  Half these people, if not more, are Christian.  Find a local Jewish community, and talk to *them* about getting started in their religion.

Jews do not believe Jesus is the Messiah, so yes, they are still waiting on him or her.\n\nThey believe in a Covenant with God as seen in the Ten Commandments, the Noahide Commandments, and the laws expressed in the rest of the Torah (First Five Books of the Bible.)\n\nThey believe in one God and deny all other gods. (That used to be a big deal, not so much anymore.) (BTW, Allah, Jewish God, and Christian God are generally accepted as being the same or a similar being, just worshipped differently.)

I am Jewish and it is a religion. Not a race.

It's a religion.  The fact that many Jews share the same apperance is that is not a prosteltyzing religion and it has not spread much outside of its original followers.

The Jews are and always will be God's chosen people. Unfortunately because of this, the powers of spiritual darkness in the world have targeted Judaism for that very reason. As a Christian, I for one have to say thank you, you have given us the Patriarchs as an example. God Bless you.

As a jewish person, i do not "hate" you because you are christian or from lebanon. You are an individual equal to me in every way shape and form. Welcome to america, go out and do the very best you can, let people judge you from your actions and words, not from where you came from.

What's so ironic, that there can be a gay jew or that jews can by ignorant homophobes just like the rest of people?\n\nJewish people are quite adept at reverse discrimination.  Don't believe me?  Try and marry one!\n\nIncidentally, Orthodox Jews are kind of ****.  They don't really get along with the rest of Jews in Israel or outside of Israel anyway.  Not so dissimilar from America's religious right.
