Marx's parents made him a Christian--not me. And his rejection of "absolute truth" is common among most in most sects, churches that are headed toward trying to destroy Israel again. Here are only a very few.

world council of churches (WCC)
church & ecumenical relations
http://www.wcc-coe.org/wcc/what/ecumenical/index-e.html
"Among those churches which are not members of the WCC, the most notable is the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). Since 1965 a Joint Working Group (JWG), co-sponsored by the WCC and the RCC, has met regularly to discuss issues of common interest and promote cooperation. The group meets annually. One of the church and ecumenical relations staff members serves as co-secretary for the JWG and helps to coordinate contact between the Council and the dicasteries of the Vatican through the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. [And] . . . Though the Roman Catholic Church is not a member of the WCC, it is a full member of the Faith & Order Commission. The RCC also serves the team on Mission & Evangelism in a consultative capacity."

And Coulter has been giving speeches at mega-churches, BTW (see interview transcript)--another thing that drove me to study the early history of the religion.

If you are arguing that Christianity seeks to oppose Israel, then please show evidence from the Christian Bible.

On the other hand if your only "evidence" is the opinions of some set of folks who claim to be Christians, I could easily construct a similarly ridiculous case that Judaism opposed Israel. Are there not many who claim to be Jews and yet express hostility toward the state of Israel?

Both arguments would be equally fallacious. Neither Christianity nor Judaism opposes Israel, period, end of story.

None of the churches you listed follow the teachings of Christ. What is your point?
