Israel Soon to be a 'Christian' Nation?

The Jewish majority in Israel faces a significant demographic threat.

Israel's Minister of the Interior Eli Yeshai said this week that at the current rates of growth, Jews will not be the majority population between the Jordan and the Mediterranean within eight years.

As it stands now, Yeshai noted, there are a growing number of IDF soldiers who refuse to take the oath of allegiance on the Tanakh (Jewish Bible), but rather insist on doing so on the New Testament. Yeshai calls for an "emergency public debate on the matter before it's too late."

In order to limit the number of non-Jews who take advantage of Israeli repatriation laws, Yeshai recommends that the Law of Return be changed.

Under the current law, individuals with one Jewish grandparent may obtain automatic citizenship - even though Judaism recognizes only the offspring of a Jewish mother or a halakhic [Jewish legal] convert as Jewish.

Housing Minister Natan Sharansky, however, says that now is not the time to discuss changing the Law of Return.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, Israel opened its doors to Russian Jews who sought to emigrate. Many did. Of these new immigrants to Israel, many were Christians who claimed a distant ancestor as being Jewish. Still others anxious to leave Russia falsely claimed they were Jewish.

So, are we going to hear from dennisw, rebdov and the usual pro-Israel-no-matter-how-wrong-they-are crowd, about what a HUGE THREAT this is?

not according to the prophecies ... the Third Temple, which is coming despite the naysayers, will solidify the Levitical Laws and Deuteronomy's edicts ... only when their Messiah has returned will they recognize Him, nationally, for Who He is ... until that time, some individual conversions, or "completions" as some say, will occur, but Israel will remain strongly Jewish, albeit partitioned it appears, perhaps very soon ...

Actually, there is ample evidence in the Bible that Christians are considered 'Jews.'

"You are Abraham's seed and heirs to the promise..." See Eph. 3.

Romans 11 also speaks of those who follow Christ as being 'grafted into the vine' of the Jewish faith.

Food for thought...

And exactly how wrong are they?

[William Terrell]

. . .but Israel will remain strongly Jewish. . .

Judah should remain strongly Judah, but Israel (not the small country in the Lands of Sands) will gather all the tribes in fulfillment of Hosea 1:10, 11.

>"You are Abraham's seed and heirs to the promise..."

Abraham of course was not Jewish. And his seed extends far beyond those few members of the Southern Kingdom who returned from Babylon 1,500 years later to become known as Jews.

Why don't you like Israel anyone killing Jihadist is on our side.

[LarryLied]

Stalin was on our side too but it wasn't smart for us to get as close to him as we did.

[weikel]

Well with Stalin we should have put Patton's plan into effect take the remaining German troops( excluding Gestapo, Einstatzgruppen, SS deaths head division, field police and other war criminals ) after they surrendered put them under allied command and then marched right to Moscow as Patton wanted.

>put them under allied command and then marched right to Moscow as Patton wanted.

...and I think most of them would have been happy to go, for that is what they thought they were fighting for in the first place. Very few rank and file were idealogues.

Support for Israel as a "Christian" nation would likely diminish somewhat in terms of even it's heritage undergirderd in Hebrew traditions. Those "romantic" lineages undermined in that admittedly simple, though I believe, valid sense.

Abraham circumcised even himself at a very old age to undertake the Covenant in much the same spirit, really, as was invoked by earlier - an even current - generations of Americans in setting out to their frontiers.

Can you provide a valid link to the actual article, and copy/paste the actual title next time? Thanks!

Fascinating profile, Lost Tribes. Think I'll be checking out that book and that site with a fine-toothed comb. Thanks :)

Thanks. The book by Capt on the Assyrian Tablets is excellent. Think you will enjoy it. We have some here on FR who have a strong vested interest in you not discovering who the Lost Tribes of Israel really are, or better yet, insisting that they never be found. That should tell you something right out of the gate. -ggg-.
