Glad to see that Judeo-Christianity has not yet infiltrated India! :lol:
This is how [B]all[/B] Christians saw Judaism until the dawn of modern era - it was the conversion of some deluded Christians to Judaism that prompted Martin Luther to write his famous tract "[I]Jews and Their Lies[/I]":
[url]http://www.humanitas-international.org/showcase/chronography/documents/luther-jews.htm[/url][COLOR=Purple] [SIZE=3] [FONT=Garamond][B]"I had made up my mind to write no more either about the Jews or against them. But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them. [U]I would not have believed that a Christian could be duped by the Jews into taking their exile and wretchedness upon himself.[/U] However, the devil is the god of the world, and wherever God's word is absent he has an easy task, not only with the weak but also with the strong. May God help us. Amen."[/B][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT=Arial] [SIZE=5]Church: Conversion to Judaism "is the work of Satan"[/SIZE] [B] Posted September 25, 2005 Guwahati Sept. 23 2005
Deccan Chronicle[/B]
[B]Silent protest of Christian leaders in the Northeast have failed to deter the campaign of the rabbis selected by the Sepherdic Rabbinate Council of Israel to convert Mizo and Manipuri Christians to Judaism through the ritual bath in the Northeast.[/B]
If 198 Mizos were converted in Mizoram on Friday last, more than 100 took holy-bath in Manipur on Sunday. The Jewish ritual bath of conversion or Mikvah is considered a step towards their promised land ââ¬â Israel. Rabbi Zion Buarbon of Israel blessed the new converts during the conversion process. Mr Avior Khawlhring, information secretary of Shavei Israel, said all the converts have undergone the necessary rituals, including circumcision.
ââ¬ÅThe spiritual rabbi or Beit rabbi hardly go out of Israel unless there is an issue of prime importance for Israel and Judaism. The Mikvah of Aizawl and Imphal seems to be quite important to them,ââ¬Â said Mr Liyon Fanai, a convert and one of the leaders of Shavei Israel. ââ¬ÅThe conversion ceremony is funded by the Israeli government through Shavei Israel, an organisation that has been trying to locate the 10 lost tribes of Israel,ââ¬Â Mr Fanai said.
Though, rabbis of Israel refuse to admit, but the ongoing conversion ceremonies have not gone down well among the Christian leaders who are keeping a close watch over the developments. This was more visible when some Christian leaders strongly objected the conversion of Christians in Mizoram and Manipur. [B] ââ¬ÅAcceptance of our people as Israelites is the work of Satan,ââ¬Â said Dr P.C. Biaksama, an ethnic Mizo and former government bureaucrat who now studies Christian theology. ââ¬ÅWe donââ¬â¢t believe these people ever came from Israel. [U]Christianity is at stake here, and we should never take what is happening now lightly.[/U]ââ¬Â Mr L. Thanggur, a church leader in Churachandpur, describes these conversions to be only because of economic reasons.[/B]
ââ¬ÅThey are economic refugees. If they had better employment and income prospects here, they would have never dreamt of going to Israel,ââ¬Â said Mr Thanggur. In Israel too, some groups have attacked recognition of the Indian tribe by the chief rabbi. S[B]ocial scientist Lev Grinberg said that Right-wing Jewish groups were promoting conversion of distant people simply to boost the Jewish population in occupied territories claimed by the Palestinians.[/B]
About the process of their migration to Israel, the information secretary of Shavei Israel Khawlhring said: ââ¬ÅOnce converted, a convert can apply for immigration to Israel under the Law of Return, without any authorization from the interior ministry. [/FONT]
