Just received this E-mail from Baldwin - What are your thougths?

Pastor Chuck Baldwin’s teachings depict the Israelites as responsible for global turmoil and genocide in Gaza, including the destruction of five countries.

He claims the Zionist State of Israel, founded in 1948, is not the prophetic or Biblical Israel reborn, but an atheistic, antichrist imitation destined to share the fate of other nations that turn from God.

Baldwin’s research claims that Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to a genocidal campaign, framed as fulfilling false and propagandistic biblical prophecy, with the goal of creating a state solely for Jews while denying Palestinians their fundamental rights.

He warns that the nation will celebrate its violent victories, honor war criminals, dismantle the ICC, set up its own criminal court, and wipe out any record of its alleged crimes.

He calls on Christians to reclaim their moral authority, reject PAX Zionism, and confront what he sees as the spiritual blindness and hypocrisy that allows support for actions causing immense human suffering.

Netanyahu appears to have fallen short, running into challenges in the conflict with Iran and offering little concrete evidence that Israel is making headway in dismantling Iran’s nuclear program or pushing for regime change, all while costing American lives and adding to the hardship Americans face from economic and energy crises.

This seems to have sped up the decline of the Zionist state, as seventy percent of Americans disapprove of the Zionist regime being funded by American tax dollars.

No state is naturally entitled to exist, but every person has an undeniable right to self-determination.

An occupying, oppressive regime cannot genuinely claim self-defense against those it controls, while people under occupation have a natural right to resist and defend themselves against their oppressors.

Evangelical Dispensationalists, sometimes called the Zio-Christian Right, believe the creation of Zionist Israel in 1948—enabled by Great Britain’s 1917 Balfour Declaration, influenced by the Rothschild banking empire, and spurred by Theodor Herzl and the early World Zionist Organization in 1897—fulfills Old Testament prophecy.

Yet, the New Covenant of Christ suggests no such promise was made to the Israelites under Moses. In fact, as the mediator of that covenant, Moses warned of Israel’s eventual downfall and destruction in his final book, Deuteronomy.

It’s fair to say that many evangelicals have turned Zionist Israel into a mix of idol, cash cow, and lucrative venture, with Christian Zionists like Mike Huckabee, the late Lindsey Graham, John Hagee, Robert Jeffress, and Franklin Graham themselves engaging in what could be seen as blasphemy and idolatry.

The Chosen, by Chaim Potok is a Young Adult fiction story published in 1967.
It tells the story of two Jewish boys, one Hasidic, the other Conservative, during the mid-to late 1940's.
Their father's were prominent teachers in their culture and took polar opposite positions on Zionist Israel.
Taking a position on the state of Israel is not only a Christian issue.

I personally am influenced by dispensationalism, believing that the land of Israel still has some role in God's plan.
However the state of Israel, as a diverse political entity, is not necessarily part of that plan.
I am quite suspicious of those that make it a central part of futurist prophecy.

I am careful to separate myself from the political issues involving the state of Israel but can still pray for God to work out his plan in the region.
That being said, Israel as a political entity is surrounded by Moslem states with a long history of antisemitist atrocities.
Their position in the region is quite unique.

Baldwin is an antigovernment Christian dominionist, Replacement Theology pastor whose tenure in the Patriot world predates his involvement with Oath Keepers. Baldwin gained national notoriety in 2010 when he moved his congregation from Florida to the Flathead Valley in Montana as part of his belief in a coming biblical conflict.

In April 2014 Baldwin delivered a fiery sermon to a gathering of antigovernment patriots and militiamen who joined Cliven Bundy and his family in an armed standoff against Bureau of Land Management agents.





On 2 April Chuck Baldwin, a prominent Christian minister in the USA, wrote in a Facebook post that it is a ‘biblical requirement’ for every American adult to own an AR-15 or similar assault rifle. Referring, presumably, to 1 Timothy 5:8, he wrote, ‘Christians who are not prepared to defend themselves, their families and their communities “have denied the faith and are worse than infidels.”’ And pastors teaching otherwise are ‘heretics’.

Hmmm. I have always thought that Baldwin and his son have White Supremacist leanings. Not absolutely WS, but in that direction at least.
