The LCJE are claiming to be the custodians of the true definition of what constitutes "evangelism". By brazenly making this statement calling for a specific stand they are creating guidelines which are not theirs to create. "Christianising" is a sensitive issue to Jews, understandably since more pain has been inflicted on Jewish people in the name of Christ than most other. So what is effective "evangelising"? Honest discussion? Solicited or unsolicited? Speaking the truth in love about what WE believe and leaving it to the receiver to make their own decision /choices? What if we speak of Jesus (according to the designs of the LCJE) then lead lives which are amoral, undisciplined and worldly? What will that say to the listener about our faith, especially Jews who have an acute understanding of G-d's righteousness and Laws? It is somewhat arrogant of any group to tar Christian Zionists with the brush of "failing to share the Gospel with the poor, lost Jews" when being a friend to Jews/ Israel in a world full of enemies can have a profound effect on their perception of, and regard for, our faith.

Friends, Pullman's own comments are quite typical for the angry secular humanist- ambiguous enough to maintain the appearance of objectivity and reason. In some interviews he scathingly blames God (NOT just "church and authority") for all his own prejudices. However, when he has to sell something, such as a movie, he tones it down. He and his advocates are, by nature, the very things they claim to despise. According to a smart bloke called John, writing from Patmos, there will come a time when people take up arms against God. They actually think they can win. They won't, but if they've made their choice to take up that fight, we may be wasting time trying to talk them out of it.
