“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.” [Ezekiel 33:6]

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” [Ephesians 6:12]

[1] Church of Scotland and Scotland’s Jewish Community to Hold Talks Aimed at Repairing Rift over 2013 Kirk Report Saying Scripture Provides No Basis for Jewish Claims to Israel

A 4 August 2016 Israel National News article titled “Church of Scotland, Jewish Community to ‘Repair’ Relations” reports that a group of ten people from the Church of Scotland (CoS) and Scotland’s Jewish community plan to meet to “repair the damage” caused by a 2013 report saying there is no scriptural basis for Jewish claims to Israel. The report additionally recommended that the CoS boycott Israel.

CoS minister and convener of the CoS Church and Society Council the Rev. Richard Frazer stated:

“Alongside others from the Church of Scotland, I am looking forward to embarking upon this important piece of work together from our colleagues from within the Jewish community. We hold a great deal in common as people whose shared faith is rooted in the story of Abraham. That faith inspires us to work together for a better world as well as striving for a deeper understanding and greater mutual respect for one another.”
