Exposing Christian Zionism During A Time of Genocide in Gaza

Regis Tremblay of Dateline News & Conversations interviewed Tom Compton of We Hold These Truths on Christian Zionism. With over 23,000 Palestinians murdered in Gaza at this point, the situation is becoming a human catastrophe there while American churches are silent, for the most part, in calling for peace and a cease-fire in Gaza. Learn why this is so in this interview.

Tom met Regis in 2013 when he hosted a film showing of Regis' remarkable documentary, The Ghosts of Jeju in Phoenix, AZ. Regis describes his film: "This is my award-winning, blockbuster film about the people of Jeju Island, S. Korea who had been protesting the construction of a large naval base in the village of Gangjeong to accommodate Obama's "pivot to Asia." Now completed, it has destroyed this pristine, UNESCO-protected environment as well as the livelihoods of the farmers and fishermen who have lived there for 500 years. What I discovered was shocking! The US Government of Korea which occupied S. Korea at the end of WWII, feared a peasant uprising against this occupation and rose up against it in massive protests. Fearing a "communist" uprising, the US military organized, trained, armed, and commanded a militia of Koreans and ordered a crackdown on these unarmed peasants. From 1946-47, as many as 50,000 peasants were massacred in what was essentially a free-fire zone on the entire island.

Christian Zionism, Where Theology Tramples Compassion

Jeremy Nell on his TNT internet radio show, Jerm Warfare interviews Tom Compton of We Hold These Truths about the theology of Christian Zionism and how it relates to Israel's current punitive war on Gaza. At the time of the interview over 11,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel. Over 4,000 of those killed were children.

We Hold These Truths has conducted over 200 vigils since 2002 like this one at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting in Phoenix.

Jeremy Nell is an award-winning political cartoonist from South Africa, whose work has been featured in numerous publications, in various languages, around the world since 2005. His website Jerm Warfare and podcasts, discuss counter-narrative ideas, and have featured some of the greatest minds in the world, such as Robert Kennedy, David Icke, Victor Davis Hanson, Peter McCullough, John McAfee, and Scott Adams.

Max Blumenthal Gives A Jewish Perspective on Christian Zionism

Max Blumenthal with The Gray Zone has been a long-time supporter of justice for the Palestinians. In Killing Gaza, journalists Dan Cohen and Max Blumenthal documented Israel’s 2014 war on Gaza. This film is a chilling visual document of war crimes committed by the Israeli military, featuring direct testimony and evidence from the survivors. And, now in 2023, the Israeli genocidal, retribution attack on Gaza pales what it did in 2014. In this 6-minute interview, Max talks about the influence of the Christian Zionist lobby led by Christians United For Israel which was formed with the aid of Israel. 

The End Of Christian Zionism Or Just A Face Lift

Chuck Carlson was interviewed by Mark Glen on The Liberty Hour program way back in 2009. What he said then about Christian Zionism and the Christian right is still true today. We found this interview treasure hidden in an archive and we think it needs to see the light of day again. Especially so, in light of the genocidal attack on Gaza by Israel as retribution for Hamas breaking out of the world's largest open-air prison on October 7, 2023, and attacking Israel. The killing of innocent civilians whether they are Israelis or Palestinians is deplorable. For 16 years before this attack by Hamas, Israel had attacked Gaza numerous times while killing thousands of women and children.

Christian Zionism: The War-Based Religion

Steve Elkins, host of The National Intel Report on the Republic Broadcasting Network, interviews Tom Compton, one of the founding directors of We Hold These Truths (WHTT) about Zionized Christianity. WHTT has conducted over 200 vigils since 2002. Included in this interview is a discussion of how we started our vigils.

Chuck Carlson, founder of WHTT decided to hold our first vigil five months before the second war on Iraq and Saddam Hussein as a response to a letter sent to President George Bush in October 2002 by Richard Land, President of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. The letter was signed by several prominent evangelical Christians and told President Bush that going to war against Iraq would be a "just" war by their interpretation of the Bible. Then, in 2017 when the SBC came to Phoenix for their annual meeting, we confronted Richard Land's successor, Dr. Russel Moore in an interesting exchange. For related podcasts, Click Here

 

 

American Christians, Israel and Zionism

In this video, our founder, Charles E. Carlson speaks about his solo walk-in visit to the Palestinian territory of the Gaza Strip in March 2002. There he witnessed and filmed an Israeli bombing raid from the roof of a building owned by the Southern Baptist Convention. Chuck gave this account to members of the Institute for Historical Review two years later. The video account of this bombing raid can be seen in our documentary, “The Roots of Christian Zionism: How Scofield Sowed Seeds of Apostasy”. In the second segment of this 50-minute talk, he explains Zionist Christian's distortion of the bible and why its followers support Israel despite its documented brutality toward the Palestinians. His talk marked the beginning of We Hold These Truths' nineteen-year study of and challenge to the biblical corruption that has fostered Israel's unbroken history of killings. The publication referred by Chuck in his presentation is "The Source of Our War Problem: Why Judeo-Christians Do Not Demand Peace".

Uncovering Mainline Christian Zionism

Chuck Carlson and members of We Hold These Truths discuss the existence of Christian Zionism in mainline Christian churches.

Exposing the “Ugly” of Christian Zionism

At We Hold These Truths it has been our mission to expose the Evangelical Church to the dangers and Biblical errors of Christian Zionism. An interesting phenomenon has occurred as we’ve seen the churches that we’ve tried to reach actually become more entrenched in their zionist doctrine, to the point where many Christians now wear the moniker of “Christian Zionist” as a badge of honor and stamp of approval by God. Craig Hanson discusses his article, "Exposing the "Ugly" of Christian Zionism", with Chuck Carlson and Tom Compton in this 33-minute video interview.

Christian Zionism" The Tragedy & The Turning, Part I

We Hold These Truths has been working for peace in the Holy Land since 2002. This documentary was made to challenge Christians who believe that the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy even to the exclusion of Palestinian Christians living there. Our 29-minute documentary was recognized as a contribution to peace by being given a special award at the 4th Ammar Popular Film Festival in Tehran, Iran,  in January 2014.  This film exposes what should be three, obvious truths:  1. The US has a war based economy that is dependent upon the support for its many wars by Christians under the influence of Christian Zionism.  2. Christian Zionism is a corruption of traditional Christianity that has been promoted for just over 100 years, through the Scofield Reference Bible. 3. The Palestinians have been under a brutal military occupation by Israel since 1967.  An example of this brutality was an Israeli attack on Gaza that killed four and wounded 40 in 2002, which was witnessed, videoed, and reported by Charles E. Carlson, the Writer/Director of this documentary.  This attack was four years before Hamas came to power and the 3 devastating wars on Gaza in 2008/2009, 2012, and 2014  The last major assault on Gaza in 2014, “Operation Protective Edge” resulted in over 2,000 Palestinians killed of whom were 500 children. This planned operation has turned into a genocidal assault on Gaza with the Israelis bombing hospitals and schools, and civilian casualties hovering around 75% of the total while destroying the infrastructure of the world’s largest, open-air prison (Bob Simon of CBS News described Gaza this way in 2009 in an interview with Charlie Rose). Today, Gaza is on the brink of being uninhabitable.

The Christian Zionism Oxymoron and Lessons Learned from Eustace Mullins

Chuck Carlson of We Hold These Truths is interviewed by Tom Lacovara on RTR Truth Media program for the first time. Tom covers a lot of ground with Chuck that includes details about Chuck's friendship with the late Eustace Mullins and We Hold These Truths' mission to challenge the false doctrine of Christian Zionism. One commenter on the program concluded this: "Christian Zionism: The spiritual branch of the military-industrial complex." More programs by Tom Lacovara can be seen on his YouTube channel, "RTR Truth Media: Lighting Brushfires of Freedom."

How Pastor Chuck Baldwin Came Out of the Bondage of Christian Zionism

In this remarkable, 61 minute video, Pastor Chuck Baldwin is interviewed by Steven Ben-Nun of Israeli News Live about his journey out of a deep seated and three decades long belief that the modern state of Israel is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. What's remarkable about this interview is that Steven Ben-Nun is a Messianic (Jewish) Christian who had been under the influence of Zionism, himself. The large majority of Messianic Christians are fervent Christian Zionists. We Hold These Truths has, also, interviewed Pastor Baldwin in our podcast, "Pastor Dr. Chuck Baldwin Rejects Christian Zionism."

 

Mainline Christians are Discovering the Dangers of Christian Zionism

When We Hold These Truths started challenging Israel supporting churches in 2002, the term "Christian Zionism" was not in use. Today, there are more groups like FOSNA (Friends Of Sabeel North America), TruNews and a growing number of mainline Christians that are challenging Christian Zionism. In this 19 minute podcast, Chuck Carlson and members of WHTT discuss some of the latest developments of the "Turning" [from Christian Zionism] that we described in our 2010 documentary, "Christian Zionism: The Tragedy & The Turning, Part I."

Educating Evangelicals About Christian Zionism at the Altar Conference

We Hold These Truths has been challenging Christians about the dangers of Christian Zionism since 2002. Our latest effort took place in Fresno, CA at the Altar Conference: Where Heaven Meets Earth," that describes it as "a weekend of dynamic worship and powerful teaching, provoking believers of all backgrounds into a lifestyle of radical pursuit and relentless devotion to Christ." We think that's a great idea. Normally, WHTT vigils are held in front of Christian Zionist churches or events held by Christian Zionist organizations, like Christians United For Israel. Thousands of Christians attended the event and were greeted at three entrance points by members of the WHTT team led by David Jacobs and Craig Hanson. Because the "Free Speech" areas were very close to the lines for the security check points at the entrances, everyone got to see one or more of our signs. In this revealing, 23 minute, podcast, Craig and Dave reflect on some very interesting encounters they had with conference attendees. Many people were clueless about what Zionism is. Craig talked with attendees about how he came out of being a Christian Zionist, even though he didn't know he was one (listen to: "Confessions of a Former Christian Zionist"). Handout mentioned in the podcast: "Does the Bible Require Followers of Jesus to Support the Jewish State of Israel? - Be A Berean: Acts 17:11, Do Your Own Research."

Pastor Dr. Chuck Baldwin Rejects Christian Zionism

Dr. Chuck Baldwin is a prominent American, evangelical, Christian pastor who ran for President of the United States on the Constitution Party in 2008. He currently is the pastor of the Liberty Fellowship in Kalispell, MT and is a nationally syndicated columnist. What may not be widely known about Pastor Baldwin is his Neo-Christian theology, known as "Christian Zionism," that he preached for over 30 years. In this 47 minute podcast with Chuck Carlson and Craig Hanson of We Hold These Truths, Pastor Baldwin reveals his step by step account of his long journey of change to put aside the distorted view of history required to believe the teachings of "Christian Zionism." Christian Zionists believe with religious fervor that to say or do anything against the modern state of Israel, no matter what they do to the indigenous Palestinians, constitutes a sin against God. Traditional Christians reject this notion and don't see the modern state of Israel as a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. We Hold These Truths' awarding winning documentary, "Christian Zionism: The Tragedy & The Turning, Part I," exposes and explains the false theology of "Christian Zionism." We hope and pray that what Pastor Baldwin says about his journey out of "Christian Zionism" will cause other Christian pastors to examine and evaluate their own theology. Recommended articles by Dr. Baldwin: "Perpetual War: A Racket For Politicians, Bankers And War Profiteers," "Seventy Years Of Turmoil, Treachery, Death And Destruction" and "How Zionist Israel Celebrated Its 70th Anniversary."

 

Explaining Christian Zionism, A Faith Based Anti-Reality-Part 2

Dispensationalism is the theological underpinning of Neo-Christian Zionism. In this 22 minute podcast Chuck Carlson and members of We Hold These Truths discuss what Dispensationalism is all about and the giant word switch employed to deceive millions of evangelical Christians in this "Faith Based, Anti-Reality." References discussed in the program: "What Is Dispensationalism" by David Levi of Friends of Israel, "Holocaust II: Saving Israel From Suicide" by Patrick Hurley (republished by WHTT under the title "One Nation Under Israel")

Explaining Christian Zionism, A Faith Based Anti-Reality, Part I

Adherents to Neo-Christian Zionism theology are doing their best to appear like they are part of mainstream Christianity with a theolgy, they claim, that goes back to the early days of Christianity. This 13 minute podcast is an introduction to a series of programs that we will look into the various claims and aspects of what we call Neo-Christian Zionism (we added the "Neo" because it is a new variation of Christianity). We'll be looking into such confusing terms like "dispensationalism," "Christian Palestinianism," "replacement theology" and "The Rapture." Below is a background paper by Craig Hanson on Dr. Paul Wilkinson, mentioned in our podcast. References: "Brutality Blind Churches Invent Labels for Palestine Sympathetic Christians," "Prophets Who Prohesy Lies in My Name."

Christian Zionism The World's Newest Religion Podcast

The idea of Christ Followers supporting political Israel is a movement no more than 70 years old, having no roots in, nor identity with the Evangelical Movement that helped to found and define America. This development has led Chuck Carlson to conclude that Christian Zionism is neo-Christianity, a new form of Christianity. In this 24 minute podcast, Chuck Carlson discusses his article by the same title and expands upon it with the help of Craig Hanson and Tom Compton. [Links referenced in the program: "Christian Zionism: The World’s Newest Religion (article)," "A Theological Response to Christian Zionism By Dr. Rob Dalrymple (podcast)" and "James Perloff on Christian Zionism and the New World Order (podcast)."]

Palestinian Christians In The Shadow of Christian Zionism

Palestinian Christian, Rev. Alex Awad reveals the effects of Christian Zionist theological beliefs on Palestinian Christians, in this insightful presentation made at a "Christ At The Checkpoint" seminar held in Bethlehem, Palestine. Millions of American Christians have been deceived by a theology that says that God gave the modern state of Israel, exclusively, to today's Jews and that the indigenous Palestinians living there, have no right to be there. Traditional Christianity rejects this notion. Please watch this 1 hr. 16 minute video presentation and, then, have one of your Christian Zionist friends watch it. Who knows, maybe they will come to realize that God is not a respector of persons and welcomes one and all into His kingdom. A written summary of Rev.. Awad's presentation is available here.

Christian Theologian Exposes Enigmatic Doctrine of Christian Zionism

More Christian theologians are waking up to the false promises of Christian Zionist theology. Dr. Rob Dalrymple, in his book, "These Brothers of Mine: A Theology of Land & Family & A Response to Christian Zionism," does an excellent job to biblically challenge the theology of Christian Zionism. We gave a copy of Dr. Dalrymple's book to the president of western seminary. Here's what he had to say: "I had the time to read These Brothers of Mine over the weekend and found it a wonderful book. I so appreciated the spirit in which Rob wrote the book. I cannot say that there was anything in the book that I would not embrace! I am passing this book on to another one of our professors to get his take on it, but I believe this is an area of teaching we need to be addressing in the church." In this informative, 52 minute interview with Dr. Dalrypmple, we delve into the theology of Christian Zionism. We also recommend this message by Dr. Dalrymple: "What Does Israel Mean To You?" Also, Dr. Dalrymple has just written a new book, "Follow the Lamb: A Guide to Reading, Understanding, and Applying the Book of Revelation."

At Arizona Mosque Christ Follower Explains Christian Zionism

We Hold These Truths representatives have been invited to speak at numerous mosques about our Christian ministry that challenges Christian Zionism, a form of Neo-Christianity that is less than 150 years old. Christian Zionists hold fast to the belief that the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. In 2012, Tom Compton of We Hold These Truths was invited to make a presentation at the Al-Mahdi Islamic Center in Tempe, Arizona for their International Day of Al Quds (Jerusalem) program. An audio recording was made of the PowerPoint presentation. In this video version, the original audio recording was used using additional photos and videos to bring the challenges being made to Christian Zionism, up to date. For background on the subject, our award winning documentary, "Christian Zionism: The Tragedy & The Turning, Part I" exposes Christian Zionism's false theology. We are encouraged to see that there is a very gradual turning away from Christian Zionism and a greater awareness of this Un-Christ like theology. 28 minutes.

What Catholics Need To Know About Christian Zionism A War Apologetic Sect

Chuck Carlson was interviewed by Judith Sharpe of ISOC, a traditional Catholic organization, to help Catholics understand the false theology of Christian Zionism. In this revealing interview with the founder of We Hold These Truths, several background resources are mentioned: "Christian Zionism: The Tragedy & The Turning, Part I" and "Christian Zionism Is A War Based Religion." (73 mins.)

Christian Zionism Is A War Based Religion

Christian Zionism is a war based, political religion wrapped around the notion that the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. It is a form of dispensational Christian theology (less than 200 years old) where war figures into its end times theology. In this podcast, Chuck Carlson, Tom Compton and Craig Hanson delve into various aspects of this war based religion including numerous, prominent evangelical Christian leaders like Henry Blackaby, Chuck Colson (deceased), Bill Bright (deceased) of Campus Crusade, D. James Kennedy (decesead), Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Conference, Ted Haggard, John McArthur, Dr. Wayne Grudem (author of "Politics According to the Bible") and John Hagee who have blessed the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both before and after the wars started. They've gone so far as to say these wars are "just wars" according to their intrepretation of the Bible. WHTT's Chuck Carlson warned his fellow Baptists in 1990 about not going to war against Iraq ("Iraq: Americans Prepped For 'War'." Also, before the 2003 Gulf War on Iraq, WHTT opposed going to war, again (see here). An excellent article from 2004 in antiwar.com exposes evangelical Christians who support unjust wars:  Pro-War Christians Should Come Clean.

End Times Passover Author Joe Ortiz Challenges Christian Zionism

Joe Ortiz, author of The End Times Passover and Why Christians Will Suffer "Great Tribulation" joins Chuck Carlson, Tom Compton, Craig Hanson and Mark Horton of We Hold These Truths for a fascinating look at the misguided and dangerous theology of Christian Zionists. (27 minutes)

The Strong Delusion of Christian Zionism

In this 27 minute podcast we look into what Christian Zionism is and how to challenge it.  Millions of American Christians are influenced by the dogma of Christian Zionism and have been led to believe that worshiping Jesus requires unconditional support for the secular, apostate state of Israel, no matter what it does to Palestinian Christians and Muslims.  We Hold These Truths has been educating about and challenging Christian Zionism for over 12 years.

A Theological Response to Christian Zionism By Dr. Rob Dalrymple

Dr. Rob Dalrymple, pastor of Northminster Presbyterian Church in Bakersfield, CA has written a powerful and important book, "These Brothers of Mine:  A Biblical Theology of Land and Family and a Response to Christian Zionism" that we enthusiastically recommend.  In this interview with Pastor Rob Dalrymple, he talks about his journey out of Christian Zionism to theologically challenging it.  This is a fascinating and encouraging story that all evangelical Christians need to consider. After you listen to this podcast, you'll want to buy a copy of his book for yourself, and, for your pastor.  People do wake up to Christian Zionism's divisive theology, and, Dr. Dalrymple's book will provide them with sound theology to help them to do so. An example of one lady's journey out of Christian Zionism that was mentioned in the podcast is:  "The Killing of Innocent Palestinian Children by Israel Convicts a Christian Zionist." Dr. Dalrymple's two websites are:  determine truth.com and determinetruth.wordpress.com 

Chuck Carlson: An Overiew of the Dangers of Christian Zionism with Susan Lindauer

We Hold Tese Truths' founder, Chuck Carlson was interviewed by Susan Lindauer on her program, The Covert Report with Susan Lindauer. This is how Susan introduced Chuck:  "Today’s guest is Charles Carlson, one of the foremost critics of Christian Zionism from “We Hold These Truths–” a pro-peace, pro-life group that has been hosting vigils at large evangelical churches across America, challenging their support for Israel, for over a decade....Carlson explains that Christian Zionists are guided by one simple principle–that the State of Israel fulfills biblical prophecy. For indeed, Christian Zionists believe Israel’s rise– and destruction by God, caused by its hubris and abuses– are preconditions for God to send the Messiah as part of the End Times Movement. Unless we wake up the masses, as a direct consequence of this Zionist philosophy, the global community is guaranteed to face endless cycles of destruction in the Middle East for years to come."  Check out Susan's other insightful interviews with other well known activists, like Cynthia McKinney, at The Covert Report with Susan Lindauer.

Christian Zionism Is Genocide Idolatry

Chuck Carlson of We Hold These Truths has described Israeli's "Operation Protective Edge" in Gaza as genocide against the Palestinians.  As of 8/4/2014, "the Palestinian death toll surpassed 1,800 [Palestinians], 80% of whom are civilians according to UN estimates. About 460,000 people in Gaza have been displaced since the start of the conflict. Three civilians in Israel have been killed." (theguardian.com)  This is an interview with Chuck Carlson on Dr. Kevin Barrett's 7/31/2014 "Truth Jihad Radio" show. On the same day Christians United For Israel is telling their supporters to "tell Kerry that Israel - NOT Hamas - is our ally!" while blaming Hamas for the deaths of civilians.

Christian Zionism And Bible Scrabble

In this podcast we look into some of the beliefs held by Christian Zionists.  Included is a fascinating story about an encounter with two Christian Zionists, one an an amateur and one a professional by Chuck Carlson.  Also, Mark Horton tells about one of Israel's most decorated veterans, who is a convert to Christianity and a Holy Land tour guide who asked the question "What is a Jew?"  The answer is very thought provoking.

Christian Zionism: Mean-Spirited Religiosity Trumping Faith And Compassion

In our last podcast, "Christian Palestinianism: The New Threat to Israel?" we looked at something new that Christians United For Israel is promoting, to demonize Christians who are working for peace and justice in the Holy Land.  The term "Christian Palestinianism" was coined by a British theologian, Dr. Paul Wilkinson.  In this podcast, we take a revealing look at this latest example of "Mean Spirited Religiosty" that ignores what Jesus taught (for example, "Blessed are the Peacemakers") and turns its back to the injustices being heaped on Palestinians by Israel.  Don't miss this eye opening program.

WHTT Answers A Critic About Its Award Winning Film On Christian Zionism

Millions of Americans have been conditioned by their government, media and even church leaders to mistrust and despise Iran and Iranians. We are proud of the award given to our film, Christian Zionism:  The Tragedy & The Turning, Part 1 at the Ammar Popular Film Festival in Tehran, Iran in January, 2014. This podcast is about the reaction of a person who watched the whole video, threw it in the trash after watching it, and sent us an email to set us straight about our "extreme" and "vituperative" film. We think you'll find this interchange eyeopening, and, very curious, indeed!

Before Christian Zionism It Was Known As Judeo-Christianity

Back in 2001 We Hold These Truths was encountering the beliefs of Judeo-Christians who had an undying love affair with the State of Israel and had all the Bible verses to back it up, or so they thought.  Today we call them Christian Zionists.  We review and discuss in this podcast an email exchange between Chuck Carlson and a Judeo-Christian, Sherry in 2001.  The interchanges resulted in a ground breaking series, "Sherry's War" written by Chuck Carlson.

A Call To Action To Expose Christian Zionism's Dirty Secrets

WHTT will be heading back to Sacramento to conduct another vigil in front of a Christian Zionist church conducting a Christians United For Israel "Night To Honor Israel" event.  Not only do we want to challenge to the people attending the event but we will be letting Christian leaders in California know what we are doing by sending our letter to the pastor explaining why we are conducting the vigil.  In this podcast we discuss the letter and call for our listeners to action.  After hearing this be sure to start your own campaign my sending out the letter to Christian leaders in your area. 

Prominent Christians Are Rejecting Christian Zionism

In addition to reviewing WHTT vigils in this program, we discuss an example of "The Turning" away from the influence of Christian Zionism, as exemplified by prominent Christian pastor, Chuck Baldwin, who ran for President in 2008.  Pastor Baldwin has done a 180 degree turn around from his position in 2002.

Looking Into the Belly of the Beast: CUFI, John Hagee, Christian Zionism And Zionism

At a recent vigil in the Bay Area at a Christians United For Israel (CUFI) event our intrepid vigil leader, Craig Hanson, went inside to witness the event and reports on the attack made on WHTT using the worn out and baseless "anti-semitism" smear tactic.  Never mind the facts!  We also review actions by Jewish Voice for Peace activists in Colorado to support a resolution to make Boulder, CO a sister city with Nablus in the West Bank of Palestine.  Zionists forces applied pressure to defeat the measure but WHTT  friend, Bob Prince of the Front Range Jewish Voice for Peace says the Zionists are losing ground.

Christian Zionism The World's Most Urgent Mission Field

Mainline Christians are beginning to realize that “Christian Zionism” is a misnomer, a sort of faith based oxymoron, an impossibility to those who follow Christ. As of yet, we do not know of a denomination that has declared the Zionist leaning church down the street to be an open mission field, but they should. If “Christian Zionism” cannot be said to be a denomination, an offshoot, branch, or subset, it must then be about world politics, a radical departure from following Christ that is better described as “Israel following.”

C I Scofield: God Father of Christian Zionism

The Concise Dictionary of Christianity observes that "Scofield's influence on the evangelical/fundamentalist movement of the early twentieth century was enormous."  And, we would add, devastating.  In this podcast we review a new book, The Praise of Folly:  The Enigmatic Life & Theology of C.I. Scofield by David Lutzweiler.  A vicious attack on Lutzweiler and his book by the senior pastor of The Scofield Memorial Church prompted us to look a little deeper and review the new facts, uncovered by Lutzweiler, that cast more shadows on Scofield, the man and his theology.

“Polished” Christian Zionism Vs. The John Hagee, “Bull In The China Shop” Version

Prior to a We Hold these Truths vigil at a Christian Zionist church or event, a letter is sent to the pastors to let them know we're coming and why we are coming.  In preparation for the second vigil at a Washington, DC, Christian Zionist, mega-church, McLean Bible Church, Chuck Carlson sent a letter to the pastor, Lon Solomon and copied his staff.  This is a very insightful look at the disciples of Christian Zionism.

Combating Christian Zionism In Palestine

Palestinian Christians know how un-Christ-like and hurtful the beliefs of Christian Zionists are.  In this podcast we talk about the upcoming Christ At The Checkpoint conference in Bethlehem, Palestine on March 5-9, 2012 and play a recording of Dr. Alex Awad of Bethlehem Bible Collge at the 2010 Christ At The Checkpoint conference, entitled, "Palestinian Christians In The Shadow of Christian Zionists."  To view video highlights of the 2010 conference go to:  Combating Christian Zionism In Palestine.

Cracks In The Christian Zionism Armor?

According to Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, in a letter to supporters, dated 11/17/2011, he writes:  "A disturbing movement is making inroads in the evangelical Christian world. A recent op-ed in theJerusalem Post summed it up: 'Evangelical and conservative Christians — Israel's most important allies — are increasingly targeted for conversion from Christian Zionism to Christian Palestinianism'.” We can only hope it's true.  We discuss this and other vital topics from rising food prices due to extending ethanol subsidies to sanctions on Iran.  There's a lot of food for thought in this podcast.

The Roots of Christian Zionism: How Scofield Sowed Seeds of Apostasy

We Hold These Truths has released our first documentary on Christian Zionism for free viewing on the internet.  This is a must see to understand the nature of a branch of Christianity that puts Israel ahead of Jesus. Ever wonder why so many Christians support America’s many wars, especially in the Middle East? A new Christianity has emerged from the Twentieth Century called Christian Zionism or what could be called, "Angry Evangelicalism," or "Dispensationalism on Steroids." What motivates a nationally known, evangelical preacher like John Hagee to call for a preemptive strike against Iran when it is contrary to what Jesus taught and commanded his followers to do? This “Roots of Zionism” presentation may be the first of its kind with a factual explanation of how Christianity’s latest apostate epidemic was launched with the publishing of C. I. Scofield's reference Bible in 1909, and the influence of the notes in it.

The World Is Rejecting Angry Evangelicalism and Christian Zionism

One of the largest groups who support wars in the Middle East to protect Israel are "Angry" Evangelicals sometimes known as Christian Zionists.  WHTT Director, Thom Compton explains what "Angry" Evangelicalism is and how to combat it.  The referenced email in the podcast, "The Internet Never Lies...But People Do or Why Some Christians Love to Hate Muslims" can be viewed at:  http://www.whtt.org/images/PW-20090206-Internet-Never-Lies.pdf

Michelle Bachman's Evangelicalism (aka Christian Zionism): Epidemic Bubble of Discordant Faith

Charles E. Carlson puts forth a new theory on why so many evangelical Christians find it almost impossible to change their belief that the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of God.  Traditional Christians believe that Jesus is the fulfillment of God.

Challenging John Hagee & Angry Evangelicalsim (aka Christian Zionism)

Angry Evangelical, Christian Zionists like John Hagee of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio need to be challenged for their un-Christlike actions.  Our hats off to members of Esperanza, a Hispanic group in Texas that challenged John Hagee.

Egypt and The Unacceptable Cost of Christian Zionism; Its Legacy of Pain

Today the people of Egypt have revolted against a tyrant who has repressed them and helped Israel repress Gaza Arabs into bondage worse than any Pharaoh ever did. As I speak to you, American National Guard units have been activated to go to Egypt. Will they help free the people? Sadly, our own history tells us they go to support a new Egyptian tyrant, just as they support the puppet governments of Iraq and Afghanistan, and every act of Israel.

Investigating Christian Zionism - 11/23/10

Join We Hold These Truths' founders Chuck Carlson, Travis Steele and Tom Compton on the inaugural broadcast for Podbean. Included in the program is our Unheralded News portion of the program on important news of the day with analysis. In our investigation of beliefs of Christian Zionists, we discuss the Sermon of the Mount by Jesus in context with Christian Zionists' beliefs.
