Although most Christian churches advocate some sort of mission to non-Christians, no Jewish group advocates a mission to non-Jews. Proselytization seems to be foreign to Judaism.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Jews do not have to be Christians. Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism, but too utopian, too hopeful, too unrealistic a turn.
Jews have long experience with Christians who have tried to help us in putting our Judaism behind us.
A religious commitment coupled with theological awareness gives Jews a much better way to answer the claims made upon us by missionaries representing other religions than do the rather weak political and cultural arguments of the secularists.
Because Judaism and Christianity are both covenantal religions, the relationship of the individual Jew or Christian to God is always within covenanted community.
Yet humanitarianism is not a purely Christian movement any more than it is a purely humanist one.
A Christian is Christ in the inward humanity; and a Jew is Christ in the figure, and in the office of his law, viz. according to nature.
Judaism lives not in an abstract creed, but in its institutions.
First of all, the Jewish religion has a great deal in common with the Christian religion because, as Rabbi Gillman points out in the show, Christianity is based on Judaism. Christ was Jewish.
Historically, Jews only accept converts rather than actively seeking them.
Christians must be Jews. The truth of what we believe depends on the truth of Judaism, depends on the first covenant.
