A strange fundamentalist Christian missionary group that calls itself “Jews for Jesus” is conducting a multi-city “Passover” tour.
The group works the Jewish holiday as an opportunity for self-promotion and fund raising amongst fellow fundamentalists.
Some recent pit stops for “JFJ” included Gales Creek, Oregon, New Orleans, Kansas City and even Juneau, Alaska.
Their program “Christ in the Passover” supposedly shows the audience how this Jewish holiday that predates Christianity, is really somehow about Jesus.
Right.
This makes about as much sense as members of Rev. Moon’s Unification Church putting on a show to reveal how Easter is really an allusion symbolically foretelling the coming of their “messiah.”
After all, they believe Moon must finish the job Jesus failed to complete, but insist they are “Christians.”
Does this make them “Christians for Messiah Moon”?
The Jewish community has historically objected to having its holidays misrepresented this way.
Never mind.
Missionaries paid by “Jews for Jesus” are not exactly concerned with either political correctness or promoting ecumenical understanding. They just like to put on their show, leave town and let the community deal with the fallout.
However, other evangelical Christians such as Billy Graham, don’t seem to agree with the group’s agenda of targeting Jews for special proselytizing.
no comment untill now
