    is always right, it doesn't mean we don't remonstrate Israel, butwe are going to have their back."

    By Meredith Mandell, Special to msnbc.com

    Thousands of miles from their home in Seymour, Tenn., Scott andTheresa Johnson host Shabbat dinners in their Jerusalemapartment every Friday night for "lone soldiers" as the youngmen and women who travel from foreign countries to serve in theIsraeli army are known.

    Typically, 20 or 30 of the soldiers join the Johnsons for a

    traditional meal and wine and to join in a rousing rendition of"Shalom Aleichem," an old Hebrew song sung to greet theSabbath day of rest. Scott Johnson leads the song wearing a"kippah" a traditional Jewish head cover and standingbeneath a painting ofGilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier heldprisoner in Gaza for five years before being released inOctober.The Johnsons, however, are not Jewish. They areevangelical Christians who live in Israel full-time,operating a

    U.S.-based 501 c(3) nonprofit, the Servants to Christ Corp.

    Servants to Christ is one of scores of evangelical Christianorganizations working in Israel on a variety of charitablemissions. And its presence is just one example of the increasinglytight embrace of the Jewish state by both the leadership ofAmerican evangelical churches and organizations and their grass-roots supporters.

    Pro-Israel rhetoric fueled in part by increasing tensions in theMiddle East over Iran's nuclear program and the threat itmight pose to the Jewish state is a staple of many U.S.evangelical leaders' speeches and sermons.

    It has likewise become a popular refrain among GOP presidentialcandidates looking to shore up their support with the party'sconservative religious wing.

    Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, for example,recently made comments calling the Palestinians an"invented people" and has said he would support Israel if itdecided to attack Iran.

    Israel asks US for arms that could aid Iran strikeRichard Land, president of the Southern Baptist Convention'sEthics and Religious Liberty Commission, said such staunch

    support for Israel is fundamental to the evangelical movement.

    "American evangelicals have it in their DNA: God blesses thosewho bless the Jews and curses whoever curses the Jews," hesaid. "We want God to bless America and if America doesn'tsupport Israel we don't have his blessing. It doesn't mean Israel isalways right, it doesn't mean we don't remonstrate Israel, but weare going to have their back."

    That broad backing for Israel is in part grounded in a widely heldevangelical belief that the existence of a Jewish state is aprerequisite for the second coming of Jesus.

    Many evangelicals believe that when Jesus returns, it will be toIsrael. The purpose of his Second Coming will be to destroy itsenemies and return to heaven with his followers in what is

    variously called the Rapture or the End Times.

    'Islamaphobic'

    Under this interpretation of the Book of Revelation, the Rapturecan't happen if there is no Jewish state in the Holy Land.

    But critics including some within the evangelical movementitself say that such devout allegiance to Israel is also beingdriven by a more worldly concern: fear of Islam.

    "We definitely believe they (U.S. evangelical leaders) areIslamaphobic and that is hindering them from having the rightapproach toward Islam," said Munther Isaac, an instructor atBethlehem Bible College who describes himself on his blog as aPalestinian evangelical Christian.

    Obama accuses GOP critics of 'beating the drums of war'

    in Mideast

    Isaac is a co-organizer of a five-day conference that beganMonday in Bethlehem titled "Christ at the Checkpoint." The goalof the event, which is expected to draw up to 600 people, is "toequip the global church to understand Scripture as it relates to thePalestinian context, and to discuss the theological importance ofPeace and Justice in an evangelical context." Among the lectures

    on the agenda is one titled "Loving the Muslim."

    Isaac, 32, said many evangelicals and politicians who court themoften make no distinction between radical Islam and the religion'smainstream: "The more we demonize Islam in our talks, in ourbooks, in our sermons, the more we polarize them it's likefeeding the enemy and empowering the more radical voice, andwe shouldn't do that."

    But Land, of the Southern Baptist Convention, criticized what hereferred to as "replacement theologians" within the evangelicalmovement who do not see the creation of the state of Israel as anact of divine intervention.

    "Unfortunately, many people in the replacement theology crowdseem to give moral equivalence to Israel and her enemies and wedo not see moral equivalence," Land said.

    He also rejected the notion that Islamaphobia plays any role inevangelical support for Israel, ticking off numerous deadly attacksperpetrated by Muslim extremists against Americans and others,including the 2009 Fort Hood shooting in Texas and the Sept. 11terrorist attacks.

    "There is a dangerous cult loose within Islam called Wahhabism,and it's called Jihadism," he said. "It needs to be confronted forwhat it is and it needs to be defeated. When people are trying tokill you it's not Islamaphobic, it's reality."

    Others are more direct in their criticism of Isaac and otherorganizers of the Christ at the Checkpoint conference.

    "We think our support for Israel is a positive response from theheart, not out of a diagnosed or supposed phobia," said DavidParsons, a spokesman for the International Christian Embassy inJerusalem, a nonprofit evangelical ministry. He called the Christat the Checkpoint organizers "misguided" and "dishonest."

    "They've not been honest about why the wall and the checkpointsare there, and they downplay the terrorists' threats to Israel, and

    they downplay the persecution of Palestinian Christians by theirMuslim neighbors," Parsons said.

    Political tumult

    Mistrust of Islam and its adherents within the evangelicalmovement is well documented. A survey published last year bythe Pew Center Forum on Public Life indicated that 67 percent ofmore than 2,200 evangelical leaders surveyed expressed an

    unfavorable view of Islam and that 47 percent considered Islam tobe a "major threat" to Christianity.

    But many evangelical Christian Zionists point to the currentescalation of tensions between Israel and Iran, which Israel says istrying to develop nuclear weapons, as well as the political tumultand violence in the Middle East arising from the continuing ArabSpring uprisings, as legitimate reasons to be concerned.

    Rebecca Brimmer, chief executive and president of Bridges forPeace, a Jerusalem-based evangelical group that operates thelargest food drive in the country, said: "I don't hate any people orgroup. But, it's like with (Iranian President Mahmoud)Ahmadinejad saying hateful things if I quote whatAhmadinejad says, does that mean I am Islamaphobic? Or does itmean I am a realist that says this is what this man is saying and

    we should pay attention." Ahmadinejad has been quoted as callingfor the destruction of Israel.

    That sentiment has spilled over into broader forums.Conservative American political commentator Glenn Beck lastyear organized a gathering of more than 3,000 people in theancient Israeli city of Ceasaria for what he called a "RestoringCourage" tour intended to highlight concerns that pro-Islamist

    governments were springing up throughout the Middle East andnorth Africa in the wake of last year's "Arab Spring" revolts. WhileBeck is Mormon, the event drew a heavily evangelical crowd andfeatured evangelical pastor John C. Hagee as a keynote speaker.

    Republicans could give Obama green light on Iran

    Hagee, a Texas minister and the founder of Christians United forIsrael, revved up the crowd with these words: "People of Israel, wehave come from America and the nations of the world as people of

    faith. God is with you. Fifty million evangelicals in America arewith you. This time in history you are not alone. ... Your enemiesare our enemies, and your fight is our fight. We are united, and wewill prevail."

    The belief that a military conflict between Israel and Iran iscoming explains why many evangelical Christians, like theJohnsons, are also big supporters ofthe Friends of the IDF

    (the Israeli Defense Forces, a charitable organization providingassistance to Israeli soldiers.

    Pizza in the trenches

    Scott Johnson, who calls himself an ardent "Christian Zionist,"says he is not ashamed to take sides. During the Lebanon war in2006, the Johnsons took a van and went to Ramban Hospital in

    Haifa to pick up wounded soldiers and return them to theirhomes. They also went to the Lebanon border and delivered pizza,falafel and shawarma to Israeli soldiers in the trenches. And onseveral occasions they have hosted barbecues on their terrace forentire units of the IDF.

    "I believe Islam is a threat to the world. It's a threat to decent,moral human beings. Not 100 percent of them, but the ones in

    control," Scott Johnson said.

    Observers say evangelical support for Israel gained momentumafter Israel's Six Day War in 1967 against Syria, Jordan and Egypt.

    Many evangelicals viewed Israel's victory against its Soviet-backedArab neighbors with admiration, reminiscent of the biblical storyof David, the future king of Israel, defeating gigantic Philistinewarrior Goliath.

    In 1980, after the international community condemned Israel fordeclaring Jerusalem the "eternal and indivisible capital" of theJewish state and 13 nations shifted their embassies to Tel Aviv,Christian Zionists established the International ChristianEmbassy in Jerusalem, to show their support for the Jewish state.

    During the 1980s, the Israeli government began to organize all-

    expenses-paid "familiarization" tours of the Holy Land forevangelical pastors in an effort to cement such support.

    Evangelical Christian Mission trips and humanitarian tourscontinue today, giving the country not only moral support but alsoa nice economic boost. During the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, forexample, roughly 5,000 evangelicals visit Israel as part of theChristian celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles, and 60 percent

    of Israel's 2.8 million tourists last year were Christian pilgrims,according to the Ministry of Tourism.

    Historically, some Israelis have been suspicious of Christiangroups inside the country, worrying that their aim is to convertJews to Christianity. But given their staunch political support forIsrael in recent years, most Israeli politicians now welcome them."I think why there is there such a strong connection between Jews

    and Christians, especially at the political level in Israel, is we sawduring the (Palestinian uprising) intifada that one by one, thenations of the world were turning against us," said JoshuaReinstein, director of the Israeli Knesset's Christian Allies Caucus.

    "But Christians stood their ground and stood up next to us."

    comes to us (Jews and Gentiles) only through Gods own Son: Jesus Christ, which hadbeen (deceptively) mixed together with the CONDEMNING Law of Moses, which nullifiedfor them the gospel of grace, mercy, and forgiveness.

    St. Paul had proclaimed the good news of love, mercy, hope, and forgiveness to the

    Jews at the synagogues in Galatia and many ofthem had believed in Jesus Christ, who,as St Paul proclaimed, was the promised and long-awaited Messiah of God, which wasspoken of by Moses and the Prophets, and was, in fact, the fulfillment of the Law andthe Prophets: Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I havenot come to abolish them but to fulfill them (Matthew. 5:17).

    Those false teachers, who were so eager to win the favor of the (new) Christian Jewsin Galatia, had followed on hot-on-the-heals of St. Paul, once he had left Galatia. Afterhaving established new Christian churches there, teaching in the Jewish synagogues, StPaul moved on to take the Gospel into other places. Those false teachers, once St.Paul had left Galatia, moved in with their false teachings of keeping the Law of Moses,in every minute detail, seeking to establish their own righteousness, commingling withthe Gospel of Grace, which was not-at-all the same, liberating good news St Paul hadproclaimed to the Jews in Galatia. It was, in fact: a perversion of the gospel.

    I am astonished that you [Galatians] are so quickly deserting him [God] who called youin the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospelnot that there is anotherone, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. Buteven if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the onewe preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again:If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be

    accursed (Galatians 1:6-9).

    This different gospel, which St Paul was speaking of (above) is not a gospel (i.e., goodnews), was a distortion of the gospel of Christ, and St Paul proclaimed a curse upon

    those false teachers, who had crept into the synagogues of Galatia and were puttingGod to the test by placing a yoke upon the necks of the new Jewish Christians, whichneither their fathers nor they were able to bear. This, as St. Paul told them, is contraryto the message he had proclaimed to them: that we will be saved through the grace ofthe Lord Jesus (see also: Acts 15:1-21).

    Those false teachers were (and are, today, in America) known as Judaizers (Greek:

    Ioudaizo, meaning: to adopt Jewish customs; see: Galatians 2:14) and were a party ofJewish Christians in the Early Church, who taught that circumcision and theobservance of the Mosaic Law were necessary for salvation and in consequence wishedto impose them on the Gentile converts, or who at least considered them as stillobligatory on the Jewish Christians(see: here).

    St. Paul wrote to the Jewish Christians in Galatia (which is why we have his letter)today, in order to explain to them the error of those false teachers who were

    attempting to place the old yoke of the Law of Moses upon these new Christians, notlong after St. Paul had left Galatia, explaining to them: We ourselves are Jews by birthand not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the lawbut through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be

    justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no

    one will be justified. (Galatians 2:15-16).

    By works of the law no one will be justified. THIS was St. Pauls gospel message,concerning the Law of Moses to the Jewish Christians in Galatia. Those false teachers,the Judaizers, were teaching the Galatians they were justified, or made right with God,by the works of the Law of Moses, and not by faith in Jesus Christ.

    Although many might imagine the false teachings of the Judaizers of St. Pauls day longdead and forgotten, this is not at all the case. Those false teachers and their falseteachings, which are contrary to God and the Gospel of Grace in Jesus Christ, are aliveand well today in the form of what is known as Judaized Christianity, or:ChristianZionism.

    This same false teaching, of a Judaized Christianity, which St Paul stood so firmlyagainst, being contrary as it was/is to God and to his Gospel of Grace, which is in JesusChrist, has caused millions of Americans to mistakenly believe the same accursed lies of

    those false teachers who dogged St. Paul 2,000 years ago, and their false doctrine,when translated intoAmerican political power, has had murderous consequences formillions of innocent people throughout the world, and even here, in America.CONTRARY to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

    Who are those false teachers - and their Judaized Christians followers, here, inAmerica whom St Paul warned both the Galatians and America about today?

    I am astonished that you [Americans] are so quickly deserting him [God] who calledyou in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel [Christian Zionism] notthat there is another one, but there are some who trouble you [John Hagee, and manyothers] and want to distort [Judaize] the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angelfrom heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, lethim be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching toyou a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him [Hagee, et al] be accursed(Galatians 1:6-9).

    and to defend Israel from her enemies, which is the exact opposite of the TRUTH of theGospel of Christ (= antichrist).

    Millions of Americans have been falsely led into believing that those who bless Israelwill be blessed, and those who curse Israel will be cursed and that America will be

    cursed by God if we fail to bless and protect Israel when, in fact, NOTHING could befurther from the TRUTH.

    Jesus cursed Israel, as a nation, for rejecting him. So, is Jesus cursed by God for doingso? I think NOT. Christians are to be imitators Jesus Christ; we are commanded to do ashe did. Should we then do the opposite of what Jesus himself said and did? Should webless Christ-rejecting Christ-hating Israel? Or should we imitate our Lord and reaffirmhis curse upon unrepentant unbelieving Jews and Israel, because the Jews and Israel,as a nation, rejected Christ and demanded that he be executed by the Romans?

    People who mistakenly believe they should bless Israel think they are following God,and Jesus. But what did Jesus say to the Jews and to Israel?

    O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sentto it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers herbrood under her wings, and you would not! See, your house is left to youdesolate (Matthew. 23:37-38).

    Israel was made desolate; abandoned by God,just as Jesus said it would be (see: Matthew23:38; see also Matthew 24 on the destructionof the JewishTemple and the desolation ofJerusalem), and Israel has been abandoned byGod and desolate for 2,000 years (since 70

    AD). Todays unrepentant unbelieving Jews inIsrael are trying to usurp Gods will for them: tobe scattered across the earth for failing to keep

    Gods covenant:

    Gods will today for the Jews and Israel: Jewsare CURSED for their disobedience, their failureto keep Gods covenant, and are, today,attempting to usurp Gods will for unrepentant and unbelieving Jews and Israel:

    Those false teachers have perverted the beautiful Gospel of Love and Life by turningit upon its head and making it an ugly religion of Hate and Death to all those whowould be the enemies of the Jews and Israel: (true) Christians and Muslims

    Not surprisingly, the children of those who rejected Christ and demanded the Romanprocurator Pontius Pilate crucify Christ are, today, the enemies of Jesus, the Gospel,

    Christians, Muslims, and, according to St. Paul:the enemies of all humankind, just asthey have been for the past 2,000 years.

    For you, brethren, followed the example of the Churches of God in Christ Jesus whichare in Judaea; seeing that you endured the same ill-treatment at the hands of yourcountrymen, as they did at the hands of the Jews. Those Jewish persecutors killed boththe Lord Jesus and the Prophets, and drove us out of their midst. They are displeasingto God, and are the enemies of all mankind; for they still try to prevent our preaching tothe Gentiles so that they may find salvation. They thus continually fill up the measure oftheir own sins, and Gods anger in its severest form has overtaken them. (1

    Thessalonians 2:14-16).

    PEACE with those who have done us no evil (Muslims), and WE MUST begin settingAmerica on a proper course of JUSTICE. Without their sacrifices, America could NEVERbe saved.

    Without this horrendous suffering, which has, is, and will be (for many years to come),

    endured by our service members and their families, we could NEVER learn this mostimportant of lessons for America, and we would NEVER be able to recover ourselvesfrom the snare of evil that grips us today, and has griped us for many, many, bloodyyears.

    Their blood cries out to God from the ground of the Middle East for JUSTICE!

    LET US NOT ALLOW THESE AMERICANS SACRIFICES TO BE IN VAIN! THEIRSACRIFICES MUST MOTIVATE US TO ACTION!

    Are we teachable? Are we listening? God is trying to tell us something

    The price has been, is, and will continue to be terribly high, and it is only because ofthe sacrifices of these selfless Americans that we are now able to find our way to thisugly truth so that we might establish true peace and true justice, in the Middle East andat home, IF we civilians, like them, will do our duty: accept the TRUTH about the Jewsand Israel; END the wars; and begin seeking PEACE with the Muslim inhabitants of theMiddle East. ISRAEL not Iran or any other Muslim nation IS AMERICAS ENEMY. Tobelieve otherwise of to believe A LIE and to DAMN AMERICA and her TROOPS, which I,for one, will NOT stand for.

    Stand up for Truth! Stand up for Justice! Stand up for Peace!

    Justice demands we end these wars. The Muslim peoples of the Middle East are not ourenemies and did us no harm. Its been the Christ-rejecting Christ-hating Jews of Israelwho are our enemies and who have done us true harm.

    Peace demand we end the war against the Muslim peoples of the Middle East, who areIsraels enemies, not ours. The Muslims and the Christians have a common enemy: theJews of Israel.

    Truth demands we proclaim the Gospel of Christ, and not an ungodly, unholy,murderous perversion of the gospel: the Judaized Christianity known as ChristianZionism.

    THE GOSPEL TRUTH: Both Jews and Gentiles are called by God to share in thewondrous mercy, love, and forgiveness that comes to us only through Christ Jesus ourLord!

    Have I now become your enemy because I am telling you the truth? Those falseteachers are so eager to win your favor, but their intentions are not good. They aretrying to shut you off from me so that you will pay attention only to them ~ Saint Paul(Galatians 4:16).

    Via Dolorosa

    So Jesus said to the Jewswho had believed in him, Ifyou abide in my word, youare truly my disciples, andyou will know the truth, andthe truth will set you free.They answered him, We areoffspring of Abraham andhave never been enslaved toanyone. How is it that yousay, You will become free?

    Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slaveto sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So ifthe Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. I know that you are offspring of

    Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you. I speak ofwhat I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.

    You Are of Your Father the Devil

    They answered him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, If you wereAbrahams children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, but now you seek tokill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what

    Abraham did. You are doing the works your father did. They said to him, We were notborn of sexual immorality. We have one Fathereven God. Jesus said to them, If Godwere your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came notof my own accord, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It isbecause you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and yourwill is to do your fathers desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and hasnothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaksout of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell thetruth, you do not believe me. Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth,why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reasonwhy you do not hear them is that you are not of God. (John 8:31-47).

    LEARN THE TRUTH! VIDEO Christian Zionism and Political ZionismEXPOSED

    Stand up for Truth! Stand up for Justice! Stand up for Peace!

    We, the American People, are DONE!

    And I have a final message here for those sworn elected and appointed officials of theUS Government who have betrayed their oaths in order to serve Israel, for those aroundthe government who have facilitated this effort, and for Israel itself. You all have beendiscovered. Your treason, treachery and crimes are known. You may not believe it yet,but your political and strategic Judgment Day is finally appearing on the horizon, assurely as it came for Nineveh and Tyre in ancient times, for the infamous Third Reich in1945, and for the Soviet Union two decades ago. Beware. We are coming for you. ~Col. Alan Sobrosky PhD USMC (Ret.)

    What must we do?

    This post is dedicated to my fellow American veterans, active duty, National Guard, andreserve members of the US armed forces who have been wounded, killed, and aremissing in action, because they heeded the call of duty. They have made the ultimatesacrifices, so that we might live free. Let us never allow their sacrifices, and those oftheir families and friends, to be in vain, but rather let us follow their example. May theyfind peace and rest in the eternal embrace of Gods unfathomable love. May their lovedones find peace, hope, and comfort knowing that all those who have died having placedtheir faith and hope in the crucified, buried, and risen Christ are alive with him and will,like him, rise to live again!
