Good article from Dennis Prager. Jews are slowly changing their views. About 30% voted for Bush this year - that's more the blacks and only slightly fewer than Hispanics. Christianity is good for Jews because it will keep America apart from Europe and an increasingly hostile Islam AND because it will keep Jews Jewish. Two good reasons to celebrate Hannukah this year and to wish a more Christian society for our Christian friends. Merry Chrismas to Freepers!
Thank you! And Happy Hanukkah to all our Jewish FReepers.
The Christian religion has NOT always been good for Jews. This is always an issue that is brewing under the surface, I think.
My Jewish friends are cautiously waiting for me to tell them that they are going to hell...which is the "torture" that they endure here in the USA! Many well meaning Christians feel it is their duty to say this, I hate to admit.
And worse still, there are many who call themselves Christian, who are "identity" followers, and actually believe that the Jews of Israel and most in the USA are physical sons of satan!
Hatred of Jews is a deception from the enemy. No spirit filled Christian could ever hold our Lord's people in contempt! Our Bible was written by Jews. The Holy Family was all Jewish...they celebrated the Jewish holidays and attended Holy days at the temple.
Jesus himself said,
"First I should help my own family, the Jews. It isn't right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs." (Mark 7:27 NLT)
When a gentile woman asked Him to help her. With few exceptions Jesus's ministry and all of his miracles were done for and to his Jewish brothers. It was not until he was raised from the dead that his kingdom was offered to the rest of the world...fulfilling Isa. 49:6 (NKJV)
"Indeed He says, "It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth."'
