That was a very kind note! I spent a year in Israel in my youth, careful not to offend, yet try to explain to people how God loved them and was calling them back to the land. I would avoid being direct about the Messiah. I then spent time in the Soviet Union trying to be of help to the Jewish community in Moscow. Again I would avoid any direct evangelism, yet try to express God’s love and calling for them to return.

Now I’m old, and I wonder why I was so afraid to be direct and confrontational. Like that rabbi, they are tough and can handle it. And I don’t want to die having avoided so many opportunities out of some sense of political correctness... They are on fire, and I have the rope, and shouldn’t be intimidated into not throwing it to them+!

Imagine that rabbi having the scales fall from his eyes! He’d be another Paul!

Good grief, sir. Enough of Jewish scales on the eyes. How about Christian potatoes in the ears.... listen to the rabbi. Study scripture in Hebrew. Embrace the Noahide laws (including G-d’s unity) and have an outstanding day.
