Please, Yacov, don't tell such baltant lies, if I started constructing a detailed argument for why christianity has to be the truth, it would be deleted and I'd be warned or banned, the topic I created that was specifically addressed to christian members of the board saying happy easter was deleted without explanation.

ftf finds it offensive though.

It's not the term I find offensive, it's the fact that people use it intentionally to offend, everyone's happy calling muslims muslims, whats's wrong with calling christians christians? I had not previously heard of the x being an abreviation for the greek for christ, even if it is, what's the point in it? It's not as if "christian" takes a long time to type.

Nobody trying to offend here, but christ means messiah and jews and noachides can't and shouldn't give defacto acknowledgement to yeshua as messiah bt using the word...... nit picky but there you have it.
Joe Schmo:
Are there really people here who are offended by the word 'Christian'? ???

I understand why Christians would get offended if you don't call them Christians but change their name. How would us Jews like it if the Christians call us Yews ::) The only problem is that some Jews don't want to write anything with christ in it since we don't want to make it appear that we accept this belief.

I get sick when I hear politicians calling mahommad the "Prophet mahommad". No chr_stian or Jewish sect accepts that this pig was a prophet, so why do they refurr to him that way. Rapist mahommad, warlord mahommad, bigand mahommad...fine. Just not "prophet".
