CONVERT, DAMN YOU! CONVERT!
By Hugh Fogelman
The Los
Angeles Times, in its
The
newspaper article continues: “Southern
Baptist officials say Catholics’ agreement not to try to convert them denies
Jews salvation.” The U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops and the National Council of Synagogues issued a statement on
The Los
Angeles Times story continued; “Such sentiments did not sit well with some
Protestants. Soon after the document was issued, the Southern Baptist
Convention (SBC) director of Jewish outreach said, ‘there can be no more extreme form of anti-Semitism than to deny Jews
a chance to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Asking Christians to abandon
evangelism even for a single ethnic group, is akin to asking Jews to eat ham
and cheese sandwiches,’ Jim Sibley told Baptist Press, the denomination’s
official news service.”
In a
television debate on the Phil Donahue show (MSNBC), Albert Mohler
Jr, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in
When I told
my wife how much this upset me she replied: “Why? If Jews really knew their
rich heritage, their religious beliefs, their Scriptures―no
one could ever convert them. All they have to do is to say NO, and walk away.”
Sounds simple, doesn’t it?
Christianity,
by design, is a replacement religion. Jews have been forced, driven off,
murdered, annihilated, kidnapped, ridiculed, assimilated and all other manner
of anti-Semitic garbage that the world could throw at them.
Though often
ignored, one of the Jews biggest challenge today, is
to retain a Jewish Judaism. Besides the multi-million dollar onslaught waged
against them by overt Christian missionaries there are innumerous covert
Christian and/or syncretism groups posing as legitimate variants of traditional
Torah true Judaism.
But perhaps the worst people are those frauds who
try to convince Jews that belief in Jesus not only does not preclude such a believer from Jewry, but also is actually acceptable and necessary to bring about the messianic era for Jews. Despite the fact that absolutely no Hebrew or Aramaic or Arabic Jewish literature mentions Jesus or attributes any halakha
(laws) or aggada (sayings) to Jesus, yet some Jews are drawn into a belief that our messiah has
already come when Judaism says so.
To throw a
curve to those Jews who should know to reject such obvious lies, the new breed of missionary changes
Jesus’ into a Hebrew sounding name. To the missionary, this is better to lure
the unsuspecting who are told of Jesus as:Yeshua ben Miriam; Yehoshua ben Miriam; Yahshua Ha Masiakh; Yahshua the Messiah; Yehoshua haMoshiakh; Yahsua bar Yosef; Yeshua ben Yussif; Yehoshua hanatzret;
Rabbi Yeshua or Ribi Yehoshua!
Deceit is the norm for these “wolves in sheep clothing.” They
use these names and other Jewish terms and words to lure unsuspected Jews
looking for Jewish
websites for information about Judaism. Some of these fake Jewish organizations
are: Beit Netzarim; Netzari Judaism; Orthodox Netzarim Judaism;
Association of
Torah Observant Nazarenes; Sefard-Shalom; Shalom Sefarad
B'nai Aryeh Y'hudah
Ministry; and Bet Yosef Institute of Torah
Federation of Messianic
Sephardim. Neither is
there such a collection of Jewish scripture known as: Brit Hadash,
B'rit Chadash,
Brit Chadasha or Nazarean
Codicil.

WEA, representing 120 national and regional church fellowships and 75
nondenominational ministries, has reaffirmed and reissued a 1989 declaration
defending Jewish evangelism. The 1989 declaration was written by 16 theologians
from nine nations. One of them, the Reverend. J.I.
Packer, an Anglican teaching at
The Catholic bishops said deepened appreciation of God’s UNBROKEN covenant with the Jewish people means “campaigns that target Jews for conversion to Christianity are no longer acceptable in the Catholic Church.”
But,
the evangelical paper defends such targeted evangelism and denies that

Hugh’s comments:
1. The Catholic Church NOW recognizes God’s
unbroken covenant with the Jewish people. Why did they not know this before? Maybe
they finally read their bible "In
those days it will happen that ten men, of all the different languages of the
nations, will take hold, they will take hold of the corner of the garment of a
Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is
with you!' " (Zechariah 8:23) AND "O
Lord, Who are my power and my strength and my refuge in the day of trouble, to
You nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, "Only lies have
our fathers handed down to us, emptiness in which there is nothing of any
avail!" (Jeremiah
16.19)
2. Many biblical scholars believe that the last
paragraph of Matthew was added on by the early church fathers; “Go ye therefore and teach all nations
baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Ghosts –
teaching then to observe all things whatsoever I (Jesus) have commanded you” (verse
28:19-20). In other words, they feel that the author of Matthew NEVER wrote
that.

Christian perspective - the way our country
was meant to be!”
