Do Fundamentalist Christians Want to Kill Jews?


I no longer consider myself a fundamentalist, but liberals would call me one because I do believe the Bible is God's word.  And I am convinced that that branch of Christian theology to which I once adhered, known as dispensationalism (which represents the theology of nearly all fundamentalists), and it's offspring Christian Zionism, is an IMMEDIATE, LETHAL THREAT to Orthodox Christianity, which is best represented by that branch of Christian theology known as Covenant Theology.  I do not overstate that threat.  (See my series on dispensationalism and covenant theology beginning here.

However, though I oppose their theology as it pertains to the future and Israel, I do not go along with misrepresenting my fundamentalist brother's views nor do I go along with manufacturing evil motives that my brothers do not posses.  While fundamentalism/dispensationalism may be a threat to good theology, it is not in any way whatsoever a threat to human beings.  To the contrary, they are among the truest friends both a individual and a nation can have. 

Mark Alan Siegel, chairman of Florida’s Palm Beach County Democratic Party, told an interviewer the following about what he thinks about Christians and their relationship with Jews:

“The Christians just want us to be there so we can be slaughtered and converted and bring on the second coming of Jesus Christ.
“The worst possible allies for the Jewish state are the fundamentalist Christians who want Jews to die and convert so they can bring on the second coming of their Lord. It is a false friendship. They are seeking their own ends and not ours.
“I don’t believe the fundamentalists urging a greater Israel are friends of the Jewish state.”

Mr. Siegel commits a gross error when he says that fundamentalists “want” the Jews to be killed. As far as I’m concerned, that statement blackens out any light that might have otherwise shown. While vast majority of fundamentalists (i.e., dispensationalists) are unaware of the contradictory nature of their theology, and have not thought through the consequences of their notions, they nevertheless do not WANT Jews to die.  It’s preposterous to think such a thing.  They are indeed Christian Zionists and it is equally preposterous to allege that they are not friends of modern Israel.

I suspect that Siegel, like all liberal jews, is opposed to all forms of expressive religion, not just Christian Fundamentalism. He is a secularist above all else, and that’s the motivation for his rant.  He is anxious over the fundamentalists either because he himself is actually opposed to Zionism or he is a Zionist himself but strongly desires to exclude Christians from the movement.  Either one could be the case.  But no matter the case, his statements are irrational, and it's unfortunate that this type of lie spreads among mankind.

  1. We each own our person and our property and any transgression against such is against The Spirit of God. When a Jew steals an Arabs land it is theft plain and simple. The Arab owned that land because they were born there and their immediate relatives were born there. It is their land. A Jew can't come along who wasn't born on the land and take from them who were born on the land. This is Spirit 101.

    It's one thing to be blind to evil, thus not taking part in it, bit it is quite another to be blind to The Spirit, thus not taking part in it.

  2. Believing in Jesus means believing in his innocense. Read the Gospels. How many people on Earth would think that he deserved to be crucified? Not many! But the Bible itself condemns Jesus to death because he broke the Sabbath and claimed to be God, etc. The Bible is evil and the God you worship, the one who murders and eternally burns people who are not "Christian", who are atheists, or who are homosexual, is not God at all, but Satan. You bow to a murderer. The Jews bow to a liar, a thief, and a murderer when they steal land. You don't know what Spirit is until you've been oppressed, spat upon, stolen from, attempted to have your soul stolen, and witnessed murders and torture committed in Gods name. When God shows up all the tribes will mourn because their tribalism stole their humanity, including the treacherous " Haman-esque" so-called "Christianity".
