Ask JTF For February 8, 2009
Trace:
Shalom Chaim,
When I was in high school, I considered converting to Christianity. I had seen some pamphlets that were all about hell and how people who didn't accept Jesus would go to hell, and they scared me a lot, so I talked to my parents and told them that I was considering becoming Christian because I wanted to escape hell. My parents had me go talk to our Rabbi for advice. Unfortunately our "Rabbi" was a left wing reform "rabbi" (and a woman!) and she did a horrible job of trying to convince me to not abandon Judaism. But then I heard some of your shows on the internet and for the first time in my life I felt proud of being Jewish, so my faith was restored.
What is your best advice for young impressionable Jews who may see these very scary Christian pamphlets telling them they will go to hell? Surely some of them may be scared into leaving Judaism - what would you say to them, to reassure them that they will not go to hell?
PS I don't think you're crazy for thinking the Uzi is your favorite weapon, but I disagree that it's a very flexible weapon - it has one major flaw, which is lack of range because it fires a pistol cartridge. In addition to an Uzi you also need a good rifle. The Israelis make a superb variant of the AK-47 called the Galil that is incredibly durable and accurate!
Masha:
Hi Chaim,
I've been following your discussion with Manch regarding slavery in the Bible with great interest. Would it be fair to call you a Biblical "literalist"? Would you also support the Biblical injunction to force a woman whom a husband suspects of adultery to drink "bitter water" as in Numbers 5:11-5:31 so that she will get sick and die if she is guilty?
Noar HaGvaot:
What do you feel about the comical treatment of Nazis in movies and shows such as "The Producers" and "Hogan's Heroes"? Does it accentuate the stupidity of Nazis or does it lessen the perception of the severity of their crimes?
ItalianZionist:
Hi Chaim,
I emailed Shlomo to help with the flash part of the website, so the ball's in his court.
What is your opinion of the Italian invasion of Libya in 1911?
It was said that thousands of innocent people were killed. Homes were burnt down, wells filled with cement, and copies of the Koran were stepped upon by Italian soldiers.
I'm no fan of Mussolini. I just wanted to know your opinion of the invasion itself....whether the act was justified or not. One might say that the Romans owned that land before, so Italy had a right to it? But did they have a right to be so cruel? What do you think of the Italian soldiers stepping on the koran?
Thnx

Hello brother Chaim
2 things this week
1..Now I am able to post and plug our movement on a group called Infidel Task Force. Stumbled on them when the lettering was close and asked about them. I joined to help promote you and JTF in a more global scale.
2. Last week I asked you about blacks loving Muslims when Muslims have done so much against black as far as crimes against humanity is consern. Example (Sudan) Now, I ask you why do white groups like KKK and Nazi groups are in love with the Muslims when Muslims aren't even white to begin with. Another you would think natural ally? The Muslims not only hate Jews and Christians but hate everything about this country why would white sick groups that I want nothing to do with want to even kiss these people?
