Family Research Council president Tony Perkins has been broadcasting his âWashington Watchâ radio program from Israel this week, where he is helping to lead an FRC tour group. Also on the tour is former Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who joined Perkins on the program on Wednesday to share her view that biblical prophecy is being fulfilled all around her and that it was more urgent than ever to convert as many people as possible â including Jews â to Christianity to prepare for the imminent return of Christ.
âAlmost every article in the paperâ has to do with conflicts in Israel, Bachmann said, âand it ties with so much biblical prophecy. This week really was about biblical prophecy in many ways. And weâre seeing as events are speeding up, events are speeding up so quickly right now, and we see how relevant the Bible is, and weâre reading our newspaper, at the same time weâre learning about these biblical events, and itâs literally day by day by day, weâre seeing the fulfillment of scripture right in front of our eyes, even while weâre on the ground.â
âWe recognize the shortness of the hour,â she said, âand thatâs why we as a remnant want to be faithful in these days and do what it is that the Holy Spirit is speaking to each one of us, to be faithful in the Kingdom and to help bring in as many as we can â even among the Jews â share Jesus Christ with everyone that we possibly can because, again, Heâs coming soon.â
If youâd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

That's her opinion, not an uncommon one amongst Christians. However it is not a call to convert Jews, but to convert an many as we can. Wouldn't convert to convert a few Muslims too. Other headlines which mirror the same distortion.

Well...WE got Bob Dylan. So hey, there’s that.
"We" do? Who's "we"?
So sorry, I meant to say, “WE (except for driftless2) got Bob Dylan”.
Poor Jews. On one side you got the Mooselimbs trying to kill them and now this.... Oy Vey.
Maybe Glenn Beck can form a political party and run her.
So? Nu? Yeshua was Jewish so why convoit? Nice Jewish boy wit nice Jewish mom ....
Let a Christian believe, hope, and pray for whatever they want, and we Jews are to provide a constant, visible example of G-d’s Torah and mitzvot. (oh, and know what to answer....https://sites.google.com/site/jewsforjudaismcanada/)

RE: Poor Jews. On one side you got the Mooselimbs trying to kill them and now this.
What’s wrong with the latter?
Because she believes an event in HER religion is going to occur, which has nothing to do with Jews, then Jews have to convert to her religion to experience that event? Absolutely nuts. There--I said it. And I couldn't care less who doesn't like it.
I LOL’d!
Isnt it funny how libs treat christians who want to peacefully convert jews to christianity as worse than the muslims that want to kill the jews and convert other infidels via the sword.
Bachman is nutty at the worst. But a neck-ectomy from the religion of pieces is permanent.
“Whatâs wrong with the latter?”
There are some Freepers who think it is wrong to want to convert Jews to Christianity. They take it as an insult to Jews. Not all of those who take offense are Jews either. Strange.
What's wrong with being an observant Jew? BTW, I'm not Jewish.
As someone who has tried to build bridges with Jews in terms of the Conservative mindset this is the 2nd time she has done something like this, and I will have undue her mess, and explain it away because they will equate her words with all Conservatives / Tea Partier's and we all become nutters because of her foot in mouth ailment.
I dislike when people make unproductive work for me for no freakin' reason....
Jews, the conservative ones are decent folks. The “cultural jews” ie. The athiest jews always seem to me to be the most worried about this sorta thing concerning people like bachman. At least that is my impression anyways.
I view bachman’s group trying to covert jews like the jehova witlesses... easily ignorable and mostly harmless if ignored or shunned.
Unlike the clock kid’s religion.
Other than the fact that there’s nothing wrong with being Jewish?
I can relate to her, just less vocally. Standard orthodox Judaism wants every human being to believe in the one Creator, G-d,and,to abide by seven basic precepts (with many off-shoots) that He commands. Not that all should convert to Judaism with its 613 comments and countless offshoots. But included in this is the requirement for every Hindu and Buddhist to change their beliefs, and additionally every trinitarian Christian to believe only in (what they would call the father) G-d. We believe that Christianity and Islam have “formatted” the world’s hard drive to accept this when Jews fulfil their part of G-d’s covenant collectively, becoming a true light to the nations.
Nothing short of miraculous, ey? Quite a chutzpah of them Jews too.
