Evangelising Jews: we should first admit wrong treatment done to Jews

John Vashahi

The fact is Christianity is based in Judaism and Jewish culture. Blessing of Jesus for Jews are demonstrated in Jesus wiping for Jerusalem. They are like any other race and nations are entitled and deserve the salvation and eternal life. Some may even argue that Jews are more important to be invited to Christianity than any other Nations.

To evangelise Jews, first we need to admit wrong doing toward Jews by church in name of evangelising them and forcing them to convert them into Christianity which recorded in the history with most upsetting and horrifying stories. That would be the very great first step.

We should show them that those wrong acts done by kings and pops who did not know any thing about Christianity, Showing them that real Christianity is nothing but love and grace.

I think admitting what church did wrong in the past, is the case not only for Jews but for many other nations who suffered by slavery and colonising of western powers in last centuries. Although many of those powers were far from Christianity, those inhuman acts however are registered under the name of Christianity.

We should always be open to debate these issues. With that we will insure never such things could happen under the name of Christianity, which Christ died to save the human.
