Ideologies are simple ideas, disguised as science or philosophy, that purport to explain the complexity of the world and offer remedies that will perfect it. Ideologues are people who pretend they know how to “make the world a better place”

“No matter how great the dose of goodwill and the desire to repair the many mistakes that Christianity has undoubtedly made in its relationship with the Jewish people, nothing justifies wanting to be like them when we are not. We, Gentile believers, owe them a lot, as Jesus himself (John 4:22) and the apostle Paul are keen to remind us (Rom 3:2; 9:4-5), but we do them a great disservice if we attempt to take over their unique place within redemption history.”

“Occasionally weep deeply over the life you hoped would be. Grieve the losses. Then wash your face. Trust God. And embrace the life you have.”

“The early church was Jewish, Jewish to the bone, and did not consider the large number of gentiles added to it over the years to be an obstacle to unity. It also saw no need for non-Jews to assume the obligations stipulated in the Torah, and the matter was settled. Revisiting this issue shows enormous disrespect for the saving work of the Messiah, apostolic authority, and God himself. The solution was never based on Judaizing the gentiles or gentilizing the Jews but on maintaining distinctions.”

“Moreover, we must do all this without becoming them or wanting them to be like us. When the distinctions God has designed are not respected, absolute confusion is the only thing to expect. This is precisely the type of confusion brought about by HRM. Few things are as amusing and tragic at the same time as groups of gentiles who want to pass themselves off as Jews and who, far from approaching the Scriptures, embrace rabbinical practices and traditions, along with folklore that is utterly foreign to them. A mixture that could undoubtedly be called “strange fire” (Lev 10:1).”

“If we do not understand the precious plan that God has for the gentiles, and that difference in no way implies inferiority, we will never be able to enjoy a healthy and fruitful relationship with the Jews. As Gentiles, it is our duty to love them, collaborate with them, and fight alongside them against anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism—Christian or of any other kind. Ours is also the blessing of participating with them in the rich heritage that has come to us through Yeshua.”
