I used to enjoy “messing” with missionaries. About 18 years ago I was handing out anti missionary literature in Brighton Beach for Beth Shifra. Along came a cheerful missionary with rapid fire questions “what about psalm 2, jeremiah 31, isiah 7 and 53” and so on. I asked him to open up and show me what it says and what it is supposed to teach me. He started reading from his king james bible and I stopped him. The original hebrew I told him, or don’t bother.we got to discussing a passuk in melachim and I told him I would like to offer him an interpretation. I read a few psukim in hebrew and told him this is a very imprtant prophecy for the 20th century. It says: a babe will be born and he will build a cathedral in the bronx. He will smite 60 four baggers in a season and subdue all his enemies. They will call him the sultan of swat and his sale will forever curse those pagan red sox.
He told me “that’s ridiculous” and I told him, on what do you base that statement? You can’t read hebrew let alone understand it. You want to sell eternal salvation to these people based on alledged proofs from these verses and you can’t even read the words. That’s more outrageous and insane then the interpretation I just offered. He walked away.
