I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils. (I Corinthians 10:20-21)
I invite readers to watch it. It was my annual end-of-the-year message. The title of this column (and the message) succinctly summarizes what happened to a large percentage of evangelicals during the past year.
Most evangelicals labor under the delusion that modern Judaism is the same as the religion of the Old Testament Israelites. It is not. Modern Judaism is the religion of the Pharisees who hated and crucified Jesus (Acts 4:8 – 12) and persecuted and murdered His apostles and the Early Church. Modern Judaism is a mixture of the oral traditions (Matthew 15:3 – 9) of the Christ-rejecting Pharisees and the occult teachings of Kabbalism and Chabadism.
But let’s set that reality aside for a moment. Even if you believe that the Ashkenazi Jews in Palestine are God’s chosen people, does that mean you should condone and justify their wickedness? Jehovah Himself, the One Who chose Old Covenant Israel, did not condone and justify their wickedness. He utterly destroyed the nations of both Judah and Israel for their wickedness. The Assyrians, Babylonians and Romans were God’s instruments of judgment against His chosen people.
Born-again Christians are Christ’s Chosen People (John 6:70; Ephesians 1:4; II Thessalonians 2:13).
Should evangelicals condone and justify everything professing Christians do?
If someone you know who professes to be a Christian committed premeditated murder, would you condone or justify it? Would you condone and justify it if they committed serial murders? Would you condone and justify it if they set fire to hospitals, schools and churches? Would you condone and justify it if they committed acts of torture and barbarism against little children and babies? Would you condone and justify it if they tortured and raped little girls, young women and elderly women and men?
