A question for super zionist Christians?

Question

I love Israel and the Jewish people. But there is a phenomenon in the Christian community that needs addressing. It is called 'Jew worship'. I'm referring to individuals like John Hagee who says that Jesus NEVER refers to anyone other than the Jewish people as His brothers. And saying things like our salvation is linked to how well we treated Israel and the Jewish people. And saying that Jews are the apple of God's eye (implying that Gentiles are not, even Gentile believers) What gives? Where in the Bible does it say that we are supposed to worship the Jews? I thought we were supposed to love them the same as everyone else. John Hagee even led a church in repentance to the Jews for anti-semetism one time. I'm not apologizing for the holocaust. I had nothing to do with it. The Jews have my sympathy, but not my apologies. I wonder if super zionists know that the whole of Israel is laughing at them. Just something I wonder about.

Argamani, no jealousy at all. The Bible say that there is no more Jew nor Gentile, but all are ONE in Christ. Gentile believers have been grafted into the promise.

Corrosion, it's nice to see you. Haven't seen you in awhile.

Drat. This is the second time Argamani has ran from my question. She runs and goes into hiding more than Dick Cheney.

Answer 1

Simple advice: Stop listening to this John Hagee fella. You'll sleep better at night. Guaranteed.

Peace be with you.

Answer 2

Christian zionism is in my view simply a herasy.
First they are not peacemakers as any attemept at talking peace the Christian zionist will condemn. next most Christian zionest have this mindset where they hate gentiles. First we see the adds to raise money to fly Jews out of Eastern Europe- which just goes on about how evil the folks are, and dose not seem concenred for the fact the poor conditons effect every one in the region.
Next they seem support ethnic cleansing of the Holy land. I hear people state "Any one who isn't Jewish should leave." Which makes me wounder if they want to see the palistinians dealt with in a final solution. It makes me sick I know Christians in the area who feel they are trapped between two groups of extremist and seek to bring peace to their neighboors-as they get it from both sides. The only sain answer to what our role should be- is supporting peace not either combatiant.

Answer 3

The bible says however that God is not partial:

Acts 10:34,44-45
Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism...While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

Romans 2:11
For God does not show favoritism.

Even before the Christian era, king Salomon prayed on behalf of the gentiles too:

1 Kings 8:38-40

what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man or by all Thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart and spread forth his hands toward this house--

then hear Thou in heaven Thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart Thou knowest (for Thou, even Thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men),

that they may fear Thee all the days that they live in the land which Thou gavest unto our fathers.

Answer 4

John Hagee lost his marbles and they rolled under the pulpit. Christian Zionism is dangerous and serves only Israel, not Christianity, Judaism nor the United States.

The Lapin Brothers and Abe Foxman, as well as the AJC and AIPAC have done their work well.

They certainly don't represent the views of my friends who are of the Jewish faith. In fact, my neurologist cringed when we were having coffee once, saying "I wish they'd go away."

See? A real answer from me, Word.

Word, you'll also find Argamani's arrogance wearisome after a while once she no longer finds your Goyim self useful. She's a Gentile hater.

Answer 5

An example of truth with an added flavor...Hagee has gone beyond.
I am as you are. But according to the scriptures, salvation is NOT linked to this. It rests on other things, not limited to, but does include our treatment of others...if we have love for one another is a sign we are His.

Answer 6

God said this to Abraham this promise applies not only to Abraham but to his children.

Genesis 12:3
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.

In these verses God calls the children of Israel the apple of His eye.

Deuteronomy 32:10
He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.

Psalm 17:8
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Proverbs 7:2
Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.

Zechariah 2:8
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.

Perhaps you should read each of the above chapters?

Answer 7

Trust me it puzzles me as well.

As a Jew I am saying this, if you pro-Israel that is great, but some of them are getting an obsessive level.

But I guess it is better to obsessively like someone then to obsessively hate them.

Answer 8

you're definitely acceptable in this one! The traitors and evil US Zionists and their ilk are combining forces to make Israel no longer merely a superpower, yet they plan on having them take over the entire middle east and enslave all the Arab human beings. .Why do no longer human beings awaken to the information?!

Answer 9

It is somewhat ironic that the Jews do not worship who the Christians consider to be their messiah. Religion is so warped nowadays that it isn't so much about the spirit as it is power.

Answer 10

yeah, I'm aware of that. John Hagee has just really gone off base with his stuff.
