The current rise in hate crimes, the over 300%v increase in antisemitism, reveals the need for more interactions to show the degrees of similarities between religions. Unfortunately, over thousands of years, the loss of life from battling over what religion is the "right " one, is astounding.

Jesus certainly was Jewish.
But there were no synagogues yet, as he lived when temple sacrifice was still going on. So the title Rabbi was applied to him only in the sense of a teacher who had disciples. The modern type of rabbi and synagogue did not appear until after the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem.
Still, your renter seems to have been fed a form of Christianity that is rather skewed. And certainly the word rabbi has never had the connotation of "Son of God." When New Testament writers meant "Son of God", they wrote "Son of God!"

Some people don’t want to understand or accept

@Strictmichael75 yeah, I was like that too at one point. Glad I woke up and smelled the coffee so to speak. 😂

Literally off the rails. She lacks even a basic Christian education which is straight up embarrassing for someone who defends her convictions so fiercely lol
Mardrae · F
@deadgerbil I totally agree. They listen to exactly what their pastor teaches and never bother to study on their own things like how Christianity was created, etc. They blindly believe by faith. It’s so sad.

When it comes to religion, all people get stuck. I feel my religion in my heart. No one has to tell me how i accept god. He lives in me every day of my life. Just know its a difficult subject to talk about

She comes from an era when Jesus was never mentioned to be jewish

"Believing in" the bible without having a clue what it actually says is unfortunately not that uncommon.

I love the Lord with all my heart but sometimes "His fanclub" down here causes a problem.
That goes well beyond the need of a facepalm. Have a facepalm photomosaic. 😆

@LordShadowfire I need one of those every day! Lol
