You know that brings up a related subject. I have been meaning too look up. I swear the Southern Baptist Church issued a statement at one time on the need to convert the Jews. Well I remember Clinton piped up at a News Conference no less and said he thought that was inappropriate. My thought was why in the World is the President of the United States even commenting on that.

They did. Got in big trouble for it too in the press; but, if you believe that the only way you get into Heaven is through explicit belief in Christ then it is a quite loving and humane attitude to have. I mean if a friend is heading for a door that opens to an abyss, do you not warn him of the danger ahead. That's all the Southern Baptists were saying. They didn't want Jewish people dying lost. Most evangelical Southern Baptists love the Jewish people regardless if they convert to Christianity or not.

As for Clinton, his commenting on a matter of theology is inappropriate; however, whenever he wanted to he made sure that he would misapply Scripture for his own political points. Clinton as preacher? That's inappropriate!

By the way, we also put out pamphlets on the need to convert Muslims, Hindus, Mormons, etc., Jews weren't singled out in some anti-semitic rant.
