Would you prefer that Mrs Palin were anti-Semitic?
She’s showing outreach to other Abrahamic religions, focusing on COMMONALITIES, exactly as the liberals _claim_ to do.
But she’s reaching out for real.
In many of Paul’s writings he never validated Jewish ceremonies over salvation in Christ. Paul pleaded with his Jewish brethren to accept Christ as the Messiah. Besides, I’ve never known of one (non-messianic) Jew who celebrated Christmas. She needs to tread lightly. I’m not judging her motives or intent. I just don’t want her feeling pressured to celebrate Kwanzaa or Ramadan or the ‘winter solstice’ next year.
The difference between Christian and non-Christian religions is Christ.
Thus, it is imperative for Christians to, in fact, focus on the difference.
