Palestinian evangelical in “propaganda tour” of Brazil

Christian leader questions Open Doors's sponsorship of 'anti-Israel' message

Michael Carl

A Christian leader in Brazil says he’s alarmed by what he regards as a campaign by evangelicals to spread pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli propaganda.

Julio Severo, a pro-family activist and blogger, told WND he’s concerned about a speaking tour in Brazil that features Bethlehem Bible College President Emeritus Bishara Awad in support of Open Doors, International.

Severo told WND that at an event in Brazil, Awad spoke of “the Palestinian plight provoked by Israel.”

“He did not mention anything about Muslim violence against Christians,” Severo said.

Severo worries that the tour will gain credibility because of the sponsorship.

“I am only a very small Christian, and to expose Open Doors for opening doors to such anti-Israel, Christian Palestinianism is a big challenge,” Severo said.

“In the speech, he mentioned that he and his people are under occupation,” Severo said.

Bethlehem Bible College is the host of the controversial Christ at the Checkpoint Conference. The Jerusalem Post quoted Awad as being critical of American evangelicals’ support of Israel.

Maybe these ‘Christians’ will volunteer to fight against Israel with the rest of the World at Armagheddon; and Jesus will return and wipe out the whole mess of them...

There’s a whole lot of “christians” who are nothing of the sort.

Losers.

Not sure how this guy was invited to speak, or if we are only hearing part of his message.

Open Doors is a solidly Christian and non-political organization. I was involved with them in the 70’s and early 80’s - there was no question that they were at the forefront of missionary work behind severely closed doors.

In the late 70’s Brother Andrew started working more with Christians in Muslim countries.

There is more to this story than what we are hearing here.
