Catholics and Jews Use Anniversary to Reflect on Relations

As the 40th anniversary nears for a landmark Vatican document that declared that Jews as a people were not responsible for the death of Jesus, American Roman Catholics and Jews are taking stock of how far the religions have come in healing nearly 2,000 years of enmity — and the challenges ahead. "Nostra Aetate" (In Our Time), issued by the historic Second Vatican Council in October 1965, said not only that all Jews in the past and present could not be blamed for Jesus' crucifixion, but that they remained "most dear to God." The document deplores anti-Semitism and affirms that Jesus and most of his early followers were Jews. The pronouncement also paid respect to ...
Living as Jews in Christian America (Beyond Excellent) [Full Thread]

Living as Jews in Christian America As a boy I hungrily absorbed the eye-opening Torah teaching of my father, the late Avraham Chayim Lapin z”tzl, along with his terrifying tales of the viciousness of Lithuanian and Polish “goyim” that he endured while a student at Telshe Yeshiva in pre-World War II Europe. I quickly came to understand. “Goyim” hate Jews and try to hurt them. That is all there was to it. Later, as a student at that famed yeshiva located amidst some of the worst slums of northern England, I learned the rough-and-ready science of self defense on the streets of Gateshead. Lurking in the dark alleys that lay between the Beit Midrash and our lodgings, ...

U.S. State Department Says New Testament Is 'Anti-Semitic'? By Rev. Ted Pike 9-13-5 Evangelical lovers of Israel would never believe that our government could consider them anti-Semitic. Yet the U.S. State Department's new "Department of Global Anti-Semitism" now defines anti-Semitism in a way that makes Bible-believing Christians into anti-Semites. Here's how: The State Department's 40-page Report on Global Anti-Semitism cites a recent example of "anti-Semitism" in Poland. "...the pastor of St. Brigid Church in Gdansk told parishioners during services that Jews killed Jesus and the prophets." (p.22) What's wrong with that? According to Jewish ...
The Trial of the Apostles

The aim of the previous Chapters was to defend the reputation of "The Father". This Chapter will render equal protection for the "Son". Throughout the Ages every religion offered its believers the same reward, to "live on after death". In ancient Egypt priests initiated "Mummification" as a passport to the "Afterlife". Hindu prelates promised "Nirvana" as a way for piety to escape the tedium of re-incarnation. In short, each faith pledges to cheat death by giving the faithful the prize of living on forever, and Christianity is no exception. This premise has become one of the most tenacious and unsettling concepts ever invented by ...

In the beginning there was the Flying Spaghetti Monster(Filed: 11/09/2005)In recent weeks, a satirical attack on the teaching of Creationism in American schools has become the world's fastest growing 'religion'. The Noodly Saviour looked at the furore He had created and pronounced it good, writes James Langton For a growing band of devoted followers, He is the Supreme Being; creator of the universe and all living things. To the rest of us, the Flying Spaghetti Monster looks like a giant heap of pasta and meatballs topped with eyeballs on stalks. As it turns out, both interpretations are correct. In the past few weeks, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has become perhaps the ...
(Gov.) Perry mum on pastor's musings about Katrina purifying

Another pastor who attended says comments were offensive. Gov. Rick Perry spoke at two private events this week where a Texas minister wondered if God sent Hurricane Katrina to purify the nation of sins, including homosexuality. The GOP leader didn't object at the gatherings in San Antonio and Houston on Thursday. Gubernatorial spokesman Robert Black, contacted Friday, said: "The governor does not agree with that. But far be it for the governor to try to divine the will of the Almighty. "Americans of all faiths need to come together at this point in time to help the victims of this tragedy," he said. Black said Perry speaks at hundreds of events annually and "sure ...

If one were to draw up a list of American colleges and universities to characterize as Ann Coulter country, Harding University would almost certainly be on it. The private institution in Searcy, Ark., is affiliated with the Churches of Christ and emphasizes the teaching of Christian values. More to the point, the Young America’s Foundation included the university last year on its list of “top 10 conservative colleges” that “proclaim, through their mission and programs, a dedication to discovering, maintaining and strengthening the conservative values of their students” — a mantle the university acknowledged and welcomed. So it probably shouldn’t have ...

The Crucifixion of Christ, American Style By Jerry Ghinelli 08/29/05 "ICH" -- -- "For God so loved the world..." he returned his only begotten son to the land where he shed his grace on thee. Vindication for the faithful, rejoicing for the true believers, it was the second coming of Christ-and he was coming to America. Not to bring Armageddon, but to save mankind from Armageddon. Jesus will make his first appearance at the intersection of the streets appropriately named "Liberty" and "Church" in New York City, located at what has come to be known as "Ground Zero." Lower Manhattan was virtually shut down as millions of the faithful and ...

Missed Church? Download It to Your IPod. By TANIA RALLI Kyle Lewis, 25, missed going to church one Sunday last month. But he did not miss the sermon. Mr. Lewis, who regularly attends services of the National Community Church in Alexandria, Va., listened to the sermon while he was at the gym, through a recording he had downloaded to his iPod. Instead of listening to the rock music his gym usually plays, he heard his pastor's voice. "Having an iPod is a guaranteed way to get the sermon if you're going to be out of town," Mr. Lewis said, adding that he listens to the pastor's podcast at least once more during the week, usually while driving to work, even during weeks he makes it ...
Canadians find unique burial solution for the intermarried

On a patch of green land in this Canadian province, a wrought-iron gate stood at the entrance to a new cemetery, the words "Dedicated to the partnership of love and faith" inscribed on its doorway. The Cemeteries, as the burial ground was known, was the brainchild of Noel Sandomirsky, a federal court judge, lifelong member of the 100-year old Beth Jacob Synagogue and chairman of its chevra kadisha, or burial society. What set the two-month-old burial ground apart was its purpose: The Cemeteries was meant for Jews wishing to be buried next to their non-Jewish partners, something not ordinarily allowed under Jewish law [based on race- converts not allowed to be buried with ...

But Mario DiMartino was planning more than a weekend getaway. He, his wife and three children were embarking on a pilgrimage to South Carolina. "I want to migrate and claim the gold of the Lord," said the 38-year-old oil company executive from Pennsylvania. "I want to replicate the statutes and the mores and the scriptures that the God of the Old Testament espoused to the ...

The leader of the Italian Jewish community has called for public displays of crucifixes to be outlawed. In a statement released last week, Amos Luzzatto, Chair of the Italian Union of Jewish Communities (UCEI) spoke out against the symbols as irreflective of all members of society. "We do respect the Christian people,” Luzzato said. “But a symbol of divine presence in a public school should be recognisable by the citizens of all faiths and it should address them all in an equal manner. “Now, since every school hosts citizens with different beliefs or no belief at all, we should rather avoid displaying any symbol". Silence broken The new declaration broke the ...

A dispute between Israel and the Vatican over recent comments the pope made on terrorism appears to have been resolved after Prime Minister Ariel Sharon sent a letter to Pope Benedict XVI calling him "a true friend of Israel," Israel's ambassador to the Vatican said Friday. Israel's top diplomat at the Holy See, Oded Ben Hur, brought the letter Tuesday to the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, in what Ben Hur called an "amicable and intimate" meeting that signaled that "we definitely see this thing behind us and are looking forward to improving our relationship." The dispute began in July, when Israel summoned the Vatican envoy to complain ...

Pope gives warning of new rise in anti-Jewish prejudice

On an occasion rich with historical undertones, Pope Benedict XVI yesterday visited the synagogue in Cologne, telling his Jewish hosts that the Shoah (Holocaust) had represented "the darkest period of German and European history" and warning of "the rise of new signs of anti-Semitism". Paddy Agnew reports from Cologne. The heavy weight of history, both personal and collective, hung in the air as the Pope issued an emphatic denunciation of the "insane racist ideology" of Nazism. Among those who officially greeted him was the president of the Jewish community, Abraham Lerner, whose elderly mother, present yesterday, still bears the tattooed number given to her ...

August 23, 2005 The Preacher's Fatwah on Chavez Why Pat Robertson is Not a Christian By Rev. GRAYLAN SCOTT HAGLER Pat Robertson suggested this past Monday that the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, be assassinated by operatives of the United States government. Though his comments are newsworthy because of his following in the 700 Club and his political stature and role in the political religious right, his comments however are out of synch with everything that has been handed down to us from the teachings of Jesus Christ. What I am suggesting here is that Pat Robertson and individuals of his ilk are not practicing or preaching Christ but have become adherents of a political movement ...

CARACAS, Venezuela -- Venezuela's No. 2 man is branding the Rev. Pat Robertson's comments about the country's president "terrorist statements." Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel said the response to the religious broadcaster's suggestion that the United States kill Hugo Chavez would be a test of American anti-terrorist policy. Robertson said Chavez should be taken out to stop the world's fifth-largest oil exporter from becoming, in his words, a "launching pad for communist influence and Muslim extremism." Rangel said it's hypocritical for the United States to speak out against terrorism but do nothing about what Robertson said. The Bush administration has distanced ...

Evangelical programs on Capitol Hill seek to mold a new generation of leaders who will answer not to voters, but to God. WASHINGTON — In the blue and gold elegance of the House speaker's private dining room, Jeremy Bouma bowed his head before eight young men and women who hope to one day lead the nation. He prayed that they might find wisdom in the Bible — and govern by its word. "Holy Father, we thank you for providing us with guidance," said Bouma, who works for an influential televangelist. "Thank you, Lord, for these students. Build them up as your warriors and your ambassadors on Capitol Hill." "Amen," the students murmured. Then they picked ...

Pat Robertson Says U.S. Should Kill Venezuela's Chavez Aug. 23 (Bloomberg) Television evangelist Pat Robertson told viewers the U.S. should kill Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to prevent the Latin American country from becoming a ``launching pad'' for extremism. Chavez, 51, has repeatedly accused President George W. Bush of backing efforts to topple his government, a charge the U.S. denies. The U.S. has alleged Venezuela is using its oil to undermine democracy in Latin America. Venezuela, the U.S.'s fourth-largest oil supplier, has threatened to cut off supplies. ``We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability,'' Robertson said ...

Phariseeism, Christian Zionists and Jew Baiters By Tom Valentine (Semantics is everything when communicating with our language, especially in our modern time with the “political correctness” factor. Today we must be aware of what is called “hate speech.” Among the worst forms of hate speech is so-called “anti-semitism” which is an Orwellian semantic designed expressly for its obvious purpose. When it comes to exposing the Crown as the organized force behind world empire, I have chosen to label the philosophy behind this corporate monster Masonry. Among the many subgroups for the Masonic movement is British Israel. This purposely obscured organization has been ...
