Summary of "Christian street preacher tries to evangelize Jew by saying "Jewish people are God's chosen people""
In this video, a Christian street preacher engages in a conversation with a Jewish individual named Ellie, attempting to evangelize by encouraging her to read the New Testament. The preacher argues that the New Testament is not anti-Semitic, contrary to common belief among some Jewish communities, and emphasizes that it was written by Jewish people for Jewish people. He stresses that the New Testament affirms the Jewish people as God's chosen people and that God remains faithful to His promises to them.
Ellie expresses that she has never read the New Testament and primarily follows the teachings of her rabbis, who discourage reading it as it is not part of Jewish faith. She suggests that the New Testament conflicts with Jewish beliefs, particularly the idea that the Jewish people are no longer God's chosen people. The preacher counters this by stating that the New Testament actually supports the ongoing chosenness of the Jewish people and points to prophecies fulfilled by Yeshua (Jesus), inviting her to consider reading it independently.
Ellie remains firm in her adherence to rabbinic authority and declines to read the New Testament despite the preacher’s invitation. The conversation ends on a respectful note, with both acknowledging their differences and the preacher expressing hope that Ellie might explore the New Testament in the future.
