NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 28, 2018 – A surprising number of Americans with Evangelical beliefs have Jewish roots, and the vast majority of Evangelicals believe it is important to share the Gospel with the Jewish people, according to a study by LifeWay Research underwritten by Chosen People Ministries and New York Times bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg.

The study, “Evangelical Attitudes Toward Israel and the Peace Process,” found that:

  • Eighty-six percent of Americans with evangelical beliefs say sharing the Gospel with Jewish people is important; and
  • An estimated 871,000 Americans with evangelical beliefs – almost three times the most generous previous estimates — have a Jewish parent or grandparent.

“The study indicates unprecedented openness and responsiveness to the Gospel among American Jews and Americans with Jewish roots,” said Rosenberg, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen. “What’s more, a significant percentage of American Evangelicals without Jewish roots say they believe sharing the…

Objective in Faith

Biblical Proof

SUBJECTIVE: relating to or determined by the mind as the subject of experience  b : characteristic of or belonging to reality as perceived rather than as independent of mind

OBJECTIVE: of, relating to, or being an object, phenomenon, or condition in the realm of sensible experience independent of individualthought and perceptible by all observers.

There are many who profess that the truth of God is in the eye of the beholder. What is truth for one is not truth for the other. In other words, to them, truth is subjective. If truth is to be a standard, it must be the same for everyone. Col 3:25 Truth isn’t fair if it varies from person to person, or from situation to situation. Nevertheless, what sayeth the scripture?
