John McCain Accepts The Endorsement Of Heretic John Hagee!

Posted by Job on February 28, 2008

First Huckabee, then McCain, who was on record in 1999 as stating that he did not want to overturn Roe v. Wade. McCain also has a long record of opposing many of the things on Hagee’s political and religious agendas. This just proves that the guy who denies the Messiahship of Jesus Christ, claims that Jesus Christ was killed by Rome for His political beliefs,prophesied that the United States would attack Iran in 2007 (and is still demanding that we attack Iran!) and preaches dual covenant theology is simply in it for the power and money.

Replacement Theology

Posted by Job on February 17, 2008

From Dr. Randy Weiss of Crosstalk.com, who can be reached at randy@crosstalk.org

Conditions deteriorated between Jews and Christians
until the Church led the world into the anti-Semitic
excesses of the era known as the Dark Ages. It is worth
remembering that the Dark Ages of the Gentile world
revealed a renaissance of Jewish literature and
philosophy. While the Gentile world floundered in
illiteracy, the Jewish world gave rise to the birth of
talmudic writings and rabbinic literature that might
best be described as an era of Jewish Enlightenment.
Yet the Christian world seethed with hatred against
everything Jewish. And it was during these Dark Ages
that conditions further deteriorated for Jews. The
history of the Church was marred by abominable medieval
Christian atrocities against Jews.

The Church, as the “new Israel,” attacked the
original children of Israel with an unholy vengeance.
Christian theologians boldly revealed their propensity
to interpret the promises of God as having been shifted
from Israel to the Church. In their view, Christianity
got the blessings and the Jews retained the curses of
God. As the theology of the Church solidified, their
perspective on Jews and Judaism decomposed. The
Church’s premier thinkers inadvertently became the
Jew’s worst nightmare.

Aurelius Augustinus, the bishop of Hippo (354 - 430),
better known as Saint Augustine, was a leader of the
Church during the fourth and fifth centuries CE. Under
his guidance, Christianity slid deeply into the error
of anti-Semitism. It can be deduced from the teachings
of Augustine that the Church came to a view that the
Jews were a lost race without hope of redemption. The
Church determined that Israel had forfeited her
covenants by rejecting Christ. Augustinian theology
provided for a dramatic shift in Catholic politics,
worldviews, and eschatology. The leaders of the Church
of Rome began to teach that all the future messianic
promises of natural Israel were transferred to the new
spiritual Israel–the Church.

The Roman Catholic Church appropriated the system of
interpretation first developed by Origen in the early
2nd century. This permitted Church leaders to develop
their own symbolic interpretations of the Bible. As the
theology of Augustine became popularized, the Church
soon began teaching that God had chosen the Church to
receive all of the promises previously granted to
Israel as a divine right of Christianity. To the
detriment of the Jewish people, this dangerous system
of thought continued to expand throughout the region
touched by Church authority. That authority did expand
to include as much political control as the Church
could gain in the world. During portions of the Middle
Ages, the Church was in a position of power that
covered most of the continent of Europe. Unfortunately,
the beliefs and practices of the Church that ruled
Europe did not reflect the original orthodox views of
the earlier leaders of the Church in Israel. It is
clear from the accounts of history that when the Church
was dominant in both religion and politics, it led to
some of the most oppressive periods of Christianity. It
must also be admitted that the negative effects of
power were felt by both Christians and those outside of
the Church.

Augustine’s teaching did not lose impact after his
death. His views prevailed and furthered the
depreciation of the Jewish people. Any system of
Christian thought that presents the Church as having
spiritually taken the place of Israel, such as
Replacement Theology, or Dominion Theology, is heavily
dependent on the system of early Catholic biblical
interpretation developed by Origen and Augustine.

This perverted heresy worked its way deep into the
beliefs of the Roman Church. The effects have been felt
in many Christian circles since the early fifth century
when it became embedded in the spiritual DNA of many
Christians. Soon the Church espoused the view that it
had become heir to the covenant promises of God
previously granted to Israel. This also included the
Church’s right to the Holyland. Some within the
Catholic Church still hold the hope of a spiritual
claim to Israel. I believe it is one of the reasons
they refused to recognize the nation of Israel until
recently. Instead of leaving Jerusalem under the
control of Jews, Some Catholics would have preferred
that the Vatican be granted control over the Holyland
and the holy sites.

Modern history is closely connected to ancient history.
In a sense, the Jews were in the way of the Church
then. The Jews remain in the way now. The difference is
that at that earlier time, the Church used its newfound
political power to move the Jews out of their way. They
did so by enacting and enforcing terrible anti-Jewish
legislation. This wicked practice was one of the sad
legacies of the era of Christian political dominion. As
is well known by Jewish people, the Church was the
primary source of problems throughout the Middle Ages.
It must be remembered that the Church used terror and
violence to control the Jews. And they used brute force
to convert Jews to Christianity. It was common for
Christians to exert political oppression and every form
of cruelty to dominate Jews or kill them when it suited
the oppressors.

Beginning in the Dark Ages and continuing throughout
the Middle Ages, anti-Semitism came to the world from
the Church. Jewish people were permitted to live in
Christian controlled areas. However, this was not due
to any beneficent attitudes. Rather, it was to prove
the veracity of the Old Testament prophecies. Christian
leaders, such as Augustine, presumed that Scriptures
predicted that the Jews would be rejected and
dispersed. Therefore, when Jews were found to be living
below the standards of Christians, even if under
horrifying circumstances, it revealed divine punishment
and prophetic fulfillment. Jewish suffering proved
God’s will according to the perverse view of some
Christians in that age. Copyright 2005 by Randy Weiss, Ph.D.

Pat Robertson: Dual Covenant Theology Heretic

Posted by Job on February 14, 2008

Independent Conservative » Blog Archive » Why Did Pat Robertson Lie to Michael Eisner About Salvation?On June 20, 2006 the cable TV network CNBC featured media mogul
Michael Eisner interviewing Pat Robertson. Although this happened some
time ago, there was something that took place during this particular
interview, that I have not found much outcry against and I felt it
should be noted here. Because it is a totally misleading use of
scripture and Pat Robertson once again showed he’s following AND
TEACHING a false gospel, to say what he said to Michael Eisner.

What concerns me occurred at the tail end of the interview. You can watch video of the interview via this link and once the interview video starts (after an advertisement), you can advance to 4:22 to see where things start regarding what I’m speaking of here.

Below is a quote from the official transcript.


MICHAEL EISNER:
This may be a silly question. I’ve almost been married as long as you have. About 40 years. How long have you been married?

PAT ROBERTSON:
About 52.

MICHAEL EISNER:

All right. So I’m not– I’m not in your league. I’m not in your league.

PAT ROBERTSON:

All right.

MICHAEL EISNER:
So my wife is Christian.

PAT ROBERTSON:
Right.

MICHAEL EISNER:
So I appreciate the fact that she’s Christian. She can go to heaven. I’m Jewish.

PAT ROBERTSON:
Yeah.

MICHAEL EISNER:

So from what I understand, we only can be together in– on this Earth. ‘Cause I can’t go to heaven, according to the 700 Club.

PAT ROBERTSON:

No, not according to the 700 Club. I don’t know who it’s according to.

MICHAEL EISNER:
All right. So– well, I thought Jews couldn’t go to heaven.

PAT ROBERTSON:
All right. Here’s the deal. And with this– the Apostle Paul said that
all Israel will be saved. There’s going to come a time when all Jews
are gonna come to heaven. They’re all gonna meet the– the Lord. And–
and it’s– it’s in the Old Testament. Zachariah says they’ll look upon
him who they have pierced, and they’re going to mourn and so forth. But
there’s gonna come a time of extraordinary persecution. There already
has come. But it’s gonna be some serious stuff. And– it’s told by the
Old Testament prophets the answer that we believe as evangelicals is
that God has a special role for the Jewish people. And you look at– you
look at the 22nd Psalm. He talks about his bones pulled out of joint,
you know? And he talks about people surrounding. And he looks down, and
it describes the crucifixion. It’s all in there. It’s in the Old
Testament– describing what happened. And– I’m just one of the goy that
came along late. (LAUGHTER) I– I’m– I’m converting to the– to the faith
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

MICHAEL EISNER:
So you’re converting to Judaism.

PAT ROBERTSON:
Well, I’m not converting to Judaism. (OVERTALK)

MICHAEL EISNER:

See, I thought I’d– this would be– this would be a big announcement here.

PAT ROBERTSON:
(LAUGHTER) I’m–

MICHAEL EISNER:
I could get a big rating.

PAT ROBERTSON:
I’m converting– (OVERTALK)

MICHAEL EISNER:
Pat Robertson converts to Judaism. (OVERTALK)

PAT ROBERTSON:
–faith of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And– but the time is coming very
soon when there’s going to be a revelation of the Lord to everybody.
And all Israel, all Israel is gonna get saved.

MICHAEL EISNER:
You’ve always been known to be very pro-Israel.

PAT ROBERTSON:
Totally pro-Israel. I mean, I– I’ve got the Star of David printed on my underwear. I mean, it’s that kind of thing.

MICHAEL EISNER:
Thought you had Mickey Mouse on your underwear.

PAT ROBERTSON:

(LAUGHTER) (UNINTEL) said you’re more Israeli than (UNINTEL). But in–
in any event– I firmly believe that according to the Bible, the– the
fullness of the Gentiles will come in. And then all Israel will be
saved. That’s what the Apostle Paul wrote.

MICHAEL EISNER:

Wow. (LAUGHTER) Thank you very much– (OVERTALK)

MICHAEL EISNER:
Got a lot to think about now.

PAT ROBERTSON:
(LAUGHTER) I want you to be with your wife.

MICHAEL EISNER:
Yeah. I’m gonna be with her, one way or the other.

PAT ROBERTSON:
Okay. (LAUGHTER)

MICHAEL EISNER:

Thank you.

What Pat Robertson basically said was (paraphrasing), All you Jews are going to Heaven, because Paul said ALL ISRAEL will be saved.

In the context Pat Robertson spoke, he spoke a lie. We could say Hebrew scripture notes all Israel one day went into the promised land, HOWEVER we should not forget that many did not get beyond the wilderness.

Numbers 14:22-32 (New American Standard Bible)

22 “Surely all the men who have seen My glory and My
signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me
to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice,

23 shall by no means see the land which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who spurned Me see it.

24 “But My servant Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and
has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and
his descendants shall take possession of it.

25 “Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys; turn
tomorrow and set out to the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”

26 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

27 “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who are
grumbling against Me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of
Israel, which they are making against Me.

28 “Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the LORD, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will surely do to you;

29 your corpses will fall in this wilderness, even all your
numbered men, according to your complete number from twenty years old
and upward, who have grumbled against Me.

30 ‘Surely you shall not come into the land in which I swore to
settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

31 ‘Your children, however, whom you said would become a prey–I
will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.

32 ‘But as for you, your corpses will fall in this wilderness.

Take note of the statement “nor shall any of those who spurned Me see it”.
The Messiah of Hebrew scripture has come and His name is Jesus, Yeshua.
Yeshua, Jesus is the Christ. Since his coming, He warned Israel for
their unbelief in Him.

Luke 19:41-44 (New American Standard Bible)

41 When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it,

42 saying, “If you had known in this day, even you, the things
which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.

43 “For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up
a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side,

44 and they will level you to the ground and your children within
you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you
did not recognize the time of your visitation.”

And it did happen.

Jesus provided the means for salvation through belief on Him. Jesus even explained this himself in John 3.
Through His sacrificial death, burial and resurrection, He provides
salvation to all who believe on Him, turning from darkness, both Jew
and Gentile alike.

One who rejects Jesus does not have the Father, they do not have God. They are not saved.

1 John 2:22-23 (New American Standard Bible)

22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is
the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and
the Son.

23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.

Therefore, it is impossible to tell anyone, even a Jew (a person of Hebrew blood) that they can be saved via any means except they believe on Jesus Christ. If they deny Him, they are not saved, period.

So what of all Israel being saved as Paul said? It is just like it
was for the Jews of the past. Those who deny the truth God has given to
man through His Son will perish, but a final remnant of Israel will
believe on Him and be saved. This does not mean Michael Eisner will be
part of that group. So to tell Michael Eisner “all Israel”, as if it
applies to him and all Jews is an untruth. Romans 11
is best read in full, given it details things fully. Through Hebrew
disobedience a means of salvation was made for Gentiles that believe on
Christ, but no Jew who rejects Christ will be saved. All Jews reading
this post should read the book of Hebrews from its first chapter to its last (chapter 13). When the fullness of Gentiles has come in (all Gentiles who are the Lord’s believe on Him),
that final remaining remnant of Hebrew blood will be at a point in
biblical prophesy, where they will all accept Jesus as Lord and He will
save them and all still in flesh at that time who believe on Him. All
who die today believing on Christ are saved too, but not anyone who
fails to. This does not mean Michael Eisner is saved by virtue of his
heritage, no more than anyone else that fails to believe on Jesus.

I feel it is a heinous crime against the Lord God, that so-called Christians are lying to people of Hebrew descent.
