I was recently watching a program on ISPN (just stopped there for a second) where they were asking Christians to send money to help relocate Jews to Israel from Russia. the idea being that we are to help God's "chosen" people. the Jews get back to the land that is theirs by promise. A few of todays famous Christians are on the band wagon pleading for our $$ to help those over there in antisemitic Russia get back to their promised land.
What is the reformed response to this kind of manipulation and idea that we some how owe the Jewish people our help?
I am not against sending aid to those in need but to give it out of a sense that it is right because they are God's people, even though most if not all are Christ haters and do not know the God of their fathers (Abraham, David, etc,etc) makes no sense to me. I pray that they will come to the true faith that is in Christ alone but I do not see where it is scriptural to aid those who are apostate.
