I realize now that when Jimmy Carter sent his al het (request for
forgiveness) to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (the Jewish version of
the Associated Press) Jimmy was trying to speak to God.
Jimmy could have tried to talk to a real Jewish or Israeli audience but he wanted to speak directly to God.
Jimmy most likely has been reading the first five books of the bible
(Torah) and the prophets.
Two things are clear, absolutely clear on every page, (1) the Christian God is the same as the Jewish God, Jesus was, after all Jewish... and (2) the Jewish God says it in hundreds of biblical statements that 'the enemy of Israel is the enemy of GOD'.
I think Jimmy just got scared about his future eternity in Christian Hell. I hope he mentions this next time he sees Bishop Tutu.
