Who does Israel's Law of Return try to keep out?
Israel's Law of Return tries to keep out Christians and even Jewish people who are professed believers in Christ; they will not let them in. This reflects a religiously hidebound mindset that leaves no room for a Gentile in their so-called religion.
Les explains that in Israel's Law of Return, they try to keep out Christians or even Jewish people who are professed believers in Christ. They won't let them in. The reason, he says, is that religiously they are still hidebound, believing there is no room for a Gentile in their so-called religion. He ties this to Paul's ministry: when Paul took salvation based on Jesus of Nazareth, a Jew, to the Gentile world, the nation of Israel detested him. Moses had foretold that another nation would come into fellowship with their God, and they would hate them for it. The more Gentiles succumbed to the Gospel, the more the Jewish people fought it, except for a few. Les says it is no different today.
