PATHEOS – Growing up conservative Evangelical, we loved Israel as much as we loved America– probably even more. And why not, right? We truly believed that among the world’s nations, God actually has a favorite– and that he will curse anyone who doesn’t blindly support his team (…)
As an adult at seminary studying theology and international culture, I finally broke free from the confirmation bias that had caused me to support Israel and ignore Palestinian suffering. As such, I now see the Israel and Palestinian conflict in a completely different light– one where myChristian faith itself dictates that I cannot stand with Israel and still be faithful to Jesus.CONTINUE READING
5 thoughts on “5 Reasons Why I’m A Christian Who Stopped Supporting Israel”
Christian evangelicals make me want to vomit. At least half my family are just such idiots.
Saul-Paul was a snake
Romans 11:13 – God has appointed me as apostle to the gentiles.
Matthew 10:5 – Go not into the way of the gentiles.
Matthew 10:6 – But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Romans 11:16 – And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendents will also be holy.
John 8:39 – They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father.
John 8:44 – Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Serve? Obey? No thanks. Servants know not what their master doeth. Do as the, so-called, authorities tell you? No thanks. Pay ye tribute? No thanks. (KJV) Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers? No thanks. (CEB) Every person should place themselves under the authority of the government? No thanks. (NLT) Everyone MUST submit to governing authorities. No thanks. (NIV) Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which god has established. According to who? Would like to meet the god that wrote those words. Saul-Paul was a snake. Saul-Paul used Christ for personal gain just as all, so-called, Christian churches do. One Shepherd. One light. One gate. One key. Christ (freedom) was an anarchist. My brother. No rulers, no servants. No masters, no slaves. People helping all people, not certain people. No fiat-money, no usury. No mercantile, no famine. No supremacy, no wars. With him, not through him.
evangelicals have NEVER been faithful to jesus, it is practically a contradiction in terms.
the whole idea of protestantism is inimical to jesus, because they abandoned new testament in favor of the old one, the torah.
i guess they protest against jesus.
also, the notion of a New testament as opposed to “Old” one is also full of jew mindshit, because it implies the new one as being an addon or clarification of the old one, a smooth continuation or growth, like new leaves on an old branch.
Nothing could be further from truth: the gospels are in stark, polar contrast to torah, in the most fundamental, existential sense, because they represent God’s answer to G-d, the Devil, the absolute and universal morality against perverted, restricted morality that specifically violates the rights of humanity in favor of parasitical advantage to jew, the eternal liberty of spirit, free will and individual responsibility – the one’s personal karma, against the communal contract to temporal pleasures of the Devil’s bargain in return to eternal bondage and absolute, unquestioning obedience to G-d as espoused by torah – really, this is what torah is all about, its central message being to obey and fear the Lord g-d, the euphemism for Satan – if you don’t believe me, forget the nomenclature and superimpose the morality of one against the other and show me the difference because there is none – none!
somewhere in the past, some infiltrator into christianity managed to pull off the colossal swindle, whereby the ministry of jesus is described as an extension of halachic thought, called him rabbi and bullshit like that.
He knew the torah inside out in order to effectively argue against it, not to preach it.
Nobody accuses elizabeth dilling or michael hoffman of being rabbis because they know their talmud, in order to fight an enemy, one must understand it.
