Christians Have Been Duped by Zionists

February 5, 2015

Christian Zionism has led millions of so-called Christians
to support war rather than peace, and the merciless killings
of millions of people in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine.

What a horrendous perversion of the Gospel of Love! How can people who claim to follow Christ be so misled?! Because they have been fooled into believing the Bible teaches something it does not teach: Christian support of Israel. Israel is, in fact: antichrist, because Israel denies both the Father and the Son: "Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son." (1 John 2:22).

The 100 Year-Old Duping of American Evangelical Christianity - Christian Zionism



Walk into any Christian bookstore in America and you will see how virtually everyone who calls themselves a follower of Jesus Christ in this nation has been tricked into believing a false theology, which leads them to believe, erroneously, that the Bible commands them to support the Jewish nation of Israel.

The driving force behind this error was the 1909 Scofield Reference Bible, which was the first Bible printed by Oxford University Press that included theological reference notes that guide the reader as to how to "properly" understand, or interpret, the biblical text.

It's no coincidence that the rise of Zionism, that is: the impulse of the Jews to seek a homeland for themselves, began not long before the Scofield Reference Bible was published. In the late 1800's, England is where Zionism first found political support. England was already awash with the erroneous "Christian" doctrine of British-Israelism, wherein the British Christians were taught that they were one of the lost tribes of Israel; therefore they should support the Zionist Jews venture to create a Jewish state: Israel.

With the advent of World War I, England began the push to create a Zionist homeland for the Jews in Palestine. This served two functions: it would ensure safe passage through the Suez Canal and trade with India; and it would placate the Zionist Jews and the British Christians who, due to British-Israelism, had been fooled into thinking they should support Zionist Jews in obedience to God and the Bible.

Fast forward 100 years and we find that American Evangelical Christians have, long ago, been fooled into believing they should support Jewish Zionism, because they mistakenly believe the Bible teaches this, and that God will curse them and America if they/we don't. Thus we have never-ending support from the American Evangelical Christian Right for endless wars on behalf of Israel.

This duping of American Evangelical Christians is mostly due to the fact that the Scofield Reference Bible and its footnotes, which explains the biblical text in a way that convinces its unsuspecting readers to support Zionist Jews. Its complimentary theology: Dispensationalism, has been instrumental in influencing American Evangelical Christians to support Israel, because the theology of Dispensationalism has been pervasive throughout virtually every American Evangelical Bible school and theological seminary for the past 100 years.

DISPENSATIONALISM

This erroneous doctrine, Dispensationalism, has resulted in the Judaizing of American Evangelical Christianity and has been successful in converting Evangelical Christian Americans into Christian Zionists, who are not following the teachings of Jesus Christ, the New Testament, or traditional orthodox Christianity at all. In fact, these millions of well-meaning people have adopted a false theology, based upon a twisting of and a re-interpretation of the Scriptures and have become a part of America's largest and most influential non-Christian, even anti-Christian, cult: Judeo-Christianity.

"Judeo-Christianity is less than 200 years old. The Jewish Zionism movement has played the key part in assuring its growth. We see the result in the creation of a new "Christianity" which in its extreme form is known as Christian Zionism. It was first fed by Oxford University Press's Scofield Reference Bible published in New York in 1908, and updated several times. Bible editors, including Oxford, have failed to correct obvious changes in common usage of words, such as "Jew" and "Israel" that provide misleading, Zionist friendly inferences."

"Oxford sold a new 20th Century theology to evangelical seminaries. The Scofield usage has become a standard in most study or reference Bibles used by a wide range of evangelicals, and even penetrating into mainline church bible studies and broadcast media. These books are the subject of many articles by this author and others." (See: http://www.whtt.org/show/) Source: http://whtt.org/newwhtt/main.php?nid=3132

It should not come as a surprise to any Bible-believing Christian that false teachings and false teachers will use the Bible to convince well-meaning believers to believe a lie rather than the truth, because the Bible itself, through St. Paul, warns us of this danger:

"For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve." (1 Cor. 11:13-15).

Judaized Christians, or Christian Zionists, are fond of turning the discipline of Bible study on its head by allowing the Old Testament to interpret and to clarify the New Testament when, in fact, the proper method of Christian Bible study is to do the opposite: allow the New Testament to shed light on and interpret the Old Testament. Thus these "Christians", rather than following the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, which is found in the New Testament, will force the words of Christ and the Christian New Testament to comply with the Old Testament, especially regarding Israel.

Whereas Jesus himself cursed Israel and proclaimed its soon abandonment by God, in Matthew 23, especially verse 38, as well as its destruction at the hands of the Roman armies (see Luke 21:20) within the lifetimes of those who heard his words (see Matt. 24:34), Judaized Christians, or Christian Zionists will appeal to the teachings of the Old Testament, especially Genesis 12:3, in direct contradiction to the teachings of Jesus Christ found in the New Testament, and they will insist that all Christians must support and bless Israel in order to be faithful to God and the Bible. Yet nothing could be further from the truth.

This theological and hermeneutical error has led millions of so-called Christians to support war rather than peace, and the merciless killings of millions of people in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine. Rather than being peacemakers, as Christ commanded his followers to be (see Matt. 5: 9) these Christian Zionists have, instead, adopted the Old Testament principle of waging war upon the enemies of Israel, at America's expense (e.g., lives, broken bodies, and tax monies).

Those who claim to be Christians but who do not follow Christ in love lie and do not have the truth: "We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did." (1 John 2: 3-6).

First Comment from Magda:

Video discussing Islamic perspective through eschatology and end times observance of the Judeo-Christian alliance. This alliance is in fact supported and has been bred and by the Anti-Christ through Britain the first ruling state, America the second ruling state and now the coming age of the third ruling state Israel is bringing Pax Judaica.

  1. Where do you get it from that Israel denies "both the Father and the Son". There are first of all many non-religious Jews, which have nothing to do with the religious Jews who believe in the God of Abraham, who is the Divine Creator in Whom Jesus also believed and prayed to. I do agree there are lots of Christians in America who made Jesus into their god. That god is naturally an other god that the God of Jews, non-trinitarian Christians and Muslims. They only believe what is written in the Holy Scriptures that there is Only One God to be worshipped and of whom no graven images may be made. Lots of so called Christians do not follow the teachings of Christ Jesus and believe in three gods and pray to saints and bow in front of pictures, though that is all an abomination in the eyes of the Only One God, the Elohim Hashem Jehovah Who promised the Holy Land to His Chosen People, Israel.

    Christians should also look out to the fulfilment of God's promise to Abraham, but naturally cannot agree with what is going on at the moment in the worldly Israel.
