U.S. archbishop Cyril Salim Bustros, a Lebanese native who heads the commission that issued the Synod statement, told reporters, "For Christians, one can no longer talk of the land promised to the Jewish people… There is no longer a favored people, a chosen people; all men and women of every country have become the chosen people.”

It seems they only read passages of Scripture literally that fit their political ambitions and allegorize the inconvenient ones like:

Roms 11:25-26 ...blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. (26) And so all Israel will be saved...

The irony of this is most Jews believe Evangelical Christians are not to be trusted, because we would love to see all Jews come to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but the real threat is from those churches that hold to Replacement Theology.

You are so right. They fear the people who most want to help them, and trust the ones who think they are now spiritual Israel. Whose plans include relocating their present Roman kingdom to Jerusalem. Who truly believe they will bring in the Kingdom for Christ. I've never figured out what these new "spiritual Jews" think is going to happen to the REAL Jews in order that their Roman Kingdom can be relocated to Jerusalem. And I never hear anyone belonging to Replacement Theology talk about the Real Jews and what will happen to them, so I can only assume it must not be good. I pray Israel opens her eyes as to who the real enemy is.

Why can't you just love Jews without the conversion thing? That is the universal problem between us.

I tend somewhat to agree as a non-Jew who has yet attended synagogue quite a bit and who has accepted the Torah outlook on...everything.

I think it will always be that way despite a lot of Christians for Israel. Yet I wonder that it´s not healthy to some extent. The Jews have been uprooted again and again throughout world history, yet the faith of Judaism has been sustained to where we are the fortunate heirs of Torah´s message to recognize and acknowldge God as creator of the universe.

Yet another cross for Christians to bear, as t´were.
