There are only over five hundred Jews in The Phillipines?

Hi, Judaism is a very important religion in the world, being one of the oldest religions among the early beliefs. If one looks at their unique way of life, a lot would be improved in the way people lead their lives. Take for example their laws, it is one and the same for civil and moral-spiritual guidance. Everything, from food to clothing to marriage to spiritual exercises can be found only in the first five books of the Torah, the first five books of the Bible: Genesis,Exodus,Leviticus,Numbers and Deuteronomy. The way we live is far different then the Jewish people, Here we have laws for different situations, law of the land drafted from time to time, we have spiritual laws from another source oftentimes clashing, oftentimes not in consonance with one another. That's how messed up our situation is, the Jews don't have this problem, they remain true to their laws, consistent and constant for thousands of years, ups and downs, but always faithful to their covenant come what may.

Well one thing we are predominantly christian and Jewish religion is so based on lineage, meaning if you must have either have a jewish blood or is married to one. They are not really the kind of religion that accepts anyone unless you have some kind of ascending from their race. Also being tagged as the race that condemned Christ to the cross is something a bit awkward to many Christians to get this religion appealing.

I'm wondering where you got the idea that Jesus founded Christianity? This is completely unfounded, and you are in over your head. Jesus never founded anything even though he was a great teacher. Christianity was not dreamed of until several hundred years later, when it was hatched up to generate money!( which Jesus would never have condoned!)

I think it's because the Spaniards conquered the Philippines for 300 plus years, thus making Catholicism, the religion they promoted, the main religion in our country. Add to that Protestantism, which basically can be categorized under Christianity as a whole. For the most part it's a Christian country, with a lot of different sects in Christianity. The way the religious studies is being taught in schools is also done in the Catholic way, if you get what I mean.

For a country who had been in the Spanish rule for more than 300 years, that would be good enough to suppress any other form of religion to be established here in our country. And if they are given another hundred of years or lower, we might become 100% Christian country.

I wondered that myself too. When I was in the Philippines, I don't know any Jewish people. I didn't even know it exists. But when I came here in the United States, I met a lot of Jewish people. My boss is even Jewish.
