What god would condone countries warring in his name sake? Wasn't the "League of Nations" established for that reason?
An important message, sir. Sadly, they do need armed guards and security.
I attend a Jewish messianic Congregation and we’ve heard threats and we do have security.

Important message. Keep up the “good” work.
It’s not just Jews who have to worry about attacks. The headlines have been full of reports of individuals committing acts of violence against blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and many times just people in general. A common theme is the person committing these acts have been bullied or have very low self esteem. Most know they will probably die when law enforcement arrives but they know the media will make every effort to identify them and research their entire life. Thus they become, in a sick way, famous and no longer the losers they were before. I attend a very small Methodist church in a rural area. I am licensed for concealed carry and have been bringing a firearm to our services just in case. These are sad times.

Absolutely correct George. I used voice recognition in my iPad this morning so I kept it short. But yes, all churches have been threatened, Catholics as of lately too. It is a sad situation. I was just reading about the trans kid who was planning a school shooting to get famous !!!! I am so sad our kids, culture, society, has depraved to such an evil low. How do these kids get this way ??????
Basically, nobody is safe.
Last year the big Messianic synagogue in Dallas received a threat and the FBI traced it from Pennsylvania !!!!
God help us as we pray.

Apparently, not everyone who lives in the United States believes in the "land of the free", especially the First Amendment. You have my empathy, and prayers that this situation will change.
Ben the church I go to has one Police officer on Sundays; but as one of the pastors said "there are many who attend and conceal carry and who shoot accurately".

Hi Ben: Thank you for sharing your message. I don't stop in as often as I would like, but this hate is not what we in this country are all about. I'm a two time esophageal cancer survivor who without the skills of two Jewish doctors and one Physician assistant would not be here. Whenever I can I speak up that this country was founded on religious freedom.
I contacted each of my Jewish friends and my medical team today to wish them the following sentiment which I extend to you and your congregation: Chag Pesach Sameach! I gave them the additional message from this old guy raised Methodist - Stay safe and know that the people that count are with you.
Enjoy your holiday and may our Creator watch over all of you.
The untold disheartening part is that many in washington support those who hate both Jews and Christians
Great Message, Shabbat Shalom and happy Pesach.
