I am Jewish- I have many Christian friends and acquaintances-?
I have written this question before on YA.they are more than aware that I am Jewish. My question is this; why do I continually receive so very many email prayer's always asking me to pray to Jesus, pictures of Jesus floating down a church isle, asking me to say hail Mary's, asking me to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior? I have mentioned many times that Jews don't believe that Jesus is their G-d- why do they just continue to send these? Do they refuse to comprehend, or do they not care to accept the fact that I don't feel ,nor believe that Jesus is my G-d? They have been considerate in so many other ways, I often feel that they are doing this subconsciously. Could they resent the fact that I,m not in agreement, or might their thinking be flawed as to what Judaism really is about? I have told them on more than one occasion, that this is not my belief, and lo and behold, another one comes. I noticed that most of the recipients of these emails, with myself as the exception are Christians. I really do care for these people, and I find that I,m quite uncomfortable with repeating the "same ol" "same ol"- I wonder often if they think that their prayers are fine, because they show caring, and loving? I also became friendly with a woman who is on a website for people that are supportive of Israel. She is a Christian woman. We have been emailing one another for well over a month, discussing, anything and everything pertaining to Israel, art, jokes back and forth. Out of the blue, last night. I received an email that was extremely religious, once again, asking me to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. I also read the comments from others on this site, who are for Israel, but many start quoting from the New Testament and proselytizing. I often wonder whether or not, these people feel that since Jesus christ was Jewish, that it becomes alright for them to "spread the word?" It seems to have become more prevalent, among the Christian supporters of Israel, on many websites. Does anybody have any ideas as to deal with this? I also might add that i am quite a tolerant person by in large. I can't stand trying to explain any more. I'm quite sure that these people don't mean to be "pushy", I don't know if they were told that they were, that it would stop them. Why does a Jewish person have to believe in Jesus Christ so that we don't end up to hell, we don't even believe in there being a hell.
