The Churches Against Israel

Pages: 1 2

Reprinted from Ynetnews.com.

A few days ago UK researchers announced that 17 skeletons belonged to Jews were found at the bottom of a medieval well in Norwich, England. The Jews were murdered in a pogrom or had been forced to commit suicide rather than submit to demands for conversion to Christianity.

The bodies date back to the 12th or 13th Centuries, at a time when Jewish people faced killings, banishment and persecution throughout all Europe. Those 17 Jews were killed because of “replacement theology,” the most ancient Christian calumny arguing that because of their denial of the divinity of Christ, the Jews have forfeited God’s promises to them which have been transferred to the Church.

Some 10 centuries later, global Christian forums are reviving this theological demonology against the heirs of those 17 Jews: the Jews of the State of Israel. The World Council of Churches, an ecumenical Christian body based in Genève and boasting 590 million worshipers, just ended a four-day conference in the Greek city of Volos. Not a single word of criticism was uttered there against the Islamists who are persecuting Arabs who believe Jesus.

Lutherans arrived to Volos from the United States, Catholics and Protestants from Bethlehem and Nazareth, Orthodox Christians from Greece and Russia, lecturers from Beirut and Copts from Egypt. The conference declared the Jewish State “a sin” and “occupying power,” accused Israelis of “dehumanizing” the Palestinians, theologically dismantled the “choseness” of the Jewish people and called for “resistance” as a Christian duty.

The conference denied 3,000 years of Jewish life in the land stretching between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River, took sides against the very presence of Israel, likened the defensive barrier that has blocked terrorism to “apartheid,” attacked Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria invoking the name of God and conceptually dismissed the Jewish state, imagining it to be a mixture – Islamic, Christian and perhaps a bit Jewish. It even legitimized terrorism when it talked about the “thousands of prisoners who languish in Israeli jails,” proclaiming that “resistance to the evil of occupation is a Christian’s right and duty.”

In the last few months we have seen a radical and dangerous increase of attacks on Israel by the Protestant and Catholic churches. While the US is home to many Christian supporters of Israel, the groups more closely linked to global public opinion, European bureaucracy, the media industry, the United Nations and various legal forums are all violently anti-Israel and anti-Jewish. They are paving the way for a new Jewish bloodbath by the theological exclusion of Israel’s Jews from the family of nations.

The patriarch of the Antioch Church, the Catholic Melkite Gregory III Laham, proclaimed that there is a “Zionist conspiracy against Islam,” reviving old conspiracy theories that led to infamous pogroms. In Antwerp, once called “the Belgian Jerusalem,” a highly respected and government-funded Catholic school, the College of the Sacred Heart, just hosted a “Palestine Day” replete with anti-Semitic references and activities for youngsters. One stall at the event was titled “Throw the soldiers into the sea,” allowing children to throw replicas of Jewish and Israeli soldiers into two large tanks.

The most influential international Catholic peace movement, Pax Christi, just promoted a boycott of Israel’s goods “in the name of love.” The most hated Israeli product includes Ahava, the famous Israeli cosmetics company, whose shop in Covent Garden, London, has just been closed by the company after years of demonstrations. Strangely, Ahava body lotion tubes have been chosen as a satanic symbol of Jewish colonialism.

    : Israelis, like Lucifer, were God’s chosen but were cast out for their rebellious and evil ways
    And if Christians think they are pleasing God by keeping the day of the sun god Baal, they can warm themselves by the fire too!

    • Rob Lotz

      You are exactly correct. Study what made God upset in the Old Testament, then compare what the Christian (and Catholic) Churches are teaching, and you will see that there is no difference.

    • robert donaldson

      as we have known by faith, Christ will be the judge of these adulterous evil deeds against Israel and inmy heart the day the Lord says remember is most certainly going to be an issue He will be asking us to answer to.

      What Bible are you reading from?Read the ENTIRE book not just selected portions.

    • http://Drudge David

      All the prophets of the old testament plus Jesus state that Jewish people and Israel,regardless of what they do,according to His Covenant with Israel will restore her people to Him.Period.The Bible states also that ALL the nations will turn against Israel.The Jewish people are not Gods chosen because they are better than us,but they were given the heavy responsibility of carrying His Word initially to the nations.People forget that Jesus(Yeshua) and all the disciples were JEWS!

      most likely the work of members of the ancient mystery religion (rosacrucians, etc.) which built satanic alters underneath the main church alter in 80% of gothic churches, while throughout the ages (and even today) commiting ritualistic human sacrifice, then blaming/framing christianity – as a matter of fact – this article has their signature on it

      friend ,i am an hebrew from a long standing hebrew name,who were murdered in the SHOAH my mother and 7 children were saved because of some righteous gentiles.I am 71 year and know what it is to have full families destroyed, in ANTWERP, Brussels, and the whole of north France. How old are you friend? we can not go on hating every nation.
      You are somewhat right when you say what you said, BUT not ALL those that call themselve christian are real, YESHUA WAS,IS AND ALWAYS will be an HEBREW foremost, and churches and denominations are usually after name and fame, but the real CHRISTIAN IS grafted in the roots of JESSE, davids granddad.they stand with ISRAEL so do not KNOCK them. and i was fed and looked after for 7 years by gentiles, but after the war i never seen a rabbi or a jew coming to give us a loaf of bread., for a matter of fact i did not know we were jews until I WAS 59 is that good?
      but in the meantime i was looking for HASHEM and i found that YESHUA was a close relation to HIM, so did i sin or belong to satan because i love a JEW?I TEACH THORAH these days and belong to Beit Yeshua Ha MASSIACH. not to any of these denominations. Am i a JUDAISER? no i love my people the HEBREWS and the LEVITES not the followers of judah the maccabee.i love ISRAEL, love these YOU call JEWS, but before blaming or judging my people i would say to you" GROW UP BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT"

    "The (churches) conference denied 3,000 years of Jewish life in the land stretching between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River" – Guilio Meoti

    In other words they don't believe their own Bible.
    Doesn't that make them apostates or heretics who should be burnt at the stake like their medieval cousins?

      sir or you do not know history or you are innocently been powered against your friends,
      it was'n't the christian that divided the bible but the English with CHURCHILL etc.
      who created Syria in 1944?who created Jordan? and IRACQ WAS supported by whom?, Saudi Arabia was created by whom?come on be fair now! christians( so called) have done heaps of wrongs, but the light horse brigade set you free ( Australian kids) Napoleon wanted to recreate the real ISRAEL, who defeated him?

      • http://Drudge David

        To Some Gadgets,Jesus is returning to Jerusalem,not New York,Istanbul,Mecca,etc.The Jewish people are not a prideful people.That’s a pretty arrogant statement to make.By the way,Jerusalem,in Hebrew “Yerushalayim”is plural,inferring a duality.New Jerusalem descends on old Jerusalem.The two become one.This all happens when Israel say”Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord”Matthew 23.Isaiah states that Israel will mourn for the one they pierced.Pride indeed.The Jews,including Jesus have paid a high price for all mankind.It’s a wonder we haven’t been wiped out by now as the civilization before Noah.Read the whole Bible,and try to learn it in it’s original language if you can.

  • Andy Gill

    These fools have nothing to say about their Christian brethren who are being persecuted in the Middle East.

    In Egypt, there have recently been pogroms against the Copts; worshippers have been killed, and churches burned. Yet there have been no calls to boycott Egypt or call Islam to account. So much for brotherly love!

  • Asher

    Those of us who know the bible know when blasphemers are distoring the bible and the scriptures…The Jews gave the Christians the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we know God's word, and his commandments and no amount of false deceivers will sway us from our purpose and goals. Anti-semetism and hatred have no place in God's purpose for all of mankind! Muslims are God's people too, but some of them have thrown away the grace and blessings for an Ideology of Hatred!

  • mcrobbins

    Who pays attention to the World Council of Churches, an organization that is a loose collective of mainly left-wing dying churches? The organization lost credibility long ago when they defended every violent Marxist groups fighting for "national liberation." So defending terrorists is not new for them. They have always sided with the barbarian butchers over the victims. (Often the victims of these Marxist rampages were Christians.) Now the new fashion among leftists since the implosion of the "shining red star" is to be anti-Zionist. So it is not suprising that the World Council of Churches heaps slander on the Israelis and defends organizations like HAMAS. What one word can describe this organization? How about this one: hypocrisy.

  • ashmorris

    In a way I think that replacement theology might be either behind this or used as an excuse. The Bible is very clear concerning who owns Israel. The only way that a Christian can believe in his or her religion can call the Jews an "occupying force" there is if they believe that the Biblical promises given to the Jews are no longer valid. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

  • StephenD

    Those of us who call ourselves Christian and are ashamed of these organizations can find no value in their thinking and would speak against them find ourselves…voiceless. Who do we tell? What could we do to stop this nonsense? I can only say, as helpless as I feel about all this, that I would stand with Israel, Shoulder to Shoulder against the very Gates of Hell as I believe any true Christian would.

  • Stand Firm

    The Bible clearly states over and over that the Jews are God's chosen people. And people often forget that JESUS was born a Jew! Jesus came from the line of David (Jewish), that is why the Jews are, as the Bible says, "The apple of His eye". For everything Jesus establishes, Satan tries to undo. Attacks against Jews, anti-semitism, Arab hatred of Israel, is all based from satanic forces, because Satan wants nothing more than to destroy anything that belongs to God. That includes Christians. Persecution of Christians and Jews is at an all-time high in our world today. But let that be a warning to anyone who has not placed their faith and trust in Christ. Christian persecution on a global scale is a prophetic signpost that Christ's return for his church is very soon. Are you ready?

    All I know is that there’s a war between good and bad. God is love and if you can find it in your heart to torture and hate your fellow human beings then you have gone away from God.

  • LindaRivera

    The churches and "Christian" organizations that spew forth such venom and hate against Jews and Israel – should give themselves their real name: The church of satan — and the devil's servants. In their all consuming HATE for G-D, Jesus the JEW, the Bible and G-D's Laws – YOU SHALL NOT MURDER; they are extremely dangerous.

    If Jesus had been born in our time, from the time his mother carried Jesus in her womb, Jesus, his mother and family would have been targeted for MURDER by the Islamics for being Jews living in their Biblical Jewish homeland of Israel.

    There are no protests from the phony Christian G-D haters when Muslims repeatedly desecrate and destroy Jewish and Christian holy places in Israel. The Muslim vicious attacks on Bible hero, Joseph's Tomb-where Muslims have attacked and killed IDF soldiers guarding the holy place. For thousands of years, Jews and Christians have admired Joseph – the wonderful role model who showed outstanding ethics, love and forgiveness.

    No protests from the evil and phony Christian churches and organizations that the majority Christian cities of Bethlehem in Judea, Israel and Nazareth, Israel, are now majority Muslim. Most terrified Christians have been driven out by cruel and relentless Muslim persecution.

  • g_jochnowitz

    God created the world, but He doesn't have the power simply to forgive sin. Punishment has to go somewhere. God isn't wise enough to forgive; He can simply divert punishment. He diverted it to Himself, in the form of His son. Had Jesus not died, we would all have to go to Hell. Christians should be grateful to Judas. Had Judas not pointed Jesus out to the Romans, there would be no salvation, since punishment would not have been diverted.
    God needed a scapegoat in order to prevent universal damnation.

    • abdelage

      God not only have the power to forgive but also provided a way for us to attain forgiveness. Jesus died on the cross for the penalty of our sins…the work of forgiveness is done….all we have to do is to believe in the One that God had sent…..through His Son we are forgiven…all you need to do do is accept forgiveness by accepting His Son….that easy………….simplicityinthegosple.com…..that is where you will find the answer

      • g_jochnowitz

        It makes no sense to die on the cross as the penalty for our sins. It makes no sense for suffering to be necessary in order for there to be forgiveness.
        It makes no sense to believe that the way to achieve salvation is by believing that this pointless death will save us.
        If God had any common sense He could just forgive without demanding faith in something unlikely and without diverting the punishment.

      • josephasimon

        to jochnowichz, mister you realy believe in a god"YOU"! it is love and MERCY that gave you life but your mind is set to deni real love and real mercy.
        therefore the only thing to do is to meet you in prayers and ask that you may SEE the truth, not made of man but made by the almighty. i set you in my prayers.

  • Marty

    catholics have slaughtered defenseless Jews for 1700 years without pity or remorse. They and muslims will remain the existential enemy and murderers of Jews for the indefinite future. Anti-semitism is in their theological DNA. There is no known cure for this disease. Jews need to prepare to defend themselves and be on guard at all times.

    • skulldiggerin

      Not only RC, but we Protestants as well.
      Remember Luther's ravings against The Jews ?
      Alas that's Why GOD HAD TO RECALL Luther Quickly.
      The streets of Jerusalem ran red with Jewish Blood during
      The Crusades. It was Church persecution against the Jews that
      drove them into an alliance with accursed Islam.
      All the so-called Arab "science" and Muslim "art" were in fact due to
      Jewish Learned men who had to Arabize their names to accommodate
      their filthy rulers.
      Any Christian who vilifies Israel is no CHRISTian at all.
      Eichmann's Einsatzkommando leaders counted even one
      Lutheran minister in their ranks.

    To all the liars on here: you can call me names and DENY it all you want, but the jews DID kill Jesus. Can you blame true Christians for resenting jews for this? Saying the Romans did it would be like saying that a John Welks Booth's gun killed Abraham Lincoln, not John Welks Booth himself. It's right in the Bible (which I know you jews reject anyway). What do you Shabbas goy Christians on here gotta say about that, huh?

    "Then assembled together the CHIEF PRIESTS, AND THE SCRIBES, and the ELDERS OF THE PEOPLE, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, And consulted that they might TAKE JESUS BY SUBTILTY, AND KILL HIM. But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people."
    Matthew 26:3-5

    "And therefore did the JEWS PERSECUTE JESUS, AND SOUGHT TO SLAY HIM, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God."
    John 5:16-18

    "After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the JEWS SOUGHT TO KILL HIM . . . Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? WHY GO YE ABOUT TO KILL ME? The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who GOETH ABOUT TO KILL THEE? . . . Then said some of them of Jerusalem, IS NOT THIS HE, WHOM THEY SEEK TO KILL?"
    John 7:1, 19-20, 25

    "Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore HE THAT DELIVERED ME UNTO THEE HATH THE GREATER SIN. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar."
    John 19:10-12

    • g_jochnowitz

      Jesus was born so that He could suffer. He was born so that the sins of the humanity could be punished through the Crucifixion. One should be grateful to the Jews, and especially, to Judas, for saving humans (or at least some of them) from eternal damnation. http://www.jochnowitz.net/Essays/GospelOfJudas.ht

      • http://vnnforum.com DeShawn

        I agree, so you admit the jews killed Jesus then, right? What do you have to say about that, you pathetic neocon jew liars?

        • g_jochnowitz

          What you are saying, DeShawn, is that Christianity is incapable of forgiveness.
          Pontius Pilate had absolute power. He might have wanted to please the crowd, but he didn't have to, since they were a subject people. The Jews wanted him to forgive Barabbas. Pilate could have satisfied the crowd and forgiven Jesus as well. There was nothing to stop him from granting two pardons. However, he wasn't the pardoning type.
          Christianity has existed for 2000 years. Not once during that period has it occurred to a single Christian that Pilate might have granted two pardons.
          Since Jesus was both 100% human and 100% God, he could both die and be immortal. His death didn't have any permanent effect. Besides, his suffering saved Christians who had faith in him from eternal damnation. Why on earth should Christains be irritated at the temporary death of God who was also the son of God? As I said before, they should be grateful. If Jesus hadn't died, there would be no alternative to Hell.
          Here is an essay of mine on the subject: http://www.jochnowitz.net/Essays/FaithUnjustified

      JESUS HIMSELF SAID FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DO. I BELIEVE GOD HAS ANSWERED THAT PRAYER . IF HE HAS FORGIVEN WHO ARE WE TO CONDEMN

    • Carole Murphrey

      That's like saying that President Obama's cabinet is a clear picture and representation of ALL Americans. Give me a break. Who wrote the New Testament? Gentiles? No. It is a Jewish book. Christianity began as a messianic sect of Judaism until the pagans infiltrated and stripped it of all of its Jewish heritage. The administration in Jerusalem at that time was detested by most of the Jewish population. Now for 2,000 years ALL Jews are labelled as "Christ-Killers"? That would be like labeling all Americans for the next 2000 years as liberal Democrats. Jesus is not a Christian. He is a Jew. His mother is a Jew. My world of Christians see no difference between you and and the non-Christian Jew haters. You serve "another" Jesus–not mine.

      "Shabbas goy Christians ", DeShawn

      Really DeShawn? Is this your Christian Love? You spew segments of God's Word with a demonic perversion to support your twisted thinking. Yet you are obviously oblivious to the whole Word of God….particularly leaving out all He says about Love.

      Jesus was a Jew DeShawn, as were each of the Apostles and most of the early church. If your twisted thinking were based in truth, then the Christian Church would never have happened. Thankfully Christianity is set apart from race, and is dependent on personal repentance and faith in Christ Jesus alone for salvation.

      • Sue

        Sadly, your attitude, like the hateful attitude of the NON-Christian churches referenced in this article are exhibits of the hatred that the Word prophesies about many so called Christians and heathens in the last days concerning Israel.

        I am thankful to be one of the majority of commentors here that love Israel and her people, because we understand the Word and believe God's promises for Israel, and His love for them. Who are you, or anyone on earth to presume to judge the Nation of Israel, when God has said that they will ALWAYS remain before Him?

      The Romans killed Jesus. If his execution had been ordered by the Jewish leadership, it would have been by stoning (assuming the charges warranted execution, which they really didn't). Pilate was setting a trap, as he knew Jews weren't fully assimilating into Roman culture, & they all knew that any support from the mostly-Jewish crowd would likely have resulted in a massacre. Pilate was under orders to maintain control of the territory, & Jesus presented a threat to that control, so any claim of his hesitation to go forward with the execution is a misrepresentation of the political climate of that time, & is highly unlikely.

      On the other hand, if you're a Christian who truly believes Jesus was sent to die for you, then all the events were pre-determined anyway & all the anger directed at the Jews for the death of Jesus is hypocritical; people who do so are just looking for someone to hate, & of course the Jews are an easy target for them. If you believe it was meant to happen, then your anger & hatred are wrong, as nothing would have changed the events as they happened. Likewise, such hatred is decidedly against everything that Jesus taught; therefore you're not actually a Christian because you're ignoring his primary teachings to turn the other cheek & love your enemies.

      • Alan

        Quite so. The Sanhedrin, representing the Jewish people, proposed Jesus' execution, and Pilate, representing the Gentile authorities, actually had it carried out. So you can't blame the Jews for Jesus death without blaming the gentiles too. And since Jesus' death was a propitiation (look it up if you don't understand the word) for our sins, then who was responsible? Everyone who sins, you and me both.

  • Rob

    Those who bless Israel, will be blessed. Those who condemn Israel, will be condemned. I heard my mom say that many times. Do you think God unilaterally abrogates his contracts (The Covenant)?

  • Ron Lewenberg

    "From Norwich to Itamar, the Jewish martyrs are an everlasting and heroic stain in this horrible, theological blood libel."
    This is true, but not in the way you intended. The Jews who died in Norwich were literally martyred because of the first use of the Blood Libel in Europe. In 1144, a tanner's apprentice named William was murdered, and the Jews were collectively blamed with accusations of using his blood. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_of_Norwich
    When these Jews were killed in 1144, 1189, or 1190 is almost immaterial.

  • Edisa

    John 10:11, 16-18 Jesus said "I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep…. I have other sheep which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock, with One Shepherd. For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it up again. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father."
    Anyone in the Christian religion who fails to understand this point is grievously mistaken–we are not called to blame anyone for the cross but rather to realize that our own sins are the cause, and to be grateful that God provided the way to pay for those sins in His own authority. Because everyone's sins have been so painfully covered by our Messiah, all of us have the option of repentance and receiving forgiveness, and of receiving His loving Holy Spirit into our own lives. God's justice is satisfied in the suffering of Messiah, and His eternal life is a gift to us as He extends mercy. The cross is about MERCY and ETERNAL LIFE WINNING over death and hell, not about BLAME.

    I love Israel. I always have and always will. I love God and God loves Israel and God wants us all to love Him and to love Israel. The cross is about God's love that is so big and so full of life and power, it defeats evil for eternity. That is the kind of love God wants us to have. Messiah is the Seed of the Woman who took the bruise in His heel and thereby crushed the serpent's head, as Genesis chapter 3 foretold. God's strategy from the foundation of the world won that battle.

  • Ghostwriter

    During World War II,Pope Pius XII defended Jews against the Nazis. By all accounts,he didn't Nazism very much. Sadly,there were those in the Church who helped Nazis escape justice in spite of what the pope had done. Not all Catholics are anti-Jewish as one of the earlier commentors to this website seem to suggest. I'm not Catholic but those who are anti-semitic deserve all the scorn that's possible to give.

    • skulldiggerin

      That's why after the war, Leftards in the West(mainly American Jews) began
      a vilification campaign against This Pope, accusing him of being pro-Nazi.
      The main argument of their attack focused on the March '44 reprisal massacre
      of 300 Italian hostages in the Ardeatine Caves just outside Rome, after a
      commie partisan bomb attack killed 29 SS policemen.
      Although the killing didn't specifically target Jews, this event was used to accuse
      the Holy See of cowardice and anti-Semitism.
      In fact many Jews were given shelter behind the Vatican Walls, but The Pope
      was in a delicate position before the Nazis and the rescue operations must
      be conducted with the utmost discretion.
      Meanwhile, Britain and the US were in a position to do much more for the Jews
      but couldn't, because of the latent anti-Semitism in their political circles of power
      (Henry Ford for instance)
      The book about the Rome massacre was by Robert Katz, a Brooklyn American
      author, was one of the most vicious attacks against Pope Pius xii.

  • Lee Raines

    American Christians, God's Word asks that we respect and support the Jewish people. Paraphrasing: Since our spiritual blerssings find their origin in a Messiah who was (and is) Jewish, we should support the Jews with our material blessings. God's Word also says that (someday) His chosen people (Jews) will confess Christ as their Messiah. As a Christian I have support in my heart for the Jewish people.

  • http://simplicityinthegospel.com Andre Delage

    The Jews are God chosen people. Here is the evident to prove it.

    One day in the late 19th Century, Queen Victoria of England reportedly asked her Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, this question…"Mr. Prime Minister, what evidence can you give me of the existence of God?" Disraeli thought for a moment and then replied, "The Jew, your majesty."

    Denying God existence is denying Israel right to exist. In 1948, a long waited prophetic event came to past. The Jews were given the right to exist in there own land, again.

    Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.' Ezekiel 37

    I believe that God has a plan for this nation, which He intends to be a blessing to all the nations of the earth. "I will bless those who bless you and curse him who curse you" Gen 12:3.

    The truth is the body of Christ (The Church) and Israel (nation) have their purpose in the fulfilment of Bible prophecies. The Church commission is to spread the gospel of salvation to Jews and gentiles (gospel for the forgiveness of our sins and a promise of everlasting life) and to preach the Kingdom of God (Christ return) to all nations as a witness. It is not commission to force conversion to the entire world. The restoration of the nation Israel is to prove to the world nations that God love Israel, and to inform the entire world that the end time of this world government system is at hand and that all nations will give account on their behaviours toward all Jews worldwide and the nation Israel.

  • QSuzy

    What the Christians and their respective churches are saying in this article is that they don't believe the Original Testament nor the New Testament. So what do they believe? They believe that Islamic killers, including the ones who stick bombs in their own child's orifices, murdering their own child while using him to murder others, are perfectly justified in doing so……..as long as their 'targets' are Jews. Hitler would be proud of those cowardly Christians who don't even care that Ishmael murders real, Bible-believing Christians on a daily basis…….that's their new hero-Ishmael. They apparently think Ishmael is new school progressive and Jesus is an old school hasbeen. This is extremely frustrating and sad for me, a proud Jew.

      Shalom -QSuzy I can hear your hurt. May HaShem help you. You are right to say that you are proud to be Jewish. Thank you for your comments.

    Well, what else we CHRISTians need to be told ?

    Well,I also heard that a few years after the end of World War II and the establishment of the state of Israel,the Tel Aviv Symphony Orchestra gave a special concert for Pope Pius XII for what he had done for the Jews. It makes one wonder. If Pius XII was as bad as his detractors said that he was,why would one of Israel's most premier orchestras bother giving a concert for this man? Again,it makes one wonder.

    I stopped going to churches that belonged to the world council of churches 30 years ago. They are leftist and have no belief in the teachings of the Messiah. Thank you for the report Mr. Meotti.

    I notice the article includes "Lutherans." That is not necessarily true. The ELCA Lutherans the largest Lutheran group) belong to the World Council of Churches, but the Missouri Synod, AALC, WELS, and many other Lutheran Synods do not. Just as the ELCA allows homosexual pastors, the others don't. So it must always be made clear what Lutherans you are talking about.

    Can you see the good news here, reading between the lines? The NWO is doing this, and when they've taken over, the end will be VERY near. It says so in the end of the Book, and I, for one, am looking forward to it.

    WHAT IF there is no God? WHAT IF we are created by advanced civilizations hundreds
    of thousands of years ago? Tends to make stupid conversations about who is 'Chosen'
    a waste of time. Religions and governments serve ONLY one purpose, to polarize man against man and every one of you bought into it. Worry not, mass extinction is coming soon when Jesus 'beams' down again to kick your dumb asses.

    Revelation 3:7
    And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
    Revelation 3:8
    I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
    Revelation 3:9
    Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

    Jesus Christ died for the sins of the whole world. We ALL killed him. Repent.

  • JLM

    How about accepting personal responsibility for the death of Jesus on the cross? It is my sin and yours that caused him to be crucified. Some people tend to gloss over this essential truth and blame others. It means that they haven't fully grasped the ugliness of the sin nature and their need for forgiveness.

    • Sue

      YES!! Exactly true.

    FOOLS…JUDAH IS ONE OF TWELVE CHOSEN…YOU ARE ISRAEL!

    2000 years of Christian antisemitism and persecution continue.After next Jewish bloodbath the churches plays in tolerance for a while. Then the next ally(Muslims) appear and the next bloodbath is ready. Naive Jews still believe in their good will

  • JEW LOVER

    SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE NEED A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST! WHY NOT ASK HIM, WHY NOT BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
    JUST ASK IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

  • Bill Ducker

    These anti semitic Christians ought to be ashamed of themselves . Yeshua is a Jew. i wouldn't be surprised when He comes back is wearing a tallit! As gentiles you would not have a faith as all the disciples G-d chose to bring the Good News of Messiah HaMashiac were Jewish. The Tenach says in leviticus"without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sins" Yeshua became the blood sacrifice in order to atone for our sins.
    As far as boycotting Israeli/Jewish goods I would give up your mobile phone,Windows 7, or XP,text messaging,emailing to start with as they are all Israeli developed there. Stop taking insulin if diabetic stop taking medicines as most developed by Teva , throw your Bob Dylan, Madonna etc. recordings even the self serve petrol station is a Jewish invention.The list is "endless" The Tenach says that the Jewish people were scattered so that the nations might be blessed by them! Yours sincerely, Bill in Nottingham UK

      Hi Bill, I agree with your message that some Christians should be ashamed of themselves. I have ancestors who were both Jewish and Huguenots. An interesting mix. both groups were hounded and persecuted for their beliefs. I don't know of any atrocities carried out by them to other people holding different views and beliefs. What are the Christians afraid of???? The leaders just want the power to control the people and they use the fear of Christ to do this. The ten commandments are a good idea for all of us to live by. So why should it matter how or what we believe as individuals as long as we live by those rules. Pity the Christians didn't do that in WW2, and the Catholic church didn't when ordering it's troops to kill Huguenots.My Grt grandmother eight times removed in 1717 was shot dead for not following the Pope. UGH!!!!! He was a sick and evil person and I'm sure Christ would not approve of his actions.

    How can any intelligent person believe in the fairy story in the new testament. It's exactly the same story as with Mithraism. Mithras was alive 800 yrs before Jesus of Nazareth. Look it up in Google if you don't know about this.I'm not surprised it wasn't taught in the R.E. lessons at school. If it had been then most of the churches would be emptier than they are now.

    The “World Council of Churches” does get the point that Jesus was a Jew, right? And by rejecting Moses (Jews) they are rejecting Him. “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” John 5:46-47

  • joseph from simeon

    you are right with the exception that you do NOT obey that law.and you do not BElieve in those that wrote it, i say shm'a yisrael , i love you because I AM A JEW(HEBREW) but not a Judaiser. you understand? or do i have to teach where JUDAISM comes from? it is NOT from MOISHE because their were LEVITES,. they came from or at the destruction of the first temple, from judah maccabee.I love you really but please learn about the whole of the sciptures, i do not pretend to be any great scholar or rabbi, but i know and recognise the stupidities our human race as achieved by thinking that we are closer than the others, because faith in G-D is not a game you play like chess, because HASHEM will be the final winner, not me nor you with our Opinions but him for his love for the Hebrews that means you, me and believe it or not YESHUA as well shalom
