I hope i dont come over anti-semitic or a jew hater here..this is just my personal experience and i was wondering if people had a similar stance or thinking.
I use to hang out with a lot of jews offline and online..mostly online..they were great people..open minded and friendly even though they see you as below them since were no "clean". After a while..they started to become agressive towards me..and many of my catholic friends..saying were trying to convert them and that even though we werent! In the end we broke off contact all together and stopped emailing and meeting each other. Then i got a email back from one saying that..the jews will never convert to christianity and anyone that converts to Judaism..is just a wanna be but not a true jew. Of course i dont believe all jews believe this but many do..especially the Ultra Orthodox jews.
Now heres my prob..where in the OT did it say to keep this religion to the jews and not spread it and help others gain the enlightenment that God gives?
to me it seems very selfish and self-centred..
and only until now in the last few hundred years have they started to truly accept anyone that wants to convert..and the reason i figured out was that Judaism is a dieing religion..and thats the only reason they want converts now.
Anyone get this kinda feeling?
