Any Christian that points the finger at syncretism is only showing their own ignorance of church history. The Messiah's real name is Yeshua, not "Jesus". The Sabbath is from Friday's sundown to Saturday's sundown, not Sunday. The Bible commands the keeping of specific holidays and prescribes specific rituals for doing so, most of today's "Christians" shirk all of that to worship the penis of an Egyptian sun god in their very own living rooms every December. The Christian religion of today is almost pure syncretism with a variety of ancient Mediterranean and European "pagan" rituals absorbed over hundreds of years. Even the identity of Messiah as the second "person" of a three-person "trinity" god is a teaching borrowed from Mithraism. A purist view of the Bible sees Yeshua performing miracles and healings through his own faith in the god he worships, not because of his own supposed powers as a "god man".
Christian belief of today is as shallow as the stickers on their bumpers.
But yes, they will moan and scream. The REAL reason? THEY are jealous. The NDN's that DO become Christians are better Christians than THEY are.
