Jewish friends: Do you find Christians who say that if you don't follow the way of Christ, then you do not live a life with God, anti-semitic?

Not really. It's not like they hate me because I am Jewish. I would hope that they know that Christ isn't part of my beliefs and that I have found G-d in my own way

That would not be anti-Semitic, however it would be disrespectful.

As a Christian I understand what you are saying and I sympathise with your position. Christians have a lot to answer to they are often so pompous and forget that Jesus Christ was thoroughly Jewish and neber denied His roots. Christianity is a Jewish faith we hold entirely to the Old Testament as we know it by. Our God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Our difference is that we see the fulfilment of all that is revealed by God in the person Of Jesus. We believe Him to be the Messiah and in that He has heralded His Kingdom in. This is not anti-semitic. We should have more dialogue between us to try to understand each other and also to find out why there are such differences. I apologise if this adds to your fury and alo I take this opportunity to say sorry for all of the wrong attitudes by "well meaning?" Christians.

I don't see it as hating Jews. I see it more as an attempt at conversion to a strongly held belief.

I don't know about anti-semitic but they're certainly not acting Christian. Seriously, though, never. Most acknowledge that Judaism is part of their heritage too, part of their Judeo-Christian ethic.

The Greatest Commandment of Jesus Christ was "LOVE" And that we must live our life centered within this commandment. So, Just by ones Christian-Living, I would see that as non-offensive to to any Religious Persuasion.

Christian's are NEVER to boast that they believe in Christ and Jews don't....Never.... and yes that is being anti semitic because a Christian(so called) is judging another.and boasting that they will be with God and Jews won't,judging ....period...
-
No,it is anti-human not anti-semitic. Among the world's people there are many percertions of the divine.They are all living a life with God.
-
I wouldn't say it was anti'semitic, but rather close-minded.
-
No, just very annoying. Presumably they'd say the same thing to Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Pastafarians, etc.

No. It is not anti-semetic. We believe that the Messiah has come and Jewish people didn't recognize Him. There should be no animosity towards the Jews. They are responsible for the entire Old Testement. The prophets who foretold of Jesus were Jewish. The disciples were Jewish. Jesus Himself was Jewish! If a Christian tells a Jewish person what they believe, that is not smug, they are only telling the Truth about what they believe.
