Jews for Jesus
Pretty ballsy of Pence to pick the one Rabbi in the whole country who believes the rest of the Jews who don’t believe in Jesus are excluded from heaven, which would include those killed in the massacre, to give a prayer for those killed in the massacre.
Don’t believe everything you think.

Re: Jews for Jesus
Jews for Jesus is an evangelical scam.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Re: Jews for Jesus
Guy couldn’t even do messianic Jew right....a spokeswoman for the religious group said the Union of Messianic Jewish Congregations stripped Jacobs of his rabbinic ordination “after our judicial board found him guilty of libel.”
Pence got a fake messianic Jew to give the prayer to the victims in Pittsburgh. It boggles the mind.

Re: Jews for Jesus
Not much one for religious tolerance, are you Spells? Kind of a strange time to be so openly anti-Semitic, though.

Re: Jews for Jesus
Jews for Jesus was an idea from an evangelical whose name I forget that many US Jews were culturally Jewish. but not deeply religious. He thought this might make them good candidates for conversion to evangelicalism if Jewish terms were sufficiently aped.
This doesn’t work, because when you tell a Jewish person “hey Jewish too, I’m just a Jew who thinks Jesus was the messiah,” they don’t need a theology degree to be pretty sure they’re talking to a Christian.
You used to see their ads on vehicles around Skokie, but it mostly offends Jews and I’m pretty sure they just survive on that Jesus, Inc. money that flows into conversion efforts.
Digging one of them up to talk about an attack on religious Jews is sort of horrible.

Re: Jews for Jesus
I see. So, if a Jew converts to Christianity, do they stop being Jewish?Grandpa's Spells wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 1:50 amJews for Jesus was an idea from an evangelical whose name I forget that many US Jews were culturally Jewish. but not deeply religious.

Re: Jews for Jesus
Yes. "Jewish" is a religion, right?
To the same extent that "Christian" is, anyway.

Re: Jews for Jesus
A Jew who affirms the divinity of Jesus cannot be Jewish. A "Jew" who denies the divinity of God cannot be a Jew either. The term Secular Jew comes to mind, or in some cases a "cultural Jew".Grandpa's Spells wrote: ↑Thu Nov 01, 2018 4:27 pm Jews for Jesus was an idea from an evangelical whose name I forget that many US Jews were culturally Jewish. but not deeply religious.

Fuck if I know.
I learned about a minute ago that the question is, uh, multifaceted:

Re: Jews for Jesus
No surprise that black Jesus doesn't work.

You should have tried praying to white Jesus. Maybe you would have gotten somewhere.

Re: Jews for Jesus
How'd you do that?
Jesus couldn't even save his own black ass. If he knew anything about white people he'd have told his African brothas to start sharpening their spears.

Thud, you have to have the original link and then put spaces between the brackets and the link. Hit "quote" on my post to see how it looks.
