Why is US church sending Jews to the trash-heap of history?
FoxNews.com ^ | February 18, 2014 | Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein

Presbyterian churches are teaching that their Jewish neighbors are inherently racist and prone to abusing the rights of others.

That’s the key message of PCUSA’s new congregational study guide, “Zionism Unsettled.” Released by its Israel-Palestine Mission Network, the guide “explores the theological and ethical exceptionalism of Jewish and Christian Zionism, which have been sheltered from open debate despite the intolerable human rights abuses rooted in their core beliefs.”

To be clear, this is no mere attack on Israeli policies, but rather on the very legitimacy of the Zionist enterprise.

PCUSA has theologically resurrected the UN’s infamous 1975 “Zionism is Racism” resolution (later rescinded). It puts all on notice that lovers of Zion -- Jews and Christians alike -- are bigots.

PCUSA’s depiction of Zionism as a sin fills a niche in the global political campaign casting Israel as an illegitimate colonial/historic mistake. It also means that a major (albeit ageing and shrinking) mainline Protestant denomination declares the majority of Jews to be a bunch of morally decadent untermenschen, worthy of condemnation and disparagement. Will the faithful now be taught that Jews are people like us, just a little less so?

Christian means trusting on Christ to save your eternal life. Period.

"...and whosover believith in Him..."

I think your theology is correct.

Got to be careful in calling a church that has doctrine problems not Christian.

It’s an easy, and fallacious, recourse.

Who is Christ? Is Christ a pro-homosexual pro-sexual perversion person?

Or is Christ the risen Son of God, whose is described in the bible and, as the author of the bible, means exactly what He said therein?

I believe in the Christ of the bible. I do my best to follow Him by following what HE tells us to do.

I don't know who the PCUSA is following but if they are promoting homosexuality then they are not following the Christ of the bible.

You cannot be a Christian for long and still support what Christ calls abomination. Either you embrace perversion and reject Christ, or you reject perversion and embrace Christ. The two are mutually exclusive.

(To the best of my knowledge) The PCUSA has formally embraced perversion.

Apostate churches have a doctrine problem, they are also no longer christian. While the church may have abandoned the faith, individuals may not have. But if your confessional standards are contrary to what the bible says, the fruit of that disbelief will show.
