And the Main Enemy of Christianity Is...

Islam?

Well, let's see. Islamic countries do often persecute Christians. You all remember that guy in Afghanistan who, after converting to Christianity, was put on trial by some Sharia Law court there and was given the punishment of being beheaded, a favorite Muslim punishment, unless he repudiated Christ as the Son of God and the only means to salvation. Well, the guy refused to repudiate Christ, but for some reason was not beheaded. Angels?

Now Islam IS an enemy of Christianity. Thing is, it is NOT an enemy of Christ Himself...though Islam does not consider Christ the Son of God, it does revere Christ as a Teacher and Prophet. Therefore, it is NOT the main enemy of Christianity, not yet, anyway.

There are those that say the Koran teaches that followers of Muhammed ought to lie to "infidels." Someone said that to me just the other day. There was no point in me telling him, "Sounds like the Talmud telling Jews to lie to the gentiles." There was no point because there is no point in reasoning with someone who thinks Israel can do no wrong--and of course this person is a Christian. A Christian Zionist, that is. Arguing with him would just make him mad, like the time I told him that I would support a Palestinian Christian over an Israeli Jew any day. He got man, and, you guessed it, accused me of "anti-semitism." To which I responded, "I grew up with Jews and some of my best friends were Jews, so don't you ever call me anti-semitic again!" This person, as far as I know, has NEVER had Jewish friends!

And, speaking of Jews...

Are Jews the main enemy of Christianity?

If we are talking about Talmud-believing Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel (and some in the US) who spit on Christians every time they see them, or settler Nazis who vandalize Palestinian Christian churches, or rabbis who persecute Jewish Messianic believers like Zvi Kalisher, then the answer may be "yes."

Yet, the vast majority of Jews are NOT Talmudic believers or Kabbalists. The majority of Jew sin Israel and especially in the US and Europe are either reform Jews or secular Jews and could care less about who's a Christian and who isn't. They really don't care much about Christ, either. Thus, taken as a whole, Jews are not the main enemy of Christians.

Hindus? Hardly. Buddhists? Baloney. Scientologists? In Tom Cruise's dreams! Not atheists, because they are enemies to Jews, Muslims and any other religion as well, or New Agers, who change what they believe in every day for the heck of it so they are enemies to everyone and no one.

Nope. The main enemy to Christianity is (besides Satan)...the envelope please...

Christian Zionism!

Why? Number one, Christian Zionists of the John Hagee school deny that salvation comes only through Christ when they say the Jews don't need to believe in Christ to be saved; God has a "dual covenant" with the Jews. By making a claim like this, Hagee essentially denies that Christ will save all nations, which is in the Bible, which is the inspired Word of God, and thus Hagee is saying the Bible is only true some of the time, and that God is a liar. This makes Hagee and his "dual covenant" followers enemies of Christianity.

Not all Christian Zionists follow Hagee, however. Most CZs are not followers of Hagee and say the Jews, too, must accept Christ to be saved. On the other hand, while they say Jews must accept Christ as their Savior, they still continue to claim that--even though the Jews must accept Christ--the Jews, regardless of whether they accept Christ, are still, after all the times God had rebuked and punished the Jews and basically cut them off for 400 years (the 400 years between the prophet Malachi and the time of Christ), the Jews are still "God's Chosen People." Thus, without actually saying it, they are saying that there really is a "dual covenant" after all. They want their cake and to eat it too. They are afraid to go against the Word of God in the open, so they make up this BS that the Jews are God's Chosen People but that's not enough, they still have to accept Christ!

Look. You are either God's Chosen, or you aren't! If there is a dual covenant, and the Jews are chosen under one covenant while Christians are chosen under another covenant--but the Bible says ALL nations will know Christ under a NEW covenant and that Christ was the FULFILLMENT of the Law of Moses, doesn't that make the old covenant with the Jews FULFILLED? That is, it is finished? That is, no longer in effect? And doesn't that make a "dual covenant" a moot point?

So then, who is God's Chosen People now? Christians, followers of Christ, and this includes Jews IF they are Jewish believers! Messianic Jews, that is, followers of Yeshua HaMessiach (aka Jesus Christ).

Oh, and BTW: Hagee says that Jews who follow Christ will NOT inherit the promise, because Jews are not "allowed" to follow Christ!

But it isn't just that they violate the Word of God by their doctrines. Just as bad is that they violate the teachings of Christ by their words and their actions.

Christ said: Love your enemies. CZs say: Love your enemies as long as they aren't Muslims, "anti-semites" who hate Israel (it is against their code to criticize Israel even if Isreal deserves criticism, misinterpreting Genesis 12:3 and Genesis 27:24), or liberals.

Christ said: Blessed are the poor in spirit. CZs say blessed are the poor in spirit as long as they are rich in money.

Christ called the Pharisees (who later would give rise to the Talmud through their unwritten commentaries that bastardized the Torah, called the Mishna), "the synagogue of Satan" and and said to them, "you are of your father, the devil."

Christian Zionists, on the other hand, ARE today's version of the Pharisees. They like the "letter" of Christ's laws but hate the spirit of them. They are Pharisees because more than anything else they seek political power, that is, they violate Christ's dictate: "be in the world but not of the world." They are using the Republican Party as their political platform through alliances between neo-conservative Republicans and "Focus on the Family" and "Moral Majority-Christian Coalition" groups. They seek out the rich and powerful and hoodwink their middle class and working class followers, cajoling those who can't tithe hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars a year into doing their dirty work, working on their off time in trying to get more money for their CZ megachurches or sending money to make more "settlements" in Palestinian areas in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. I wouldn't be surprised if they treated their "non-wealthy" followers like Scientologists treat their non-celebrity followers.

And speaking of Palestinians...

Christian Zionists have NO HEART, NO MERCY, and NO SYMPATHY for their Palestinian brothers and sisters in Christ. They want all Palestinian Christians out of the West Bank and East Jerusalem pronto. I used to think it was because Palestinian Christians tended to be Eastern Orthodox or Catholic Christians. But that is not the case. In fact I have recently heard there are even some Palestinian Christians who are Christian Zionists who of course love Israel! No, it doesn't matter what type of Christian you are; Christian Zionists don't give a crap about you and don't care if you or your children starve, get killed by the IDF, or die from lack of water because Israel won't let you have water (which is what they are doing in Gaza: there are still about 2 thousand Christians left in Gaza) If you are Palestinian, you are the devil to them.

But of course the Body of Christ knows this, but here is something maybe they don't know: Christian Zionists, for all their love of Israel, HATE THE JEWS AS WELL!

There they are at their "Christians United for Israel" conference waving Israeli flags and doing the Hava Negila dance and all, and kissing rabbis and that nonsense, but in reality they hate the Jews so much that they want two-thirds of them slaughtered so that Christ will return. Well, isn't that something! And they want this to happen even though they believe they'll be "raptured" out of there before all this happens!

Which leads me to the latest nonsense from Arab Christian Zionist (that most rare of breeds!) Joseph Farah of Zionist..er, WorldNetDaily, who claims--without actually been accused of what he claims by the person he claims is making the accusation--that the ADL and Abe Foxman have called Farah (and others) "enemies" of the Jews. Farah claims that because he went to tea parties and is a "birther," the ADL considers him their "enemy."

No, Joe. Maybe ADL claims you are an enemy because you want all the Jews to settle in Israel in order for two-thirds of them to be slaughtered. Maybe that is why Foxman considers you an enemy despite your "love" for Israel! Because Foxman is right: you are an enemy to the Jews!

And, because you hate Palestinians who you consider all to be terrorists, even the Christian ones, you violate another dictate of Christ: whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you do unto me.

Like the rest of your Christian Zionist buddies.

Repudiating Idols, Part 1

It is all over the Word of God: we believers must repudiate idols.

What is an idol? It is anything in the mind or heart, soul or strength that takes the place of God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The first of the "two great commandments" that Christ gave us (with the second being, "Love your neighbor as yourself") was this: Love the Lord God with your whole heart, soul, mind, and strength." And anything that prevents God taking first, second, and third place and more in our minds, hearts, and being such that it becomes a center of life and takes us away from God as well as being with the family is an idol.

Idols in the Old Testament included wooden figures, "the golden calf," engravings and the like, violating the Second Commandment, "Thou shalt not worship graven images."

The New Testament refers to not just graven images that could be openly worshiped but also "images" "engraved" on our hearts and minds.

An idol thus can be someone like Michael Jackson, or political leaders, or philosophers, or authors, or musicians, or family members, even, or organizations, like the military, or sports franchises.

Many folks are "fans" of sports teams, but when the game is over they go back to doing the usual things that have nothing to do with that team, so that for a few hours on Sunday or during the week they care about if their team wins or loses. They are happy if the team wins and miffed if the team loses, but after a short time, they forget about it.

But then you have folks who can think of nothing but the team, being ecstatic if they win but upset and angry if they lose, so much so that they can't sleep the night before the game (especially football fans, since only about twelve games in college and sixteen in pro football are played any season, making the games more important), and so much so that they can't sleep the night the game is over because they are too excited still or too depressed.

And I was one of these folks. Idolizing this team has in fact kept me from posting here. It is an NFL team. I won't mention the team so I will make up the name. It is a big city team (as most are), so I will call this team, in place of the actual team I won't mention since it is not important, the "Big City Bulldogs." I have idolized this team for nearly forty years, off and on. Over the last several years they had become a bad team, but last year they made the NFL playoffs and I was again ecstatic about this team and in the off-season this spring and summer followed their every move, forgetting about this blog and putting God, and family even, not in first place or even second or third. This team this year is not doing quite as well as last year but they aren't doing badly either, so it is not like I am giving up this team because they are losing a bunch again. In fact I have repudiated this team precisely because they can still make the playoffs and I do not want to get involved in that again. Better to do it when the team is maybe not a sure thing to make the playoffs, than to do it when the team is a serious contender, which would make it very hard to do for a serious fanatic.

I simply could not just say it is no big deal, I will ignore them until the playoffs. No, because I have been too fanatical in the past and recently. So, I have had to totally, in private with my Lord and Savior, and also publicly over the Internet, repudiate being a fan of this team. I have skirted this issue the last several weeks and can no longer just gloss over it. I have proclaimed my giving up this team, and following NFL football, period. I can never "take another drink," that is, watch another football game in earnest, again, as an alcoholic can never take another drink of alcohol again.

And no matter how often Satan or his minions tempt me again with following football, I must repudiate him and repudiate football and this team. It is too bad it had to come to that, but it has to come to that.

God has work to do with using me, and He ain't gonna use me if my mind and heart and soul and strength is given over to some football team which has done little to nothing for me lately, except "bragging rites."

In the next post and others, I will relate what I did and how I did it, with the strength of the Lord to guide me, since I didn't do it on my own.

More Hate from the Folks Who Brought You the New "Hate Crime" Bill

Sanhedrin 59a

To communicate anything to a Goy about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if the Goyim knew what we teach about them, they would kill us openly.


Libbre David 37

A Jew should and must make a false oath when the Goyim asks if our books contain anything against them.



Tosefta, Tractate Erubin VIII

When a Jew has a Gentile in his clutches, another Jew may go to the same Gentile, lend him money and in turn deceive him, so that the Gentile shall be ruined. For the property of a Gentile, according to our law, belongs to no one, and the first Jew that passes has full right to seize it.


Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 156

If it can be proven that someone has given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth.


Choschen Hamm 388, 15

Happy will be the lost of Israel, whom the Holy One, blessed be He, has chosen from amongst the Goyim, of whom the Scriptures say: "Their work is but vanity, it is an illusion at which we must laugh; they will all perish when God visits them in His wrath." At the moment when the Holy One, blessed be He, will exterminate all the Goyim of the world, Israel alone will subsist, even as it is written: "The Lord alone will appear great on that day!...


Zohar, Vayshlah 177b

That the Jewish nation is the only nation selected by God, while all the remaining ones are contemptible and hateful.

That all property of other nations belongs to the Jewish nation, which consequently is entitled to seize upon it without any scruples. An orthodox Jew is not bound to observe principles of morality towards people of other tribes. He may act contrary to morality, if profitable to himself or to Jews in general.

A Jew may rob a Goy, he may cheat him over a bill, which should not be perceived by him, otherwise the name of God would become dishonored.



Midrasch Talpioth, p. 225-L

Everything a Jew needs for his church ritual no goy is permitted to manufacture, but only a Jew, because this must be manufactured by human beings and the Jew is not permitted to consider the goyim as human beings.

Schulchan Oruch, Orach Chaim 14, 20, 32, 33, 39

A Jew may do to a non-Jewess what he can do. He may treat her as he treats a piece of meat.

Hadarine, 20, B; Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 348

A Jew may violate but not marry a non-Jewish girl.

Gad. Shas. 2:2

A boy-goy after nine years and one day old, and a girl after three years and one day old, are considered filthy.


My comment:


And these are the same folks who (just as they want to annihilate Palestinian Christians and Messianic Christ-Believing Jews...don't believe me, Israeli Christian and Evangelist Zvi Kalisher can attest to that!) want to destroy Christianity in this country. Not themselves...they have "Christian" Zionists like John Hagee to be their lap dog.

Guys, THIS is the reason I keep on posting these things of the Talmud believers and "Noahide Law" practitioners. Anti-Christ!
