On May 18th, an event supporting Israel is happening in Eugene, hosted by a Christian organization. I am planning on attending, and wonder what it will be like.
At the last one of these I attended, the featured speaker even discussed Romans 11 but completely failed to see the application I just mentioned. Instead, the event had features that would strongly discourage an unbelieving Jew from attending:
- economic activity on a Shabbat
- church sanctuary as the lecture hall
- no recognition of the presenters seeing any remaining Jewish identity besides lineage and land
- discussion of donations of money, but not goods, to help poor Israelis
- lack of Jewish worship on a Shabbat
- teaching that claims Gentile believers are as much "Israel" as Jewish people
