Of course they weren’t Jewish. What a ridiculous question. I never knew a Jew to join a missionary church!Now we're getting somewhere. Were your friends Jewish?
They were, and are, Christians - but they were normal, respectful ones. We were great friends. But then they joined that horrible church, and kept pestering me to go. I was considering it, merely to appease them, and looked it up in the website. I was shocked. Their primary objective was to convert Jews!
So I told them no, and one of them sent me a video of a sermon, telling me he’d think I’d find it interesting. I was APPALLED to hear what they were teaching their members about Jews, and even more appalled that he didn’t realize how offensive it would be. It was all about G-d’s displeasure with Jews, with plenty of stuff added in about how cheap we all are - both financially and with emotional support.
Every email from them had quotes about Jesus from the NT, and I told them to stop sending those to me because it is offensive to quote Jesus to a Jew. They both seem surprised: why is it offensive to quote messages from our Savior to a Jew, they wanted to know. I mean, c’mon…..how dense can people be?!
I went months trying to get them to stop, because they had been good friends before they joined that church, but they got worse and worse. I eventually cut them out of my life.
