@secondson saidI have no doubt that he does.
A note of caution: don't be so certain Rajk worships the Jesus of the Bible.
@secondson saidI think his assertions show a kind of inclusive generosity of spirit towards a fellow 'people of the book'; I don't think they are convoluted.
Goodness! If I'm not mistaken I think this is the first time I've seen you call Rajk out on his "peculiar assertions".
And peculiar they are, as well as convoluted.
@secondson saidThen you have to bear in mind that the Jews rejected Jesus and see him as a fake and an imposter. The country of Israel characterizes itself as the Jewish state.
God created the nation of Israel, and as far as I can see God has never stopped being the God of Israel.
When you say "Israel is God's country", which "God" are you talking about? The Christian one who you believe came down to Earth as Jesus, or are you talking about the Jewish God which, according to Jews, did not come down to Earth as Jesus?
@fmf saidWhat I mean is that the Jesus that came according to the New Testament is what they reject. The Jews do not reject a Messiah. The Torah speaks of a Messiah to come and they continue to await that event. A Messiah is what they believe in and what they wait for.
Your peculiar assertions aside, theistic Jews, whether they be modern or not modern, rejected and reject the Jesus that you worship.
The idea promoted by some Christian groups that the Jews are rejected by God is nonsense.
Also I do not worship Jesus Christ. I worship God. Neither do I pray to Jesus. I pray to God [through Jesus] and this was what Jesus Christ said to do. God is the Father. Jesus prayed to God as well and instructed others to do the same. Jesus is not the same as God.
This confusion of mixing up Jesus and God, who are two distinct and separate entities according to Paul, is what I leave for the rest of Christianity to flounder in.
@rajk999 saidYes, I got it right the second time when I described you as a follower of Jesus.
