Thanks, JusticeSeeker....

I have very little patience with so-called Christians who are anti-Semitic or who want to want to sow hatred between Jews and Christians.

Bible-believing Christians, and **ESPECIALLY** Calvinists who have a high view of the Hebrew Bible as well as the New Testament, ought to be the strongest friends and defenders of the Jewish people.

There are reasons why Oliver Cromwell fought hard against tremendous opposition to get rid of a law that for centuries had barred Jewish people from living openly in England, why Jewish people were allowed to build a synagogue in New York during a period when Lutherans and Roman Catholics were not allowed to build churches, and why Dutch Reformed ministers were learning Hebrew from rabbis and helping them get religious literature printed in the days that Jews in other parts of Europe were being persecuted and having not only their books but also their shops, their homes, and sometimes their bodies burned.

I realize we're not going to agree on some very important issues.

However, the simple fact of the matter is that my Bible tells me I'm required to have a very high view of G-d’s chosen people, and Christians who want to eliminate the Jewish character of the Scriptures end up with something that has no relationship to the faith taught by Jesus and the apostles.

Adolf Hitler's efforts to create an Aryanized “German Christian” movement were doomed to failure, since even in the liberalized churches of Germany, enough people understood that the theology of the “Reichsbishop,” Ludwig Mueller, were flat-out incompatible with the Bible.

Frankly, too many Christians give Christianity a bad name, and they need to go back and read their Bibles. Praying for the peace of Jerusalem is mandatory for Christians, and especially for those who still sing the Psalms in worship.
