S3 EP7 | Why Christians Want Jews to "Convert"
Manage episode 441998268 series 2785635
If you’re Jewish and hear a plea to “convert,” you’re undoubtedly offended. If you’re a Christian, chances are you don’t understand why that would be the case. In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Ezra and Carly open the doors wide on this little-spoken-of misunderstanding, uncovering some truly helpful and clarifying points you should know – whether you’re Gentile or Jewish.
- Why the word “convert” is such a big deal
- What do Christians mean when they use it?
- How relationships, society and culture lack the context of the Christian motivation around the word “convert,” which results in misunderstandings and offense among people of other religions
- Where the Bible uses “convert“ and what it means there
- Why the Church and Christians aren’t aware of confusion surrounding the idea of “converting”
- Alternate language to use to better convey the heart of your message
Along the Way
Along the way, you’ll glean some significant knowledge, like:
- The foundational mandate in mainstream Judaism that the word “convert” violates
- The difference between “turn” and “turn back” in Scripture, and how it provides keen insight for this discussion
- Insight from Paul’s discussion of “the olive tree” in Romans 11 that will make Gentile Believers reconsider using the word “convert” when speaking to Jewish people
