[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Christian and there are Magas who claim to be Christian while supporting Trump’s agenda of anti-immigration, tax cuts for the rich, and cutting social services. Mormons claim to be Christian. It’s not for me to say they’re not Christian, even if Maga’s are following the antithesis of Christ’s teachings. I figure maybe they’ll “see the light” one day and embrace the real message. [/quote]

But they all believe in Christ … saying you don’t think MAGAs are Christian because they don’t support social services is far different from saying someone who believes Christ is the Messiah is Christian, not Jewish.

Sometimes I just think people are really stupid. Would like to believe that is the case here, instead of being this hostile towards Judaism. [/quote]

I don’t think discussing Judaism is hostile. We see plenty of threads openly hostile to religion here: calling all religious people in a religion pedophiles, sex abusers, bigots, homophobes, implying religious people are less educated, etc, and those threads and comments stand. Remember the multiple threads based on the Yellowstone tv show that were used as evidence of Catholics abusing Native American children? Even after it was proven the United States government was the entity that was responsible for schools like that, ran schools like that, and that many different kind of religious organizations and religious denominations ran such schools, the threads and posters had no problem attacking Catholic people about the schools. ( I am not Catholic.)

I don’t think asking questions about a religion is hostility. Nobody is saying Jewish people can’t have their own rules or their rules are wrong. It just doesn’t make any sense. A large portion of Jewish people are seemingly atheist and accepted as religious Jews. That continues to not make sense and defies logic. Yet Messianic Jews are considered not to be Jews, and face discrimination and persecution in Israel. (I am not a Messianic Jew, I just saw that they are not only not accepted, but are discriminated against and treated as outsiders, outcasts, and aren’t allowed to practice their religion in peace.

Jewish extremists try to interrupt Messianic Jewish event in Jerusalem
Protesters attempt to break into main hall, block participants from getting to convention; police arrest activist for allegedly attacking officer

“Jewish extremists attempted to disrupt a convention of Messianic Jews in Jerusalem on Thursday. Activists from the Lehava organization, which opposes interfaith and interethnic relationships and marriages, and Or l’Achim, an organization that tries to counter Christian proselytization in Israel, tried to block participants from attending the event and attempted to break into the main hall at the Clal Center.

Police were called to the event to disperse the protesters and ensure the safety of the event. One person was arrested for allegedly attacking police at the event.

In a statement, police vowed to preserve freedom of expression and protest, “but not illegal public disturbances and rioting.”

The event at the Clal Center was hosted by the Messianic Jewish Alliance of Israel.

Messianic Judaism is a movement that combines Jewish tradition and practice with the belief that Jesus Christ is the coming messiah. It is considered outside the fold by all mainstream Jewish denominations, who say the ideology directly contradicts many of the religion’s principal tenets.“

So there are Jewish people who consider interface and inter ethnic marriage in Israel and violently oppose people they disagree with (scary, because there is a thread on this board that says the same thing) and although belief that Jesus is the Son of God is outside the fold and directly contradicts many of the religion’s principal tenets, so does atheism. Believing no God exists is outside the fold and directly contradicts many (if not most) of Jewish religious tenets. Yet atheist Jews are considered Jews. It doesn’t make sense.
