1. I think, living in the
Erin ,   USA   (05.26.14)
United States where we have a lot of evangelizing going on from multiple religions, that speaking up and letting everyone know your desires is the biggest step forward a group can make. I've heard a lot of things, but what I've seen is that faith is in G_d and He takes care of everything. May your days be filled with peace, and may Father fulfill your wishes to remain faithful and holy before Him. I don't think He's asking for anything to be taken away from you, but I do think He wants to give you good things, I do think that; However He does that. This may be no comfort to you, but I pray it is because doing for you what you need is for me to love you as you are, where you are, that's it. You're in G_d's Hands and the rest is with Him. Have a good day :) Lots of love, Erin.
2. I think it's nice how you honor HaShem
Erin ,   USA   (05.26.14)
in all the ways that you do. Your righteousness is inspiring and causes me to love Father more. I want to say 'I love you' , but its not enough that you are righteous; the men women and children you pass by on your way to school and to meeting places are ones who may be "outside the camp". It's not enough that in the laws of Moses' time, a scape goat was sent outside the campto Aza___l; I want to scream "no!" everytime I read that verse because I don't want one little animal at all to go out and be subjected to such an awful place. It's horrid! And I love the people and the animals too much. You're perfect in the ways of Moses; but what about those who aren't? I can't let them be set outside the camp, I just can't. Somehow, we have to remedy this Haredim, orthodox Jew, casual Jew coarse paper thing; I can't lose them to the beast of the desert, not for any reason, not for any length of time. Help me.
3. I agree with Ben Afra & Valerie Jean from Facebook above.

4. Never fear the Truth
Toby   (05.26.14)
If you have the Truth, you will never fear what other faiths have to offer. Islam and Communism are such insecure faiths that they have to control their masses with the treath of, and death to keep their people from leaving.
5. The Haredim should concede Isaiah chapter 53 and Proverbs 30
Rivkah   (05.26.14)
Proverbs 30:4,5 mean what they say: Elohim has Name and He has a Son and His Son has a Name. They should also evangelize the Christians to believe the seventh day Sabbath since Hebrews chapter 4 says that is the Sabbath of the Lord and ONLY those who observe it enter Elohim's REST. The Roman Catholic catechism says Saturday is the Sabbath of the Holy Scriptures but they celebrate it on Sunday. They fail to tell their members what they should do to celebrate the Sabbath of Elohim. Do not buy or sell food or wares from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday and do not work except to do good. Explain to the Catholics that there is an idol in Scriptures that is acceptable to Elohim but only one. What is that? It is a brass (symbol of judgment) snake (symbol of sin) on a stake (pole like Yahoshua the Messiah was crucified on) that is held up and looks like a one snake cadeuses symbol of dentistry. Looking on that is healing since it symbolizes the Jewish Messiah taking on the sin of the world to reconcile a sinful world and people to a holy Father Abba Yahovah Elohim. Evangelize the Christians and Catholics and Orthodox Christians to the statement of Yahoshua HaMashiach that those who love Him will obey His Commandments (Torah and Tanach not the Talmud commandments of men). Christians and Catholics and Orthodox might have a chance of entering Elohim's REST if the Haredim would evangelize them to obey the commandments.
6. Ben Afra: It is Proverbs 30:4,5 and Isaiah chapter 53 that
Rivkah   (05.26.14)
should be the guidelines for humanity to understand the Scriptures. It doesn't take a person of whatever religion to buy the Torah and Tanakh and read them and learn that Elohim has a Name and He has a Son who has a Name. Those names are Yahovah and Yahoshua. Yah is the common name of both.
7. Ultra-Orthodox exposing their ignorance again
miki ,   tampa   (05.26.14)
95% of all missionary activity in Israel is the work of the Protestant church which doesn't give a rats sitting down place for the Pope or his declarations- he has no say in the matter. Just another attempt to pull in some $$$ from abroad.
8. BENNY BABY
...DACON9   (05.26.14)
BENNY, A XTIAN IS A XTIAN. THEY **allllll*** WANT THE JEWS. you separate? door to door preaching teaching passing out CDs books pamphlets bibles ...most with the star of DAVID on it to deceive JEWS INTO THINKING IT IS TORAH.... THE ARTICLE ABOVE IS ITEM FOR ITEM 1001% CORRECT. I can add many many other deceptions the xtians do to JEWS. You offer the same excuse the spnaish inquisition the pogroms the witch hunts the burning Jews at the stake alive the off the flesh of living Jews the burning the Jewish/Hebrew/Holy books t he medical experiments...and I have heard it a thousand times... THEY ARE NOT REAL XTIANS.... WHO THEN ARE THE REAL XTIANS? YOU are also a deceiver
9. The Truth!!!
Steven Branson ,   USA   (05.26.14)
The RCC is NOT Christian (this from a former Catholic). The Papal office is one evil enity. The Crusades, Inquisitions were a aberration of the RCC. These murderers' were NOT Christian--period! Christ told his followers to spread the Gospel to the lost, i.e., non-Christians: Jew and Gentile. Apparently, many are afraid to be saved by the truth, as Jesus says in John 14:6: I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one gets to the Father but by me. As his 1st-Coming did, so will his 2nd-coming...fulfill the Law and the Prophets. Jesus is the Jews' Savior--period! God bless Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem!!! A Christian Zionist
10. 6 correction: It doesn't cost much to buy a Torah andTanakh
(05.26.14)
11. To #9 Steve and all who claim RCC is not Christian
HH ,   Jerusalem   (05.26.14)
I have a question: at which council was the New Testament put together, and under whose auspices? The book in which you all so fervently believe to be the Word of God was created by evil non-Christians. Does it not therefore follow that a book that was brought into existance by an evil entity -- is an evil book? Yet you still claim to believe in it!
12. Why is it only haredim who are concerned about missionary?
Stop missionary ,   at any expense!   (05.26.14)
The Zionists are showing their ignorance and their apathy towards the Torah by not fighting the missionaries and getting them out of the Jewish land.
13. To #11 HH
Steven Branson ,   USA   (05.26.14)
Please, let me have your e-mail; I'll be happy to answer your question. There's not enough space allowed on this forum to adequately answer your reasonable interest. I would like to answer your question with due diligence. God bless...
14. Stopping Missionizing
Joe ,   Israel   (05.26.14)
The Pope is the titular head of the Catholic Church and not Christianity.. While Catholics comprise the largest denomination, the Russian Orthodox, the Anglican and the various Protestant churches also engage in missionary work.
15. But Orthodox Jews believe Jesus Existed
JMK ,   NYC   (05.27.14)
So they cannot protect themselves since they haven given up the real defense and the scholarship. JESUS NEVER EXISTED.
16. Haredim
Brod ,   USA   (05.27.14)
Haredim needs to read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation before equating Christianity with Papism. The fact is Christianity has nothing to do with Papism which is Paganism Judeo-Christians worship the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-the GOD of the Bible-the Creator of the Heavens and Universe. Haredim needs to know the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob too. Psalm 119:105-112.
17. To Valerie at Facebook
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.28.14)
The problem is that those missionaries are attacking the weak people who can't resist them . They don't try it with "strong" people .
