Hello my names is Joseph and Im 24 years old. I have a girlfriend who is Jewish and she currently lives in Beer-sheva, Israel. I have been speaking to her about Jesus and the evidence showing he is the Messiah. I know she is tying to grasp this but she is having a hard time. I have presented the evidence for miracles, history, prophecy, and trinity. I really love Vardit, the delima is I dont want to get to serious until we are on the same page. I told her I could never deny Jesus. So Im asking for opinions and advice to what I should do and how should I approach Vardit about Jesus. You know she was brought up Jewish and her parents are Jewish. Any advice would help. Toda(thank you), Joseph

If she is Jewish then I think for her to become Christian would be seen by most not simply a matter of changing religion, but of turning her back on her Jewish heritage, family and friends. This is perhaps a difficulty that may be playing on her mind.

Still I think it important to stress Jesus was Jewish and that the Apostles were also Jewish. Focus on the Jewishness of Christianity. It isn't necessarily a Christian vs. Judaism thing (although it is now shaped that way), but it is actually as Judaism vs. Judaism split. Thus, it isn't like a new religion was formed, but rather the Jewish religion was carried further. One Jewish side simply following after the teachings of their Jewish rabbi—Christ (hence "Christ"ians).

A website that may also be useful to you, although I'm sure you may have come across it already is http://www.jewsforjesus.org/.
