Sounds pretty anti to me. One more reason I'd rather ask JS instead of you.

Okay, well if being pro-jewish makes me anti-Christian, I guess I can live with that. But as this thread is aimed at the Jewish answer, I thought I'd give it.
And I have
a lot more interaction with Christianity then most average observant Jews as I do attend a Christian affiliated college...
The fact is, the NT doesn't have seemingly contradictions, it just ignores Jewish law *NOT REINTERPRET* just ignores it, uses gross mistranslations, and distorts Judaism to make an absurd claim that the Moshiach will be G-d. Furthermore from the Othodox perspective, it's the Jewish people that save the world, not Christians with their idolatrous beliefs. Just to add to that it is the
Jews who keep the Torah better then I can at this point in my life that keep the world from being destroyed. G-d promised that there would ALWAYS be bnai yisrael "Children of Israel" to keep the law of Moshe, and that is why these conversion threads will always fail, because G-d made a promise and I know He will not lie, or go against what He said.
So you can keep trying to wipe us out through "conversions to be saved", or as Hitler tried, or whatever other way you can think of, but again, this is the Orthodox standpoint, you will
never succeed.
And this is not anti-Christianity, this is pro-Jewish post which may appear against Christianity, but then again, Judaism and Christianity have almost nothing in common. Now just because of this belief, doesn't mean we can't be amicable, the last Pope was a great example of the possible good that can come from Christians and Jews working together. A rabbi once asked me, "How do you know who you can trust in the world?"
His answer was, "If they have the fear of G-d in them." Something Christians do have, which is why I can and do socialize w/ them in my life. So yea, take this post for whatever you want, distort it if you must, but that's the Jewish standpoint...
