What Do You Feel About John Hagees' Teaching on the Jews...

So it's either Zionism or antisemitism, no possible middle ground?

The history of this board let's me know what will happen. Preterism seems to lend itself to this attitude. Often is is displayed in over exaggerations or out right falsehoods of Israel. I see it has already begun.

Has this ever bothered you?

John Hagee on Salvation for the Jews...

John Hagee, who pastors a church in Texas with an active membership of over 19,000 and who has a radio and television ministry that reaches 99 million homes, has written a book, which, by his own admission, is an attack on the very foundations of the Christian faith! In a video promoting his new book, Hagee makes the following claims:

“In Defense of Israel will shake Christian theology. It scripturally proves that the Jewish people as a whole did not reject Jesus as Messiah. It will also prove that Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah. It will prove that there was a Calvary conspiracy between Rome, the high priest, and Herod to execute Jesus as an insurrectionist too dangerous to live. Since Jesus refused by word and deed to claim to be the Messiah, how can the Jews be blamed for rejecting what was never offered? Read this shocking exposѐ, In Defense of Israel.”

So what do you think...
He fits the very people peter said will come and deny the Master!
IF there is anything the Bible shows to us, its that Jesus claimed to be the Promised Messiah of God, and was himself also God, and that the church just testified and bore witness to what he Himself saw who he was!

Is Hagee in the pay of the godless nation that calls itself Israel? The nation that benefits from billions of dollars of U.S. taxes? The nation protected by U.S. armaments and stolen nuclear secrets? The nation that steals Palestinian land and water, and operates a stranglehold on whole areas of Palestine, and discriminates against Christians and Muslims, AND Jewish and multifaith peace workers.

The nation that totally disregards the OT prophets call for justice.

I suggest Hagee and his followers reread the Gospels without Zionist blinders.
I would like to know how israel is so bad, as they are not the ones that started the wars in Middle east all those years, it was the Arabs, and they are not the ones who see it is their mission to kill off all of them, as that are the Arabs who follow Muslim Islam in that region!

IF one knows History, there is really no way to not see how God has protected them in those wars since WW II!

The Bishop of Rome and the One Universal (Catholic) Christian Church has been around for millennia, Mr. Hagee's church, like yours, simply hasn't.
Actually, Baptists trace back to the Church at Pentecost, in the sense that we hold to true Apostolic doctrines, unlike Church of Rome!

That book is old. I like John Hagee, so I tried to pretend I never read that part of the book.

Cults have been around for milleniums, but they are still cults. Rome has its cult of personality and it isn't Jesus.

I do not consider Hagee to be a Christian, just as I consider Joel Osteen to be a heretic. Both congregations are being lead by a wolf in sheeps clothing.

They are your denomination. Sola Scriptura.

Part of your mess.

Says half a sliver of 1% independent denomination. Wait no I want to join your denomination where is the official website again? what are they called? Is it "Jesus's church"? The "real believers"?

No one here knows what the heck you are, menno, just another fringe faith that dropped out from another.

We couldn't join your denomination if we wanted to, Because you don't even know what the heck it is.

If your pastor got on here sure enough you'd tell him he's wrong.


Give me a web link to ONE LIVING SOUL who has the faith right more then you do.

I take Hagee with a grain of salt. I get a feeling there is more stated and context than this quote. I can see some of where he's coming from, but what I believe that is similar is for a different reason. For example, Jesus did claim he was Messiah, but not always as there are passages where he tells his disciples not to reveal who he is. Likewise, he taught in parables just so that people COULD NOT understand thus filtering out the ones with the (future) mind of the spirit. It would rest with them until the Spirit was given, then come back to recollection. This does not mean they are ultimately lost, but just not saved then. This gets into predestination vs free choice, house of Israel vs house of Judah (i.e. lost ten tribes of Israel) and so forth. I don't think Hagee sees this the way I do, and I suppose to the average Christian I'm just as goofy as Hagee, but that's how we Isaac Newton types are. We like to dig deeper and understand the depth of things as in science and mathematics. What I am saying are 2 things basically: 1) I don't have enough info to make a judgement, but what I do know about Hagee I don't fully agree despite some truths, and 2) This is far too complex of a subject in that this involves a major piece of what the bible is about. There's not enough room for it all.

I do not know much of what Hagee teaches now. I did listen to his sermons at one time (I agreed with a lot of what he had to say). But I also watched him on television basically preach that the Jews did not need to believe in Jesus because they were in a covenant relationship with God. That was the end of my Hagee experience. I have not listened to him or kept up with anything he has said since (this was about three years ago...I think).

Most Baptists around here try to go all the way back to John The Baptist.

The problem with that is that even the churches of Acts, while united in Christ, seem to have had distinctions that would be denominational issues today (some seem to have had more of a charismatic influence, others struggled with legalism, some were very Jewish in their practices, others not so much).

I personally only try to take it back to the Anabaptists.
