Not even for the sake of the secular country but for the Jews there who are jealous for His name, however confused the Cross still makes them.
As a Jew and an Israeli I can, gently and calmly tell you that the Jews I know I are neither “jealous for His name” and are not in the least “confused” regarding the cross. We are (Jews & Christians), after all are supposed to be in this TOGETHER, not deriding one to the other...I respect your views but it should be mutual. Islam wants to erase us both so we need to think together, not apart.
Nope, I stand for the work of the Cross.
That Cross was why God offered you guys forgiveness and it still is why.
The Cross does its work whether or not you recognize it now. It doesn’t depend on you exalting it right now, it depends on you exalting the Lord Himself — the same Jehovah you knew from Abraham’s time. The Lord will clear up that matter in due time. Isaiah 53 was your look ahead; if you want to parse it all differently that doesn’t change what it meant.
I find it strange that you are not jealous for the name of the Lord. Many serious Orthodox Jews are.
