Passover in Sydney

Tuesday night in Ryde, in Sydney's northwest, Jews for Jesus Australia will be conducting a banquet in celebration of Passover. Reservations required. Awesome music and great teaching about Jesus and the Passover. Ring in Aus, 1.800.988.077. Hundreds are already coming, and there's room for you.

Susie,
I'm not sure that you were really asking that question. That is, I'm not sure that you are asking anything that you want to listen to someone answer. Am I right? Or are you just venting?

We are not fake Jews. We are Jews. I was a Jew in 1951 when I was born. I was a Jew when I had my bris. I was a Jew when I was Bar Mitzvah. That's something I am and cannot nor desire to change. I was born a Jew and will die a Jew.

That's why Passover makes sense to us. It's Jewish of course to celebrate and I think about it every time I eat matzo this week.

Susie, where do you live and do you celebrate Passover?

Susie,
I was born a Jew; I'll die a Jew. I'm sorry you feel so intensely about this subject. But your intensity may be keeping you from seeing things from outside the box, or shall we say, objectively. Jesus was a Jew; his first followers were all Jews. The events took place in Jerusalem not in Rome or Germany. The issue of Jesus being Messiah was an in-house Jewish conversation in those days, AND in these days. It's Jewish to believe in Jesus.
