I'm still in search of a contemporary Francis Schaeffer. D. James Kennedy wasn't him, but he made his mark

How ironic. Schaeffer would have choked at the anti-Semitic tone of some of Kennedy's ministry. Knox Seminary is virulently outspoken against Israel, and supports "land for peace" and rewarding terrorists.

I have listened to Dr. Kennedy for at least 25 years and never heard one iota of anti-semitic words coming out of his mouth or in any of his sermons.

Dr. Schaeffer and Dr. Kennedy are no doubt now together in Heaven in the midst of quite scholarly discourses. Both rejoicing in the reality of the heaven they believed in.

Why does it seem people like you and some others here can't wait to jump on an obit thread like this & smear a good, Godly man as soon as he passes?

You throw out hurtful words that have no foundation...
..you don't reference your opinons to anything factual...

..yet you hurry to vilify a man on the day of his passing.

I feel sorry for you...

It is true that Schaeffer probably would not have taken hatred against the Jewish people lightly.

Drs. Kennedy, Sproul, et al, have never struck me as being genuine anti-Semites. Far-left secular scholars such as Robert Funk and J.D. Crossan consider the gospels of Matthew and John to be "anti-Semitic." Fringe elements of the Christian Zionist movement have attacked Hank Hanegraff and others for their willingness to accept a two-state solution in Israel.

Forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical when the label "anti-Semitic" is thrown out. I do think that Schaeffer would choke at the pomposity, intellectual cowardice, and outright materialism found in many of our larger church bodies today.
