First of all, let's get some distinctions out of the way. For the most part, the Jews living in Israel today are not Christian. They might be some day, but there not today. So Emile takes the hard line approach, they lead many estray, just like any other non-Christian religion. Hence, they are damning people to hell. Do you agree with this?
That being said, my opinion, substantiated by the bible, is that the Jews will one day turn to their Messiah Jesus. I think God tells us this in the bible.
I do not condone anti-semitism, I am Jewish and suffer much from it as well. And I understand the major problems you have had with it, in regards to you and your family. I am very sorry for that! But I don't think Emile is going out shooting Jews.
I think he is just letting you know he does not appreciate Modern Day Israel leading masses astray, as any other religion.
As far as his anti-semitism, you must be the judge of that, and what you want to do with it. I too, feel sometimes, he says things that are improper about the Jews. But I think he just might be coming off the wrong way, and not as anti-semitic as he sometimes sounds.
But he is a Christian. And sometimes because he might sound anti-semitic, that gives us no right to condemn him, God and Emile will have there time to talk about it someday.
But I understand your concerns about anti-semitism. And I understand your need to try to stop some of it if you can. But remember, Emile is a brother in Christ, a sinner, like you and me. We all have flaws. That's what we need God for!
God Bless You and Your Family, Steve |
