1. Dennis McGinlay: "The road has been rocky!"
Re The Ten Tribes were all Exiled and are Amongst Western Peoples!
Polemics: David Parsons Refuted!
http://www.britam.org/parsons.html
Dear Yair
The article by David Parsons is to my way of thinking another attempt by Satanic forces to deny the truth of the Bible
and particularly the promises to Ephraim and Manasseh handed down from and because of Abraham. To me these are the core and fundamental prophesies in the entire old testament that point to the future history and redemption of all of Israel and humanity. They reveal the guiding hand of God in mankind's affairs and ultimate destiny. The road has been rocky but in the end all will be well.
Shalom
Dennis McGinlay
2. Brit-Am Renewed Appeal and Poem.
Brit-Am relies on the sale of publications and offerings.
Lately the sale of publications has gone down.
Our best sellers are out of print and need to be republished.
Ongoing Offerings have continued but have gone down whereas needs have gone up.
We have not made an appeal for some time even though we would have been entirely justified in doing so.
We take the situation into consideration and try not to impose on our subscribers.
Nevertheless Brit-Am provides a needed service.
We work and produce something that is of benefit.
Like everything and everybody else we need money to keep going.
For those who are at all able we ask that offerings be made.
We also believe that our work has been blessed by Divine Providence.
We believe that those who help us will receive a blessing.
Poem
Brit-Am Renewed Appeal.
This is a new Brit-Am Appeal
Brit-Am is in need of money
For bread, butter, and honey.
Rent to pay, wounds to heal
Hebrew ancestry to reveal.
Offering life, strength and hope
Print New edition of "The Tribes"
Which to countries ascribes,
Israelite forefathers subscribes.
Payment for us with life to cope
Enabling to expand our scope.
Brit-Am studies, does Research
Paths in which your fathers went
In the west to make their perch:
Proofs of your Hebraic descent.
Do not leave us in the Lurch.
With our Knowledge we Reveal
What your soul does truly feel.
For our supper we shall sing
Revelation does Brit-Am bring.
Jews and Joes to Reconcile
To be made one in little while.
Hebrew souls in guise Gentile
To Israel Come you back
Get yourselves on the track.
Brit-Am wishes to serve you well
Prove yourselves, send some change
Do not think us weird or strange.
Need of funds, print Books to sell
So that we, your truth may tell.
Everything you give will return to you
In form of Manifold Blessings true.
You shall rejoice through and through.
Please send offerings to Brit-Am either via PayPal or Snail Mail.

3. Brit-Am Appeal Intended in All Seriousness!
After making the appeal above we received only one offering and this may have been decided upon before the appeal.
Please assist Brit-Am.
The poem may sound a little light-hearted but it was intended in all seriousness.
Brit-Am has an important role to fulfill and is in need of funds.
You, our subscribers, are the only source of funding we have.
4. Problems with PayPal? Please Write Us!
One subscriber wrote and told us that they tried to make an offering via PayPal but the link from our site to PayPal is not working.
We checked it and as far as we can tell, it is working OK.
One may have to wait a minute for the link to respond''
If however anyone else has encountered a similar problem please write us ASAP with as much details (URL used etc.) as possible.
5. Different Christian Attitudes to Israel Categorized:
Recently we lambasted David Parsons in our article:
The Ten Tribes were all Exiled and are Amongst Western Peoples!
Polemics: David Parsons Refuted!
http://www.britam.org/parsons.html
On the one hand, concerning his mistaken attitude towards the Ten Lost Tribes Parsons got from us what he deserved.
Apart from that however it appears that the good gentleman has otherwise made worthwhile contributions in other spheres that are worth taking note of.
This is what we have done below:
Re the article:
"Christian Friends and Foes of Israel"
Interview with David R. Parsons
http://www.jcpa.org/JCPA/Templates/
ShowPage.asp'DBID=1&TMID=111&LNGID
=1&FID=381&PID=0&IID=2877
David Parsons categorizes the different Christian attitude to Israel under 5 Headings:
Replacement Theology
Liberation Theology
Covenantal Theology
Dispensationalism
Catholic Church
Replacement Theology and Liberation Theology are usually against the Jews and the state of Israel.
Covenantal Theology and Dispensationalism tend to be pro-Jewish and sympathetic to Zionism.
The Catholic approach is ambiguous.
Replacement Theology is the Old Classical Christian approach that says the Church has replaced Israel as the Chosen People.
Liberation Theology sees the Christian Messiah as a Revolutionary Model to be imitated. The imitating is sometimes done by sympathizing with
the Palestinians etc''
Covenantal Theology says that the Almighty will never break HIS covenant. This was presaged by writings in the Church Father but only fully developed by John Calvin. Calvin made some horrid anti-Jewish statements but his followers have often tended to be sympathetic towards the Jewish People.
Dispensationalism is associated with the Plymouth Brethren, John Darby, the Scofield Bible, and some Evangelicals. It says that the faithful will be whisked away in a cloud to heaven. Meanwhile most of the Jews on earth will be killed but those who remain will convert to Christianity and carry on the flame.
To outsiders this doctrine sounds silly but important people were influenced by it. Some of the early Restorationists (non-Jewish Zionists) emerged from its ranks as do some major supporters of Israel today.
The Catholic Church has officially rejected Replacement Theology and adopted a Covenantal approach.
In practice however the Catholics assume that they still should be regarded as the primary authority and their directives obeyed. These include policies against the existence of the State of Israel. Nevertheless, room has been made for those among them who wish to be pro-Jewish to feel more justified about it than previously.

Electricity on Sabbath: An Alternative Approach?
In the article:
"Collective Responsibility and Rabbinical Authority"

Applications of Rabbinical Law Unacceptable to the Modern Mind?

Quotation:
##Jews apparently can't ride elevators on the Sabbath because pushing a button breaks the Sabbath....Such beliefs are pure nonsense to most of us. ##
