"A leading Evangelical US pastor has announced plans to hold a "night to honor Israel " in every major American city as part of an Evangelical political campaign.

Pastor John Hagee, a Christian leader from Texas, was given an award by the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus during a ceremony jointly held with the World Jewish Congress Monday night, to "honor our Christian allies."

Addressing the conference by a satellite-linked screen, Hagee delivered an emphatic speech, declaring: "It's time for us Christians in America , from coast to coast, to speak up for Israel."

"The pastor announced his plans for "a night to honor Israel in every major American city," adding: "Why is this happening? Some of you are secular Jews, this may be hard for you… This is happening by God. God almighty recognized that the integrity of his word was on the line."

1. Nevermind...

--- on edit:

I was thinking of Haggard, not Hagee. :dunce:

Hagee is salivating over the possibility of the deaths of millions of Jews

After all, his eschatological view of the Bible maintains that only 144,000 Jews will be "saved" and the rest will perish in Armageddon.

To Hagee and others of his ilk the Jews are just a means to an end. He cares for them only inasmuch as they do their "part" in fulfilling God's prophecy.

3. speak up for Israel?

oh that`s right--get all them jews back home and jesus is coming back and leaving behind all those jews who do`t except him. what`s worse is that there are jews who will by this shit from the "christians" who wish their destruction. i`m old enough to remember when these so called "christians" did not hide there disgust for the jews.
sometimes it`s really hard to defend my belief in the words of christ when these people bastardize them.

4. My .02...

There are many Christians who are loving and caring towards Jews and are also repentent over what has happened to the Jews because of other "Christians."

Please try to not lump all Christians into Rapturists.

5. Jews that reject Christ will be killed

This is what these crazy Xtian fundies believe. It is in their theology and their much quoted book of Revelation.

Their "love for Israel" and Jews is based on this:

1. They need Israel in order to have a Second Coming (and we are not talking about ejaculation here!).

2. When Jesus returns, every person and nation will bow down and accept him as G-d.

3. Those that refuse, will be destroyed!
