In the Shame of Jesus
Have you ever wondered why the Jewish people do not trust the “church” and want nothing to do with the Christian Jesus? Why have Jewish people received such bad press from Christians over the centuries? There is a hidden history of church sponsored anti-Semitism deeply embedded in the DNA of the organized Christian church. There are multiple skeletons in their closets. I remember having studied Church History in Bible School and not a word was given over to the conflict between Judaism and the organized Christian church. Most people have some vague idea that something was not right between them, but they have no idea as to the hidden history that has made the Jewish people dig in their heels against the message of the gospel of Christ and wanting to distant themselves as far away from the church as could be possible.
My good friend William Heinrich has spent much time in uncovering this hidden history of anti-Semitism of the church. His book opens up two completely misunderstood issues that have their roots beginning in the 2nd century church and the ramifications of that theological movement that still cloaks the minds today of most Bible believers who give great honor to the literal interpretation of the Scriptures.
Poking God’s Eye
Today anti-Semitism is on the rise again. It has always been a historical issue from the beginning of God’s choosing of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But few people connect the relationship that God has with the Jewish people and the State of Israel. The central issue is the Abrahamic Covenant of Genesis 12 and in particular verse 3. There God makes a clear statement as a warning to all Gentiles of all time. It is called the blessings and curses of the Abrahamic Covenant. It states the following, and I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you.
Throughout this book I will show the outworking of the blessings and curses of the Abrahamic Covenant through nations and individuals who chose to curse Israel and, of course, those who chose to bless Israel. It is a promise to Israel and a warning to Gentiles from Genesis 12 through the tribulation period, and it has not diminished in intensity or departed from the mind and heart of God throughout all of Scripture. To curse Israel is to curse the God of Israel and today Christians and secular nations are cursing Israel and in so doing they are cursing God who provided them with salvation.
About Ariel Ministries
Ariel Ministries has been born from necessity to meet an urgent need for evangelism and discipleship of Jewish people.Arnold Fruchtenbaum graduated from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1971 and received his Ph.D. from New York University in 1989. After graduating from Dallas, he moved to Israel with his wife Mary Ann and established a Bible institute. The institute became so effective in discipleship that after two years certain religious leaders forced Arnold and Mary Ann to leave Israel.
Jewish Culture
Our Debt of Love to the Jewish People
The Jewish people have made great contributions to humanity in literature, law, history, philosophy, art and science. How is it that such a small group of people has filtered to the top in many professional fields? The enemies of the Jewish people would have many reasons to express their hatred of them. But what is the perspective of the Bible and of God, it’s author?
