Michael Medved: My Eight Minutes With Jimmy (Carter)
Townhall.com ^ | February 4, 2009 | Michael Medved

Posted on 02/04/2009 9:02:37 AM PST by EveningStar

If you’ve got only eight minutes to confront a world leader whose impact and outlook you’ve despised and denounced for decades, then what’s the best way to take advantage of the interchange?

That was the dilemma facing me last Friday when former President Jimmy Carter agreed to a brief interview on my nationally syndicated radio program.

Medved calls Carter “The Worthless One”.... and he make no apologies about it. He really means it, and I agree with him 99% on that. That missing 1%? Carter turned me into a Republican, (read my FR profile), so I guess he was good for something.

Pros of Jimmy Carter:

He gave us the Gipper. For someone with complete control of congress, he didn’t do nearly the amount of liberal damage that LBJ did by massively expanding entitlements.

Bads: He made the middle east the ****hole it continues to be today, almost destroyed the economy, and was the most organizationally dysfunctional president of the last century.

Yea, I LMAO when I heard him say that. He was implying that this is a common Christian belief. What church did he hear that in? And how many miles of back roads of Northern Idaho did he have to drive to get to it?

No Worthless One we do not believe that. Maybe God will be very pissed off if he comes looking for His Chosen people and we can’t explain what happened to them.

A weak reference to the millenial kingdom, I presume. In that kingdom, Christ will reign from the throne in Jerusalem. That kingdom will contain those who are in Christ - a group about which God's word has said there is neither Jew nor Gentile, male nor female, slave nor free.

The statement by Carter belies his claim to be a Christian. It drips of hatred for the whole truth.

“Carter: Christ will not return until all Jews are dead.”

For someone who proclaims to be a Christian he sure hasn’t read his Bible very much.

Carter basically says he will get a different result than Chamberlain got at Munich in 1938 because he has spent more time and effort schmoozing Hamas and the PLO than Neville spent schmoozing Hitler.

But, wait, it gets dumber. See this Carter quote:

Christians believe that in the second coming, Christ can't come back to the Holy Land until all Jews are either dead or become Christian.

I've know people from scores of brands of Christianity and have never once heard any of them making a statement even close to this. Is there anyone from even a tiny obscure sect who can collaborate what Jimmy says here. Isn't Jimmy a faux Baptist? Don't the Baptists believe (with most of Christendom) that the Jews will recognize Jesus as the Messiah when he comes the second time?

Or is Jimmy just playing the "moral equivalence" game again? (i.e. believing = actually killing)

A very loose interpretation of Revelations that can easily be shown not to be true. Medved correctly pointed out that NO Government has that in their charter. It is just a canard used by the Peanut Whisperer to claim that the Palis have a right to keep their current charter. Carter is completely owned by the Palis.

“Carter:—If you want to talk about ancient history, Christians believe that in the second coming, Christ can’t come back to the Holy Land until all Jews are either dead or become Christian.”

Where’s this from? Most Christian groups think that Christ’s return is depicted in Zechariah chapter 12—at which he fights for Israel and Israel sees the one they have pierced, mourn for him, and he gives them victory over all their surrounding enemies (like a messiah should).

There’s no sect outside of the Aryan Brotherhood which says that all the Jews will be dead or converts to Christianity before Christ returns.

I don’t even have to ask my loony-lefty mother, she’ll be there. She’s probably in the 6:00 pm group that has already sold out.

He was here about 8 years ago, signing his Christmas story book.

I took my kids to look at him for two reasons: (1) to see a former President, and (2) to see the worst President in history.

I didn’t by the book. Just took the kids to look at him.

Carter was stupid enough to say that on public airwaves?

What church affiliation does he have? Do they teach that in their services?

If I were a member of that denomination, I would demand his removal from the church.

This is beyond an outrage.

I wish I could just say Carter is a silly senile old fool, but it is not that simple.

He is really a hateful person.

The below is exactly what Carter said.

Carter:--If you want to talk about ancient history, Christians believe that in the second coming, Christ can't come back to the Holy Land until all Jews are either dead or become Christian.

I have NO clue where he gets his religion from it sure is NOT from the Bible.

I doubt that Jimmuh would have granted him a second interview no matter how it went, so why hold back?

I know of no Christian church or denomination that believes that. That doesn’t mean that there may be some out there on the fringes that do, but no where in the Bible does it actually say or infer such a thing.

So, I think he either made it up or repeated something he had been told by someone making it up that he believed (and of course wouldn’t know any better since he probably has never read or researched it). Probably one of his Islamic terrorists friends told him that in defense of their beliefs and of course Jimmy took their word for it, just like he took their word for all the other stuff they allegedly told him.

Yes. Jimmah must’ve borrowed “Sheets” Byrd’s Bible.

Zechariah 12:

8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

I just looked up this idiocy and I think that Carter is misinterpreting Paul. Paul talks about the Jews rejecting Christ as part of God’s plan to save the world. He says that before Christ returns again, for the final judgment, the elect Christians as well as the elect Jews will be called to him.

So, Carter is excusing his support of Hamas by thinking that the “elect Jews” will be “dead”? No, that’s not right, the bad Jews will be dead and the good Jews will be Christian. So, it appears that Carter does not believe in an after life, but believes in other prophesies.

I’ve been looking it up, and it appears to be a perversion of Paul’s words in Romans. Paul is explaining his ministry to the Gentiles and the fact that it doesn’t mean that God has forgotten his promise to the Israelites. He says that the elect (chosen, maybe?) Jews will be gathered up to join him, as well as the elect Christians (there’s that word again) before Christ’s second coming.

We know that all socialists love Paul. Jimmy Carter is a socialist. These Paul acolytes don’t believe in life after death, so to Jimmy Carter, the Jews will be dead. He just substituted “all” for “elect”.

Read Jimmy's interview transcript at the link.

Vendome is right. This is what most Christians-- and some Jews-- believe:

ZECHARIAH CHAPTER 12 (KJV)

1 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 ¶ And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the Lord, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hosts their God.
6 ¶ In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
7 The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
8 In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.
9 ¶ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.

It sounds rather clear to me that true Christians and true Jews will be allies in the last days. It doesn't address what will become of faux Christians and faux Jews.

So Jimmy's idiotic statement appears to be not only inconsistent with what Baptists believe, but also inconsistent with one of the prophets of the Old Testament.
