This is very sad for me, and again it reveals a part of the falling away that is going on today,
that falling away that Jesus did tell us would happen. This Jewish man says he was converted to
Christianity, with Jews for Jesus and Messianic Judaism. I have
heard that many of these congregations are very (as Mr. Levey says in the video) cultlike, so again of
course the devil can use such things to say "this is what Christianity
is, it is a cult"...and this young man now preaches to Jews to warn them
about people that evangelize to Jews.
Indeed, the devil DOES NOT want Jews to truly be born of His Spirit. Satan doesn't want anyone to come to Christ especially the Jews for whom satan has a special and particular hatred and finds all kinds of ways to lead people astray, as he did with this young man, and of course that hatred then gets blameshifted to be hatred that comes from the God of the New Testament and from Jesus. Sigh. It is satan that has sent people to hell, satan is the one that made the need for one a reality. Yes God created satan, yes satan became evil and God knew that would happen...but just as you and I can predict certain things with great accuracy, and perhaps even cause things to be put things into motion that turn out to lead to tragic events does not thereby mean that we made it to be so with that as our sole purpose in mind....even so, God knew that would happen therefore He also created the antidote, the one that is being mocked and jeered about in this video, and lots of other blogs and places as well...
At about the 12:30 mark he mentioned his mother's disappointment with his becoming a Christian: "had I become a Buddhist or an atheist it wouldn't have been as bad..." and there it is, it is better to believe in a fake God or no God at all than to believe in Jesus...and the devil couldn't be behind such a thing because there is no such thing as a devil...or so the devil says....
Being born again is not just "an experience"... if God did it, it is a reality that doesn't go away.
