The left trots out these people every time they want to siphon votes.
Because the prophets had so many good things to say about the enemies of Israel.
This is where Sider resurfaced. Beware.
Ping!
“Gordon MacDonald, another signer, is a long-time evangelical author and pastor who was the second of Clinton’s three spiritual counselors.”
This is the guy who was carrying on a long term adulterous relationship while he was Pastor of a church, writing a book on his wife’s trust in him, was found out, went through the counselling wash, the para church rinse and was returned to the original church for the dry and retire cycle. A good choice for a Clinton advisor.
Genesis 12:1-3 is crystal clear on this.
Gen 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
Gen 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
This isn't an Evangelical perspective. It's God's. I wonder why that is so hard for the Left to see.
Liberal pastors: “urge evenhandedness between Jesus and Satan.”
Didn’t know that. So MacDonald was carrying on a long term affair and Jessie Jackson was busy fathering an out of wedlock child. I’m beginning to see why Clinton picked these guys. What about the third advisor?
“What about the third advisor?”
That was Campolo, the one seen laughing with Clinton at Brown’s funeral.
There is no reason why Israel cannot live next to the palestinians, if the palestinians draw down their arms, recognize Israel, renounce terrorism, and sit down at the table. However, Ahmadinejad and Hamas, and Hezbolla’s goals are NOT to create a palestinian state next to Israel. Their goals are to get a weak liberal Israeli PM like Olmert to agree to a palestinian state, where Arab countries will then help the terrorists destroy Israel, and a full scale war will develop.
Way back on March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview with Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here’s what he said:
“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.
For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to ALL of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.”
Ahmadinejad is trying to do this. The Jews will not let another Hitler take them over and put them under Sharia law. The Jews have been murdered and exiled by Muslims since 800 AD. They will NOT do it again.
That is official PLO policy embodied in Political Programme Adopted at the 12th Session of the Palestinian National Council, Cairo, June 9, 1974
The establishment of a platform (state) from which to launch attacks, unity with Jordan (violent is OK), massing of Arab troops in the new state, and the final attack. Abbas still mentions the phased plan in arabic speeches.
You got it, you got it! Great, keep it we will need it for the next election. Just watch out for the men in dark non-descript car on the corner.
“There has always been an evangelical left.”
Beware the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I’ve seen it posted that some believe that the Israel of today is not truly the Israel of the Bible. Any comments?
I’m a Catholic Zionist, so it’s not my position, but it was an interesting statement.
Tony is QUITE Campy, thank you very much!!!!!!!
BULL!
The Arabs didn't give much of a flying leap about the place until Israel came and made something of it in the last few decades. There wasn't anything to even support much of a population when the Jews got back to it. The promise land was left as an unwanted waste land.
I still maintain that most if not all of these so-called progressive “evangelicals” wouldn’t know the Gospel or sound Christian doctrine if they tripped over it. As you indicated, these wolves are just hijacking the term evangelical for their own purposes.
