One day recently I received a belligerent E-mail.  I wrote the person back and we established a nice relationship.  He was actually studying the New Testament and was willing to receive some material from me.  He also gave me some anti-missionary site addresses.  I agreed to look at the sites.

The first area was titled "Why Jews Don't believe in Jesus."  Credibility lost.  Jews do believe in Jesus.  Not all Jews, but I would say tens of thousands are quite a lot of Jews.   Most prefer to use his Hebrew name Yeshua instead of the English transliteration, but they do believe in him.

Another title says, "What Judaism Thinks of Missionaries".   I wonder if he includes Messianic Judaism.   Credibility lost.
