me too brotherman!
Please see my posts #s 73, 80, 90, 92.
What is so offensive about Messianic Jews in the first place? The few I’ve met were terrific people.
More charmin.
Sarah Palin is well accepted by Jews in Alaska, because she is very pro-Israel.
Why even post this kind of drivel?
My brother was in Israel about two months ago. He talked with Israelis and I can assure Freepers that Israelis do not trust Obama. The Muslim Messiah would sell Israel out in a New York minute and they know it. That distrust and message will be sent to synagogues throughout the United States. I have no doubts whatsoever about that.
Yes, they have a way of boiling up here like a plugged toilet.
Jesus was a Jew. Of course the salvation He offered is available to Jews, as well as non-Jews.
Of course, if you believe that Jesus Christ was not the Messiah, then you’ll naturally despise those who proclaim that He is.
Why JFJ are viewed with some hostility:
1. Jews for Jesus bother me because they tend to be a little dishonest about who they are and what they are up to.
2. Christianity, once a branch of Judaism, has lost much of its “Jewishness.” Remember Judaism is not just a religion, but a people/tribe. Jews don’t want to lose their culture any more than anyone else, and this culture is constantly under attack, just like Christian culture is under attack.
3. Secular Jews don’t like religious people of any kind. Jews for Jesus combine the bad grooming of the Chassidic with the annoying pushiness of evangelicals, making them doubly annoying.
Thanks for the ping!
True. And something that Sarah Palin may or may not have heard someone else say in her church is totally irrelevant to Obama's pro-Islamist approach to the Middle East!
I'm not sure why you would lump Arutz-sheva in with Ha'aretz and other lefties. A7 is almost always on the right side of the issues we discuss here at FR. Here is the last paragraph of their article today about Palin:
Gov. Palin is a likely Israeli backer because she is "a very religious person, and the religious Christians are the greatest supporters of Israel," according to the Hawaii's Jewish governor, Linda Lingle, also a Republican.ML/NJ
WISHFUL THINKING from the ratmedia.
No, it isn't. Absolutely correct.
However, there are a zillion and one other things incompatible with Judaism that liberal Jews define as its very essence (homosexuality, abortion on demand, radical environmentalism, etc.) and they never get called on it.
I didn't know Lieberman was for low taxes!
I was thinking that Jewish voters might be more than a little wary of a madrassah-educated guy with "Hussein" for a middle name...
Jews who believe in Jesus as Savior speaking in a CHURCH is hardly shocking. And how would Palin ever know that it was even controversial?
The reason I mentioned Arutz7 is that there was an article on their site over the weekend featuring Wexler’s inane charge that Palin was somehow connected to Buchanan, and therefore tainted as a “Nazi sympathizer.” The article, if I recall correctly, did contain some pro-Palin comment from Republican sources, but the headline was definitely biased toward Wexler and his attack.
Disappointed to hear about `Arutz 7.
I believe she has demonstrated that to the people of Alaska in the past and to AIPAC during a meeting in Minnesota yesterday. So the word "likely" is somewhat gratuitous.
Did he perform Sarah’s wedding ceremony? Did he baptize her children? Did she sit in his church for 20 years? Move on, nothing to see here.
