Dealing With Christian Zionists Inside Our Own Churches And Families Charles E. Carlson
A long time friend named John wrote in frustration about a reply he received from his pastor in response to his letter about the church’s lack of concern for the ongoing slaughter in Iraq. John sought an answer to two scriptural references, and to his frustration the pastor’s reply was entirely secular. This big church pastor ignored the questions involving Jesus and the Apostle Paul’s words. Instead, John was told how evil Saddam Hussein was; that Islam must be stopped, and that the State of Israel is an example of why all wars are not evil. (1)
Secular and even bloodthirsty replies from religious leaders are not the exception. They usually ignore scripture, especially the New Testament. As an extreme example, John Hagee has held ‘Night To Honor Israel’ programs where Jesus' name has never been mentioned. War-favoring, war-excusing, and war-enabling church leaders avoid New Testament scripture because in it there is no justification for killing anyone. Your friends and family who are under Judeo-Christian influence do not realize this until they are shown, which is our self-appointed job.
We are often asked how one can pick a church to attend that is not Judeo-Christian.
