From Messianic Rabbi Silver:
*********************************

REPLY: This is just another excuse for avoiding dealing with Y'shua - Jesus. I am going to take some heat for what I am about to say, but I
will say it anyway. There will always be an excuse for not accepting Y'shua as Messiah. If you give a person enough time they will come up
with a reason. I was always taught that Jesus was not for the Jews, He was the Christian G-d. G-d opened up my eyes and heart, He can open up
others. Our job is to share our faith in as non-threatening a way as possible. Then pray and the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) will do the
rest. Learn about the Jewish people you are sharing with. There are different varieties of Jews. Reform, Conservative, Orthodox,
Ultra-Orthodox, etc. and they have varying beliefs and some have no beliefs except that they are Jewish. Not all Jews hold the same beliefs.
Some are secular, of the world, only.
