FARAH SAYS CHRISTIAN MAGAZINE HAS
UNBIBLICAL VIEW OF "WHAT IT MEANS TO LOVE ISRAEL"

A Christian journalist says Christianity Today magazine is ignoring both history and Bible prophecy regarding the nation of Israel.

A Christianity Today editorial titled "What It Means to Love Israel" praises evangelicals who favor the creation of a so-called "Palestinian state" and accuses dispensationalist Christians of supporting what it calls the Israeli "occupation" of millions of Palestinians. The article also warns evangelicals to "beware of attributing too much theological meaning to the state of Israel and not enough to the Jewish people."

Joseph Farah, the editor of WorldNetDaily, says the movement for Palestinian statehood and "self-determination" that Christianity Today is embracing is "a front for the agenda of eradicating Israel."

"What they are really accusing some evangelicals of doing, I guess, is taking their Bible too literally, taking it too seriously," he says, adding sarcastically, "You know, when it says that God has an eternal covenant with the Jewish people, oh you know, he really doesn't mean eternal or covenant."

Farah says the establishment of a Palestinian state would mark the first time in the history of mankind in which a state is created by international mandate where no such state or peoples ever existed. And the "two-state solution" advocated by Christianity Today is not a solution, he says, but rather a "capitulation to Palestinian terrorism."

"Christianity Today really has determined for us -- and all of Christianity, I guess -- what it means to love Israel," he states. "And apparently, what it means to the editors over there is slicing Israel up geographically and turning over most of the historically Jewish lands to Israel's most bitter enemies, people who are sworn to eradicate this tiny Jewish presence in the Middle East."

Farah says for the life of him, he cannot understand what is "Christian" about forcing Israel to turn over Judea, Samaria, and half of Jerusalem to Palestinian Authority terrorists.

"Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and LET US CUT THEM OFF FROM BEING A NATION; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. ... Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: that men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth." (Psalm 83:1-8, 17-18)
