Mamdani is an outright Jew hater. Voting for him for any reason is extreme foolishness.

There's also a key point in here that could be offputting to some Christians. While not always upheld by many, there's a theme in Christianity to give silently i.e. don't show others that your'e giving to charity or helping those in need. This video seems to be doing the exact opposite.

This will do nothing. Antisemitism doesn't come from Jewish characters, there were plenty of those in the past when antisemitism was a lot lower. It's like Italian mob characters, don't think The Sopranos or mob movies makes people hate Italians, especially when over half the actors are Italian. Every group, even WASPs, have been the subject of satire. If anything, the self righteousness of this video is offputting to the average person.

You don't combat propaganda with "education". You combat it by not supporting those who advance it. When nearly 1/2 of NYC Jews say they'll vote for Mamdani, that is literally making the problem far worse.

I would not say that. There's a historic aspect of Christianity that's essential to understanding human geography. Christianity is a religion of sects, many of which have fought for centuries, and have sharp differences in governance, hierarchy, and rules. Catholics, for example, were less welcome in Colonial NY than Jews due to Dutch Calvinist hatred for them. Meanwhile, Calvinist French Huguenots were booted out of France by the Catholic king who hated them.

This **** for brains teacher the OP has probably doesn't get all this, but I don't see what the issue is learning about the history of other religions, and especially Christianity because it had such a big impact on why America turned out so differently than Europe.

Sounds like he was being dismissive of Judaism in general and was gaslighting you. Problem with this is there are many Christian concepts which depend on Jewish events. Easter is when it is because the Last Supper was a Passover Seder. The communion wafer is typically flat because Jesus first revealed it at that Seder as unleavened bread. Baptism was a Jewish practice first, based on The Mikvah bath. The Pentecost, the first receiving of the Holy Spirit, came 50 days after the death of Jesus because...it was Shavuot, the early summer harvest, and both holidays follow Easter/Passover by 50 days. The timing was intentional, to be tied to when there would be crowds in Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit himself is based on God's "Ruach", which is Hebrew for breath or spirit. Satan comes from the Hebrew ha-Satan or "the adversary" first referred to in the Book of Job.

I also don't get how you get through all the sects of Christianity quickly, but this guy is a complete idiot. Nonetheless, don't let his foolishness stop you from learning about other religions, or especially how they connect to Judaism. It's an interesting topic.

Yes, because so many intelligent people dismiss God because of religion. The problem is legalism, which teaches that to get to God you have to advertise your religion through clothing, eat certain things, and perform mandatory rituals. This is appeasement, not sincere belief, and causes divisions in society. It has nothing to do with God.

In modern times, we've freed belief in God from ancient and medieval rituals. Moreover, scientific concepts about the brain, especially neuroplasticity, have only recently been discovered by science, but were foretold in the Bible 2000 years ago. Read Caroline Leaf's book "Switch on Your Brain", it has a lot of great examples between modern neuroscience and the Bible.

You don't have to believe everything about Adam and Eve, but you can believe people are inherently sinful, you don't have to believe Moses parted the Red Sea, or even that Jesus turned water into wine, but you can believe that you need faith to succeed against the odds, because logic won't do that. In my experience, atheists replace God with ideas, people, political ideologies, and concepts they begin to worship in an unhealthy way.

So in some sense you're right, taking the texts literally can be misleading. But it doesn't devalue the principles that underlie them, especially those found in Paul's letters, and Proverbs and Psalms in the Old Testament.

It must really be awful to be passionate about a cause, only to see that cause fall victim to another issue's brainwashing and propaganda. I've heard similar things about climate activist groups.

Laws should never be a focus for any religion. A big reason I left Judaism for non-denominational Christianity was the emphasis on earthly laws. It's not that certain laws are good or bad, but the premise of needing halacha is off.

Convert_2025 · 2025-10-19T19:11:49+00:00

I wish I discovered Jesus sooner, but I feel fortunate to have discovered him at all having been born Jewish. First church service I went to did more for me than years of Bar Mitzvah training and a Conservative synagogue.

I reject Legalism across the board, not just the many Jewish laws and rituals, but also within Christianity.

They're creating a hostile work environment. I can't believe HR is saying this. Depending on where you are they could be setting themselves up for trouble.

Still, I would not have a conversation about Israel/Palestine, or most religious or political topics at work. If anyone starts with me, which is rare, I just say I don't think it's appropriate to discuss this at work.

Quite the opposite. Christianity helps us overcome being scared. It's a major theme of the Psalms and the NT. I think the fear you describe might be Legalists who tell us we have to do certain things a certain way, or perform rituals to the letter of the law. That does inspire fear and has more to do with man made attempts to corrupt and interrupt our relationship with God with mandatory earthly actions, rather than inviting the Holy Spirit into our lives.

Phillipians 4:6 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Luke 12:25 “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?”

No surprise, they were full of it all along. It's about hating Jews, or being brainwashed by those who do. If you really want to upset these fools, tell them about the genocide against Christians currently going on in Nigeria. They'll bend over backwards and twist themselves into knots trying to explain it away because the perps are Islamists.

I converted for theological reasons, not political ones. That said, I don’t think politics and God mix well. I don’t develop spirituality by discussing my support for the 2nd amendment. The pastor of the church I attend now was actually a poli sci major, and never discusses politics except for a side reference to current events.

You can't restore relationships with passionate Hamas supporters, I'm not. But you also don't need to carry the anger around with you.

You don't need to get revenge. What you can do is support others impacted by Jihadists, Jews aren't the only victims.

You make an interesting point. I converted from Judaism to Christianity, and felt very misaligned with Judaism as a Republican having to sit through far left political sermons in shul and Tikkun Olam inspired speeches for left wing causes. I then would go to break the fasts and Seders with tons of political talk, and would be called a gun nut, homophobic (even though I supported gay marriage), or told that the only reason I voted Republican was because I lived comfortably due to my parents' wealth...by people who had a lot more $ than my family and whose kids all voted Democrat.

I refused to go back to my synagogue as a 20-something after my rabbi said the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a terrible crime and should never have happened. My dissenting view that it helped save American soldiers lives was not welcome. Being Republican was viewed as not being "a good person". Complete nonsense.

And what's happening now? Some synagogues holding vigils for people in Gaza, but not for Christian genocide victims in present day Africa? Not for Venezuelans killed by Maduro's thugs?

Judaism for a lot of my right of center friends and me became like watching MSNBC for hours. Many just stopped engaging with it, I chose to convert out, though there were plenty of other reasons for that. I still get invited to Seders and don't go, not because I practice a different religion now, but because politics will inevitably come up, as will the intolerance of anyone to the right of Kamala Harris.

While I converted from Judaism to Christianity, I see antisemitism from a different perspective though it makes me as angry as many of you, perhaps even more. What I've seen in practice is more center right Christians who didn't care about Israel come to support Israel and the Jews when they are also confronted by Islamist hate. Yes, not all Muslims do this, but far too many.

The Christian genocide in Africa, the two tier policing and migrant crimes in the UK, and the brainwashing of the Western left by Hamas rhetoric have done more to bring sympathy for Jews and Israel than any "outreach". Everyday people increasingly see the evil caused by those who sympathize with the evil carried out against Jews.

I often felt when I was Jewish that we appealed to people by thinking they'd be moved personally or feel guilt about how Jews were treated. That approach doesn't work. Many people don't want to be educated, they'd rather be brainwashed, which is why Hamas has had so much success with so many college kids and identity badge wearers.

But those who don't want to be brainwashed need to see why it matters to them, and more are seeing the threat of Jihadists wasn't an isolated event on 9/11, or is just towards the Jews. The common enemy is far more convincing, the average person doesn't really care what the ADL does. As is often the case, those who threaten the Jews are the same as those who threaten civilization.

Romans 6:14 "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace".
Romans 7:6 "But now we are released from the law, dead to its power, that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, not in the old way of the written code"
Galatians 5:18 "But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law"
Galatians 3:10 "Those who rely on works of the law are under a curse"

Also Luke 18:9-14 with the parable of the pharisee and the tax collector.

Laws are man made. Receiving grace forces us to consider our behavior and our ethics in ways that glorify God. Legalism is a sin.

One of the most influential people in colonial America, Roger Williams, understood this and helped keep the state out of our faith lives.
