Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 08/10/2026As a Palestinian Christian, sometimes I feel like the world remembers our churches and holy sites, but forgets the people praying inside them. كمسيحي فلسطيني، أحيانًا بحس إن العالم بتذكّر كنائسنا وأماكننا المقدسة، بس بنسى الناس اللي بتصلّي جواها. 021
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Did you know the first Arab Lutheran bishop in the world was Palestinian? 🇵🇸 Rev. Dr. Daoud Haddad was elected in 1979 as Lutheran bishop in Jerusalem. Five Palestinian Lutheran bishops have served since 1979: Daoud Haddad, Naim Nassar, Munib Younan, Sani Ibrahim Azar and Imad Haddad. 020
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 06/10/2026If you love God, you love everything He has made. If you hate any of His creatures, you hate God, even if you claim otherwise. إذا إنت بتحب الله، المفروض إنك بتحب كل اللي خلقه. وإذا بتكره أي واحد من خليقته، فإنت بتكره الله، حتى لو بتدعي عكس ذلك 010
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I don’t want a Christianity that wins arguments. I want a Christianity that looks like Jesus: one that loves, serves, forgives, speaks truth, and stands with the oppressed أنا ما بدي ديانة همّها تثبت إنها الصح وتربح كل نقاش. بدي ديانة تشبه المسيح: تحب، وتخدم، وتغفر، وتحكي كلمة الحق، وتوقف مع المظلوم 020
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Two Palestinian Christian women, Maysaa Abu Daoud (Ayad) & Marie Al-Najjar (Abu Daoud), were murdered today, October 3, in an Israeli strike on their apartment in Gaza City. Two more lives lost. Two more Palestinian Christian families left grieving. END THE GENOCIDE. END THE KILLING. LET GAZA LIVE 021
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 02/10/2026إلى الإخوة والأحبّة والأصدقاء في لبنان، حفل توقيع كتاب «اليوم الثالث: قراءة في الهوية المسيحية الفلسطينية» 010
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Jesus never ran from the truth. He never stayed silent or softened his criticism just to make people comfortable. So why are we afraid to speak the truth? المسيح عمره ما خاف من الحق، ولا سكت عنه أو خفّف من حدّة نقده عشان يرضي الناس. ليش إحنا بنخاف نحكي الحق؟ 020
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Palestinian Christians rock! Proud of who we are, proud of where we come from, and proud to still be here ❤️🇵🇸✝️ 020
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 01/10/2026True. Both are not the same. Judaism is a 3,000 years old religion, and Zionism is a 100+ years old political colonial movement. 110
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 30/09/2026God doesn’t need us to hate anyone on His behalf الله مش بحاجة إلنا عشان نكره أي حدا كرماله 021
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Without justice, what looks like peace from a distance can look very different up close: surrender بدون عدالة، اللي ممكن يبين سلام من بعيد، لما تقرّب بتكتشف إنه مجرد استسلام 011
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 29/09/2026“I don’t believe peace comes from pretending the differences aren’t there. It comes from naming them honestly and choosing, again and again, to stay in relationship.” 010

Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 27/09/2026You cannot ask people to make peace with injustice and then call it peace ما بصير تطلب من المظلوم يتعايش مع الظلم، وبعدين تسمي هذا سلام 130
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 24/09/2026You can love Jewish people and still believe that Palestinians deserve freedom, dignity and justice. These things are not contradictions ممكن تحب اليهود وبنفس الوقت تؤمن إنه الفلسطينيين إلهم حق بالحرية والكرامة والعدالة. هاي الأشياء مش متناقضة 020

Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Does God have a favorite nation, or does He see all as equal? هل عند الله شعب مفضّل، ولا كل الناس متساوين قدامه؟ #God #Christianity #jesus #christ #bible #theology 020
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I struggle with any theology that asks me to believe God cares more about a piece of land than about the people who live on it بصراحة، بصعب عليّ أتقبل أي لاهوت بطلب مني أؤمن إن الله بهمه الحجر والارض أكثر من الناس اللي عايشين عليها 081

Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 11/09/2026We are not only the oldest Christian community on Earth. We are the FIRST Christians, rooted in the very land where Christianity was born. We were here from the beginning. We are still here. And we will remain here until the end of times. 020
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 10/09/2026When political ideology puts on a theological robe, Christians should be careful. Not everything spoken in God’s name comes from God. 010
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I sometimes wish Western Christians would spend less time telling us what God promised about Palestine and more time listening to what Palestinians are living through. 120
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Religion should make us more human. If it teaches us to see others as less human, something has gone terribly wrong. الدين المفروض يخلّينا انصير اكثر إنسانية. بس إذا صرنا انشوف غيرنا كأنهم أقل منّا، معناته في إشي غلط بفهمنا للدين 050
Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Sometimes I wonder how we became so good at defending our theology and so bad at defending human dignity. أحيانا بسأل حالي: كيف صرنا شاطرين لهالدرجة بالدفاع عن الايمان، ومش شاطرين بالدفاع عن كرامة الإنسان؟ 051

Jack Nassar | جاك نصار @jacknassar.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Christianity loses something essential when we can talk about God’s love while remaining silent about human suffering. المسيحية بتفقد إشي أساسي منها لما نحكي عن محبة الله، وبنفس الوقت نسكت عن وجع الناس. 040
