Matthew15/24, Jesus says he's only here for the lost sheep of Israel. So why do you try to convert non-jews?

Jesus was talking about His ministry while here on earth! The messiah was promised to the people of Israel and they alone were expecting Him. \nLater on Jesus told His disciples(who were all Jews by the way) to go into ALL the earth and preach the Gospel to ALL Nations. \n\nMatthew 28, 18-20

Christians are not being guilt tripped by Jews, they are being guilt tripped by their own Christianity.\n\nSo, the remedy is for everyone to renounce Christianity and convert to Judaism!

Herod got mad and send to kill every Jew newborn ..........Jesus was taken to Egypt being help by the money he got from the gifts which he received form the wise .......... the question here . would u go to other country if u were in problems??? would u wait if u know u need to feed ur family today and u don't have the money??? did Jesus wait or he reacted like any other human in need would do??? what if he had to become an illegal to save his life , or what if u have to become an illegal to feed Ur family ??? .........\nhere the bible texts:\nDeu 23 :15-16 \nU will not give back to his owner the one who did run to u from his owner .\nhe will live whit u ,,between u , in the place which he chooses , where ever he wants ; u will not abuse him .\nDeu:24:14 u will not abuse the worker poor and in need , either if is one of ur brothers or a foreigner who lives in ur land or in ur cities .\nDeu 24 :17 u will not ignore the rights of the foreigner or the one whit out father or, neither u will take piece of clothing from the widow . but u will remember that u were sever in Egypt and that from there the LORD YHWH RESCUE  u : for this  , I ORDER u  to do this .\n\nthe funny thing about this bible texts is that i opened the bible and they were in front of me right in that moment as i started to read .

As I am Jewish, I find a lot of contradictions in Christians. And narrow minded ideals, which is also a contradiction, as Jesus taught the exact OPPOSITE of that sort of behaviour. So forgive me, but you goyim just confuse the hell out of me.

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.

It means that Jesus' teachings WERE ONLY meant for the people of Israel of that period of time who are lost in this world.\n\nLost in this world means that they had crossed out the line of God's commands and did what He had forbidden.\n\nNotice the capital words of "were only". It holds the key to the answer of seeking the right religion.

Pharisees now come to Jesus and say: “Get out and be on your way from here, because Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you.” It may be that Herod himself started this rumor to cause Jesus to flee from the territory. Herod may have been afraid of becoming involved in the death of another prophet of God as he was in the killing of John the Baptizer. But Jesus tells the Pharisees: “Go and tell that fox, ‘Look! I am casting out demons and accomplishing healing today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be finished.’”\n\nAfter finishing his work there, Jesus continues his journey toward Jerusalem because, as he explains, “it is not admissible for a prophet to be destroyed outside of Jerusalem.” Why is it to be expected that Jesus would be killed in Jerusalem? Because Jerusalem is the capital city, where the 71-member Sanhedrin high court is located and where the animal sacrifices are offered. Therefore, it would be inadmissible for “the Lamb of God” to be killed anywhere but in Jerusalem.\n\nThe fox is well known for its craftiness, and perhaps with reference to this characteristic Jesus Christ spoke of King Herod as “that fox.”

Not an antagonist but a betrayer. He had hoped that Jesus would be an earthly deliverer who would be this great hero and save the Jews from the Romans (like so many others thought). But when He realized that He was not what he had expected he turned Jesus in.

It wasn't until many years after the death of Jesus that the Jews who followed Jesus broke away from Judaism, and it wasn't until the 4th century and the development of the Nicene Creed that most Christians came to believe in the Trinity.\n\nThere are many theories as to why Christians broke away from Judaism.  One of them is that they couldn't find converts among Jews and had to branch out to Romans and other cultures in the area.  It's doubtful they could find anyone at all who was willing to be circumcised in order to become a follower of Jesus -- well, maybe they decided to renege on that first Covenant (Testament) with God and abolish circumcisions altogether!\n\nAnother theory as to why they broke away from Judaism is because Jews followed many leaders they believed to be the messiah, but when the leader died without having accomplished his sole purpose, he was acknowleged as being a false messiah.\n\n"...they shall beat their swords into plowshares,\nand their spears into pruning hooks;\nnation shall not lift up sword against nation,\nneither shall they learn war anymore." (Micah 4:3)\n\nMore about the messiah can be found here:\nwww.jewsforjudaism.org\n.

Just so you know, evangelical means belief in salvation though Christ.  Islam and Judaism do not believe that you can be "saved" through  Jesus. But to answer your question, Judaism isn't as well know or popular as the other two is because they don't prostylize(or missionize/try to convert), although if one was called to Judaism and decided to convert(which is what I am doing)they are more than welcome to do so.  Another factor is that there are only about 2 million Jews in the world today (yes, the low number because of the Holocaust), compared to a couple billion Christians and probaby the same amount of Moslems.

Why would Christians want Jerusalem. It doesn't belong to us. Remember our kingdom is not on this earth.

Jesus was not the messiah, and will not come back, as he is dead. Nor will he rise from the dead, or return from elsewhere. THis will be impossible for xtians to accept, I realize this, but someone has got to get them to see truth somehow. I might as well be speaking to a brick wall. I dont know why I bother, actually. Oh well. And if you think youre going to be 'raptured', then youre in for a rude awakening. Good luck with that...

Jesus was both Jewish AND Israeli.

I remember this verse from theology classes.  I believe that there are some schools of thought that believe that Jesus ministry was directed more to the Jews.  And in fact he never ministered outside Judea.  He told his follows to ministry to gentiles but this wasn't his mission while on earth apparently.  Well maybe, maybe not.  It is an interesting passage thought isn't it.\n\nHe did spend a lot of time getting mad at the way the Temple was being run so you could assume that those were the lost sheep of the house of Israel I suppose.

Because the earliest Christians, when they were rejected by the Jews since Christian theology contradicts the Bible, went to the non-Jews to obtain converts.\n\nThey quickly discovered that the non-Jews would not convert, unless the requirements of Gd were removed, especially those of observing the Sabbath by not working, and of keeping kosher, and of circumcision. \n\nWhen they wrote the Christian's New Testament, they wrote verses they attributed to Jesus and to Paul to make observance of the Laws of Gd, like the Sabbath and of keeping Kosher and circumcision, no longer required. Then, the new faith of Christianity became more popular among the pagans of Europe.\n\nOf course one should ask: What would Jesus have thought of this development? After all, Christians believe that Jesus also said, \n\nMatthew 5:17-19 17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.\n\nLast i looked, heaven and earth have not passed away, so, to Jesus the Laws of Gd are to be followed! \n\nAnd if one person perfectly fulfills the laws of stopping at a stop sign, does this meant that from now on, no one has to stop at any stop sign anywhere? Fulfilling the law, even perfectly, does not mean the law is no longer valid or to be followed!\n\nIf Jesus said that those who teach others to break the commandments will be least in Heaven, it must mean that Jesus thought one should continue to observe Gd's laws. Unless being least in heaven is good enough.\n\nThen, as the followers of Christianity became more and more and more from the non-Jewish people, remembering that only the Jews were commanded to keep these laws, anyway, the Laws became irrelevant anyway.

Jews were the chosen people by God.  Thats why He sent His son down to be born into a Jewish culture.  However, when Jesus started preaching, His own people, the Jews, didn't believe He was the Messiah, God's son.  Eventually, Jesus left them and preached to the non-jews, the Gentiles.  The Gentiles that followed Him later became known as Christians, as is any person who follows in Christ's footsteps.  Now Gods chosen people is whoever decides to follow Him, they will get to Heaven, not just Jews.
