But for Simpson, it shouldn’t come as a surprise as missionary work is a founding principle of his organisation.
“This
subject preaching about Jesus is a touchy one [in Israel]. We do
understand that. We have to be sensitive to it,” Simpson admitted.
“But
that’s what we do. That’s what we are. We are Christians that we are
called to go to all the world and preach the gospel. That’s what we’re
trained to do, and that’s what we’re doing,” Simpson asserted.
It is not a new thing. Rav Meir Kahane, H'YD was opposed to these groups and once said when he comes into power, he will nationalize their HQ and turn it into a yeshiva.
ReplyDeleteTo my knowledge, zionists have never supported missionaries.

ReplyDeleteI heard Rabbi Kahane speak at Queens College. I read his excellent book Never Again. He hated Christian missionaries trying to convert Jews for Jesus. The Vatican today is pushing for a two-state solution. See http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/282862
It said Parolin, the Vatican’s top diplomat, expressed “the concern of the Holy See regarding possible unilateral actions that may further jeopardize the search for peace between Israelis and Palestinians, as well as the delicate situation in the Middle East.”
According to the coalition agreement between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz, the sovereignty move could have taken place on Wednesday, but no agreement has yet been reached with Washington yet on the modalities of the move under the peace proposal announced by US President Donald Trump in January. The Vatican statement reiterated its position in support of a two-state solution, saying, “Israel and the State of Palestine have the right to exist and to live in peace and security, within internationally recognized borders.”
KA, I love the Evangelists. See http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Generic/Generic/SendPrint?print=1&type=0&item=282851
In an interview with Israel Hayom, Evans praised the Trump Administration for its close relationship with Israel. "Today we have a dream team. The Secretary of State is Mike Pompeo, an Evangelical, and he has changed the direction of the State Department, which has traditionally sought to weaken Israel. Vice President Mike Pence is Israel's biggest supporter in Washington as [Israeli] Ambassador Ron Dermer has stated. And above all is President Trump, who is the biggest supporter the Evangelical community has ever had and the most pro-Israel president who has ever lived." Addressing the upcoming US presidential elections, Evens said that "the question now is whether Trump wants to be president. The Evangelical community gave Trump the presidency for two reasons: to be pro-life (meaning against abortions) and to support Israel. We have not forgotten who owns the land of Israel or the theological basis for it, We believe that the land belongs to the Jewish people, because that was G-d's decision in the Hebrew Bible and you cannot say that the bible is illegal,"
KA, I’m against Jews for Jesus as was Rabbi Kahane.
“In the Holy Land, “Jews and Arabs are dying every day without Jesus. This can’t continue,” Simpson warned, rationalizing God TV’s broadcasting. “
I’m for Trump and Netanyahu.
