I've just done a video on how to how Muslims should invite Christians to Islam and you can see how easy it is because all you have to do is point out to them that Christianity is idolatry and blasphemy and that if God exists, Christians would be damned for their mortal sins of idolatry and blasphemy.
Christians can't prove that Jesus is God because there is no scriptural evidence for this at all but Jews - some people might think - would be a harder nut to crack, but they are just as vulnerable to the logic of my arguments.
Jews would know that there are 36 capital offenses in the Torah.
If Jews lived in a Torah theocracy they would be subject to all kinds of capital punishments
for things that gentiles would not be punished for eg breaking the Sabbath, practicing idolatry, being guilty of blasphemy, picking up sticks on a Saturday, being a drunk and disobedient son etc.
Sorcery will get you stoned to death.
As for attempting to convince another to worship idols, the heretical Jew Paul of Tarsus would have clocked up seven different death penalties for his letters to the Ephesians, Colossians, Galatians, Thessalonians, Corinthians, Romans and Philippians.
Those seven letters to those seven different communities would be used as evidence against him for instigating all these communities to practice the idolatry and blasphemy of Christianity.
It is easy to clock up a death penalty or two or even more in one Jewish lifetime eg cursing one's own parent, bestiality, incest, adultery, sodomy etc.
Most interesting of all is ir nidachhat ie being a citizen of a city that has gone astray.
I have attempted to speak to rabbis in particular and they are horrified at my particular interpretation of the application of that capital offence. A city that has gone astray is a city that practices idolatry. According to Orthodox Jews, Christianity is a religion of idolatry and blasphemy and those of you who know anything about Orthodox Judaism would know Jews are forbidden to enter churches which are places of abomination where idolatry is practiced. They're not allowed it to go into Reform synagogues either because Orthodox Jews regard Reform Jews as heretics.
Jews are however allowed to pray with Muslims in mosques so this should give you an idea of what Orthodox Jews really think of Christianity. If it is a death Jews to be a citizen of a city that has gone astray ie a city that practices idolatry, then the whole of Christendom would come under this heading. This means that however good a Jew you have been, you have in fact already clocked up a death penalty just for being a citizen of a Western nation that regards itself as part of Christendom.
It would be interesting to see whether Americans regard themselves as part of Christendom. According to the American constitution, they technically have no established religion and are without an official moral system with which to hold each other and their ruling classes accountable.
A perfectly good Jew who lived and died a citizen of Christendom would be considered a citizen of a city that has gone astray. He already has a death penalty awaiting him and it is death by beheading as well as any sins he might have committed that would attract the death penalty if he had been convicted in a Torah theocracy.
Jewish death penalties come in four varieties:
- death by beheading
- death by stoning
- death by strangulation
- death by fire
If Jews do really believe in an afterlife and the existence of God to punish them then this must mean they could have more than one death penalty awaiting them undischarged which would have to be discharged in their afterlife which they call their olam haba.
A Jew could in theory be beheaded and then resurrected in order to be strangled in order to be resurrected in order to be stoned in order to be resurrected to suffer death by fire - not a pleasant prospect at all, particularly for Jews who who have been citizens of Western nations that regard
themselves as part of Christendom,
The only way to escape all that is to become Muslim.
That would be the best way for Muslims of inviting Jews to Islam.
The most engaged comment I received from a rabbi was "This is superficial drivel."
None of the points I raised is part part of the rabbinical curriculum and they have no answer.
It must be dismaying indeed for believing Jews to now to think of their Jewish ancestors who lived and died in Christendom as having to suffer the death penalty of ir nidachat in their olam haba,
Muslims could easily be asking rabbis this question to see how they respond if I have got any of the above wrong.
I predict that they won't be engaging at all and in fact make a point of avoiding engagement with Muslims by pretending that Muslims want to kill them.
