A question posed to Chaim Ben Pesach by JTF Forum poster “Hidden Author”, on an ASK JTF show, in February, 2008. Question and answer paraphrased by Zev Ben Yisrael “YESHA”.
Q: “You may dislike missionaries, but they are driven by a missionaries and belief that all humanity including the Jews needs C for salvation. It is unsavoury to attack those missionaries and those who attack them silence them because they are unable to counter them in a debate”.
Answer: A number of points, pious Jews won’t have much difficulty beating missionaries in a legitimate debate! It would be quite easy to defeat them in a debate. Missionaries know little or nothing about the history of Judaism or Christianity for that matter. They certainly don’t know what the Bible means, especially in its original language. They don’t understand it. If Christians wish to go to fellow Christians, that’s OK and there is not problem with that. But if Jews went knocking on doors of Christians and tell them unless you become a Jew you are going to hell, one would understand if violence would break out. It is therefore hyprocartical for those who attack Jews who attack missionaries in a physical manner.
They, Christian missionaries and some other Christians are outraged when this happens, but they think they could attack the Jewish religion and get away with it! Jews are doing a favour for Jews, Christians, gentiles and all people who want honesty, when they physically attack these missionaries and fraudsters.
“Jews for J” is a cult, not reflective of genuine Christianity, which leading Bible-believing Christian leaders over the years have attacked and condemned these vicious, low-life tactics as terrible, giving a name to Christians. These are not sincere people, but evil people who are lying. They deliberately twist and misinterpret scripture, by lying and distorting; they are misrepresenting, misleading and are causing fraud. These people committing fraud and lying are criminals. “Jews for J” often dress as religious Jews and target assimilated Jews and Jews who don’t know any better and twisting and lying about verses in the Bible. These guys dress as rabbis and mislead these Jews, by deliberate misinterpretation and mistranslation, when they don’t believe in any of that. If the law is not going to punish them, then Jews have the right to punish them and hard! This cult deliberately distorts Bible verses to steal Jewish souls, by committing spiritual and religious fraud. That’s a crime!
