A while back, I listened to a preacher remind people in his church, that we are to pray for Israel, NOT worship Israel. And that the apostle Paul (in Romans chapters 9 and 10) let the church in Rome know the plight of Israel (after the flesh); that they are lost, but like anyone else, can be saved.
Acts 2 shows Peter preaching to Israelites. Who, after hearing the message of Jesus Christ, realize that their souls are in a serious jam. Peter told them how to be converted (Acts 2:38).
I have neighbors that are charismatic (I think; they were formerly Baptist), that seem to be worshippers of the Jewish people, and increasingly follow the works of the Law. For example: don’t eat pork, try to keep the Sabbath, observe Jewish holy days, etc.
Many of the Jews who rejected Jesus did so because they had turned their own bloodlines into an idol.
John the Baptist addresses this.
Luke 3:8
Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
“that we are to pray for Israel, NOT worship Israel”
He is correct. Some Christian Zionists have elevated their feelings towards Israel and/or Jews to the level of idolatry and God does not approve of this. Too many misguided/corrupted preachers out there pushing this heretical interpretation of the Bible.
What kind of people push “worship of Jews”?
That’s the first I’ve ever heard of such a bizarre concept in my life.
The deception is massive out there and grows daily clearly.
