Phony, ignorant Christians
WorldNetDaily ^ | January 25, 2008 | Joseph Farah

Posted on 01/27/2008 5:53:09 AM PST by Presbyterian Reporter

Paul warned us about times like this and the way people – including those claiming to be professing Christians – would act. I strongly believe Paul had in mind the kind of people who run major Protestant denominations like the United Methodist Church.

Today, at an event in Fort Worth, Texas, leaders of the denomination, which boasts membership by President Bush and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, will consider divesting from all companies that do business with Israel.

To say that even considering such an action is hateful, unbiblical, anti-Christian and evil would be an understatement.

It's not even understandable except in the context of the kind of morally blind apostasy described by Paul.

The problem with these people is not that they don't understand the Middle East. It is simply that they are no longer able to tell right from wrong. They are no longer able to distinguish between good and evil. They are no longer able to see the difference between freedom and tyranny. They are no longer able to judge between criminal and victim.

They have, in short, completely lost their moral bearings.

This is no longer a church; it is an organization of misguided political activism. This is no longer a house of God; it is a mad house. This is no longer part of the bride of Christ; it is a whore to the world.

I know these are tough words, for which I am sure to be criticized by some of my Christian friends.

For those pastors leading Methodist churches who understand where your denomination is heading, it's time to pack up and divest yourself of links to the denomination.

It's separation time.

“Perhaps all subsequent words are superfluous.”

Now there’s an understatement, however only a few will acknowledge it.

Although I’d have to give a nod to the Ten Commandments.

And of those, only one is critical.

"...you CAN'T go through one normal day without "judging" someone".

It's a pretty safe bet that I am not perfect.

How do you read
John 7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance,
but judge with righteous judgment.

I will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. It really is that simple.

Yes. Israel are the believers in Christ, not a country.

YHvH's larger plan of salvation, where His People are blinded for a time,
in order to bring His salvation to the gentile nations.
NAsbU Romans 11:15 For if their ( His Chosen People ) rejection is the reconciliation of the world,
what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

And their ultimate salvation after a period of blindness is guaranteed by YHvH's covenant :
NAsbU Romans 11:25 For I do not want you, brethren,
to be uninformed of this mystery--
so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--
that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until
the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written
(in Isaiah 59),
"THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION,
HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."

27 "THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS."

28 From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake,
but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers;

29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Praise Elohim !

I just found 6 - 8 Messianic believers in a small town of 2500 people with 40 churches, 100 miles from a large city.

I believe that already happened long ago, before 70 AD.

Who was he talking to?

He was quoting Psalm 22.

Some Christians need to be reminded that the God they worship IS JEWISH.
