It may make Jews feel good now if we acede to their demands and do not pray for their conversion, but what will they think of us when they find themselves in hell because nobody ever tried to tell them the truth? Then they will be real pleased with us, I'm sure! And will we be beside them because we failed to tell them? Remember the words of God to Ezekiel the prophet:<BR/><BR/><B>...if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’“So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. “Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: ‘Thus you say, “If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?”’ Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’</B> [Ezekiel 33:6-11]<BR/><BR/>The duty to preach concerns not only the souls of those whose conversion we pray for, but for our own souls as well. <BR/><BR/>Was this comment politically incorrect because it dared to say that some Jews may go to hell?<BR/><BR/>BonifaceBonifacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10672810254075072214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-30163043435764502682008-02-18T08:07:00.000-05:002008-02-18T08:07:00.000-05:00Amazing. First they took it away from us and said...Amazing. First they took it away from us and said sorry it's not our problem, now we have to tolerate changes. Now, I believe any race or religion should be respected even though that doesn't apply to Catholics, but It gets real tiring listening to all of their whining and crying. Just like anything else in this world, if you can whine the most you get what you want. Personally, I see a schism coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086833995941525990.post-54392512607624968232008-02-17T20:59:00.000-05:002008-02-17T20:59:00.000-05:00Amen.

Believing in the necessity of Christ and His Church for salvation we would certainly be anit-Semitic to pray for everyone except the Jews!<BR/>What really annoys me about this issue is that certain "Jewish" groups are spewing forth blatant anti-Catholicism and they get away with it. How many times do we have to read that Jews are afraid of the prayer because they remember persecutions by Christian in the Middle Ages? Are they implying that there is a "Christian conspiracy" against Jews? What would they say if I implied a "Jewish conspiracy" against Christians? <BR/>The hate towards the prayer seems to boil down to a ridiculous belief that it will make Christians into a blood thristy mob bent on killing Jews. Some news reports have freely admitted this. But, I wonder, do the same Jews who seem to look down upon and fear us Christians, fear for the Palestinians being persecuted by Israeli Jews who believe God's special Covenant applies only to the Jews and no one else?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
