Bride of Christ Begins Cursing Israel?

We can't turn our TV's or computers on any single day and not hear of another atrocity committed in a Muslim nation by some Islamic group hyped up on the Koran.  And of course Russia and China make sure you don't open curse them or you may end up breaking rocks in some far away labor camp.

But according to a group of church leaders from numerous Christian denominations, we need to look hard at stopping our help to Israel because they are terrible human rights abusers.

Leaders of several major US Christian denominations — including Protestants, Presbyterians, Baptists, Lutherans and Methodists — have asked members of Congress to reconsider US aid to Israel in light of “widespread Israeli human rights violations.”

In a letter dated October 5, the signatories say “unconditional US military assistance” to Israel is a factor in “deteriorating conditions in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories” that threaten the “realization of a just peace.”

 

The Church leaders missive asks for “an immediate investigation into possible violations by Israel of the US Foreign Assistance Act and the US Arms Export Control Act, which respectively prohibit assistance to any country which engages in a consistent pattern of human rights violations and limit the use of US weapons to ‘internal security’ or ‘legitimate self-defense.’”

 

The letter continues: “We urge Congress to undertake careful scrutiny to ensure that our aid is not supporting actions by the government of Israel that undermine prospects for peace. We urge Congress to hold hearings to examine Israel’s compliance, and we request regular reporting on compliance and the withholding of military aid for non-compliance.”

 

The three-page document, which includes examples of “specific, systematic human rights violations related to US military support,” was signed by high-ranking officials from 16 denominations.

 

“As Christian leaders in the United States,” they write, “it is our moral responsibility to question the continuation of unconditional US financial assistance to the government of Israel. Realizing a just and lasting peace will require this accountability, as continued US military assistance to Israel — offered without conditions or accountability — will only serve to sustain the status quo and Israel’s military occupation of the Palestinian territories.”

 

The letter also decried what it called “a troubling and consistent pattern of disregard by the government of Israel” for US policies that support peace in the region, citing Israel’s failure to halt settlement activity, despite repeated US government requests.

 

“We write to you as Christian leaders representing US churches and religious organizations committed to seeking a just peace for Israelis and Palestinians,” the letter said, adding that the organizations have “worked alongside our Palestinian Christian sisters and brothers to help build a peaceful and resilient Palestinian civil society.”

Holy blessings and curses!!  Can they be serious???  We have sent Egypt $5 billion per year over the past decades even though we all knew that was a foul nation FULL of human rights abuses...where were these same church leaders then?  Where are those church leaders as we look at Pakistan and the Christian persecution there??

 

Most terrifying is their comments about 'Israel's failure to halt settlement activity'...because now they are messing with land issues again....and they simply have no clue they are poking God in the eye when they start messing with HIS LAND.

 

I would strongly suggest you find out if YOUR denomination signed this letter and if they did we all need to decide what we are going to do about it.

 

I, for one, want no part of a denomination that has turned so negatively biased towards God's chosen people and His nation Israel.

 

Where do you suppose this anti-Zionist sentiment is coming from?  Hmmmm....let's think about it for a second.....could it be Satan??  Who else would love for the Bride of Christ to turn on God's Bride, Israel?

 

You simply can't make that up.
