Excuse me, Mr. ChristianSTEIN, but this is the position of every Christian believer from Clement to Irenaeus , from Athanasius to Augustine, from Luther to Calvin, from Knox to Edwards, and from Whitefield to Spurgeon. In fact, this is the one Christian doctrine agreed to by every single branch of professing Christendom. Roman Catholics. Eastern Orthodox. Reformed Protestants. It’s the most unanimously consented doctrine in history, up until a bizarre Irish sect had a novel idea in 1821. Consider the founders of our nation: The Puritans. The Pilgrims. The Congregationalists and Presbyterians and Anglicans. The very Christians who trailblazed for us religious liberty, like Roger Williams, and those who paid for it in their own blood, like Obadiah Holmes. They all held this belief, strongly. Do you remember learning about - or having the memorize - John Winthrop’s famous “Sermon that Founded America,”when you were a kid in school? His “Shining City on a Hill” was a treatise in Covenant Theology, the point of which is that Christians are Zion. Did you miss that day? This is the theology that’s the foundation of our nation. From the Ivy League seminaries to the Methodist Circuit Riders to Baptist sodbusters, this was once our religion. This is the belief of all of the great Confessions. The Westminster, Heidelberg, Augsburg, Concord, the Second London, the Belgic, Canons of Dort, the Thirty Nine Articles, et al. This is their theology. Back before we lobotomized kids in church by singing-vegetable cartoons produced by a gay race communist, we taught them this theology with songs like, “Father Abraham Had Many Sons, manu sons had Father Abraham, I am one of them and so are you…” How did you miss this? So when you look at this from @CarriePrejean1 and think this is new, or bizarre, or unlearned, you’re betraying your own vast ignorance about what Christians have historically believed. I understand you’re in a bubble full of Christian Zionists who think your view is normal, but in the scheme of things, your doctrine is the equivalent of a fidget spinner. It looks fun, it’s novel, and everybody is gonna have it for a while. But in time, you’ll look back and wonder why it was ever a fad. Israel spends 145 million per year, directly propagandizing American evangelicals, engaging in a decades-old foreign messaging schemes to influence our Christian views and bend our theology toward Israel through paid agitprops like Christians United for Israel, Friends of Zion, Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries, Faith By Works, Clocktower LLC, etc. They drop fortunes on Potemkin tours and religious influencer kickbacks and pay to write our Sunday School literature, all to keep meddling with our historic beliefs. But for the love of God, pick up a theology textbook written prior to the 20th Century (preferably the Bible) and free yourself from the notion that those who have chosen to reject Christ are somehow the chosen ones of God. It is only those who believe in Jesus who are the children of Abraham and heirs of the promise (Galatians 3).
