  • Dangers of Christian Zionism

    Incredible podcast, can’t think you enough for it and the resources you provide in the show notes. The 8 part series on Christian Zionism was truly amazing and I have listened to some episodes multiple times as there is so much great and illuminating discussion in them. I am a proud Patreon supporter as well and have loved the extended episodes there.

  • Why are you lying

    These clowns managed to inverse the life of Rabbi Jesus to have nothing to do with his love to the Jewish people and their Hashem. Next these monsters attributed Rabbi Jesus with their anti Jewish attributes. Why are you do arrogant, ignorant and anti Jewish?
