    And then these "main stream" churches wonder why their memberships numbers keeps dwindling.

    These American "churches" have migrated away from the Christian doctrines upon which they were founded. They have "a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof." Having lost their spiritual compass (Christ), they have justified their existence by becoming glorified social workers. Their "good intentions," have added to the "Hell" that America is turning into.

    To me Israel is the only democratic country in the middle east and for churches to boycott Israel is the same as denying that the Lord made a covenant with Abraham to give them the land of Israel with Jerusalem as their capitol

    Because Israel has carried out a decades long program to confiscate Palestinian land and to drive the Palestinians off the land that God gave to the Palestinians who are the Jews of the Torah era according to the best DNA science.

    This Christian man explains why.

    The church has replaced Israel in God’s plan. The Jews are no longer God’s chosen people, and God does not have specific future plans for the nation of Israel.

    Zionist-Christians into believing that they, the Jews, are God’s “chosen people.. Jews tell Zionist-Christians that when God said to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless thee,” that He would withhold His blessings upon Christians unless they support Israel! How utterly unbiblical!

    Are Christians to bless the murderers and blasphemers of Jesus Christ?

    St John the Baptist did not teach an unconditional blessing upon the Jews when he rebuked them, saying, “Do not say you have Abraham for your father, for God is able to raise up from these stones sons of Abraham.” (Matthew 3).

    St Peter did not teach an unconditional blessing upon the Jews when he rebuked them, saying, “You crucified the Lord of glory and must repent and be baptized.” (Acts 2).

    The bible teaches that the Christian Church is the “Israel of God” *not* Jews.

    St Paul wrote in his Epistle To The Romans: “They are not all Israel who are of Israel.” The true Israel are the Christians who have embraced the coming of the Messiah Jesus. The false Israel are the Jews who rejected the coming of the Messiah Jesus.

    St Paul designates 3 classes of people:

    1) The Jews: Rejecters of God & His Promises.

    2) The Gentiles: Rejecters of God & the Bible.

    3) The Israel of God: The Christian Church. (I Cor 10; Galatians 6)

    And St Paul teaches that the Christians are the seed of Abraham *not* Jews, saying, “If ye are Christ’s then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.” (Romans 3)

    Christian Zionists support the murder of Arab children. The Lord Jesus Christ warned: “Whosoever shall offend one of these little ones it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” (St Mark 9).

    To be a Christian is to care for Christ’s little ones. The Jews look upon Christ’s little ones as sub-humans, as taught by their hate-filled Talmud. We who confess to be Christians must rebuke the Jews and demand that they repent!
