Does a  "Real Jewish Person" try to convert people to Judaism?

I think I understand why there may be a prob. Throughout the Old Testament, I don't see an command such as Y'shua gave His disciples
such as the ones coming from God to Abraham, or G_d to Moses.

I am thinking along these lines, because I have failed so  many times
in my effort or "presentation" of the gospel. I strongly believe that we are under the New Covenant, G_d's new evidence and proof that we are
no longer under the curse of the Law given at Sinai.

What about those Jews who trust Abraham, set aside Mosaic law and believe G_d can grant them eternal life without Y'shua's sacrifice? They are close by their faith in Jehovah! Paul established the fact the law was good for it's purpose, To show us our need for Messiah.

Is this not what contemporary Judaism is today? The situation is "One G_D". If He is the G_D of Israel, He must be the G_D of Moses also....

Shalom

I'll admit to being a bit confused about your question. I'm not sure what you mean by a 'Real Jewish Person'.

Anyway, todays Judaism does not go out to convert people. If a person wishes to convert to Judaism, they must approach a Rabbi, and even then the Rabbi will try to discourage the person (while also welcoming).


I agree with you that what we have to offer to individuals is Jesus and the spiritual blessings which comes under the New Covenant. In my view, we are to explain who Jesus is and what He did for us to the best of our abilities. I also believe it is God who reveals the truth and saves. God has given each person a choice. We know not everyone will be saved. If a person refuses, it is not necessarily us who failed. Our hope is it is a seed planted or watered for future growth.
