Sorry, but that's just plain old wrong......

The following is found at Zionism on the Web:

Christian Zionism combats Christian antisemitism

"A significant amount of Christian antisemitism revolves around the theory of replacement theology. According to this theory Christians replaced the Jews as the chosen people, and Jews have no further role to play in gods designs. Replacement theology, described by Zionism Israel.com as "a bigoted doctrine of the medieval church" is connection with anti-Semitism and specifically the promotion of the charge of Deicide, that is the Jews are blamed for the crucifixion. This charge from the medieval church lead to numerous genocides against the Jewish people in various countries. The church has since appologied and rejected this theology. Christian Zionists are at the forefront of exposing places where this evil lingers."

There can be no more insidious or deadly train of thought as to say to someone "If you don't believe like I do then you must hate me" or "If you don't believe like I do then you must be a bigot." The above statement from Zionism on the Web bears this out. What's being said here in no uncertain terms is this: If you don't believe in Christian Zionism then you must be a racist, more specifically, antisemitic. You must be a bigot. The ignorance displayed by the above referenced statement bears this out. Yet a simple and cursory look at the Bible slices through this vitriol like a hot, two-edged sword slices through the core of men!

When Paul, a Pharisee and Benjamite states with clarity that, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28) then it must be concluded based on this declaration that Paul was antisemitic!

When Paul, a Pharisee and Benjamite states with clarity that, " Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed." (Romans 9:6-8) then it must be concluded based on this declaration that Paul was antisemitic!

When Paul, a Pharisee and Benjamite states with clarity that, "That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." and " But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe." (Galatians 3:14, 22) then it must be concluded based on this declaration that Paul was antisemitic!

It must be pointed out that these promises do not come by blood but as Paul says these promises come by faith,

Romans 4: 13
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, [was] not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

And Abraham's righteousness was counted as faith.....

Romans 4:9
[Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision [only], or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

Even more powerful is Paul's declaration that if we have faith in that which was promised to Abraham, that is Jesus Christ, then we are children of Abraham:

Galatians 3:7
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

Of course, tying all of this together in a nice tight package for us is John the Baptist, who, when the religious leaders of his day insisted that the had the promise of Father Abraham by blood, were told in no uncertain terms that God the Father of all didn't need them and what's more, if He needed to, He could bring forth heirs to Abraham from stones.

Matthew 3:9
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

What's remarkable in all of this is that God has done just as he promised, and continues to do so to this very day! He has made a nation to rise in place of the stubborn and obstinate Children of Israel by and through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ was a Jew. Jews descended from Judah, who was one of the sons of Jacob who had his name changed by God. Jacob was the grandson of Abraham. Abraham was a son Eber. Eber was one of the sons of Shem. Shem is where we derive the term "antisemite."

And I am very thankful and very blessed that this humble and gracious Jewish carpenter called me to come to Him, to abide with Him and to be a part of His Kingdom. If believing the promises of the Bible and the truths they reveal make me an antisemite, then I stand guilty as charged!

Am I shocked by any of this? No, not in the least. Fortunately, I was given a "heads-up" ahead of time before anyone ever thought of the term "Christian Zionism."

Matthew 10:22
And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
