The battle over whether America remains Judeo-Christian or becomes secular like Europe is what this, the Second American Civil War, is about.

"One is that the Christians who founded America saw themselves as heirs to the Old Testament, the Hebrew Bible, as much as to the New. And even more importantly, they strongly identified with the Jews."


Yes those Christians who founded America saw the Bible as a WHOLE book, not what most modern Christians are taught today.

I so appreciate this wise American Jew who loves our great country and understands the truth of the sorrows of the liberal left and the dangers of secular humanist government. The Lord Jesus Christ blesses the nations that bless the Jewish people and curses the nations that curse the Jewish people. Christians like myself realize that God channels the carnal blessings that we have enjoyed in American life through the Jewish people and that only can come if the people of the nation know that there is one God and one faith and one Holy Spirit baptism.
If the selfish liberal left has it's ignorant way, this nation will be plunged into a time not seen since the dark ages and Jews and Christians along with freedom loving conservative agnostics and religionists will suffer along with them; though our souls are saved with all them who come to God through the grace of God by faith alone in the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross of Cavalry and by his resurrection power. He alone arose from the dead on the third day by the power of God almighty after paying our sin debt for all believers in Him alone. 10. As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: 14. Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15. Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16. Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17. And the way of peace have they not known: 18. There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26. To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29. Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30. Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

Great article. Of course, as one would expect when people are involved, the identification with Israel has been taken to extremes:

1. Some groups have gone so far as to state that that they are, indeed, Israel (British Israelism and its very successful New World variety Mormonism). This is historically, archeologically, linguistically, anthropologically, etc., etc. nonsensical.

2. Some groups believe that God has replaced Israel with the Christian church which now stands in relation to God as Israel used to and is now, as the "new Israel," the object of all God's promises that were made to Israel starting with Abraham. This is largely the fault of relatively modern dispensationalism and comes from poor exegesis. This error was dealt with pretty effectively by Paul back in the first century in the letter to the Romans.

I saw him on Dennis Miller last night and was very impressed with him. Dennis almost talked to him exclusively, even though there were two other people on the 'Varsity Panel.'
