The political agenda of
territorial expansion advocated by Christian
Zionists has given rise to the brutal injustices against Palestinians,
which
fuels the
fires of
militancy in the Middle East.
While Jewish Zionism began with the hope that all Jewish people would
have a
safe and peaceful dwelling place, these corruptors of the gospel Christ
preached, adhere to a 200 year old convoluted interpretation of
disparate
scriptures that they have chosen to weave together to support their fear
based
judgmental narrow minded doctrine.
This heretical theology of
Premellenial Dispensation worships a god of Armageddon and not the God
of love,
forgiveness and compassion that Jesus/The Prince of Peace modeled even
while
being nailed to a cross.
The
Left Behind series of fiction is the
epitome of what millennium of theologians have always understood to be
what the term anti-Christ
is truly about
The term "Antichrist" never
appears in John's Revelation or Daniel, two disparate works of
literature
written three centuries apart and under very different circumstances,
yet the
Left Behinder's weave them together.
The small texts that mention the "Antichrist" were written to attack the
Gnostic understanding of whom Christ was. A Gnostic relies on intuition
and not
on dogma and doctrine. Gnostic's were most certainly free spirits and
most all
of the writings we have about Gnostics, have been the attacks upon them.
That
all changed when the Nag Hamadi Library was translated and published,
for what
had been deemed heretical by those in power in the fourth century can
now be
read in most every language.
Biblical scholars today agree that many books of the Bible were written
by
others in the name of an apostle, for the quickest way to gain
credibility is
to trade on another's reputation. We may never know if the author who
coined
the term "Antichrist" was actually the apostle John who wrote I John and
2
John-the only sources where the term appears.
John also say's much more: "Dear Children, as you have heard that the
Antichrist is coming, even now many have come."- I John 2:18
"This is how we know who the children of God are not: anyone who does
not do
right; nor anyone who does not love his brother."-I John 3:10
"If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has
no
pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Let us love with actions
and in
truth."-I John 3:17
"God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. There
is no
fear in love. Perfect love drives out all fear because fear has to do
with
punishment [and God is love]."-1 John 4:18
The theology promoted in the Left
Behind fiction is a theology based on fear
and punishment.
These misinformed Christians
worship a punitive father as God. They do not have eyes to see that
nature is
God's primary temple, and war the greatest abomination. Next Page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 (Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).
The theology of the fictional Left
Behind series is the epitome of the spirit
of the anti-Christ: which is the evil within ones own heart that leads
one to
fear "the other" and compels them to violence.
According to Christ, to be his follower, one must do what the Father
requires.
The Hebrew prophet Micah summed it up best: "What does the Lord
require? He
has already told you o'man: Be Just, Be Merciful and walk humbly with
your
God." -Micah 6:8:
