Disciples of Christ to Israel: Drop dead

Another mainline protestant organization that supports terror.

[jjmcgo]

Signs of rising Protestant anti-Semitism?

You got that right. The upper echelon leadership of most protestant denominations are leaning farther and farther to the left, and a lot of the parishoners of those churches have no idea what their leadership stands for.

[ncountylee]

Israel...just go la la la la la la la. I know it's childish but at least you won't hear these morons.

[Mr. Mojo]

according to the resolution, the existence of a physical barrier is creating a psychological barrier to true peace, more "visually and spiritually devastating than abstract facts can convey."

Those "abstract facts" sure annoy the Left, don't they?

[the_Watchman]

It's almost understandable when liberals don't recognize "evil". However, when "church" members don't recognize it, something is truly amiss.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Say what? The leadership in most Protestant churches isn't leaning left. They fell flat on the floor and began to dig into the earth decades ago. Only the parishioners left in their dead churches don't know.

[Artemis Webb]

"...the General Assembly of the Disciples of Christ, a mainline Protestant denomination"

If they are so mainline how come I've never heard of them?

[conservative_crusader]

I've got to say: I've never once heard of this denomination. Disciples of Christ was it? I've never heard of it.

I think you can rest assured that most Christian organizations are not anti-semetic, and that the majority of people in Christian organizations - even those that have anti-semitic leaders - will remain in favor of Israel.

Many of those leaders are far from "flat on the floor." They are very activist leftists. Check out the web site for the National Council of Churches.

Telling a Protestant Christian to "Blow You" is a bit unkempt. It is amazing you have survived this long on FR.

Reported.

[A CA Guy]

It's deserving Windsong, anyone suggesting the Jews should subject themselves to terrorism without protection, should IMO all have their families die first rather than volunteer these Jews to die because they don't like Jewish self preservation or worse yet..WALLS.

I have NO respect for this cult branch of the Protestant Church at all.

[A CA Guy]

"Most eloquently, dissenting member Ken Britton of Cloverdale, Indiana, said: "For decades Israel offered land for peace - and peace hasn?t happened. If we vote for this, we are telling Israel that we don?t care about you and we don't care about terrorism, and that you have no right to exist."

This is the only normal view in the article.

[NRA2BFree]

Keep in mind that there are a LOT of so called "Christian" churches/groups who are NOT really Christians. They are big social clubs, who are basically clueless about the Bible, and what Jesus would really do. IMO, they are cults. The MSM creates a lot of these problems because they distort the truth about what's really going on with the situation over there. They ALWAYS make the Israelis look like the aggressors.

[AnOldCowhand]

If they are so mainline how come I've never heard of them?

Exactly. I find it very telling that the one line blurb that you get if you Google them, states that they are a "mainline" denomination. Who are they trying to convince? The truth is that they are just another wishy-washy, two-bit liberal/ecumenical group, with no real, uncompromisable, core beliefs, trying to make the rest of us believe otherwise.

In terms of membership, they are a relatively small group. They claim 800,000 members while the Southern Baptists claim 16 million, the Presbyterian Church USA claims 2.4 million and the Assemblies of God claim 1.6 million (to name a few). So the bottom line is - Who really cares what they think?

Disciples of Christ

[Alexander Rubin]

I second that. Preach the faith, not the politics. G-d knows, people today have too little of the former and far too much of the latter.

[Gamecock]

the Presbyterian Church USA claims 2.4 million

The PCUSA is also anti-Isreal. I left them for the Presbyterian Church in America 10 years ago now, it is refreshing to be in a church that teaches Scripture and stays away from social activism.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

To the General Assembly of the Disciples of Christ ?
Haven't you learned anything from the Bible and Old Testament ?
YOUR CURSED by God himself: READ GENESIS 12 verses 1 - 3

"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:
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"(Genesis 12:1 & 2):

"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"(Genesis 12:3). )

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Long live ISRAEL !!
God Bless ISRAEL !!
