Luke 9:52-56, “And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.”
I love this story. It encourages me to see the immaturity of Jesus' disciples, considering that I (and you dear reader) also have immaturities which we have had to overcome in life. The disciples were just ordinary men, not spiritual special ops. There are no Rambo Christians. We are all Elmer Fudd Christians. We are all Barney Rubble believers. No saint is a shining example of what the rest of us saints should be, if the truth be known. 1st Timothy 5:24, “Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.” In other words, every saint of God has a Skeleton Closet of sins.
Jesus and His disciples had entered into a city of the Samaritans. They preached the Gospel of free grace to the people, but tragically the townsfolks rejected the Good News. In response, the disciples asked Jesus if they should pray down fire from Heaven to destroy the village. Jesus rebuked them, saying that they were out of their right minds, because He came to save men's lives, not destroy their lives. Oh, what a great truth we learn here from Christ Himself, that we ought to unconditionally love every human being on the face of the planet. These people adamantly rejected Jesus as their Savior, yet He loved them and still hoped that they would repent (change their mind) from unbelief to belief to be saved.
Having said that, I have been flabbergasted lately as I listen to the mainstream news, and search social media, and I see professed Christian pastors calling for Christians in churches everywhere to only support Israel, not the poor people in Palestine. Folks, that is sinful. The Bible teaches that God is not a respecter of persons, and neither should we be (Romans 2:11; James 2:1).
One pastor in particular who disgusts me is Robert Jeffress of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, Texas. He has appeared numerous times on Fox News, to spew his rhetoric. Years ago on Fox News I even heard Pastor Jeffress foolishly call for the preemptive nuking of Arab nations. They guy is a religious nutcase! I'd expect a nutty Jewish cabinet minister in Israel to call for nuking Gaza, but not a Baptist pastor!
Just last month on October 9, 2023 Pastor Jeffress wrote an article on his 'Pathway To Victory' ministry website, calling for all evangelical Christians to support Israel, but not Palestine. His reasoning is that Israel is a proper nation-state, but Hamas is not. Notice how Jeffress redirects the issue to make it Israel versus Hamas, instead of Israel versus the poor people in Gaza. So far Israel has brutally murdered over 9,000 innocent Palestinians in Gaza, all in the name of defeating Hamas. What wickedness! Sadly, 3,600 of those Palestinian victims of Israel were children. That's like the police murdering 1,000 kids in a public grade school in Chicago, because they needed to catch one criminal. I am absolutely shocked that the United State government is tolerating and sanctioning this brutal massacre of innocent people.
The truth dear reader is that the Palestinian people want their own proper nation-state, but neither the U.S. government or Israel cares enough about them to make it happen. Can you blame them for wanting their own nation in Palestine? Last month I heard the president of Israel call the Palestinian people “human animals.” The poor people in Gaza have no military. Yes, Hamas is a terrorist organization, but Israel is to blame for creating it. President John F. Kennedy was absolutely right, who said: “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” The Hamas group simply want recognition for the Arab peoples living in Palestine.
All the fighting began and has continued, since May of 1948 when U.S. and British soldiers forced Arabs from their homes in Palestine at gunpoint, to give the land to Jewish settlers to create present-day manmade Israel. Israel today is NOT the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. According to Hosea 3:4-5, God will not restore Israel as a true nation until they repent toward God, which will happen at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Israel today is no different than any other heathen nation. Only 1.9% of Israel's population profess faith in Jesus Christ. And that sadly includes all the pseudo-Christian religious cults (e.g., Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh-Day Adventists, et cetera). I dare say that 1 in 500 residents living in Israel today are genuine born-again saints of God. Holy Land? I think not.
Here's some honest questions for my Christian brethren, who believe Israel can do no wrong:
- Where would you like Palestinians to go?
- Has not the same God of the Jews sent His only begotten Son, to die for the sins of the rest of the world too? (1st John 2:2)
- Do you really know the heart of Christ, when you wish for the destruction of those you don't like? (Matthew 5:43-44)
I think it would be a good idea, for the Palestinians to come to America where they can be treated like people instead of animals, and be evangelized for Christ with the Gospel. Since Israel views them as dogs and do not believe in Jesus, American Christians can fill the gap.
Palestinian doesn't mean Muslim. There are many Christians today living and suffering in Gaza. There are 2,000,000 Arab people living in the Gaza Strip. Remove the hatred, racism, and Zionism from your heart, oh Christian, and be the light God intended you to be. Let the Gentile world know that Jesus died for their sins too, and desires for them to be His people as well. No unsaved Jew is one of God's chosen people, according to Romans 2:28-29 and Galatians 3:26-29. The inspired Holy Bible is very clear in this matter.
Sadly, Pastor Robert Jeffress accuses radical Islamic Arabs of chopping off peoples heads, but says Christians would never do that. I seem to recall that the United States murdered 1,455,590 innocent people during the Iraqi War (2003-2011), and 90% of churches in America rallied behind that war criminal monster, President George W. Bush. Hell is coming up to greet the Bush family when they die. Marvin Bush was largely responsible for planting the demolition explosives that brought down World Trade Center buildings 1, 2 and 7 on 9/11. Marvin Bush headed up the security company that handled all WTC security for the 2-years leading up to 9/11, which gave them complete building access.

Marvin P. Bush, the president’s younger brother, was a principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport. The company, Burns noted, was backed by KuwAm, a Kuwaiti-American investment firm on whose board Marvin Burns also served.
According to its present CEO, Barry McDaniel, the company had an ongoing contract to handle security at the World Trade Center "up to the day the buildings fell down."
The company lists as government clients "the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S Air force, and the Department of Justice," in projects that "often require state-of-the-art security solutions for classified or high-risk government sites."
Stratesec (Securacom) differs from other security companies which separate the function of consultant from that of service provider. The company defines itself as a "single-source" provider of "end-to-end" security services, including everything from diagnosis of existing systems to hiring subcontractors to installing video and electronic equipment. It also provides armored vehicles and security guards.
The Dulles International contract is another matter. Dulles is regarded as "absolutely a sensitive airport," according to security consultant Wayne Black, head of a Florida-based security firm, due to its location, size, and the number of international carriers it serves.
Black has not heard of Stratesec, but responds that for one company to handle security for both airports and airlines is somewhat unusual. It is also delicate for a security firm serving international facilities to be so interlinked with a foreign-owned company: "Somebody knew somebody," he suggested, or the contract would have been more closely scrutinized.
As Black points out, "when you [a company] have a security contract, you know the inner workings of everything." And if another company is linked with the security company, then "What's on your computer is on their computer."
Copyright 2003 Joe Shea, 'The American Reporter. All Rights Reserved'It is tragic what is going on in this world. Life is so frail. Back in February of 2023, there were 50,000 people killed from two massive earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria. So sad. Most Americans went about their quiet daily routine and never even heard about the event. Similarly, many Americans today are oblivious to the 9,000 murdered Palestinians in Gaza, collectively punished for something they had nothing to do with by Hamas. Life is so cheap in the Middle East. Israel hasn't the least hesitation to murder Palestinians, and force more refugees to flee the region for fear of their life. No one should have to live like that. Israel today is a hateful state, full of arrogance and pride. They certainly are NOT God's chosen people!
Most Christians misunderstand the Holy Bible, because they have been deceitfully misled by corrupt pastors and evangelists, who are biased and unlearned in the Scriptures. The ungodly president of Israel a couple weeks ago, was shown in mainstream news quoting Bible verses to justify murdering Palestinians with thousands of deadly missiles and bombs. How ironic, for a president who vehemently rejects Jesus as the Messiah. That is so typical of ungodly Jews in Israel today, who selectively pick and choose what parts of the Holy Bible they want to follow. And let me make it clear, I love the Jewish people and am NOT anti-Semite in any way. Racism is a horrible sin! I am anti-corruption. I equally love the Gentiles as much as the Jews. I love the Arab and Muslim people just as much as I love Jews and those who follow the demonic false religion of Judaism. I love everybody with God's unconditional love, and that means you too dear friend. Nobody can be right with God and hate a single living human soul. You either love everybody, or you truly don't love anybody.
Search Google or Duck Duck Go, and you will find quickly, that evangelicals all across America are supportive of Israel, but don't give a damn about the people in Gaza. Case in point is the apostasy at Christianity Today (run today by infidel pastor, Franklin Graham, a Zionist shill). That is wickedness!!! It is the sin of being a respecter of persons. Why doesn't Christianity Today support Gaza under attack? Sadly, America's so-called “Christians” are ungodly prejudiced bigots!
Here is another example: Pastor Greg Locke in Tennessee last month public said that Israel should turn Palestine into a parking lot! ...
Evangelical Pastor Greg Locke of Tennessee calls for the annihilation of all non-Jews in the Holy Land and urges the destruction of the Muslim Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem’s Old City. This is the voice of the dragon (Protestant America), who, through his misinterpretations of the book of Revelation, encourages genocide and war. SOURCE
I once saw an intriguing photo in a book by Christian author, Salem Kirban. The photo was from the 1960's during the American hippie movement. The photo showed a police officer with a Billy Club, hitting a long-haired young man (a protester). Salem Kirban put a caption which read: “What do you see? Do you see a young punk getting what he deserves? Or do you see a thug police officer who is abusing his authority? What you should see as a Christian is two people who need Jesus Christ.” I love that caption and I've never forgotten it, because it is so true. The entire Middle East region needs Jesus Christ. That is, they need to be BORN AGAIN. Jesus said in John 3:1-7 that unless a man be born-again, he cannot enter into God's Kingdom. John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
I love the Jews. I love the Arabs. I love Jews, but I hate Judaism. I love Arabs, but I hate Islam. I hate those false religions because they are evil and false, sending people to Hell. The Bible is very clear that no man can get to God the father, except by way of God the Son. John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
