@PhillipofLloyd @Protestia Maybe now Christians will have more grace for the Jewish people who have been walking with God for 4,000 years.

A story in two pictures: church sings The Lion King's 'Circle of Life' for 'worship' 'Some say, "Eat or be eaten" Some say, "Live and let live" But all are agreed as they join the stampede You should never take more than you give In the circle of life It's the wheel of fortune It's the leap of faith It's the band of hope'

"Torah leads to vigilance, vigilance leads to alacrity, alacrity leads to cleanliness, cleanliness leads to abstention, abstention leads to purity, purity leads to piety, piety leads to humility, humility leads to fear of sin, fear of sin leads to holiness, holiness leads to the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit leads to resurrection of the dead, and piety is greater than all of them, as it is said (Psalm 89:20): 'Then You spoke in a vision to Your godly ones.'" (Avodah Zarah 20b)

Yes, it’s true that, in Jewish mystical theology, there is a belief that Jews possess a “godly soul” (nefesh elokit), while the rest of humanity is described as having a “nefesh behemit”, an animal soul. To our ears, that may sound elitist and offensive. That's why the concept is often stripped of its context and weaponized to fuel antisemitism. The “godly soul” in Jewish thought, according to Judaism, is not given as a reward for being inherently superior. It’s given because God chose a people through whom to bless the world, to carry the weight of covenant, and to work toward Tikkun Olam, the repair of creation. Judaism teaches that anyone can access that godly soul. Through devotion to justice, righteousness, and the ethical teachings of the Torah, non-Jews can ascend spiritually and become “righteous among the nations”. Christian theology, for example, teaches that only the christian believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit, God Himself lives inside them only. That’s not just a special soul, that’s divine presence. That sounds even more exclusive than anything in Jewish mysticism. Yet, no one would call that supremacist. In both cases, Judaism and Christianity, the claim to a higher spiritual status exists not for the sake of status itself, but to produce a life that blesses others, not lords over them.

@DennisPrager pointed out in his Torah commentary that the death penalty for murder is the only commandment repeated in all five books.

@WadinginPursuit @ChristOverChaos @Wesley_Todd_ @BroSpencer I'm not defending anything about this thread one way or the other, but Jesus did not have a praise & worship set in mind when he uttered these words. He meant the daily decision of dying to your will and desires, and taking on God's through a life lived in obedience.

@ChristOverChaos @Wesley_Todd_ @BroSpencer Whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. Matt 16:25 Losing myself, to empty myself, and stand before Him, surrendered. This is ridiculous

Evangelicals really had dudes singing “there’s nowhere I’d rather be when you’re singing over me” to Jesus Then acted shocked when an entire generation of men checked out of church.

Let me tell you why a Muslim would stab a random Jewish person on the streets of London. I was raised Muslim, and I know exactly why this happens. It’s not a reaction to the war in Gaza. It’s not oppression. It’s not radicalization. It’s the logical outcome of Islam itself. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Muslim or not, we as human beings carry guilt deep inside us. We know we are not good enough, and we spend our life trying to redeem ourself through good deeds, thinking it will make the suffocating guilt go away. Christianity for example offers a way out of guilt, a solution not based on your works but on Christ’s. Salvation isn’t earned, it’s given. You accept that you can’t redeem yourself, because Christ already did everything on your behalf. That means you’re free. Free to live, free to build, free to serve, free to love. And when a Christian feels lost, broken, and in need of forgiveness, they can go to church, talk to a pastor or priest, and leave knowing they are forgiven. Islam, on the other hand, doesn’t offer redemption, it weaponizes guilt. Instead of providing salvation, Allah exposes you, holds your sins over your head, and threatens you with hellfire and torture in the grave. The Quran isn’t a book of peace, it’s a book of threats. It bullies Muslims into obedience through fear, humiliation, and punishment. So what happens when a Muslim seeks redemption? They try to be better Muslims. They pray, fast, give to charity, go on Hajj, do everything Allah commands. But it never works. I know it. I did it. And no matter how much you pray, no matter how much you try, the guilt never goes away. Because deep down, every Muslim knows it’s not enough. Allah always demands more. Allah loves those who die fighting against the infidels. That’s not an opinion, it’s in the Quran, in Hadith, in every lesson taught to children. This is why Muslims, even the so-called "moderates," always hesitate to condemn terrorism. Because they know jihad is required by Allah. They might not be willing to commit it themselves, but they can't say it’s wrong. So when a Muslim fails to reach peace through religious rituals, they have two choices: Give up, stop being devout, and learn to live with the guilt, or commit to jihad, because that’s the only way to be true to yourself. The Quran spells it out clearly: “Kill those who do not worship Allah or obey the Prophet” (9:29). So when a Muslim embraces this identity fully, killing infidels isn’t just justified, it’s joyful. It’s an act of: Saving yourself, obeying Allah, securing your eternity, finally escaping the crushing weight of guilt This is why a Muslim can stab a random jewish person on the streets and feel nothing but satisfaction. Because for the first time in his life, he finally believes he has done something worthy of redemption.

@uptonhere thank you, brother

A great article about one of my mentors and best friends, @RubenWithZeal. May his testimony encourage all of us Gentile Christians who stand with Israel. israel365news.com/417557/the-chr…

@TheShawnHendrix Will pray! Did you know in the Messianic Era the nations will have to celebrate Sukkot (the festival of booths) in Jerusalem or they won’t have rain? ☔️ 💭

Pray for rain. We need it badly in NC this is going to be bad for us ranchers and farmers if it doesn’t rain soon.

@TChapman500 @rabbriansamuel @beachhawk874, I think he means that it is false that Sunday is the Sabbath. Friday evening to Saturday evening is the biblical Sabbath.

@rabbriansamuel It's very true that both cannot be true. But both can be false. And both are false. But both views seem to be quite dominant within churchianity.

Legit question. Do Christians view Sunday as the new Sabbath, meaning a day to rest? Because I hear two predominant Christian stances on the Sabbath: 1. There is no longer a weekly Sabbath. 2. Sunday is the new Sabbath. And they both cannot be true.

💯

@Exodus15_11 It seems that the root source of replacement theology is Christian’s narrow soteriology. How do you address that issue?

Antisemitism is taught from the pulpits which embrace Replacement Theology. That's the conclusion from research documented in this book from the 60s. A great resource for those who highlight how dangerous embracing Replacement Theology is.

Why do many Trad Bros resent Israel? Beneath their theology is envy of a courageous and moral people rooted in the promised land. vist.ly/4yd7q

This is like the coolest thing. A military Torah scroll backpack…

I had the honor to speak at the Tennessee Stands with Israel Rally today as a representative of Israel365. We had a small but passionate crowd of Jewish and Christian advocates who boldly proclaimed their support for Israel and the Jewish people. If you’re a Christian, please get involved. You can sign up at israel365.com/nashville for updates on events, educational opportunities, and other meaningful ways that Jews and Christians are coming together through our love for Israel and shared values right here in Nashville.

@BenOhrIC Most of the Noachides I know were Christians before. It is not a coincidence or inconsequential that their faith in Jesus brought them to where they are.

@RubenWithZeal Yes.

G-D bless Rabbi Tovia Singer for making this book. I make it clear to make something very clear, even though I might ruin lots of people’s post-Easter week.

The one who does repentance wants his soul freed from its uncleanness and its filth. He wants it to return home to the source of holiness. — Paul Philip Levertoff
