Slash-and-burn columnist Ann Coulter shocked a cable TV talk-show audience Monday when she declared that Jews need to be "perfected" by becoming Christians, and that America would be better off if everyone were Christian.
Coulter made the remarkable statements during an often heated appearance to promote her new book on advertising guru Danny Deutsch's CNBC show "The Big Idea."
In response to a question from Deutsch asking Coulter if "it would be better if we were all Christian," the controversial columnist responded: "Yes."
"We should all be Christian?" Deutsch repeated.
"Yes," Coulter responded, asking Deutsch, who is Jewish, if he would like to "come to church with me."
Deutsch, pressing Coulter further, asked, "We should just throw Judaism away and we should all be Christians?" She responded: "Yeah."
Coulter deflected Deutsch's assertion that her comments were anti-Semitic, matter-of-factly telling the show's obviously upset host, "That is what Christians consider themselves: perfected Jews."

The last chapter of Acts, closing verses:
23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
God knew the Jews would reject the Messiah, foretold by Isaiah, centuries before. But to them first salvation was offered, thus fulfilling a promise. Then it was proclaimed to the Gentile nations, whom God knew would accept the message and relay it around the world. .....
Red, some Christians may be sorry the Jews entered heaven???
However, my point is that Jesus is a God of Love...that when a Christian believer enters Heaven, the wondrous surprises will be infinite, the disappointments of who the “Hell” is there will not even “Cross” our minds <;o))
Turbo’s Story:
A Nun and a Prostitute stand before St Peter at judgment day!
St. Peter to the “Red Lady”: do you believe in Jesus Christ!
Red Lady: Yes, St Peter, I do believe in Jesus!
St Peter: Well wonderful, here in the “Book of your Life”...so full of Sex, debauchery, pain and fear...let it be gone forever...please my Lady, please enter the Kingdom of Heaven, through these Pearl Gates!!! RL: Thank you Jesus
St. Peter to the chaste Nun: Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
Nun: Of course I have always believed in Jesus!
St Peter: Well wonderful Sister, here in the “Book of your Life”...so full of giving, caring, hard work, and sacrifice...let it be over...My wonderful Sister, please enter the Kingdom of Heaven, through these Pearl Gates!!!
Sister Nun to St Peter: St Peter???,
St. Peter:YES?...
Nun: I have just one question??? You mean I could have???
No, some "Christians" may be sorry THEY didn't get to enter into the Kingdom of God.
By God’s own word, a Christian is a believer in his Teachings...if you believe in Him you Enter the Kingdom!
I’ll see you there!... along with all the other lost, confused, misguided Christians, that know his word and Believe in Him and Know him in their heart!
Blessing too you Red Badger, my Brother...at the Gate all may enter that recognize Jesus...even a Jew that followed the Laws will enter, because God will reveal Himself to all believers and we will have a Choice...
Ah, but will Jesus recognize you?
MATTHEW 7:
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Partly correct. I AM convinced that Christianity is the only way, but I’m not prejudiced against those who feel differently.
but you said you would agree to the statement that you feel everyone else is wrong.
That is the definition of a bigot.
And I was gonna ask you to join me on "Dancing With The Stars". What comes out of the woodwork these days...
