Correct me if I am wrong, but it appears to me your question is entirely premised on Jesus’ teachings actually being directed to non-Jews not to Jews. I obviously don’t have the depth of Christian knowledge of other members here, but I’m not sure you’ll find much support for that supposition.

I’ve been away the past few weeks, out of the USA, meeting with a variety of different folks. Internet has been spotty most of that time. I’ve got some catching up to do, a conversation or two I left dangling, new conversations to ponder. I will get to them.

Well, I celebrated my forum bar mitzvah year in January so I’m just a teenager……with white hair, white beard and age spots.

@badger - Take your time reading and responding to the post. The person you responded to has not been on the forum in 13 years.

Tomorrow eve marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, 5786 on the Jewish calendar. If it was not clear from what I wrote above, let me clarify here that my hopes and prayers are for all people, everywhere.

@walter - You seem reluctant to acknowledge that Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Jesus and Michael, the archangel, are one and the same. Why? Anyone can go to the organization’s website, jw.org, for confirmation. I have had to deal with some of the health issues you have. I wish you well on...
