How do you explain Muslims, who don't know Jesus, claiming Jesus came to them?
That has happened. I have good friends who are missionaries, have started churches in Israel.
The Mesianic Jewish couple who are their associates over there report a real awakening among the Arabs. They've had Arabs come to their home requesting that they tell them about Jesus. Asked how they heard about Jesus, they hear stories of Him showing up and healing people. Now, that's a pretty good segway into sharing the Gospel.
The hard core religious Jews are more resistant to the Gospel because of the "spirit of religion". It was actually the spirit of religion that crucified the Lord. If Satan can't beat'em, he'll join'em. The spirit of religion is Satan himself; the High Priest, Pharasees, crowds etc. were actually functioning as his minions at the crucifixion..

And those were the ones who stoned those who broke the religious rules of the day. It wasnt GOD.
