To Anti-Semitic Christians, Israel is an Usurper
Israel National News ^ | 1/05/2015 | Giulio Meotti

The Presbyterian Church USA is considering banning the word “Israel” from its prayers. That anti-Semitic resolution was meant to “distinguish between the biblical terms that refer to the ancient land of Israel and the modern political State of Israel".

It has happened before. In his war against the Jews, Adolf Hitler instructed Christian theologians to rewrite the Bible, in a bid to remove all mention of the Jews. Their barbaric spirit is living on in the Palestinolatry of these liberal Christians...

A heretical teaching called Replacement theology (Supersessionism) has made inroads into the evangelical church recently. It essentially teaches that the church has replaced Israel in God’s plan. Adherents of replacement theology believe the Jews are no longer God’s chosen people, and God does not have specific future plans for the nation of Israel. All the different views of the relationship between the church and Israel can be divided into two camps: either the church is a continuation of Israel (replacement/covenant theology), or the church is completely different and distinct from Israel (dispensationalism/premillennialism).

Replacement theology teaches that the church is the replacement for Israel and that the many promises made to Israel in the Bible are fulfilled in the Christian church, not in Israel. So, the prophecies in Scripture concerning the blessing and restoration of Israel to the Promised Land are “spiritualized” or “allegorized” into promises of God's blessing for the church. Major problems exist with this view, such as the continuing existence of the Jewish people throughout the centuries and especially with the revival of the modern state of Israel. If Israel has been condemned by God, and there is no future for the Jewish nation, how do we explain the supernatural survival of the Jewish people over the past 2000 years despite the many attempts to destroy them? How do we explain why and how Israel reappeared as a nation in the 20th century after not existing for 1900 years?

The view that Israel and the church are different is clearly taught in the New Testament. Biblically speaking, the church is completely different and distinct from Israel, and the two are never to be confused or used interchangeably. We are taught from Scripture that the church is an entirely new creation that came into being on the day of Pentecost and will continue until it is taken to heaven at the rapture (Ephesians 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). The church has no relationship to the curses and blessings for Israel. The covenants, promises, and warnings are valid only for Israel. Israel has been temporarily set aside in God's program during these past 2000 years of dispersion.

After the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), God will restore Israel as the primary focus of His plan and the Jews will be saved (Hosea 1, Zechariah 12, Romans 11, etc)!

God gave Israel to the Jews for all time. They might as well ban Jesus from Christianity if they’re going to ban Israel.

Perhaps a proponent of Supersessionism can tell me when God announced this?

Has a new book been added to the Bible recently?

Evidently, the word never got out to some people. Very insular.

” They might as well ban Jesus from Christianity if they’re going to ban Israel.”

The Left, satanists, have taken the media, education, both political parties, upper military leadership, half the public and soon the churches (churches run by men). What’s left?

As a Christian I believe God’s Spirit, as just the earnest of my inheritance by His Grace, dwells in my feeble human spirit. As such there is no way that His Spirit would allow a true Christian to deny Israel.

From the PLO to Hamas, from Hanan Ashrawi to Sheikh Yassin, Arab rejectionists have been able to present the Palestinian Arabs as “the true descendants” of the biblical Israelites because of this Christian rewriting of history.

Bullcrap! As if the Muzzies hate Jews because of what a few Christians believe. Has this guy never heard of Islam?

God has given that little land to the Jews. But of course, the IslamoNAZI-infested PCUSA ruling chique knows that.
SO, pointing out the Biblical mandates does no good with PCUSA. PCUSA is an anti-Bible, anti-God ‘church’ that, if it were at least honest, would disband or join up with the “Church of Satan” which it so closely imitates anyway.

We’ve known very good people who’ve tried to reform and purge the PCUSA, from within..and from without ... and who’ve gotten almost nowhere at all ...

In case anyone’s interested, the anti-Christian attitudes became manifest when a couple of apparent IslamoNazi agents infiltrated the PCUSA hierarchy some years ago. Many local congregations HAVE broken away from PCUSA, joining Presbyterian denominations that are still Christian in faith and outlook. That’s about as good as the de-infestation efforts seem to have be able to achieve — the Satanic rot obviously remains well entrenched in the PCUSA hierarchy.

I believe the Presbyterian-USA stopped being a Christian church awhile ago. More of a social gathering place for leftists who like the label of 'Christian' - but don't want Jesus Christ as LORD (OK as Saviour - just not LORD).

Isaiah 4:1 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

The Free Presbyterian, PCA, and Orthodox Presbyterian churches are still sound.

The Presbyterian Church, USA is becoming ;like the Unitarian-Universalist Church, a left-wing social organization which has little to do with religion in any traditional sense.

That is correct. The original church was Jewish.

Antisemetic Christian is an oxymoron.
