Featured What Do You Feel About John Hagees' Teaching on the Jews...

I do not consider Hagee to be a Christian, just as I consider Joel Osteen to be a heretic. Both congregations are being lead by a wolf in sheeps clothing.

 

He's just one of thousands of voices out there with his own spin on the Scriptures. Start your own church and away you go!

 

Much like the pointy hatted guy in Rome...

 

Is Hagee in the pay of the godless nation that calls itself Israel? The nation that benefits from billions of dollars of U.S. taxes? The nation protected by U.S. armaments and stolen nuclear secrets? The nation that steals Palestinian land and water, and operates a stranglehold on whole areas of Palestine, and discriminates against Christians and Muslims, AND Jewish and multifaith peace workers.

The nation that totally disregards the OT prophets call for justice.

I suggest Hagee and his followers reread the Gospels without Zionist blinders.

 

Do you actually have scripture that supports this claim?

I can produce many passages that plainly convict the Jews of the crime but none that places the bloodguilt on anyone else, not even the Romans.

Growing up in what I now consider to be a hyper-Evangelical/Dispensational Southern Baptist church, I listened to many impassioned sermons telling me that I was just as guilty of crucifying Christ as if I were there driving the spikes in His hands and His feet and piercing His side with the spear, in the same vein of those sermons that horrendously placed the bloodguilt of others being damned to hell on me because of my failure as a soul winner. Is this what you believe?

 

I completely agree with this excerpt from monergism.com:

"Dispensationalism is a relatively modern hermeneutic, or way of interpreting the scriptures, that has roots in the teachings of John Darby, was greatly popularized by C. I. Scofield, through the notes in his study bible, became influential through the establishment of Dallas Theological Seminary and many of its professors, including Lewis Sperry Chafer and Charles Ryrie, and has been greatly sensationalized and made influential at a popular level through the fiction and dramatic predictions and interpretations of authors such as Hal Lindsey and Tim LaHaye. Today, Dispensationalism is hugely influential worldwide, having a significant impact not just on the doctrine of the Church, but even on global politics, as the Dispensationally-driven Christian Zionist movement, championed by such men as John Hagee, has largely shaped America's Middle Eastern policies for many years."

What is Dispensationalism?

 

I think this thread will invite anti semetic posts unfortunately.

 

"his own spin on the Scriptures".

Actually it's the same spin as all the other 'last day' charlatans making merchandise of the flock, he feeds them the 'sensationalism of Dispensationalism'.

 

....and this sort of unfounded smears.

 

So it's either Zionism or antisemitism, no possible middle ground?

 

The solid ground is, "What saith the scriptures?"

 

Let me clarify. Hagee has obviously jumped the shark with this ridiculous claim. I wasn't disputing that.

 

.​

Criticism of Israel, Zionism & Jews is NOT antisemitic.

Criticism of Roman Catholicism, Modernism & Christian Zionism, etc, is NOT antichristian.

 

Sure. And criticism of Palestinians or some other regional despots does not equal Zionism.

I've spent over 10% of my adult life in the Middle East. I feel that my opinions on the region stem from more than just my eschatology.

 

No one likes to see their sacred cows getting bashed.
