The Christian rabbi who offered a prayer for the weekends victims of neo-Nazi terror at a rally with Vice President Mike Pence on Monday believes that Jews who do not accept Christ as their savior go to hell.
Wearing a Jewish prayer shawl, Loren Jacobs invoked Yeshua, a Hebrew word for Jesus, in his prayers for Republican candidates at the start of the Oakland County rally, near Detroit. Pence later called on Jacobs, whom he described as a leader in the Jewish community here in Michigan, to offer a special prayer for the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and their families.
Jacobs, who leads the messianic congregation Shema Yisrael in Bloomfield Hills, again invoked Jesus in his remarks.
Lord, I pray that we would see fewer and fewer horrible tragedies like this. And I pray this beshem Yeshua in the name of Jesus, he concluded.
The choice of Jacobs to pray for the synagogue victims rankled many Jews. Within American Judaism, there is an overwhelming consensus that Messianic Jews, a subset of whom identify as Jews for Jesus, are not Jews at all ― but simply Christians by another name who use Jewish language and ritual to evangelize for Christianity.
