i once asked an orthodox Jew in NY why the whole idea of Jesus being the Messiah was such a threat to so many Jews , and he said ” because he threatens to break up the tribe by including Gentiles”.
i thought that was very telling about not only Judaism but about tribalism in general . or what some would call ”ethnocentrism ”. it seems that universalism is such a threat to this whole mentality . all this exclusion of blood tribes , verses the all inclusive Messiah .
