Issue: Judaism

There have been so many centuries of Jew hatred in the church.[1] It is understandable, therefore, that there is a lot of hatred against Christians among Jews. Jews also condemn Jesus as a false Messiah the way the Pharisees did. Jews get very angry when one of their family or friends converts to Christianity.[2] But Paul said in Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."

Tactless "Christian"

"You killed my savior and God condemns you Jews to Hell!"

Tactful Christian

"Jesus was Jewish like you, and he died for you too." This video shows a tactful Christian response to a hateful Rabbi.
