I am going to probably get in trouble and create a "heated discussion," but I want to comment on the Messianic "Rabbi" Loren Jacobs' presence and prayer at the Mike Pence rally on 10-29-18.
There is a lot of controversy about whether Jewish people who believe in Jesus are still Jewish, and in my opinion, it depends. The Jews who are "believers" in Jesus who are active church members, are Christians but also Jewish. Then there are the Jews who go to messianic synagogues like the one that Loren Jacobs leads. They act a bit more Jewish than the church going Jews, but they are Christians too but also Jewish.
No matter what, nothing changes the fact that these people were born Jewish. Believing that Jesus is the Messiah doesn't change their heritage. Hitler didn't care and killed anyone who had any Jewish blood in their veins.
It has been stated publicly that "Rabbi" Loren Jacobs believes that the people killed at the Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh have been sent to hell. His brother-in-law is the executive director of the Jews for Jesus organization by the way. That organization's goal is to share the news that all Jews need to believe that Jesus is the only way to God and is supported by churches and Christians.
Anyway....It is just wrong to have a messianic rabbi pray for the dead (in Jesus name) who were killed in the shooting that took place at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh on 10-27-18 and then pray for Republicans to win the election!
Note: I am NOT a messianic Jew and don't believe in the "one way thing," but I am friends with quite a few messianic Jews because of my "crazy religious past." Some of those friends are very nice people and we accept one another's beliefs. Others are not really my friends.
