If judaism accepted converts would it be as big as christianity

It does accept converts, if i recall correctly, it's just that the religion doesn't teach it's followers to go out and convert people.

Judaism isn't as big as Christianity or Islam because of the fact the conversion process is longer, its been persecuted, it isn't as nearly as expansive as Christianity or Islam, and it's a minority religion whereas Christianity and Islam are both huge religions with lots of power and homes for their followers.

yes, this

The meme that Judaism doesn't accept converts is a meme jews spread to prevent people from converting to judaism. You can convert, they just don't want you to.

plus converting is super difficult process

does accept converts, and it was more open to converts in the past. both in the roman period and early medieval we have bishops complaining about christians going to synagogues. it was enough of an issue that jewish socilitiing of christian converts was made illegal

Ashkenazi Jews accept converts. Hasidic, and in general Orthodox Jews don't.

Wow, I can't remember the last time I read something so retarded. YOu do realize "Ashkenazi" is an ethnic term, and that all Hasidim are a sub-set of Ashkenaiz Jews, and "Orthodoxy" in terms of Judaism, is a principle of observance. You have Orthodox Sephardi Jews, and Orthodox Ashekanzi Jews, but you don't' for instance, have Sephardic Ashkenazi Jews.

What you said doesn't even rise to the level of being wrong, it's just gibberish. It's like saying Mozart's 3rd symphony was too orange.

They accept converts; they just stopped evangelizing after they lost three wars to Rome, saw their holy city destroyed, and were hated across the Greco-Roman world and were seen as untrustworthy

they were before that

The hilarious thing also are all the men and women marrying into Modern Orthodox communities converting. In Manhattan and Brooklyn there are even speed conversions.

Why are goynons so dumb?

>>2727366
you can convert, and are encouraged to convert if you marry a jew.

No, it's a racist palestinian/arab meme

To be part of the Judea religion, you must be part of the 12 tribes of Israel by blood.

What? Orthodox Jews absolutely accept converts. It's certain Hasidim sects that don't, and most of those sects are filled with Ashkenazi Jews so saying they don't accept Jews is crazy. Almost every Jew has some ancestors who converted. Yemenite Jews have the most authentic and ancient version of Hebrew, and even then there were a lot of converts to Judaism who joined their gene pool

This is pretty much what Christianity is.

How can they convert people who weren't born "the chosen people" though?

The Hasmoneans even forced conversions to Judaism at one point.

Read the Book of Ruth. Converting into Judaism is essentially just joining the tribe.
