Many years ago when my husband and I lived in New Jersey, I remember reading about a town in NJ where they displayed a Nativity scene at the public square. A Jewish lady wanted it taken down because it was on public property. The town was debating on what to do when the town's newspaper published a letter by a Christian lady who wrote "Okay, fine take down the Nativity Scene, but no Christian should buy any Christmas presents from any Jewish-run business". The Nativity Scene remained.

Then we moved to upstate New York. A fellow in Saratoga was running a very successful auction. His wife, who is Jewish, and he, very publicly objected to a Christian painting, painted by a VietNam vet, hanging in the local public high school. The kids who attended the high school liked the painting and had no problem with it. The painting was removed, but they are no longer in business.

My husband and I are very strong supporters of the State of Israel, but will never understand liberal, Jewish Americans.

"My husband and I are very strong supporters of the State of Israel, but will never understand liberal, Jewish Americans."

The Cross offends. Christ offends.

Face it. When He came down here as a humble, little baby, and then grew up into a man, He turned a lot of things topsy-turvey and absolutely upside down in the world. He came to really shake up things, which He has done a pretty good job of that now, for what, 2000 years?

It was predicted and even written about. It is simply being acted out as it has always been predicted. These people who are offended and do what they do, as sincere as they may be, are simply fulfilling their pre-destined roles, whether they even realize that or not.
