Paul Washer said it on several occasion that he would not send his children to 98% of Sunday schools in America.

Even in the churches I've been to here, the ministry has been ignored, pampered, ill-treated and sugar-coated by wickedness of all kinds starting from hypocrisy ending with superficial psychology. I feel so very sorry for the children for the way these dogs have been treating them. The goats, both young and old, remain in the church. The resulting youths are as liberal and nonchalant as their piers.

Something must be done at the level of their piers. It cannot be just a matter of hiring someone to take over the whole case. A penalty must be paid.

However the solution turns out, it must be geared towards the direction of making the parents become truly Christian parents. Able to teach and bear witness for Christ.

That means, the leaders themselves must be parents, or of parental quality. Not just some active youth with a little know it all, while the rest of the adults are on a kind of "opium" vacation, or feeling satisfied for finding a cheap and moral idea for baby sitting their children while they went off peacefully to work and maybe give thanks to Guan Gong or Guan Yin once a while. Yes, many Chinese-American churches are really that bad. The older they are, the prouder they are having to do less things.

Thus, this is almost building the whole ministry from scratch, which affects all the way to the pulpit of the entire Sunday Service. The pastors must confront the parents in Biblical lifestyle. There is no excuse. Either one is called by God, here lies the proof of refute.

Then, if no one can take up the case of leading the youth, which is pathetic, it is better to start with the adults. A fellowship just for the adults, gearing towards building a holy family. The youth are welcome to join. Either this fellowship nor none at all. There is no shortcut. If their parents cannot fellowship together (not having lunch or watching baseball), how then should their children be expected to do so?

I shouldn't dwell too much on this now, as it is too ridiculous. First they failed the test by kicking out one who's committed to be evangelical towards the youth, against my advice. Now they want me to be the chief of their children ministry? It is easy to refute, gracefully and justly.

I simply said 2 conditions: Allow me to invite Paul Washer, and then perhaps Michael Liu. If they are not welcomed, I am certainly not welcomed as well. Paul Washer may be more admissible for them because he is an official pastor, but I doubt they would admit either one, for that is laughable otherwise, unless they see the need to change not in the structure and programs, but in themselves. I need not waste my pearls and sacred things here.

There are the Messianic Jews, the Chosen People Ministries, who want to make a distinction between the future of Israel and the Church:

Chosen People Ministries: "There are some who say that while it is true that God will restore the Jewish people to the Land, it is possible that there may be a number of "non-prophetic" re-gatherings preceding the prophetic re-gathering."

Is modern Israel a fulfillment of prophecy?

My response: There is a prophecy on Israel's return. But that Israel is and will be in the Church. Theirs is that which is in Rom 9:4, that of the firstborns. There is no need to use replacement theology for or against the separation of Israel and Church. There are many Jews in churches now, not just in the Messianic congregations. Christ has only one bride, viz. the Church. So let nothing be held against your brothers who were once not of the law, come celebrate and enjoy the feast together in the House of our Father, AT ALL TIMES.

Therefore, as to the definition of the term: Supersessionism, I am against it, if it means there's no Jewish identity. As much as I am against saying the Jewish identity is distinct from the Church. I would not say also, that the Church is the inheritance of the Jewish culture. It is rather better to say, the Jewish history revealed the foundation of the Church, that is Christ Jesus.
