Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we take scripture out of context. When I started reading, I thought that you were sympathetic (somewhat) toward Jews. Then you quoted Acts 4:10 — “you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified…”(NASB) You make it sound like replacement theologians who decry all Judaism for the act of a few. Reading Acts 4 in context, you will see that Peter was speaking to the people when “the priests and the captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came up to them.” THESE were the ones he was speaking to who, in a political move conspiring with Pilate, demanded that Yeshua be put to death, NOT the entire population, many of whom, by the way, were entirely on Yeshua’s side (viz the multitude throwing palm branches in his path as he came ito the city).

It has always been a belief in Judaism that the righteous of all nations will have a place in the Olam Haba, the World to Come. Why should Christians think that they have a monoply on salvation (which, by the way, is an extended topic by itself). “The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my salvation” (Ex 15:2). “Let the God of my salvation be exalted (Ps. 18:46). “My soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation” (Is. 61:10).

Over and over in the Hebrew Scriptures, God is claimed to be their Salvation, their Savior. God is actually named more times as Savior through the entire Bible than Yeshua is.

The question should be, “Who does the saving?” Let’s look at Yeshua’s words in John 5:24(NASB): “He who hears My word, and believes HIM WHO SENT ME, has eternal life.” Salvation is in God more than it is in His son (not to say that the Son does not impart salvation).

Let’s take another look at John 3:16 without the pronouns (and not being a Greek scholar, I might misread the intention of one or two): “For God so loved the world that GOD gave GOD’S only begotten son that whosoever believes in GOD should not perish but have everlasting life.”

Do the Jews need to be perfected? Isn’t that up to the One who saves and will save?

Shalom

As a Jew, when I here a Gentile say I need to be perfected, I hear overtones of Nazi-ism, where Jews were deemed subhuman, and not deserving of life.

Of course none of us are perfect! Apparently, Ann Coulter least of all!

If Joe Scarborough has publicly declared that he finds none of Ann Coulter’s statements taught in the Bible and that we are not to judge, then why is he judging Ann Coulter’s statements. Of course, we are to judge teachings and doctrine in order to know if they are false teachers. Apparently Joe Scarborough has not read what the Apostle Paul commanded who wrote most of the New Testament. Of course, Donny Deutch should throw away his Judaism for true Christianity as Ann Coulter suggested, exactly what the Apostle Paul did. Why do you supposed Paul’s name is no longer Saul. As to true religion being divorced from sound doctrine…pagans and cults and false religions give to the poor. Judas even suggested this. [Paul also gave to the poor]. The reason we are in the fix we are in is because of people like Joe Scarborough who have not heeded the Scripture:

1Ti 4: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

So we should not judge teaching to test the spirits for sound doctrine huh?

In this regard, here is my response to Ann Coulter.

October 12, 2007

Dear Ann Coulter,

As an author of two books demolishing Rick Warren’s teachings through my publisher Southwest Radio Ministries, l must come to your defense regarding your statements to Donny Deutch on the Big Idea TV Show earlier this week regarding the true essence of Christianity. Furthermore I must commend you for having the backbone that other so-called Christian have failed to exhibit in obeying Christ’s commands. OF COURSE, CHRISTIANS WOULD THAT NONE PERISH AND PRAY AND PREACH THAT EVERYONE BECOMES A CHRISTIAN…THAT IS THE GREAT COMMISSION WHETHER THEY ARE JEW OR GENTILE…NO EXCEPTIONS. IT IS THE CENTRAL DOCTRINE OF CHRISTIANITY AND THE NEW TESTAMENT AND PRECISELY WHAT THE APOSTLE PAUL TAUGHT.

From the New Testament:

John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” JESUS CHRIST

The Apostle Paul taught in Galatians that whoever taught another gospel should be eternally damned. So of course, this is the Christian message. This is the New Covenant! The New Testament!

Even callers on Michael Savages show last night who disagreed with your statements confirmed that is nothing more than orthodox Christian doctrine….The Apostle Paul’s theology. Now may oppose Christianity [of course he would as he is not a Christian], but people should not be surprised that you were simply mirroring what the martyred and persecuted (and non-marytred) saints have believed since the inception of Christianity). Everyone seemed so shocked and Michael Savage has come unhinged by your statements. But what shocks me is how many don’t even know this is straight New Testament theology. The Apostle Paul marked those those who did not believe or teach this as false teachers. A host of saints were burned at the stake for believing this. HELLO!?!?!?!

Pastor John Hagee is a friend and frequent guest of Michael Savage on his Savage Nation radio show. Michael Savage said he would never again have you as a guest…in great part because of beliefs she just expressed on the Big Idea TV show. Yet he continues to have John Hagee as a guest that he highly esteems WHO BELIEVES ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS YOU…at least regarding the core doctrines of Christianity. Michael Savage’s respect for John Hagee is so high regarding interpretation of Biblical Prophecy that he re-airs his appearance on his show. And I have heard a host of his shows and would commend him for many of his positions. But his vitriolic attack on Ann Coulter must be opposed. If anyone doubts that you views expressed on the Big Idea show, as a whole, represent what most conservative Christian and Biblical Scholars believe, why don’t they have one as a guest, such as Dr. Robert Morey and Richard Land from the Southern Baptist Convention…or someone famous that is known to be a conservative Christian? I sure hope you say this on Hannity and Coombs Show too!

I have been a guest on about a thousand radio stations, and will do what I can to publicly come to your defense, though you are quite capable of defending yourself without my help. You are a 21st Century Deborah or Esther.

btw, I also heard your great interview on Kevin McCullough’s Muscle Head Radio Show in NYC.

Now I would love to see you for President against Hillary. In fact, I would pay money to watch you two debate! The Roman Collesium could not rival putting these two adversaries in the same ring!

You would have Hillary for lunch! You would be the only candidate, male or female that I think has the backbone to go toe-to-toe with her. Christians all over the country are in great dismay because there is no real David who would ignite them. Don’t you meet all of Janet Folger’s criteria for President in her recent article? (Janet Folger ended up picking Huckabee…but Huckabee is a Rick Warrenite through and through). She should have picked you!

Well done thy good and faithful servant!

Kindest regards in Christ,
