Should We Bring a Jew to Landover Baptist On Easter Sunday
 
I got to thinking recently it might help Jews understand the futility of their attempt to kill Jesus if they saw us celebrate His victory over death. If they had to sing along with us, "Up from the grave He arose..." maybe they would see they are totally defeated. We might convert some of them (Jews are wealthy).

As a bonus, they could learn to enjoy some ham at the celebration breakfast.

Other views on this are welcome of course.

I'm despairing of getting a catholic to accept my invitation to attend an actual Christian service. But would a Jewish person even have heard of Jesus? Presumably they stick to their own teachings and things, using material in which The Good News gets zero coverage, other than an oblique reference to Emmanuel and one or two passages in Hosea and/or Malachi, which is as far as their records go. Then the temple was destroyed but for some reason they attribute this to the Romans.

Perhaps if we left some literature for them to get the basics and checked back in a week or two with an invitation?

That's a good thought, Sister Mitza. Maybe a lot of Jews have never heard that Jesus was resurrected and is alive today. If they first learned it while sitting in LBC they might just pass out.

I still not convinced inviting Jews to our Easter Service is a good idea. I'm just asking around to see what people think.

How about wee turn it into a spectacle with marches in the streets protesting the Jews killing Jesus?

Yes, denial of Christ's divinity is the central tenet of Judaism. They call Him Yeshua. The street-level Jews believe he was a fraud or a lunatic, but the big Rabbis know that He is Lord. Keeping it secret is how they maintain their power.

I'm afraid I'm allergic to words like G-d and Yeshua. It's God and Joshua in my Bible so if that was good enough for Jesus it's good enough for me.

And how do they pronounce that anyway - "Jeed?" The yids walk past a crucifix and they hold up their middle fingers and say "F-ck you G-d." They're still pissed that their attempt to murder Him and sin without consequences failed.

Re: Should We Bring a Jew to Landover Baptist On Easter Sunday
 
Yes. The other problem is that "G-d" is not even His name. At best it's like one of those other words they substitute for the actual Divine Name usually translated as my lord or something like that
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, In the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: Thou hast the dew of thy youth. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord at thy right hand Shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; He shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: Therefore shall he lift up the head.
but by putting The LORD instead of ordinary old "my lord" the name that must not be spoken is indicated. They never had the word "God" available even before their language went extinct. But why would He bother to announce His moniker at all if He didn't want to be addressed by it? It does have considerable provenance.





ENOS
GENESIS 4:25-26
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.


(Jerusalem Bible © 1966)
4:25-26
Adam had intercourse with his wife, and she gave birth to a son whom she named Seth, 'because God has granted me other offspring' she said 'in place of Abel, since Cain has killed him'. A son was also born to Seth, and he named him Enosh. This man was the first to invoke the name of Yahweh.





ABRAM
GENESIS 15: 2a, 5, 7a
And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me . . . And he[God] brought him[Abram] forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him So shall thy seed be . . . And he said unto him I am the LORD


(Jerusalem Bible © 1966)
15:2-7a
'My Lord Yahweh,' Abram replied 'what do you intend to give me?' . . . Then taking him outside he said, 'Look up to heaven and count the stars if you can. Such will be your descendants' he told him . . . 'I am Yahweh' he said to him





MOSES
EXODUS 33:18-19b; 34:5
And he[Moses] said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. And he[God] said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee . . . And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.


(Jerusalem Bible © 1966)
33:18 – 34:5
Moses said, 'Show me your glory, I beg you'. And he said, 'I will let all my splendour pass in front of you, and I will pronounce before you the name Yahweh . . . And Yahweh descended in the form of a cloud, and Moses stood with him there.






Melchizedek, mentioned in the Psalm, is a pre-incarnation identity whose allegiance is directly to God, although I doubt that he's still alive implementing an eternal priesthood and I've never seen his name written with hyphens instead of vowels, demonstrating that God is Jesus and all that nonsense about not saying His name is just that: nonsense. Is the creator of the universe frightened by the sound of a name? No. Easter is a great time to proclaim this Good News where it is most needed so that, because He loves us, He won't have to torture us for ever.

Indeed. His real name is Jealous:

Exodus 34:14

14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

Do you have a specific Jew in mind, Brother Mr. Mayor, Sir? I'm assuming you don't mean that everyone should roll up with someone of the Hebe persuasion? That way lies madness!

Your wisdom is appreciated, Sister Joanna. Certainly we do not want to invite a room full of Jews and have to keep an eye on the collection plate.

My thinking was we could screen to find Christians that went astray and became confused about Jesus. They converted to Judaism but still have potential.

An example is comedian Tom Arnold. He is a native Iowan who was a Protestant and is worth over $30 million. He made the mistake of marrying comedian and Jew, Rosanne Barr.

If it was explained to Tom is can be free of guilt for killing Christ he might find it to be a relief and start tithing as a Baptist.

Re: Should We Bring a Jew to Landover Baptist On Easter Sunday
 
Tom Arnold isn't a Jew, you can't convert to Jewish any more than you can convert to being Chinese or Mexican. The ethnic component of being the chosen people who made a covenant with God which they then broke by attempting to murder Him thus staining themselves and all future generations with His blood is inseparable from the religious aspects of Judaism. In addition to Yahweh and money, they worship themselves. They're the chosen, the elite, the ubermensch, the master race, or so they believe. "One million Arab lives are not worth one Jewish fingernail." Jared Kushner is a Jew, Ivanka Trump is not a Jew - she's a white woman of Scotch-Bavarian-Czech descent (Aryan with Celtic and Slavic admixture).

The big question here is not should Landover bring in a Jew as some kind of sideshow attraction, it's can a Jew even set foot in the House of the Lord without immediately being struck dead with lightning?

You raise a valid concern, Brother Lukes. If we angered God by allowing a Jew in the sanctuary might His lightning of other vengeance harm some innocent LBC member.

I've been thinking, too, about the reactions of our members. We have members so passionate for Jesus they are not necessarily predictable in their behaviors. We don't want to be responsible for injury of a Jew we might have invited.

While I appreciate the thought, we need to make very sure said Jew doesn't smell bad. We don't want a repeat of the 2009 "bring a Niglet to Church" incident! I can still smell the fried chicken.

Perhaps we should invite a Jew for Good Friday services and crucify him. Then perhaps the Jews might understand the sacrifices that Jesus made so that we could have a White, Christian nation.

Dear :god-fancy: above! I think that if we were to invite those Jew people to our lovely Easter Sunday service, things would go wrong, right from the beginning. I am attaching a video clip, and you will see what I mean. Do we really want these bedroom-dressing-gown-attired, fur-hat-wearing, ringletted-hairdo weirdos in our midst? Besides, when the collection plates are passed, they might stick their grubby paws in the plates and steal from them!

Re: Should We Bring a Jew to Landover Baptist On Easter Sunday
 
One thing to keep in mind if the pastor does go through with this is to resist the temptation to keep them all segregated in the back sections. Keeping them all together would likely prove dangerous because they can be crafty when plotting in groups and also the older women Jews tend to keep things like live chickens in their purses so extra security might not be a bad idea.

Everyone knows Pastor Zeke has been auto-deducting your tithes at source since that's been a thing. ;)

At churches, some of the devout and faithful are moved to make additional love offerings during services. Every cent counts. Jesus needs that money.

Exactly, Brother. It's called going above and beyond - or serving a higher purpose - something that the selfish atheist wouldn't understand.
