    That is the typical of the self righteous.
    I remember a post form this one that said, one can do anything they want and just pray it away. Or very similar.

    So, one has to take the self serving righteous with many grains of salt.

    Meanwhile, the fat person pushed over board was the only one on the ship that could treat any others that could steer the ship in the proper direction.
    So all those remaining will now drift back out to see and die of starvation and dehydration.

    So those Christians that believe God never changes are wrong.

    "Convert" is a terribly strong word and rather offensive but.......
    if Christians were to express a greater level of respect for every word written between Ezekiel chapters forty to forty eight.......
    then Jews would tend to take Christianity more seriously.........
    if Christians proved that they believed that what Ezekiel wrote was serious and will play a role in the ushering in of the Era of Moshiach.... then this might well attract the attention of many Jewish scholars and thinkers.

    Ezekiel chapter forty seven sounds like win - win - win - win - win for Israel, Jordan, Egypt, the Palestinian territories, Lebanon and all the Middle East.......
    but perhaps I am biased??????????

    There are several paragraphs in the NDE account of former Atheist Howard Storm that I think would be useful in assisting Christians who take Howard Storm seriously to at least have a better discussion with their Jewish friends.

    If you want to swallow the Kool Aid, that's your choice, but don't go around foisting it on others.

    A Muslim might say:
    "I just do not understand why Christians do not just become Muslims, we have integrated their Jesus in our Koran, so they keep their culture intact and are given eternal life."

    Absolutely. They can, and have, argued exactly that. It's a great analogy.

    You got it backwards.

    144,000 Jews are saved and everyone else burns in Hell.

    If you're of "British" descent, then you are descended of either Gog or Gomer, so you fate is already sealed, and you get to burn in Hell.

    And, the Muslim religion is newer than Christianity. So, it's the later revelation from God. As God often changes what it wants the people to believe.

    Which also means, Mormons are the latest of all the revelations from God. So, we all should become Mormon.

    Jew is not a race. We are all Jewish. The original Jews were just a tribe of ordinary people chosen by God.

    So much mixing has happened in history. No one is just white, Jew, black, Asian etc if you go back enough.

    If you are right about non-believers going to hell - and you claim that all non-Christians will go to hell - and Jews are not Christian ... then what you
    are saying is that Jews killed by the Nazi are now in hell.

    Wow. Why would anyone (or Deity) hate Jewish people like that?

    Then why were you worried about "forced interracial marriage"?

    Because people should be allowed to like what they like. No one owes anyone anything and should not be brainwashed by the media.

    Idk, I am not a white supremacist. I want to like whites the most but they are the weakest link atm and inferior to the other races it seems. They let themselves be dominated and subjugated.
    God is embarrassed of whites it seems and wants to mix all cultures

    Have you even witnessed to everyone in your home town?

    Read the Bible. It explains why most Jews rejected Jesus as the Messiah.

    Technically, there is no black, white or whatever race, but the term is still used in such a manner. That said, it is considered a heritage that is not directly connected to one's religion,

    The question is when do you get considered out of one grouping and into another. How many generations before you are native to an area? How far back to an ancestor of a given grouping/heritage before you are no longer part of that heritage?

    Disagreement isn't hate, just as it isn't oppression. If it were, then your desire to convert Jews would be hate and oppression. As for the last sentence, all you are doing is confirming the selfishness we've been talking about.
