The World Council of Churches Buddies Up to Hezbollah
Christianity Today ^ | 8/30/06 | Petra Heldt

Posted on 08/30/2006 7:52:31 AM PDT by ZGuy

In July, the WCC released a statement.

The WCC refuses to name Hezbollah, defends the terrorists and reproaches the victims for their self-defense. The letter attacks democratic countries, shields militia groups from blame, and challenges "the concept of war on terror."

This letter tells the reader that there is no difference between the victim and the attacker.

Not only does the letter fail to condemn Hezbollah terrorists for their crimes, but it condemns G8 members who are seeking a solution to those crimes.

Hezbollah's rocket campaign against Israeli civilians seems to be entirely Israel's fault. The Jewish state is the root of the bloodshed. The defenders against terrorism become offenders, and the victims turn into aggressors.

Having replaced the victim with the attacker, the message blames the victim, and not the terrorist, for the deaths caused in areas of terror, not only in Lebanon, but anywhere.

The WCC seems to advise Christians not to defend themselves, saying that Hezbollah requires protection, and that churches should submit to the rule of Hezbollah.

The statement contains two measures which the member churches are expected to take up: The demilitarization of the defenders without requesting the same for the terrorists. In addition to surrendering to the terrorists, churches need to protect the terrorists from others who might fight them.

The WCC calls on member churches to take a hostile attitude against the values of Western societies that put obstacles in the path of militant Islam. The WCC invites its member churches to submit to militant Islam and to defend it from being fought against. The picture of a perfect dhimmi appears—one who justifies the Muslim ruler's policy, blames non-Muslims for evil, and defends the Muslim ruler against attackers.

Does the WCC have an explanation for why it is so out of line?

So if someone attacks the WCC and starts killing off its members, we should just watch?

No, they were formed as a Soviet front group and never had 'The Way' to lose.

The World Council of Churches has finally found a religion
that they can agree with. Jesus said, "You won't receive
Me, but someone will come in his own name and you will
receive him". This is the religion of Rick Warren who says
that the greatest threat to the world in the 21st Century
is fundamentalist Christianity.

Hmmm...last time I read the Gospels, Jesus commanded that
we follow his fundamentals?!?

Please not that the Catholic Church is not a member of this Coven.

No kidding? The greatest threat to Christianity must be Rick Warren if what you said is accurate. He seems rather full of himself--He was interviewed on some program I caught while channel surfing.
