Should we also preach CHRIST to our Jewish friends or to the Jews? :dunno :shrug :confused
 
Of course.
Jesus is the Jewish Messiah and the gospel is for the Jew first and then the gentile.
Romans 10:1

We should preach the gospel to all people and all nations.

This is eternal life that they may know the One true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.

John 17:3

Paul asked and answered theses questions. "22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham’s descendants? So am I."

Perhaps your friend could do the same as he might not understand who he is.
 
It seems tho...what we should preach to them should or must be limited to A and B...leaving C and D.

You mean, some people are less sinners than others?

I think if we read Isaiah 53, the Epistle to the Hebrews, etc., the context is clear.

No: A and B would be what they'd want to hear while C and D are those teachings about HIM they would not want to hear (these are false teachings to them).
 
Just as an atheist or any non believer, because they are Jews does not mean we should approach the Gospel message any differently. However, before approaching a Jew the Christian may want to freshen up on their OT knowledge and prophecies of Christ from it. They (Jews) will always bring up the OT and if a Christian does not have the knowledge of both Old and New then there may be little to no affect in their approach. However, I'm not putting God in a box, I believe His message will go forth to accomplish whatever He so desires of it!

Those are my thoughts - More may come

The first 2 people I helped to come to Jesus were a young Orthodox Jewish couple.
He blew me away with Bible knowledge.
My defense was my testimony as to how I got saved.
There must have been some powerful Holy Spirit influence in my testimony, because in the end he wanted what I had.
 
ya think, I am a jew who got witnessed to, and my brother being better at that does witness to our family.

That is awesome, He says He will give us the words to say, His Words. Well told testimonies of God working in our lives are powerful, too. :)
 
ok. the way I post their stuff here is the way I would likely talk to them. I have done it twice to jews. one was a cousin and the other a soldier in my unit. I planted a seed with both.

There was no NT in the days of the Apostles and Jesus. They quoted the Holy Scriptures and the fulfillment of them. Such as Joel, "in the last days God will pour out His Spirit..." God also spoke of New Covenant that would be written on the hearts of the people. David spoke of one he called Lord sitting at the right hand of God. Are those lies?

One might state "I am offended by the gospel message"
Answer: But that doesn't make it a lie

I don't think many understand the severity of the consequences in rejecting how God chose to forgive sin. (Its not for man to choose how to forgive sin)

The gospel message better explains the absence of a High Priest on earth then what current Judaism teaches people.

So its a work of love to help anyone come to God for their salvation. But one must be willing to listen. We can reason with scripture.

Someone here said he totally lost me. I'm totally sorry. You didn't search well. Spiritually, I was at Santiago Bernabeu cheering Athletico Madrid to victory as they demolished Real Madrid at Real Madrid own home, Santiago Bernabeu...during the Copa Del Rey Final. Those guys chanted Messi Messi Messi and it seemed to work for them. Now, tomorrow...we should all match down to Camp Nou where we'd celebrate our Liga victory!!! Do not miss that...and you should find me there:D
