"You know what's wrong with the world today?
People done gone put their Bibles away..."
Charlie Daniels
Charlie Daniels has sung some great truths in the lines of his songs, and that is one of the greatest to me. People have put their Bibles away and are no longer reading them. We have forgotten what the Word of God says and what it means to follow it. And the shocking thing is, it is no longer being taught in our churches. How can states pass laws that make getting an abortion as easy as going out for a cup of coffee and not have every preacher, pastor, priest, rabbi and reverend screaming about it from the pulpit? Moral turpitude is rampant in this country today and the churches aren't doing anything to stop it. No, we are now taught that we must be tolerant of others who are different from us. We must accept people with "alternative lifestyles" with kindness. We must accept those of the Muslim religion and look away as they scream hate against Israel.
And that brings us back to the Bibles that we have put away. The five books of Moses tell us in no uncertain terms that the Jews are the chosen people of God. The God of Abraham promised the Israelites that He would take them to a land flowing with milk and honey, and He did. God told His people that they would face great odds in battle from the peoples who inhabited the land that He was giving them, and they did. God told the Jews that no matter what the odds, He would smite their enemies and deliver them to His people, and He did. God promised the Israelites that He would protect them from invasion by destroying the invaders though the attackers greatly outnumber the Jews, and He still does to this day. Look at a map of the middle east. Israel is but a flyspeck in the midst of huge Muslim empires, all of which wish to destroy Israel. But, though Israel has been attacked again and again and again, they still stand as a strong but tiny bastion of liberty and democracy in a huge sea of Muslim dictatorships. No people could stand against such insurmountable odds unless God was with them. The one and only thing that has kept Israel alive and well has been, time and again, Divine Intervention.
As Christians we believe that Jesus was the son of God. By "God," we mean the God of Abraham. We worship the same God as do the Jews. We live by the same Ten Commandments as the Jews. When we want to know more about what is behind the Old Testament, we look to Jewish scholars. We have a bond with the Jews and as such we should always give them whatever aid we possibly can. That, however, is not the attitude of the current administration in the White House.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems to me that our "President" always leans in favor or the Muslims. When an African/American professor was arrested for disorderly conduct, the Narcissist-in-Chief condemned the police officer without having any of the facts, but when an Army Major Nidal Hassan killed 13 and wounded 29 soldiers in Ft. Hood while screaming "Allah ackbar" (Alla is Great), King Obama said we must not call him a terrorist until more information is known. When a madman killed a federal judge and seriously wounded a Congressman El Presidente was quick to condemn hateful speech from the Tea Party before we even found out that the gunman wasn't a Tea Party member. But we are told we must not refer to the Gitmo detainees as terrorists. I have even been told straight to my face that the Israelis are just as brutal and vicious as the Muslime (no I meant to spell it that way) people are. Oh, really???
How many homosexuals have been put to death in Israel? How many women have been stoned to death because they were accused of adultery? How many Jewish women have been raped and then beaten for being promiscuous? How many Jewish girls have been murdered by their own fathers or brothers because they besmirched the "honor" of the family? How many of the 9/11 hijackers were wearing yarmulkes? And when have candies and sweets been passed out on the streets in Israel to celebrate the slaughter of a Muslim family?
Don't tell me that God's chosen people are the evil ones. That statement just doesn't hold water. If we don't stand behind Israel today, one day we will stand before God to explain why.
