I don't know of any Jews who would take offense that a Christian decided not to participate in a Shabbat dinner due to a sincere faith conviction. We Jews should be--and most Jews are--happy to see young men and women live their lives according to their Christian faith.
Evan Myers, who has been credited with helping write Kevin Roberts’ book and is reportedly involved in crafting his public statements, is said to have worked on the video Roberts filmed last Thursday with Ryan Neuhaus. He has also stated that his faith “prevents” him from attending a Shabbat dinner.

I mean sure? But I went to a lot of Bible education, and I’m not sure what would prevent us Biblically? I’m not Catholic and I don’t believe their communion’s transubstantiation representing the sacrament of the body, so I just don’t get up and do that part if I go to Mass. Washing your hands? Tearing and sharing bread? Listening to a prayer? Seems pretty anodyne. The Good Samaritan parable feels really clear about respecting other cultures.

I don't know, I'm not a Christian. I'm not even a very good Jew, though I try. What I do know is that I don't think we should be policing each other's religious beliefs. The appropriate norm here is tolerance, and to that I would add giving people the benefit of the doubt.

And no Jew would ever force someone to attend Shabbat dinner in the first place, or even want someone to attend who didn't want to, for whatever reason.

I occasionally force people to attend Shabbat dinner, but only so that they can spread the word about how amazing my brisket is.

My wife and I invited a Jewish couple we’re friends with to have dinner at our home. They politely explained that they couldn’t, because they were very strict in keeping kosher. (We are Catholic.) I certainly didn’t take offense. Rather, I felt great respect for them for observing the tenets of their religion, even when it was inconvenient. We met up at a kosher restaurant instead and had a great time together. In my experience, devout Jews and devout Christians generally respect each other more than anything else, in this secular world. I don’t know why that guy felt he couldn’t attend a Shabbat dinner. I’ve attended many. But if he believes his faith prohibits him from doing so, I’d hope that folks would have respect for that, rather than questioning it or (even worse) assuming that his decision arises from some kind of bigotry.

Yet, it's not a "sincere faith conviction", he lied. Instead of coming out and saying "Because of my faith I would be uncomfortable attending a Shabbat dinner." Which would be fine and acceptable. Instead he decides to make up some story about his Christian dietary restrictions on Friday that makes it impossible to attend. SOME Catholics and Orthodox Christians abstain from eating meat on Fridays. Yet, still would not restrict one from attending a multifaith dinner on Shabbat. So, what do lawyers and judges say in a court of law when someone makes up a convoluted lie to excuse themselves of something that could be easily explained otherwise. Because there are ulterior motives that they are really trying to hide. P.S. Your analogy is retarded. Which shows how desperate you antisemites are to excuse your hatred of Jews.

Yeah, except there is no part of any real Christian faith that says going to dinner where there are a few Jewish prayers is apostacy. It just means that whatever religion Mael is following, its not Biblical Christian
Replying to @LeorSapir
My Seder invitations to non-Jewish friends comes w/ a disclaimer that there is no participation in any religious prayer or rite that won’t be fully explained in advance or that you need to worry about accidentally participating in if you merely want to observe. That opens…

Catholics have prohibitions about participation in other religious observances, even those practiced by other non-Catholic Christians. I married a man who was raised Roman Catholic and was surprised to learn that he was not supposed to attend any church service that wasn’t RC.
Replying to @LeorSapir
If a catholic told me they couldn’t come to my Shabbat dinner because of sincere religious belief I would respect that. Most Jews would. Of course it goes both ways. As long as he’s ok if I refuse to attend his Sunday dinner

Right. Hosted and still hosting hundreds of Shabbat dinner almost every Friday evening and many Shabbat brunches. Welcomed Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus and even atheists. Our house is open and our hearts are open. Shabbat is an important mitzvah and a blessing.

Jews are really shooting themselves in the foot, losing support rapidly among younger generations even with their consolidation of social media and mass censorship. America First White Nationalists are on the uptrend. It is great to see.

Not me. I like sincere Christians. They try to be good and it’s a kinda nice sorta good. Being Jewish I just would appreciate being allowed to live in peace. For a minute ? Maybe?

So silly—observant Jews have tons of religious rituals and rules that govern their everyday life and that would potentially be in conflict with interacting with anyone who doesn’t also follow the same rules.
Correct. And if you’re Jewish like me, you got a thick skin. I don’t care what someone else does as long as they leave me alone. That would be hhhuuuuggggeee

The very notion to make people come in on a Saturday. You are creating Goypers. Not Nick!!!
