Following in Jimmy Carter’s footsteps

February 26th, 2007  ·  35 Comments

PeaNUT-job Jimmy Carter claims his truest and most heartfelt desire is for Israel to live in peace, but all he really cares about is getting the Israelis and Arabs to sign another peace of worthless paper so he can cement his own legacy.

Sadly, Carter’s is the same path being tread by President George W. Bush, as it was by Bill Clinton before him, and George Bush Sr. before him.

Bush, with his messianic declarations about brining peace to the Middle East via his “two-state vision,” certainly finds himself agreeing with Carter’s assertion that “Israel must exchange Palestinian land [sic] for peace.”

That America’s leaders failed to change their tune after Israel’s full surrender of the Gaza Strip not only did not result in peace, but actually increased the violence and led to Hamas’ electoral victory should be proof enough that their true goal is not peace, at least not for Israel.

What concerns me more, however, is the failure of Israel’s friends among the American Christian community to unleash a hurricane of opposition to Bush’s plans in the wake of this realization.

I know people here and there are writing to the White House, and there has been the occasional pro-Israel rally (all of which I feel lacked real fire and passion.) But why don’t Israel’s numerous friends in the US react to Bush’s policies regarding the Holy Land in the same impassioned manner that the liberal Left reacts to the war in Iraq?

If Carter were still in office, I can imagine a far greater mobilization of Christian opposition to his policies vis-a-vis Israel.

But Bush’s determined quest to play midwife to “Palestine” is no less dangerous.

In my view, it is Bush’s strong stand against the America-hating Muslim “extremists” - which the president wrongly identifies as a mere fringe element in the Islamic world - that has kept the largely patriotic, America-loving Christian community from focusing too much attention on his “Road Map to Israel’s demise.”

I don’t believe that Bush himself is evil, or has evil intentions. But like so many Christians in America, I believe he is blinded to God’s plans for Israel, and he is allowing his “war on terror” to be used by the true, underlying Enemy to blunt what could be massive American Christian support for and positive participation in that divine scheme.

I remember that just after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US an American friend told my colleague Stan Goodenough that America’s Evangelicals were still for Israel, but that we needed to back off on all the pro-Israel stuff for a bit and let them deal with the assault on their own nation.

It is right to face down the demonic Islamofacist assault on America, but not at the expense of remembering that Israel takes center stage in God’s plans to defeat evil once and for all.

If Americans are allowing themselves to be made ineffective in the battle to prevent the Enemy’s efforts to thwart God’s plans by dividing Israel, then their own war on terror is ultimately pointless.

    Let the chips fall where they may, Jesus will call me home via the rapture the sooner things fall apart in the middle east. Come soon Lord Jesus.

  • 2 Ryan // Feb 26, 2007 at 7:23 pm

    Analee,

    That is the position I see many fellow believers taking, and I believe it to be misguided.

    Yes, the LORD is going to fulfill His will, regardless of who stands where. But one day we will stand before Him and have to answer for our actions (or lack thereof) while He was at work.

    We are not bystanders. We are supposed to be participants in what He is doing.

  • 3 John // Feb 26, 2007 at 7:38 pm

    Jimmy Carter already left his legacy.
    He should have stayed home playing with his peanuts and sent his brother Billy to Washington.
    Then he should have invited the Clintons to Georgia and made peanut farmers out of them.
    How much better off our country would be.

  • 4 Marcel // Feb 26, 2007 at 7:43 pm

    Ryan,
    How the truth is in short supply today .Thanks for the courage to say what few others dare to say in order to be accepted and loved.

    Analee is a perfect example of the decieved,worthless,lost it’s salt, self centered church in America who assume wrongly they will escape soon.
    Is the truth too brutal ,too hard ?
    Beter to hear it now from me than from Jesus when it is too late to repent and get some white robes and more oil in your lamp..
    Many have time to escape the stong delusion,but time is short.

    God will bring His bride thru the refining fires of persecution because there is much filth which needs to be laundered from her robes and then to those who ENDURE UNTO THE END ,He will appear at the last trump. Matt 24

    Here’s a short primer just for today.

    Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
    Jeremiah51
    Jim’s exerpt.
    Come on Bush, Rice, PERES, Olmert, Putin, Solona, and the rest of
    you antichrist leaders. Come on. Why do you expect anyone to believe
    that turning the garden spot, which used to be known as Gush Katif,
    Israel, into a Terrorist Cesspool, is how to conduct a war on
    terror? Why do you think that people are too dumbed down to see and
    understand that it was a VERY BAD DEAL, and a MONUMENT of FOLLY, at
    the expense of 9,000 good lives, to form the TERRORIST CESSPOOL of
    Gaza? The Palestinian Terrorist State of Gaza has become the
    CESSPOOL of TERRORISM of this planet. Look at the TERROR, look at
    the sanctuary for terrorists, look at the bloodshed, look at the
    anarchy, and look at the misery. How can anyone dare say The
    Terrorist Sanctuary of the Palestinian Terrorist State of Gaza MUST
    BE EXPANDED TEN TIMES LARGER for the sake of peace? Ten times larger
    for the war on terror? If you dare say that to me, then I will tell
    you, that you are MAD.

    (Isn’t what Bush did to the peole of Gush Katif for his arrogant agenda evil ,Ryan ? )

    Give us help from trouble,
    For the help of man is useless.
    Through God we will do valiantly,
    For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.
    Psalm 108

  • 5 Ryan // Feb 26, 2007 at 7:53 pm

    Yes, what Bush and Sharon did to the people of Gush Katif was evil - but that evil came from a much deeper, more sinister source than Bush and Sharon themselves.

    I don’t believe Bush is evil, but that he is being used as a tool of the evil one to accomplish evil on this earth.

    Likewise I don’t believe that those who believe like Analee are “worthless,” but rather misguided and perhaps willfully blind to the truth.

    I am with you on what is happening, Marcel, but I think we need to respond to our fellow believers who aren’t seeing it with love and prayer, not scorn.

  • 6 Joyce // Feb 26, 2007 at 9:48 pm

    Jimmy Carter should stick to the business of peanut farming, because he doesn’t seem to have a clue about what’s going on. Because if he did, then being a Christian he should know better than to promote this false peace process. But like Bush he has let the world, and other things, get in the way of being an informed Christian of God’s Word. Because both Bush, and Carter, should take the time to read, and study their Bible as faithful Christians should do, whether they are the President, and ex-President, or not. Because if they were to do that, then they should know that pushing Israel into giving up land, and accepting this false peace process is wrong, and against God’s Word. And I pray they will come to realize this before it’s too late.

  • 7 Marcel // Feb 26, 2007 at 11:07 pm

    Ryan,
    So we disagree ,as I have no doubt that this man has grown more and more evil .
    he’s cleverly devious and so easliy decieves the dumb sheep who keep making excuses for his evil .
    A perfect satanic trait.
    He is God’s instrument to bring about the end of America ,and soon.
    With continued arrogance and great stupidity he will set in motion the tribulation period by attacking Iran.
    This messiah complex moron on his white horse ,having conquered Afghanistan and Iraq will bring about the death of millions by his latest miscalculation.
    But in the end it is God’s judgment by way of an arrogant and evil fool who decievs many by way of peace .
    I don’t think he is the anti-christ but he is a good example ,a type .
    The rider on the red horse, Red Russia,Red China ,Sword of Islam, which takes peace from the earth is out of the barn.

    Do not spare ,do not have any pity

    By my uncomfortable words,I do hope there will be many more who mourn and sigh for what is going on because those who are not marked in this way will recieve much more than scorn.
    The feigned love which does not bring rebuke to a backslid and saltless church is not love but a phony sham.
    God is about to lose His manners with the religious crowd again and it’s going to get real ugly,especially for those who miscalculate the time of the rapture .

    and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
    To the others He said in my hearing, “Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity.
    Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple. 7 Then He said to them, “Defile the temple, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” And they went out and killed in the city.
    So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone; and I fell on my face and cried out, and said, “Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem?”
    Ezekiel 9:4

    Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

  • 8 Yaffa // Feb 27, 2007 at 2:45 am

    First of all Bush ,carter and the the leaders in Washington are not ! christians .In the book of John ch 10 verse 4 After taking out all of His won ,He goes out ahead of them ;and the sheep follow Him because they recognize His voice ,again in ch 10 verses 27 thru 29 it says ; My sheep listen to my voice ,I recognize them ,they follow me ,and I give them eternal life .Satan presents himself as an angel of light deceiving many . Bush Sr. bush Jr .Clinton ,Carter and the US State Department and the CIA that are training and arning the Arab -Nazi’s to the teeth ,are all Traitors of the worst kind . but there day will come and they will reap what they’ve sown . G-d is not mocked .

  • 9 Yaffa // Feb 27, 2007 at 2:56 am

    Marcel ,why are you taking the scriptures out of Text ? Do you really believe that Adonai has cast off His people the Jews ? I want you to show me in the Torah and Tanakh ( The Old Testament and even the New ,where it’s written ?And do you also believe in replacemnet theology ? Do you believe the blood bought church of the Living G-d has replaced Israel ?
    If so ? Then prove it !

  • 10 Charles Wesley // Feb 27, 2007 at 4:43 am

    I believe that we are all on the same side guys . No body has all the answers . I do believe that we will see the first part of the Tribulation . You know I’ll bet that God does not depend on us for anything . But we do want to support Israel until our end which may be sooner than later .
    How about Satans latest attack on the very root of Christianity ? Now they say that they have found the bones of Jesus and have DNA evidence . Compared to what? God said he would send them a strong delusion that they should believe a lie that believed not . Soon the truth would have been evident to even an unbeliever .
    The gifts and covenants of God are without repentence . We will fail but He will not.

  • 11 Joyce // Feb 27, 2007 at 6:06 am

    I’m not going to argue the point of whether Bush and Carter are Christians. Because it’s not my place to judge the salvation of others. I will leave that up to God.

  • 12 Anne Kraemer // Feb 27, 2007 at 8:12 am

    Some fight with swords.
    Some with the tongue of the flesh
    Casting shadow, casting doubt, throwing stones, they lash about. The scriptures say when a Warrior is warring…nothing remains clear. Let us be sober and vigilant. Some of you are running on the water as we come near to the days of Jacob’s trouble. You will be getting weary and confused. Just write me and I will do my best to give you a cup of water. If you have not entered into your rest, you will find yourself collapsing. And if you are wise as a serpent, but gentle as a dove, then you will receive the strength to endure. That will be different for each of us. But to be sure, each of us will be forged in the fire.
    Please do not turn to divide the Christians in America against you by speaking judgment. We are blowing the Trumpets, we are interceding, we are for Israel. Politics are not as powerful as one fervant prayer. America is under attack by the Demonic Powers and Principalites of the air.
    We would hope Israel prays for us also.
    In the name of Jesus I plead with you not to make the same error that the Zealots made during the time that Christ was about to come the First time. They carried that Nationalism, tried to tie it in with the Jesus movement, and actually killed in the name of Jesus as their hopeful King, wanting to throw down the Roman occupation.
    Americans are at a disadvantage so far from the realities of the Middle East, we have many weaknesses, but God is our strength and will do battle, as we do our best. That happens to be what I believe.

  • 13 Ryan // Feb 27, 2007 at 8:26 am

    Anne,

    I know that there are many Christians in the US that are doing much on behalf of Israel. But unfortuantely, there are many more who in their hearts support Israel, but in practice do nothing.

    It is these that I want to spur to action.

    Prayer is important, and should never be forgotten, but action is equally important - to make ourselves available to be used physically by God to make an impact.

    I think our model for these days needs to be David. He was a mighty prayer warrior, constantly on his knees before the LORD. But he was also a warrior in the physical for the sake of Israel, a man of great action. And for this, he was called a “man after God’s own heart.”

  • 14 Marcel // Feb 27, 2007 at 3:25 pm

    “”I’m not going to argue the point of whether Adolph and Mussolinni are Christians. Because it’s not my place to judge the salvation of others. I will leave that up to God.”"
    blind sheep of Germany and Italy,circa 1939

    I appreciate what ther Lord gave you to write AnnE
    Yaffa,
    No ,There will be a remnant in Ameirca as in Israel who stand fdaithful to Jesus.
    As Jesus and the Apostles warned ,many shall fall away and betray one another.
    We’re living in prosperous times now and are fractured.
    “If the footmen tire you what wil you do when the horsemen come”

    And it shall come to pass in that day
    That the remnant of Israel,
    And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,
    Will never again depend on him who defeated them,
    But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
    The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,
    To the Mighty God.
    For though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,
    A remnant of them will return;
    The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
    For the Lord God of hosts
    Will make a determined end
    In the midst of all the land.

    Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of Egypt.
    For yet a very little while and the indignation will cease, as will My anger in their destruction.”
    And the Lord of hosts will stir up a scourge for him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; as His rod was on the sea, so will He lift it up in the manner of Egypt.
    THE YOKE OF U.S. INTERFERENCE IN ISRAEL WILL BE REMOVED
    It shall come to pass in that day
    That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
    And his yoke from your neck,
    And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
    Isaiah 10

  • 15 Edward in Oregon // Feb 27, 2007 at 6:09 pm

    I have not cared for Carter or any of the Bush leaders. What would have probably been worse is Kerry or Gore in the Office.

    I accept that George is a brother, but a very misinformed one on whom Israel is.

    I have warned Jeb bush about his brothers actions toward Isreal. It has been said that George is stubborn. Well, that is not a good trait. I also think that in his mind, he is trying to democrocize the world. It will not happen. The Arab leaders follow Allah. Where Allah leads, rebellion, hatred and murder prevail.

    Allah, being a pyseudo name for either Satan or a high ranking demon, is not for any form of peace inspite of the advertizement that Islam is peaceful. It is like calling the criminal Mexicans nice guys.

    We are headed for a world conflict very soon from the looks of things. What will be the outcome of this thing with Iran, it is hard to say today. I am praying for a high evangelism to break out in all the Arab states in the midst of this increasing conflict. The more Arabs seeing the truth, the better.

    One thing I do know. JESUS will not allow anything to stand in the way of the Church inspite of what our politicians think is right. The Commission will be completed soon. By soon, I mean a few years probably.

    In conclusion, I am aware that the majority of the Church is asleep when it comes to Israel. Only a few of the fellowships on this area even mention her. We had a booth for Israel three years in a row at a mission conference. We had Jews for Jesus bags to hand out. All of them went in a period of two hours. We also took first prize for the most information on Israel.

    John Hagee is the only one we can work with in support of Aliyah and the orphanage in Israel.

  • 16 Marcel // Feb 27, 2007 at 8:17 pm

    “What would have probably been worse is Kerry or Gore in the Office.”

    It’s worse with Bush because he has lulled the saints to sleep and they are now comatose as their wolf dismembers the henhouse ,Israel.
    If Kerry or Gore were elected ,there would have been more seperation ,prayer and fasting,UNDERSTANDING &WISDOM, and repentance.
    God’s blessing is removed and the church in America is dumber,more decieved that she has ever been ,seduced by the same serpent who beguiled Eve

    What is worse is a nation which has forgotten God and Christians who ‘depend’ on a corrupt system of corrupt leaders, the lesser of two evils ( both Skull&Bones) being their choice.
    What is even worse is that they are still blind to the grave error they made in not coming out and seperating themselves apart from Babylon.

  • 17 Joyce // Feb 27, 2007 at 8:23 pm

    Marcel,
    Let me make myself clear, about the subject of Bush and Carter. When I made comment #6, what I really should have put was IF they are Christians, then they should read, and study, their Bibles, and if they’re not, then they the should get themselves right with the Lord. But all I was going by when I made comment #6, is their claim to be Christians. Because I don’t know for sure if they are Christians, or not. My salvation, is the only salvation, that I can be sure about. I could state my opinion about their salvation, but that doesn’t mean my opinion would be right. And on comment #11, What I’m saying is this, that I believe, it’s not my place to judge their salvation. And I will leave that for the Lord to judge. But just because, I’m not going to bring it upon myself to judge others, doesn’t mean that I am a blind sheep. In Matthew chap. 7 : verses 1 & 2 it says:

    “Judge not, that ye be not judged.”

    “For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”

    And that doesn’t mean that I believe Christians should just sit back, and do nothing. As Christians I believe, that we should take a stand, and fight, against the iniquities of this world. And if you have read the other comments, that I have made on these forums, then you should know that already.

  • 18 Jeannette // Feb 27, 2007 at 9:21 pm

    II Timothy, chapter 2, sets forth the path of a “good soldier” in the time of apostasy, which is now. We are instructed to “shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.” “Foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.” “And the servant of the LORD must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in MEEKNESS instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” Name calling among Christians is not Godly. Not one of us knows all the mystery of God, but Jesus told his followers to love one another. “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” Foolish human pride causes divisions.

  • 19 Joyce // Feb 27, 2007 at 11:01 pm

    Amen Jeanette.

  • 20 Marcel // Feb 28, 2007 at 1:00 am

    Joyce,
    if you want to live in a confused faith of not knowing
    and not wanting to know the truth than thats your choice,a bad choice you will have no excuse for.
    We are called to ask and seek for understanidng wisdom and dicerrnment.
    That is completley missing in this Laodecian church of blissfull ignorance.
    We are to judge all things.
    I judge right now that every Christian who voted for this divider of Israel made a serious error which they need to ask God’s forgiveness for ,otherwise ,YOU WILL FALL INTO GREATER DECEPTION as many have already fallen into.
    It grows worse this strong delusion God has set upon His own people.
    The world is already deceieved ,it’s the doubleminded Christians who walk in the dark who are targeted for judgment. IT BEGINS AT THE HOUSE OF GOD !!!
    IT BEGINS AT THE HOUSE OF GOD!!!

    I asked the Lord about this woeful ignorance of so many Christian’s earlier this morning and;

    Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
    10 But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

    Too many saints stumbling around in the dark not knowing ,not sure ,in a fog ,falling under a dark cloud of last days delusion and the blind Christian’s enjoy their blissful ignorance and makes excuse for their blindness and ignorance.
    To call seroious issues of last days deception and delusion “Foolish and unlearned question’s ” reveal’s how deep the darkness is which the unlearned and decieved stumble in,Jeanette.
    Jesus came not to bring peace but a sword .
    “TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE DECIEVE YOU”
    Matthew 24;4
    You failed to heed Jesus’ warning and are deceived.
    I know this president is a fake ,a deciever an evil emissary of satan because I choose not to walk in the dark as so many of you do.
    That’s your choice and of course I am aware that the truth I speak has offended many of you because you are decieved and like it so.
    It’s OK if your deciever, snake in Washington speaks meekly and kindly as he carves up Israel .
    As long as the devil speaks meekly and gently as he does his evil that is acceptable to those who walk in the dark.
    When the two witnesses of Revelation speak and judge those on the earth harshly and without meekness and gentleness or kindness, but WITH FIRE,the decieved Christians will say ; These two men who claim to serve God cannot be true believers because they are so mean and our anti-christ false prophet religious leaders are so sweet and gentle and loving bringing unity to the church .
    I STAND WITH THE TWO WITNESSES against this apostate false religious sysyem and this evil world system and call upon all true believes to seek the Kingdom of God and seperate themselves from this evil world system !!!

  • 21 Charles Wesley // Feb 28, 2007 at 2:20 am

    Marcel , you seem to be a very angry person . Your rages are miss directed though . Your blaming people that were voting for the man that they thought would support Israel . We don’t know if Kerry would have been sympathetic to Israel . Instead of questioning what other people have done and can’t change , what are you doing for God? you must think that we can change the will of God . If you regularly attend church you should know the discontent Christians are feeling . But , many Christians did not vote for Bush,and if everyone that called themselves Christians voted for him could not have elected him. There is just not that many of us .
    Has you rage praised God , or has it blessed you ?
    The snowball of events are building and gaining speed . It is and always has been out of our control .
    Some wants to alter or slow or divert the end of this dispensation . The good life and times are about over and you can see that . Let us work together to cheat the Devil out of a few more souls while we can . By the way Joyce didn’t vote for Bush nor my self . But we support Gods will whatever it is .

  • 22 Yaffa // Feb 28, 2007 at 2:36 am

    Jimmy ( Nazi ) Carter ,Bill ( whoremonger ,and traitor) Clinton ,G .Bush just to name a few are not believing christians ,because a tree is known by the fruit it bears .And Jesus said in John ,I know my sheep and my sheep here’s my voice and another they will not answere to . G .Bush has hosted since he’s been in office Imam’s in the Whitehouse and G .Bush call’s Islam a peaceful religion and Islam is being taught in several schools in California and New York ,but christianity is not allowed in public schools ,but Islam is .And there are as many Jews in the blood bought church of the living G-d as there are gentiles .And I’m very Pro -Israel and Jerusalem is the eternal capitol of Israel .I voted for G .Bush both times ,because I thought he was Pro-Israel .but as the late Rabbi Meir Kahane said ; it doesn’t matter whether they’re republicans or democrat’s ,both parties will sacrifice Israel for OIL rich Arab nations and that’s what it boils down to .OIL !

    I don’t think this voting thing ever mattered anyway .
    God has been active in using people as he wishes anyhow . Paul was once Saul the Christian killer . God intervened . The thing that is important now is that we do Gods work .

  • 24 Nathan // Feb 28, 2007 at 4:55 am

    Jimmy Carter is the reason why Arabs and Muslims don’t respect American power in the world today. Carter will burn in hell for what he has done to the culture of America and to the people of Israel. He deserves the hot coals just as much as the Arabs do.

  • 25 Joyce // Feb 28, 2007 at 7:45 am

    Marcel,
    I don’t know where you get the idea, that I’m wanting to live in a confused faith of not knowing, and not wanting to know the truth. I’ve never said anything like that. It seems to me you’re the one, that’s confused. To begin with your assumption, that I voted for Bush is wrong. And if you had ever bothered to read any of my other comments, then you would realize, that I do not support Bush, or his policies. And that I am a strong supporter of Israel. And all this started because I mistakenly referred to Bush, and Carter as Christians, instead of saying if they were Christians. And because I said that I didn’t believe, that it is my place to judge their salvation. That does not mean, that I don’t have an opinion about it. But that’s all that it is just an opinion. And that doesn’t mean, that I can’t discern the fruit of the works of someone, that is claiming to be a Christian. But I still believe, that it is not our place to judge others salvation, because our judgement isn’t infallible. As you should realize, from all the mistaken judgements you have made about me, that you should not be the judge of anyone’s salvation. That is the responsibility of our Lord, because he does not make mistakes.

  • 26 Joyce // Feb 28, 2007 at 8:50 am

    And also I would like say, that I didn’t support Carter when he was President, and I don’t support his views now.

  • 27 Marcel // Feb 28, 2007 at 3:09 pm

    Joyce ;
    “And that doesn’t mean, that I can’t discern the fruit of the works of someone, that is claiming to be a Christian.
    Joyce, you are wrong about this ,just enough leaven to poison the whole loaf.
    Jesus told us ‘by their fruit we shall know them”
    He also told us to judge righteous judgment.
    Yaffa has eyes to see that the fruit of this devil who is insulated by the Church is not fruit of a Christian.
    He calls allah and God the same and you have difficulty judging if he is a christian.
    Charles -You’re darn right I am angry !
    You wrote; We don’t know if Kerry would have been sympathetic to Israel .
    Why is it that God clearly told me long ago to get out of all corrupt U.S. politics and seperate myself towards Him alone for action in looking for help for Israel.
    You reveal the delusion of so many Christians in bed with this corrupt and evil system which pollutes the earth.
    God is also angry with the EVIL which america and this president continues to do against Israel.
    America already faces His wrath and severe judgment ,meanwhile the Church of America is dead asleep.

    Wow. No wonder Bush is steering our ship like the drunk Captain of the Exxon Valdez. He has to keep all you loons satisfied. Absolutely nuts.

    “That America’s leaders failed to change their tune after Israel’s full surrender of the Gaza Strip”

    ** You forgot to mention it was only after our Congress was coerced by lobbyists into giving Israel $2.3 billion of our tax dollars. And for what? To move 8800 whack-job squatters out of Gaza. Tell you what, give the money back and pay back the $50+ billion in unpaid loans and you can move back. Oh, and give back the billions extorted from American taxpayers every year to get you and Egypt to sign the Camp David Agreement. Land for peace….what a farce.

    “What concerns me more, however, is the failure of Israel’s friends among the American Christian community to unleash a hurricane of opposition to Bush’s plans”

    ** You really have these rubes in your back pocket, don’t you? They FAILED, you say….huh. Well, just keep heaping piles of guilt and shame on them. They’ll give in–that is if they haven’t sold they’re computers and donated the proceeds to you or Falwell or Robertson yet… Better act fast while they still have email.

    “I don’t believe that Bush himself is evil, or has evil intentions…”

    ** He’s a clueless, spoiled brat incapable of leading a glee club, let alone a country.

    “It is right to face down the demonic Islamofacist assault on America, but not at the expense of remembering that Israel takes center stage in God’s plans to defeat evil once and for all.”

    ** Oh, of course! Israel takes center stage. How could we be so thoughtless? For shame! Do you want more money? More weapons? More power over our government?

    Here’s the problem. You’re claiming–as a spokeman for the Zionists–the Jews have rights to the land because their god told their ancestors it belongs to them…whence they slaughtered the Canaanites and took it. Sorry, the Torah is not a legal document any more than the Koran is. This is the 21st century, in case you forgot. Declaring that “Greater Israel” belongs exclusively to the Jews is racist–you know, like the Nazi’s Aryan race? And your acerbic rhetoric strongly implies Muslims are evil and you are righteous. This is hate speech. Unbelievably self-righteous and un-American hate speech.

    Marcel,
    Once again you have misunderstood me. You need to read that statement again. What I was trying to say is this, THAT I AM ABLE TO DISCERN THE FRUIT OF THE WORKS OF SOMEONE CLAIMING TO BE A CHRISTIAN. And sure I can judge for myself, whether I believe if someone is a Christian, or not. But all that I’ve been trying to say is, that I’m not the ultimate judge of these things, and neither are you. And I really don’t understand why we are arguing about this. And I don’t plan to do so anymore. So please find someone else to pick on.

    Jesse ,
    You don’t seem to be a Bible believing Christian . You actually don’t have a clue as to whats happening . This is not to say that you are not intelligent , you are just not informed as to what is behind this whole thing . You and I are players in this without our consent , and you have very little time to choose sides . You are either Muslim or an Infidel according to the Koran . Islam is on a mission against those that are not Islamic , not just the Jews .
    They are prepared to kill you as they kill each other .
    It’s too late to stop this upcoming War declared against us and all Christians . The Iranian Prez. has a vendetta and it includes America , no , is centered on America . So choose your friends carefully .

    Then if the Torah is not legal ,then the word of G-d is not infallible .Yeshua said ;Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will never pass away . Also in Isaiah ,He says ; My words will not go out from me and come back void ,but it will accomplish that where I sent it .And as far as the money the US is sending to Israel ? The US has been sending billions of dollars to prop up the Terrorists oraganizations called the PA ,PLO ,PFLP ,Fatah ,Hamas Islamic jihad and Abu Mazen and the rest of the Arab Nazi’s .Also ,the Jewish settlers who were thrown off there property in Gaza ,and there farms and all there businesses ,was handed over to these Pali -Nazi’s and Bush administration sent millions of dollars etc ,to teach the Jew hating Arab Nazi’s how to run the hot houses that once belonged to these Jewish settlers ,and what did these Arab ,Nazi’s do ? They destroyed the hothouses and the synogogues and everything the Jews worked for all there lives .And your certainly not a christian ,but a Jew hater yourself .What did G-d tell Abraham ? I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you .For the eyes of Adonai are always upon Israel and he who touches Israel pierces the very pupil of His eyes . And G .Bush is a Demagogue ,just like his predessors before him . You call that which is evil good and good evil ? And still have the gaul to call youself a christian ? no your not ! Your own words testify against you . Once again … A tree is known by the fruit it bears .And out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks great swelling words .

    Did you know that was king David’s father’s name? But I will point out that the name is wasted on you. You talk about the $50 billion plus that Israel owes the US. Gee, I wonder how much money Israel would have made by now (far MORE than $50 billion) had she not been pressured BY THE USA time and time again to give up land which they won outright from wars which the Arabs instigated seeking about Israel’s destruction. For example, the oil fields in the Sinai.

    So who owes who? Israel has always been offered up on the altar of “peace” by the international community. No normal nation would agree (or has agreed, historically, except for Czechoslovakia in 1938 - but that was no agreement) to be used as a bargaining chip to appease the bloodthirsty appetite of a people (Arabs) who will be satisfied with nothing less than the complete annihilation of their country (Israel) for the mere “promise” of peace. No normal nation would agree to indefensible borders, like Israel has, in response to the lying rhetoric coming from the heads of state of inimical neighboring nation states. They would recognize them for what they are - enemy nations who have never stopped seeking the upperhand, always doing so via violent means, to bring about ultimate defeat (of Israel). One thing Israel can be accused of - stupidity, corruption, and betraying its own people.

    The US has gotten FAR more out of this relationship than it has given. Take some time out of your rabid, frenzied existence (that which you call living) and see if you can document the multitude of contributions to civilization by the Jewish people. Then counter that with the absolutely sh**** treatment they’ve received from the nations.

    Of course, being the filthy excuse of a human being that you are, I’m pretty sure you’re INCAPABLE of exercing judgment truthfully and justly.

    You could only be too happy if Israel didn’t exist at all, and therefore, happy to cheer those on who wish to bring that about.

    Your own words condemn you.

    Charles,

    Bible believing Christians don’t usually exhibit ascerbic hatred for the apple of God’s eye. So yeah, I think it’s safe to say that this guy is as close to God … as Satan himself.

  • 34 Nerah // Mar 4, 2007 at 8:58 am

    Marcel,
    I believe Ezekial9 was fufilled in the past?! I agree that we are to judge moral right and wrong!And it is obvious about some that they are not saved. however it seems you are proclaiming to be one who can decide whether ALL Christians are saved… Not our job!!! Maybe you should try and redirect that anger of yours into righteous anger against the enemy and inform people but not by telling them they are not Christians and all the bull you have said? No matter what we do Iran will continue at us and Israel. We need to attack them!!! As far as Iraq and Afghanistan…? are you against the war? do you think Bush was wrong in sending us there? Because if that is so then you are one of those who hate Bush out of ignorance alone not true facts. The same type of ignorance you are using to call everyone else nonChristians and decieved! This war will go on and be worse if we don’t fight to win and Iran is already at war with us!!! They are in Iraq and funding terrorists in Lebanon, Palestine, etc. and if you are so good at reading people then saying to Joyce “just enough leaven to poison the whole loaf”? I don’t even know Joyce personally but I can tell she is one of the more “Godly” people here!!! Are you sure there is not a towel on your head because you sure are ranting like one who has to wrap his head to hold his brains in!? Just asking, oh is that too harsh for you? You have some truth mixed with alot of lies. That is the way satan decieves!!!

  • 35 Joyce // Mar 5, 2007 at 11:49 am

    Nerah,
    I want to thank you, for coming to my defense about Marcel’s comments, that he made to me. Just because, I didn’t agree with his views about things. I really thought, that his comments to me were uncalled for. I don’t believe, that I was rude to him, I was just trying to explain my position to him. I hope maybe, that he’ll think about the things he said to me, and realize that he was rude, and insulting, to his sister in Christ. And like you said, he does seem to have a lot of anger. And also, as you said, if he would only only try to redirect that anger at the enemy, instead of at Christians. It might show Christians, that we should love, and support each other, and not be hurtful,or degrade each other. At least I hope that it would.
