Once a Jew, always a Jew - irrespective of any spiritual conversion an individual may have gone through!!!!

There really does not seem to be any doubts at all that the author of the attached article is one of the best known and gifted of the modern Jewish Christian writers.

Notwithstanding that fact, the purpose of this article is not to denigrate Joel C. Rosenberg as all that I am attempting to do in this instance is to verify that what a person is at the onset of his life he will more than likely maintain his original heritage right throughout his life.

Rosenberg was born a Jew, (and by the obvious favour that he shows towards Israel and the Jews, and in the instance of this article his obvious biased attitude towards the current Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu) he will die a Jew.

As that is the case, even though he may have had a spiritual conversion, to later on in his life, become a Born Again Christian, he was still a Jew first and a Jew is what he will be for the rest of his life, not that there is anything wrong with that at all.

As that is the case, the aforementioned comments are of a derogatory nature against Rosenberg, as that was not the intention at all. The purpose of the aforementioned comments were to simply verify that what a person is at the onset of their lives they will more than likely remain for as long as they live, as blood is always thicker than water.

TIME Crowns Netanyahu “KING BIBI”: The Eyes of the Nations Are Riveted on Israel
By Joel C. Rosenberg

When was the last time the leader of a country with fewer than eight million citizens made the cover of Time magazine?

“Time Magazine devoted its lead story to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is featured on the cover of the renowned publication, under the heading ‘King Bibi,’” reports Ynet News. “Underneath the heading, in the article, titled ‘Bibi’s choice,’ author Richard Stengel describes Netanyahu’s unshakable political stature, writing that he ‘is poised to become the longest-serving Israeli Prime Minister since David Ben-Gurion, the founding father of Israel. He has no national rival. His approval rating, roughly 50%, is at an all-time high.’”

It is further evidence that the eyes of the nations are indeed riveted on Israel, the epicenter of the momentous events that are shaping our times and shaking our world.

'King Bibi' Graces Cover of TIME Magazine
The Jerusalem Post reports that “Netanyahu discussed his relationship with the presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, disputing the impression left by a recent New York Times piece that the two have a ‘warm friendship little known to outsiders’ stretching back decades that was ‘nurtured over meals in Boston, New York and Jerusalem.... It was at Boston Consulting [Group] that he met Mitt Romney,’ Stengel wrote. ‘We did not know each other that well,’ Bibi says. ‘He was the whiz kid. I was just in the back of the room.’ In actuality, the article says, Netanyahu has seen Romney only a handful of times over the years and only once this year—when they spoke for 10 minutes during his visit to Washington in March, mainly about Iran. Netanyahu was asked about the cover and Time’s appellation ‘King Bibi’ during a press conference Thursday in Prague. ‘I can tell you one thing,’ he quipped, ‘Israel will remain a democracy, not become a monarchy.’ This was the second time Netanyahu had the weekly news magazine’s cover all to himself, the first time being on June 10, 1996, after he was elected prime minister for the first time. Then the headline was, ‘Can He Make Peace?’

Last month a small portrait of him appeared in a collage on Time’s cover of the ’100 Most Influential People in the World.’

WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST; John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.
