So Hagee could not maintain his position and went back to unsay what he had previously said without admitting his mistakes.
“I chose to use challenging language that I hoped would confront the body of Christ to consider events from the Jewish and historical perspective and therefore develop greater empathy for our Jewish friends.
Even in his "clarification," Hagee admits that he presented the events of Jesus' Messiahship sympathetically from the Jewish perspective, which is directly opposed to the Christian perspective.
“Over the centuries, Christians have been quick to condemn the Jews for failing to recognize Jesus as Messiah.
Hagee implies that there is something wrong about the Christian condemnation of Jews for failing to recognize Jesus as Messiah. Clearly Hagee sympathizes with rabbinical unbelief against the St. Peter's Pentecostal message in Acts 2.
These ideas, in turn, opened the door to a vicious Christian anti-Semitism that led to the Crusades, the Inquisition and countless pogroms.
Ahh... the old scare tactic of accusing "anti-Semitism" against anyone who accepts the orthodox tenets of Christianity on the condemnation of unbelievers. Thank you for confirming everything in my previous posts to illustrate the dangers of "Christian" Zionism.
Christian condemnation of Jews? Condemnation of Jews? And then you use Acts 2 to somehow justify condemning Jews? You have got to be kidding me. If you use that logic you would condemn God himself for sending Jesus to die. The one line in Acts 2 simply points out that they denied Christ but if you read the rest of that chapter they were also all saved. You need to seriously re-examine your understanding of Scripture. Every person who does not take Jesus to be there Savior is denying Christ. To single out Jews, who are still the chosen people of God, is ludicrous.
Obviously you have fallen for the ADL position that Hagee supports their claim when anyone with an open mind understands the position Hagee holds. I’m not a total supporter of Hagee (I just don’t know enough of what he says.) but on this issue he certainly has it right. The Jews did in fact reject Jesus but it is very, very dangerous to “come against my people Israel” and if you don’t understand that part I would suggest you do some serious study.
>>Thank you for confirming everything in my previous posts to illustrate the dangers of "Christian" Zionism.<< It’s becoming more obvious to me that you are either Preterist or certainly lean in that direction. If that is your point of view I would suggest you pray about it and look at alternative views.
