If you would have read the post in its entirety, it would put to rest this silly notion you have about Jews and the methods xians use to push Jeesus on to them.  

Furthermore, even if a Jew rejects Jeesus merely out of tradition and a sense of attachment to the Jewish people and/or Judaism, that Jew still has his soul intact.  He may or may not be educated to the fact that Judaism is more than "Just say no to Jeesus", but at least he is a step in the right direction-- at least he's remaining JEWISH. 

And really, Mark, "countless"????  You make it sound like there's not an educated Jewish soul out there.   And really, "NOBODY" has ever knows/discusses the Prophets, especially Hosea? That's pretty insulting to say "nobody".  In short "nobody" wants to play this silly game of polemic play-doh.  Sounds to me like your Jewish friends and relatives may just want to avoid a series of boring, tedious, ad nauseum, ad hoc and meaningless arguments.  For the average person, "debating" Judaism and Scriptures with "hell-bent-on-converting-you-to-jeesus" xians is both a futile and exhausting exercise.  It's far better to avoid it completely for all concerned.  Even if you 'win' you lose, as thousands of Jews have seen over the course of the centuries.  They won the battle as far as polemics, but lost everything as the xians were sore losers and would not allow Jeesus to be "defamed"---sacking Jewish communities, killing thousands, seizing their property and exiling the rest with less than the shirts on their backs (if that).  Which goes back to square one.. how can you have a conversation with the "hell-bent-on-converting-you-to-jeesus" xians when the foundation of that nonsense is based on a lie???  

So you want us to listen to your nonsense and circular arguments, but you won't extend us the same courtesy of truly listening to our arguments.  So it would be nice if you would actually read what we post.
