Sure they can. You just may not like it.When my Jewess friend Hope and I studied the Bible together I asked her if she could give the one word that described how to tell those who were the Jews in Revelation 3:9 compared to those whose merely called themselves Jews. The question went like this, "Those who would be the true Jews would be ones who live by -----?" A simple five letter word.Who are the Jews?
"When a Christian asks Who is a Jew? he risks falling into the trap of a mythic projection of perennial Christian anxiety, defining Jewishness in a way that serves a Christian purpose." James Carroll.
Jews cannot be defined according to xtian scriptures anymore than you could use Ohms Law to define poetry.
"They can" but "they" are wrong and are part of the problem. "They" look rather silly doing it. It's like the cross. What it represents to Christians is certainly not what it represents to Jews. Not if you take into account the number of Jews that were crucified for rebellions, uprisings etc.-2000 in one shot and left to rot. Two very different mind sets.
