I've seen many goyim come out of xianity and convert to Judaism without being coaxed out by a Rabbi or even a Jew. Some of these former xians never even knew a Jew before approaching a Rabbi for the purpose of learning for conversion. They were discouraged and turned away several times as was the custom of the Jewish people until recently. If someone is sincerely searching for the truth, Hashem will lead them to it. Of course this was before certain Rabbis starting "teaching" in xian churches and hosting xian groups in Israel under the guise of "being a light unto the nations". So, you could see how I could wonder how a xian can "learn Torah" from an Orthodox Rabbi for 5 or 10 years and still believe his idolatrous beliefs. Then I heard that these Rabbis are telling the xians it's ok for them to be xians. It's ok for them to worship a man-god? It's ok for them to teach that the NT is the word of G-d? It's ok for them to spread lies throughout the world and pass it off as the truth? And these Rabbi's call xians righteous gentiles? I'm shocked. Even if it was ok, which I don't believe (see Idolatry and the Customs of the Nations, Torah for the Nations, Christianity: OK for xians?, ), it isn't desirable to the creator of the world. It is hard enough to leave a false religion without a Jew, who is supposed to have the truth, telling you there's no need to leave it. These Rabbis are spreading darkness not light. They are also causing unnecessary pain to true bnai Noach and converts who left that false religion. Many bnai Noach feel lost and rejected because many Rabbis are spending all of their time teaching xians and some of the Rabbis who are teaching bnai Noach are teaching things that not only are not true but dangerous (see "the Torah of Shem). I understand that Hashem allows lies to be spread, as well as truth, to maintain free will but it is getting harder and harder to find the truth. Any sincere Rabbi who is teaching xians should keep the words of Rebbi Nachman in mind. Being a light unto the nations is not a commandment, it is a statement of fact. When we as a people keep mitzvot and serve Hashem we shine like a light of a lighthouse showing the correct path.
I wrote a post about missionary Jack Hayford commissioning his "watchmen on the walls" back in 2008. I asked why religious and government leaders would be involved with this endeavor? While researching Hayford I discovered that he had built four altars in Israel. I didn't blog about it at the time. I saw today that Hayford will be hosting a tour of Israel next April. Included in the tour are visits to these four altars. Does anyone know where these altars are?
We went with a sense of mission to exercise the practice of prophetic prayer, literally moving through the land to touch the North, South, East, and West. As a prayer team, we built altars at each of these boundaries of the nation, where we lifted up key issues to be proclaimed over the land. These are the same issues that need to be raised up over your life—kingdom principles that apply to all of us.
In the South, we built the Altar of TRUTH (Psalm 119:165), praying that Israel will honor the Word; that the Word be made alive—a veil removed to see more than words; to see truth: “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).
In the East, we built the Altar of LIFE (Ezekiel 37:9,14), praying that there would come an outpouring of the Spirit according to Zechariah 12:10: “I will pour on Israel the Spirit of grace and supplication, and they will look upon Me whom they pierced.”
In the North, we built the Altar of WORSHIP (Zechariah 14:16-18), praying in intercession that all who worship the Lord now in spirit and in truth would become a token invoking further grace, including breaking the drought in this land.
In the West, we built the Altar of PRAISE (Psalm 113:1-3), praying praise to drive back the darkness; praise for what has begun; and praise that Israel’s boundaries not only be secured but expanded in her mission to mankind.
