In many ways, the second half of the 20th century was a high point for Jewish-Christian relations.
Today, however, the anti-Israel politics of certain powerful Christian bodies hampers interfaith relations and threatens to breathe new life into medieval doctrine that demonized Jews for hundreds of years.
In 2007, the World Council of Churches, an umbrella organization of mostly liberal Protestants...
The Amman Call also labeled the barrier Israel has built to keep out Palestinian suicide bombers—which has effectively saved untold Jewish, Muslim and Christian lives—a "grave breach of international law" that must be removed.
In 2008, the World Council of Churches convened a group of Protestant and Catholic theologians to review the underpinnings of Christian attitudes toward Israel. (No Jews were invited.) ...
The Kairos document also describes the Jewish connection to Israel only in terms of the Holocaust, denying 3,000 years of Jewish domicile. "Our presence in this land, as Christian and Muslim Palestinians, is not accidental but rather deeply rooted in the history and geography of this land," it states.
Most importantly, these Palestinian church leaders declared that there must not be a Jewish state because any religious state is inherently racist.
The Kairos document quickly won accolades from religious groups including from the Presbyterian Church (USA),
...was the first mainline American Protestant group to call for divestment from Israel.
This past February, its Middle East Study Committee announced that it would urge the U.S. government to "employ the strategic use of influence and the withholding of financial and military aid" from Israel. While conceding Israel's right to exist,...
The Simon Wiesenthal Center will soon meet with the president of the World Council of Churches to urge an end to its campaign against Israel and the Jewish people. Like anti-Israel diplomatic and academic campaigns,...

Good luck; as she cannot post anything about the supposed UNTRUEness of 1830 PRESBYTERIANism, either.
This is the liberal Presbyterians not us conservatives!
Okaaay, seems I’ve happened onto a war.....backing out of the room silently and running like the wind....
Some just don’t like Resty humor and antidote to pull the anti’s leg !:)
Gosh they (anti’s) are such a big distraction I must get on with the rest of my day…:)
If Hier and Cooper aren't going to try to make Noachides of chr*stians, then what business is it of theirs what churches teach?
People like Hier and Cooper wouldn't dream of "proselyitizng" because "unlike certain other religions" they believe everyone is fine and acceptable to G-d "just as they are." But that doesn't keep them from dictating changes to other religions' internal theology. Why do they think that is better? It's a million times worse!
The Wiesenthal Center is nothing but a nest of PC, multicultural, pro-Israel libs. Granted, we should be thankful for whatever pro-Israel libs there are left, but they're still disgusting hypocrites.
“And there was a war in heaven...”
Rev. 12: 7
But, since MORMONs do NOT believe the BIBLE:
Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind,
but fear your God. I am the Lord.
Leviticus 19:14
Liberal Protestants are engaging in historical revisionism concerning Jews and the Holy Land..Article
So by reading the verses below it appears that the world council of churches are one of the problems that the people who are preaching the real gospel are having to deal with.
It appears to me the big churches are loved by most nations, only the Jews are hated by all nations.
I am not anti Church but just anti religion and want to know the truth.
Mathew 24
9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.
10
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
I think any one has to admit that the Gospel has been preached to all the world, not necessarily because of the big organized religion, but partly that, and partly in spite of it.
Genesis 12:1 to 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:
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
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 .
Abraham is still the father of Israel and Israel is still where it always was.
That is another falsehood of course the LDS believe in the Bible how do you think I was able to discern that the Book of Mormon was True.
Because I was witness by power of the Holy Ghost in many passages of the Bible as the spirit of the Lord also witness to me that the Book of Mormon is true.
And this coming from a poster who’s religion believes -
The lost tribes reside within the earth
Their members can trace their heritage to Jews
Believe that the Amerindians are all descendants of Jews who arrived in the americas around 500BC
Who claim the Aaronic priesthood without being descendants of Aaron/Levi.
Thanks for revealing and sharing your deck of canards!
Believe the bible is true - no need for a bom
bom has some hundreds of verses plagiarized from the bible (as well as Shakespeare)
bom is fraud raised to the 10th power.
more from that deck of canards...
Use of the term "replacement theology" is a form of historical revisionism along theological lines.
Or this: “Millions to Die in Future Holocaust”
The purge of Israel in their time of trouble is described by Zechariah in these words: “And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith Jehovah, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third Part 1nto the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried” (Zechariah 13:8, 9). According to Zechariah’s prophecy, two thirds of the children of Israel in the land will perish, but the one third that are left will be refined and be awaiting the deliverance of God at the second coming of Christ which is described in the next chapter of Zechariah. (John F. Walvoord, Israel in Prophecy (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan/Academie, [1962] 1988) 108.)
