- BUT the majority of Jews find discussion about Jesus offensive.
-
- At my college, there is a mini-mission amongst Jews.
- A few of us have so far showed about 10 Jews things like
- Daniel 9 and Psalm 22 and 4 of them are considering the
- possibility that Jesus is the Messiah.
-
- I cant see how this would have happened if we had just told them things
- like 'Jesus loves ya' since the Christian example contradicts this.
