AddReply(236024,"To Debbie #45","ellen","Golan Heights","09/30/07","That brochure belongs to ICZC (not ICEJ), another group attending The Feast.\nIt is a love crusade of sorts.  ICZC - The International Christian Zionist Center - considers Christian Zionists to be the tribe of Ephraim.  They are very big on the grafting concept of fusing Judaism and Christianity into one (and they use sticks/twigs to represent this union in some of their ceremonies and baptisms).  \n\nAt the 2006  Feast of the Tabernacles,  ICZC held a symbolic wedding ceremony between Judah and Ephraim (I\'m not sure who stood in for us, but I\'m glad I wasn\'t there) and they claim the relationship was consummated during the Feast. \n\nI can see why the Chief Rabbinate would be concerned.\n\nEvery time Jewish leaders or laypeople express gratitude, love, oneness, or botherhood in our relationship with certain evangelical groups, these Christian Zionists see it as evidence of our longing to become one with them (in a spiritual - almost erotic sense).\n\nThe Feast parade empowers those feelings:\n\n\"As we passed through the streets of Jerusalem the reaction between us and the Israelis on the sidewalks was electric. Amidst the shouts of \"We love you, thank you for standing with us\" ... The fire of the Holy Spirit was on us and touched the hungry hearts of those who looked on. \"");

As Jews, we are commanded to worship only the Creator of the universe, not a dead Jew (Jesus), because anything less than the Creator is an insult to human intelligence. Only the Creator is worthy of human worship. Christians, by definition, cannot worship properly because by their constitution (the Council of Nicea) which rejects the Yoke of Heaven (the Mitzvot & the concept of Commandments), they thereby reject the Creator.

AddReply(234726,"www.JewsForJudaism.org","Rabbi Kravitz","Los Angeles","09/23/07","According to a careful reading of the New Testament, Talmud and other historical sources, Jesus\' original followers keep the commandments as law and did not accept the divinity of Jesus. This was eventually altered by Paul, (who never met Jesus in person but claimed a dubious and contradictory personal revelation), and later by the Emperor Constantine.  The Trinity, deification of Jesus and the abrogation of the commandments are man-made innovations that transformed Christianity into the current (pagan based) theology that Jesus would not have recognized or accepted.  Those Christian (messianics) who say they only believe that Jesus was the “son of God” and not “God,” are being disingenuous. As part of a trinity this would make him a co-equal partner and therefore God. Either belief, Jesus as God or a Trinity, are not biblical and are considered idolatrous for Jews.

AddReply(234388,"Jews for Judaism","Rabbi Kravitz","Los Angeles","09/21/07","It is difficult to understand how so many Jews seem to have forgotten that it is a universally accepted Jewish principal that a Jew who believes in Christianity is committing Idolatry. Participating in a Christian prayer event or speaking in a church, especially when “messianic-Jews” are present, is akin to participating in a form of Idolatry. One Orthodox Jew spoke in a church where a messianic Jew recited the blessing over the Shabbat candles “in the name of Jesus,” by saying, “l’hadlik nar shel Shabbat b’shem Yeshua HaMasiach.”  \n\nIn an attempt to make their message more palatable to Jews, missionaries deliberately focus on Jesus as the “Messiah” and avoid mentioning that they believe Jesus is G-d and part of a trinity. In fact, Moishe Rosen, the founder of Jews for Jesus wrote in his guide for converting Jews, “Don’t get sidetracked for the moment with discussions of the deity of Christ or the virgin birth…Important as these may be, correct theology is not what will save your friend.”\n\nThis is another example of how far some Christians will go to deceptively share the Gospel with Jews. I have heard Christians defend this approach by quoting the following two New Testament passages, \"What then?  Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed” Philippians 1:18; \nand, “to the Jews I become as a Jew, that I might win Jews” 1 Corinthians 9:20.\n\nBy becoming intimate with evangelical Christians we have inadvertently emboldened the “messianic movement” and placed a stumbling block before our less observant Jewish brethren.
