A huge, embarrassing secret is out of the bottle: it is a political reality that a poorly-described mass of professing Christians have been the swing vote in each of the last seven presidential elections. This group is made up of people from many denominations and non-denominational community groups and churches, most of whom call themselves evangelical, Judeo-Christian, and a few answer to Christian Zionist. We prefer the clearly defined term from Bible history ˜Judaized Christianity” to describe it. Several seasoned political analysts now agree that this religious super-sect will again decide the election in November, and with it the fate of hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people. Your writer is a qualified alumnus from this school.
Because he has announced his intent to attack other Arab countries, the reelection of George W. Bush will be viewed as a mandate for his war policy. Judaized Christians are only now being clearly recognized as Bush’s principal support base. Therefore it is time for us to take a closer look at why many evangelicals have no problem with preemptive wars.
We are also appealing for self-appraisal by all who call themselves by Christ’s name. It is not generally understood that there is zero support for Judaized Christians’ war positions in scripture. Celebrity leaders and pastors invariably claim they follow the exact word of God, never varying from scripture. In fact, interviews with and letters from dozens of these have revealed that they can offer no coherent New Testament support whatsoever for the practice of “just retribution,” the killing of one man’s children for what someone else is thought to have done to a third party.
War and racial repression are, in fact, profoundly unchristian-like, but this is not discussed in Judaized Christian churches. The basis for their views toward Israel comes from the Old Testament, never from the New Covenant; no leader of laymen we have met has ever been able to justify bombing of civilians without resorting to man-made alterations, additions or footnotes tacked on to the Bible by men with an agenda.
It is also not generally understood by evangelicals that what fires them to think and vote as a bloc is that, like robots, they have been conditioned to accept the state of Israel as a world power by an aggressive movement that was launched almost a hundred years ago–World Zionism? and that this conditioning has diverted them from their true path into one that serves Israel, not Jesus.
It is time for followers of Christ regardless of church affiliation to confront the entire politicized, Judaized Christian movement, whose acts find no support in the New Testament of Jesus Christ, the Prince on Peace; its followers are deceived or they would not follow it.
“Judaizeâ€? is defined by Webster in 1828 as: ?conforming to the rights and doctrines of the Jews.? Noah Webster made reference to the biblical book of Galatians, who the Apostle Paul addresses as, “Oh foolish Galatians.”
As a doctrine, Judaized Christianity has its taproot, not in the Bible, but in Zionist-doctored, Israel-friendly study reference bibles, of which there are now many. The first of these was named The Scofield Reference Edition and was published by Oxford University Press in 1908, named after Cyrus I. Scofield. It was published 38 years before the State of Israel was created by the United Nations? mandate, but well after world Zionism set its sights on Palestine. Scofiel was promoted through American seminaries into the hands of church leadership. It contains hundreds of pages of small-type footnotes; some shade the future State of Israel as a virtual god icon.
Oxford also inserted hundreds of ˜Sub Headings” between the verses that most readers came to accept as part of the scripture. Many of these are benign, but others have radically altered the meaning of the text. Judaized Christianity breathes these footnotes in and out; it builds quack-science of prophesy on the footnotes! Pharisee Watch will publish more analysis in the future, but we feel we have already adequately exposed enough to make our case, and to seal the future history of Judaized Christianity as the most successful hoax religion of all times. Pivotal to this was the bizarre bending of Genesis 12:3, endnote (1).
Celebrity leaders, including Jerry Falwell and John Hagee claim huge numbers of followers and openly boast they control the American presidency and seek to control Congress. Falwell, who founded the Moral Majority in the 1980s, claims evangelicals are 70 million strong.
Bill Moyer’s opined that 15% of the vote and 30% of Republicans are evangelicals. We believe Mr. Moyer’s percentages are decidedly understated, especially in the area of Democratic voters. Southern evangelicals were mostly Democrats for 100 years after the civil war. Many still are, and if 30% of Republicans voters are Judaized Christians, as Moyers states, Democrats are not far behind. This helps explain why Bill Clinton twice split the evangelical vote, after discovering his life long Judaized Christianity, and why Democrat, Baptist, Jimmy Carter was elected.
Rev. Donald Wagner, professor of religion and director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Chicago’s North Park University associated with the Evangelical Covenant Church, and author of several books, including Anxious for Armageddon and Dying in the Land of Promise, believes the influence of Christian Zionism within traditional, mainstream churches swells the possible numbers to about 120 million.
But the actual numbers are not so important as is the frailty of the glue that holds them together. Former president Carter has recently pointed out the link between evangelicalism and the State of Israel. Similarly, Bill Moyers, despite insufficient emphasis of the reason for the success of Judaized Christianity, deserves our thanks for bravery in the face of a hostile Zionist controlled media. He said in his powerful speech to the Society of Professional Journalists Conference:
“How do we explain the possibility that a close election in November could turn on several million good and decent citizens who believe in the Rapture Index…whose buckle holds in place George W. Bush’s armor of the Lord.”
(to them) “A war with Islam in the Middle East is not something to be feared but welcomed…. One estimate puts these people at about 15 percent of the electorate…. they are part of the core of George W. Bush’s base support.”(3)
All political camps now admit that a favorable split of the Judaized Christian vote is needed to win. A post mortem of the last seven elections would show that these five presidents, two of whom were Democrats, have taken the USA into no less than 13 attacks or preemptive bombings on weak and largely undefended nations, not to mention many complicitous acts and sanctions. Most of those who suffered great injury were Muslim, with the notable exception of Christian, Serbia, which by our count was Bill Clinton’s fourth preemptive bombing after pronouncing himself to be a Christian, and becoming President because he did.
In our current election Judaized Christians are about to elect the candidate who promises to destroy more Muslims. President Bush could only have been appealing to Judaized Christians when he labeled the so-called war on terror (Muslims) a battle between “good and evil,” and at least once described the war as a “crusade.”
The Judaized Christian view is finally out of the bag and open for discussion, thanks to those few, including ourselves, who have noticed and had the courage to speak out. Bill Moyer’s is correct in saying Israel is in the middle of the problems. Former President Jimmy Carter, a life long Baptist, stated the same thing in almost the same words at the Democratic convention. But we need to dig much deeper if we are to change the way our Judaized Christian friends think and act. This phenomenon is not a mystery, as Moyers? words suggest. The cause is available to all who will look, as We Hold These Truths’has done.
Jesus is not Judaized
As we stated in a previous article, Why Judaized Christians Are Re-electing George W. Bush, (2) their logic is entirely false from a Biblical point of view and it is enormously self-destructive. The Apostle Paul would have called them “foolish Galatiansâ€?. Judaized Christians claim the present day State of Israel is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy, and they ignore the killing and starving of innocent women and children deemed necessary to protect Israel from Islam. Israel’s wars are, to them, our wars.
It is not like Jesus to shirk responsibility for what our government does in Jesus Christ’s name. Jesus stated that those who know about evil are responsible for it, and to paraphrase, if you even contemplate evil you are guilty of it. This is 100% in conflict with Talmudic Judaism, which holds you can hire someone else to do what you are not allowed to do by your law.
It is not our place to offer up dozens of scriptural citations supporting our view that Jesus is always a peacemaker. This is scripturally indisputable, but it is not our place to disprove anti-Christ bible yarn from Judaized Christians. Instead, it is up to those who support this “crusade� to explain how they reconcile bombing Iraq and starving Palestinian children with the Holy Scripture.
We challenge any Judaized Christian leader or layman to show us where we err. We already know from experience this will not and cannot be done. Not only have we read the scriptures ourselves, but we have listened to the arguments of dozens of high profile leaders and Judaized Christian laymen who have tried their best to dissuade us from our course. We hear from some every day!
Appeal to the Christ followers
Most Judaized Christian church members are honest, compassionate people who will do the right thing if their conscience dictates it. Many do not understand their success-oriented leaders’ demands that they place Israel’s interest first. Most really do not understand the confused theology that is presented from thousands of pulpits and lavish TV shows. They follow leaders who promise a one line eternal salvation without the complications of repentance or following Jesus example of love and service. Jesus is presented in the comfortable atmosphere of show business, in one form or another. To this end, Judaized Christians are being misled to believe a monstrous and tragic lie about what Jesus said. To claim to be a “believer” and at the same time support the killing of innocent non-combatants in Iraq or Palestine with American weapons or men is to take Jesus’ holy name in vain. It is to lie about what He stands for and what He stands against.
It is a duty of every person of good conscience to tell them the truth. Those who deny Christ’s words while claiming to follow Him should contemplate His words about heaven and the unhealthy, unpleasant alternative to heaven. Please do not expect Judaized Christian leaders to like what this letter says. Your course is to urge them to read it anyway. We must challenging leaders publicly before their followers where they will not otherwise listen. We call these confrontations “vigils.” We debate each in front of his churches and gatherings. One Project Strait team in Fresno California has picketed eight major churches in as many weeks. We are now alerting thousands of church leaders in the area that each on may be next.
How to get started
You should learn how to test your own pastor, deacon, priest? even your own family members for the signs of the Judaized Christianity syndrome. One non-invasive question that will determine if you are speaking to a Judaized Christian:
“Do you believe that the present day state of Israel is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy?”
All answers except “No,” are dead wrong and not supportable from the New Testament, which teaches that only Jesus is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. You might have to ask yourself why you have come to believe this error. Also demand to know where your pastor or evangelical leaders got the authority to help take the life of a child in Palestine or Iraq?
These two questions need to be asked of two million Christian leaders. That will require a lot more money than we have. Please help, this is your fight too! Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians, 2-17, explains why you are the one who needs to make yourself heard:
“But who is adequate for a task like this? Only those who, like ourselves, are men of integrity sent by God, speaking with Christ’s power, with God’s eyes upon us. We are not like those hucksters- there are many of them–whose idea in getting out the Gospel is to make a good living out of it.”
“We dare to say these good things about ourselves only because of our great trust in God through Christ, that he will help us to be true about what we say, and not because we think we can do anything of lasting value of ourselves; our only power and success comes from God.”
