Indifferent to the pain of the Jewish people? Are Christian missionaries in Africa and other parts of the world indifferent to their pain? I think they are sensitive to their pain, and the pain of the Palestinians. That is why they offer them both salvation through Jesus Christ. AMEN and peace be upon both peoples!!!

I didn't think Christian missionaries were engaging in "illegal" activity. After all, part of our religion IS to convert Jews, so why the heck shouldn't be more focused on converting Jews? We send them tons of aid, and this is how they repay us? By discriminating against Christians. If this story took place in any other nation it would be called persecution of Christians. Jews can make up their own minds and shouldn't have to live under Rabbinical law. Muslims are living in hell on earth because they aren't free to worship as they please.

Why is Christ specified as being a reason to deny the law of return? Can Jewish atheists and Buddhists come? Is it not true that the weird globalist B'hia (or whatever) faith is centered in Israel? Someone please tell me if Jewish Christians are the only ones denied return.

And why, pray tell, would Jewish parents disown children for following another faith? Yes, I have heard that, and I know two Jews who have had this occur in their families. The Jews disowned them, causing THEM pain. Why not have sympathy for them too instead of focusing on the pain of a religious Jew whose child becomes a follow of Christ?

Are the Jewish people free over there?

It's persecution of Christians to prevent them from converting our children!?

Think about what you said. Then, think about what that says about your respect for the Jewish people.

Are you so charitable to missionaries of other faiths in America? Have you brought Muslim or LDS missionaries to your Church?

1. I have nothing against adults converting. The issue here is underhanded and perfidious targetting of children.
2. The point of Israel is to have a nation for Israelites. It was not for us to sell our souls.
3. All missionary activity is discouraged, including Jewish missionary activity.

You give up your Judaism, you stop being a Jew. There is no right of return for Jews who left the faith. However, Christians of Jewish descent do move to Israel if their purpose is to become Jewish.

Bahai is Persian in origin, but there is a Bahai temple in Israel.

A Jew who coverts to another faith has turned his back not only on God and God's laws, but on his family and people. It is existential treason.

Judaism is particularist. Christianity is universal. Until you learn about Judaism, none of this will make sense.
