I agree. We both come from THE Book and while we differ regarding Jesus who WAS Jewish and preached in the Temple, Christianity came from the Old Testament foundations. To my Jewish friends here I say Shalom.
That’s another first class article and I totally agree with the point regarding Judeo-Christian values and alliance.
My only respectful part query is regarding the concept that Islam is not the threat, only the Islamist extremists.
I believe I understand your point, but I believe (personally) that while not every Muslim will commit terrorist Islamist acts of violence, the vast majority of Muslims will tacitly or overtly support such acts.
And an even bigger majority will not oppose or demonstrate against such acts, nor instigate action to expose, shame or prosecute the actual culprits.
I suggest Islam is not a religion, it is a culture, a political body, a way of life - and it is one that tolerates no competition.
I find it very strange that so many people (including Nigel Farage) criticise "Islamism" but will not criticise Islam itself. They seem not to want to acknowledge that Islamism is an inseparaple component of Islam overall.
Without Islamism (political Islam), then Islam would prbably have fizzled out many centuries ago.
The Meccan phase could largely be described as religious Islam. Mohammed was not particularly successful, gaining an estimated 150 fllowers.
After moving to Medina and becoming increasingly political, it went from strength to strength.
I do think it is important to use accurate language. In most cases, "Islam" is the correct word to use rather than "Islamism".
Science never quite debunked religion nor Plato. We can test for G-d, and the results are surprising. Here in London we have been monitoring a thirty-year Nazi revival. This revival was supposed to be underpinned by the appearance of Thor and Wotan as tens of thousands of top Nazis waited for Sign. These Nazis hate Christianity. However, All-powerful Deity is easily debunked.
They are rightly far more worried about Muslims and their support from Sadiq khan, the Muslim Mayor, and Keir Starmer, the Communist Prime Minister than they are about National Socialists.
Tommy Robinson knows this. He was just invited to Israel by Netanyahu's government to let them know about it and his videos are terrific.
Be careful of ‘Jew-washing’ from the Nazis. This is a well known tactic by post-war German Nazis. This is an attempt to wash away the atrocities of WWII. Here in London, we have monitored Nazi psychopaths planning the same again.
Amen, Joshua… “then it will happen on that day that the Lord will recover for the second time with His hand the remnant of His people…and He will lift up a standard for the nations and assemble the banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah [Genesis 49:1-2, gather and assemble]…then Efrayim will not be jealous of Judah and Judah will not harass Efrayim [Genesis 48 Jacob tells Joseph that Efrayim will be the leader of the greatest gentile nation and group “in the end of days”. Genesis 49 blesses Judah with being the lawgiver to the nations—somehow Rome usurped that but it will happen, the law will go forth from Zion]…they will swoop down on the slopes of the philistines on the west (Gaza); together they will plunder the sons of the east (Judea and Samaria)…” from our Prophet Isaiah 11:11-16. Ezekiel 37…two sticks of N Kingdom and S Kingdom coming together into one man. Fighting for the same cause. 🩷 just thinking while I read your words.
Brother I understand there’s persecution against the innocent but this is nothing more than a method to temporarily ally with us. The Bible clearly states those who don’t believe Jesus is God, are not of God. I’m sorry, as someone who wishes the betterment of all, I can’t shed my morals, tenants, values or truths.
The Bible also clearly states the Jews are the Chosen (to spread the Word of God) and God has never turned his back on the Jews. It is miraculous. It is so sad you have chosen an interpretation of Christianity that is actually against the One God. Jesus, a Jew who preached from the Jewish Bible, said to "comfort my people." And so much more that you choose to ignore. Including, "those who bless Israel shall be blessed. Those who curse Israel shall be cursed." You are cursed, poor Solomon.
Tell me which verses that isreal should be blessed and that Jews are the chosen. Also “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” God didn’t turn his back, the religious Jew did. When they go against Jesus, that’s going against God because Jesus is God.
The Bible verse often quoted as "those who bless Israel will be blessed" is Genesis 12:3: "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you". A similar sentiment is also found in Numbers 24:9: "Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you".
Genesis 12:3:
This verse is God's promise to Abraham, stating that He will bless Abraham's supporters and curse those who oppose him, with the ultimate goal that all peoples on earth will be blessed through Abraham's lineage.
Numbers 24:9:
This verse is spoken by the prophet Balaam, who was hired to curse Israel but was instead compelled by God to bless them.
Sorry, Solomon. You're going to hell with Satan. Choose more wisely.
There is only one God and both Jews and Christians know this and in my opinion believe in the same God. It certainly isn't Allah and that is the enemy we both face.
We may differ in our belief systems but Jews believe a Messiah is coming and Christians that Jesus is coming back. To me The Old testament is God's eternal promises to Jews and The New Testament is his promise to Christians. God does not break his promises.
God seems to appear when we need him and it would be wonderful if the Messiah is for all of us when he returns. I know Jews are my brothers. If I ever meet Benjamin Netanyahu I would tell him that. I'm tired of Jew hating Christians and Christian hating Jews and that is what this article concerns.
Right now it is clear we need each other. We are both in danger.
The God of the Bible does NOT break promises and he promised Israel to the Jews.
As a Christian I not only understand that promise, I have no problem with it and neither did Jesus, a Jew or his 12 disciples, also Jewish nor finally St. Paul, again a Jew.
No Jews - no Old Testament (Torah/Tanach) and No Jews - No New Testament or Christianity either.
The Church is a shadow of its former self. They seem largely too afraid to speak out against Islam. Preferring inter-faith dialogue, than speaking boldly the truth.
There are a handful who speak out - Jay Smith, Hatun Tash, David Wood, and some collection of Christians on YouTube. But that is about it.
I suspect that many Christian clergy see their dwindling flocks of mostly elderly women, and feel envious of the vitality of Islam. With massed ranks of mainly men, including younger men parading publicly.
Recently I wrote an email to all Anglican bishops in the UK, Ireland, and USA. There are hundreds of them. I have not counted them exactly but around 400.
Here is my email:
Email to bishops: Can Christianity defeat Islam?
They cannot coexist indefinitely. Eventually one or the other will dominate.
Great article, and a great aim. And yes it should happen.
However... I think this is 60 years too late.
The Church already united with Islam!
I suspect, but cannot prove it, that the Church has united with Islam in order to out-source its antisemitism.
In the case of the Roman Catholic church following WW2 they seemed to have felt some shame for collaborating with the Nazis. Only one Catholic bishop spoke out publicly. And as Germany was falling, the Vatican assisted many Nazis to flee to South America.
Some re-thinking and resetting was needed, at least publicly, to try to cleanse itself. And hence Nostra aetate, part of Vatican II. Published 28th October 1965.
Nostra aetate tried to build bridges with Judaism. Unfortunately also then giving legitimacy to Islam.
Now we see the encouragement of Christians to pray alongside Muslims. It will inevitably be towards Mecca - in Islam prayers are only deemed valid if prayed towards Mecca.
Now, Christians can pray in any direction, it makes no difference. And if a group of Christians when praying just randomly happen to pray in the direction of Mecca then that is of no consequence.
However if Christians deliberately and knowingly oriient to Mecca then that is a serious error: It is giving legitimacy to the Kaaba and the pagan black stone set into the corner of it.
There are those who are pushing for effectively a synchretic religion: Abrahamism.
We already saw Pope Francis effectively promoting Chrislam: He produced a combined emblem of a cross and crescent. Curiously omitting the mornng star though.
Wonderful! I agree Jews and Christian’s standing together make us stronger than ever. ✡️🙏

All of this collapses because Jesus is God.

I received numerous automated email replies, so the emails are definitely getting through.
I received a few responses from the assistants, saying they have shown the email to the bishop.
I received one, just one actual reply. From the bishop of Long Island. Telling me not to send any more emails!
This is how far down the Church has sunk.
