If you follow the money (how these churches are funded), it'll lead back to Soros.
"The leadership of the Presbyterian Church recently decided to encourage its governing body to promote divestment from companies that do business with Israel."
Just for information - this is the Presbyterian Church USA not the PCA or free reformed presbyterian churches. PCA is more conservative and upholds the Bible's teaching and gospel message.
Other than the part above that I've quoted, I do believe that this church action against Israel is anti-semitic.
My exception for the above line is a constitutional issue. "Congress shall make no law....denying the free exercise (of religion.)"
That law cannot apply to churches because Congress can make NO LAW regarding someone's exercise of religion.
What part of NO LAW don't they understand????!!
Most of these "mainline denominations" quit being Christian years ago.
For the record, Christian anti-Semitism is heresy.
Bump for later reading.
Very good article. Thanks for posting.
FYI
I Love my M-I-L but she is a Liberal from hell and Lutheran. She takes my kids to church w/her every time the doors open. When the Pastor asked if we had any questions before he Baptized them. I asked him what he thought of the problems with terrorism and the Palestianians and he said he was not choosing sides.
There is a huge Church right down the road from their's and I am seriously going drag my hubby there by his beard and/or make him sleep on the couch till he goes. The pastors name is Maury Davis and his church keeps getting bigger and bigger and he is pretty popular in the Nashville area.
I knew that there was something wicked about my mom in law. Methinks it would take holy water to kill her. lol
ok what is M-I-L?
I'm relatively sure this is not MO synod Lutheran either.
"Mother in law" = MIL
Most ppl's are from hell, but mine is not.
If you are married, you will know what I mean.:)
Oh yea! My mother is bad enough.
You got that right. It was that liberal branch of the Lutheran church. By the way, do you know where that branch came from?
A law that itself violates Free Speech. A bad law.
Ooooo... I never would have let my MIL decide which church my girls went to, muchless where they would be baptized.
good luck!
The following paragraph tagged on at the end ...
The only explanation for this contrarian posture and counter-productive timing is that the main line churches are quite literally panicking in the face of the real prospect of a diplomatic solution to the Mid-east conflict. (11) They do not want peace between Israel and the Arab world. They want the terrorists to win. And to help the terrorists, they support divestment.... is a rabbit-out-of-the-hat guess in comparison to the finely done mountain of detail about "why divestment in Israel is perverted" that precededs it.
Thank you for the article, but please be advised the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod should not be grouped with the ELCA on this issue.
She is a control freak. She bought our house for us because we didn't qualify because my hubby is self employed and we fight all the time because she is always bashing our wonderful President. She is in the Clinton Kerry camp.
IT WOULD TAKE A BIG BUCKET of holy water to kill her.
Not a day goes by that she reminds us we owe her and we pay the house note on time every month and she calls it her house. We have done enough work on the home the value is at least $10,000 over the purchase price.
I love her anyway, I have to for our kids sake. The holidays are a hoot. Everyone fighting etc. This last New Years I played sick and stayed home and watched the history channel and at 2 am my hubby walked all the way home because they all got into it. 10 miles he walked. I was very curt with her for a month.
