Ann Coulter is in trouble again although I suspect this is one lady who doesn’t lose any sleep when people think she’s in trouble. Ann appeared on Donny Deutsch’s CNBC show ,”The Big Idea.” Why she decided to be on this two bit, low rated,liberal agenda show, I’m sure I don’t know but she did and the subject of Jews converting to Christianity came up. Now this is a subject I can comment about first hand because I am both a Jew and a Christian. I was born a Jew. I converted to Christianity. But before I share my comment, let’s take a look at Miss Coulter’s comment. Miss Coulter made the point that she would like to see Jews converted to Christianity.
For this remark, Joy Behar, the next morning on ABC’s “The View”, said, “Ann Coulter thinks Shindler’s List was a comedy.” Isn’t that wonderful? She was calling Ann Coulter a NAZI.
Did you think we were going to stop hearing stupid things on “The View” just because Rosie O’Donnell isn’t there any more? Well think again. After all “The View” still has a full panel of tactless, tiny brained, tabloid, talking twits.
First of all, Miss Coulter is merely repeating what Christians believe. Christians believe they were instructed by Jesus to share the gospel with all non-Christians including Jews. This doesn’t mean they want to impose on your religious freedom. This doesn’t mean they don’t respect your right to disagree. This doesn’t mean they will force you to convert. It just means they would be hypocrites if they said they followed Jesus and disobeyed what Jesus went out of His way to specifically command them to do. This is the teaching of the New Testament. I know. I know. You occasionally hear some minister or priest say it isn’t the teaching of the New Testament. They aren’t speaking the truth. They may call themselves clergymen but they don’t know the Bible from Marvel Comic books.
There’s a movement within Christianity inspired by anti-intellectual disasters like “The Jesus Seminar” where liberal clergymen, men such as Marcus Borg shamelessly admit that they don’t like the teaching that Jesus is the only way. Well, that’s fine. If you don’t like His teachings, don’t follow His teachings. Nobody’s making you. The choice is yours. But at least be honest. Don’t try to pretend that He didn’t say what He said, just because you don’t like it.
And that’s what “The Jesus Seminar” did for us. They decided that the controversial statements from Jesus were not actually spoken by Jesus. They had nothing to base this on, mind you. They had nothing to base it on other than the fact that they didn’t like his comments.
Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me.”
That’s what He said, folks. And no mental gymnastics in the world can force those words to mean anything other than what they say.
And I have a flash for you. Jesus isn’t the only one who said that. Almost every major religion claims it’s the only way to God, including Judaism. What was the first commandment given to the Jews through Moses the founder of Judaism, who claimed to have heard words directly from God on Mt. Sinai? “You will have no other gods before me.” One God. One religion.
Moses didn’t say “Ours is one of many beautiful paths. Buddha and Mohammad will show you other ways. Oh and Dagon, the god of the Philistines. You should respect him too.”
That’s not what Moses taught. Moses taught that the worship of any God other than the God of Israel was Idol worship.
As for Islam? Give me a break. Do I even need to repeat it? The Koran makes it abundantly clear that those who do not believe in Allah and those who do not believe Mohammad is Allah’s prophet will end up in hell. What then is the difference between a Christian and a Muslim? The Muslim will kill you if you don’t repent The Christian won’t.
Does this mean all Muslims are violent? Not at all. But it does mean that all Muslims who take the Jihad verses of their own scriptures seriously are violent.
Time to clear Christianity of its bump rap.
