What is it that keeps Christians and Jews from getting to know one another on a meaningful level? There are obvious differences, but there are also many points of connection, as Bob O’Dell has learned over the years. Bob joins us to talk about his book, Five Years With Orthodox Jews: How Connecting With God’s People Unlocks Understanding of God’s Word. Bob relates how this book came to be through his partnership with Gidon Ariel at Root Source. Those who understand the Hebrew Roots of our faith and the central role of the Jewish people in God’s plans will appreciate this conversation. Those who are not yet familiar with these topics may be surprised at how much we have in common and can learn from one another!

Israel's enemies within the Promised Land had only two choices: run or die. Israel was not to take captives from them or spare anyone. God owns all things, including nations. He gets to decide who lives and dies. The Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, etc., had adopted such abhorrent religious practices that God said even the infants and animals must die.
Deuteronomy 20:18
However, even in combat, one must be always cognizant of God's Law and one's own behavior. Just war executed according to God's commandments is never "anything goes". Victory is predicated on obedience.

My wife is such a tease. She packed something in my lunch that she knows I never eat unless it’s on sushi…. Seaweed. ?
God allows certain kinds of slavery in his Law. Slavery isn't inherently sinful. The problem is in how it is conducted. No human can own another outright, but God can delegate authority temporarily. Your sensibilities are irrelevant.
If a conquered people remains enslaved to Israel for many generations, then Israel has failed in her mission to be a light to all nations. These slaves ought to be made into Israelites and then released in the seventh year.

In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
John 16:26-27
If even the intercession of the Son of God himself can't make the Father love us any more, what power do you think dead people have? Solomon said "the dead know nothing", and David said that the dead neither remember nor praise God. Moses said that anyone who tries to talk to the dead are an abomination to God. Praying to dead saints, even Mary, can't help you and will definitely hurt you.
You can pray directly to God and he will hear you, if you love and obey #yeshua.
“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord (Yahuwah); In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.”
Psalms 5:3 NKJV
In Acts 3:19-20, Peter said that Jesus would only return after Israel repents from their sins. Does that include recognizing him as Messiah? Maybe not. Consider the pattern of Joseph and his brothers in Egypt… Joseph didn't reveal his full and true identity to his brothers until after he was certain they had repented for what they did to him so many years before. Expect this same pattern to play out in the #endtimes. That's not to say that they don't need to repent and recognize him.
A call to repentance is a blessing, because only thru repentance can we receive the fullest blessing that God intends for us. (Acts 3:26) Ignoring the sins of anyone (including the Jews) isn't a blessing, but a curse.
