Abe Foxman & Robertson McQuilikin — Regarding Christian Evangelism

“… [T]he anti-Jewish rhetoric that mars several books of the Christian New Testament has been shown to reflect not historical fact but the rivalry at the time the books were written between Jews who followed Jesus and those who did not…Although it is supposedly motivated by love for the Jews, this idea [that Jews should be converted] is inherently anti-Semitic in that it implicitly denigrates the value of Jewish belief.”

Abe Foxman,
Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism

“I had read a position paper prepared for the (Lausane III) conference by high-level evangelical leaders. They rejected the church’s historic position of giving priority to the evangelistic purpose of missions …. But my apprehension was raised a notch by the cover story of December’s “Christianity Today” magazine — “Jesus vs. Paul.”

The thesis was that a great battle rages in evangelical circles over whether the mission of the church is primarily to follow Jesus who cared for the sick, the poor, the oppressed, or whether we should primarily follow Paul with the gospel of justification, of extending the hope of eternal salvation. The author maintained that this is the major confrontation in the evangelical churches of America today.”

Look’s like Abe’s viewpoint is resonating among many “Christians.”

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.
