Abbas: “I want Israel to surrender before I want to talk about peace”

Mahmoud Abbas has lost all wars, but wants the winner to surrender before he is willing to talk about peace.

Two men that sails on a ship that try to fool Israel. Abbas and Obama.

The latest “offer” to jump start “peace talks” seems to have failed. The PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has raised new demands of pre-conditions for talks, that Israel can not accept.

Like a demand for “freezing” all construction activity in the capital of the state of Israel, the city of Jerusalem.  Abbas also wants Israel commit her self to a fixed date when the Jewish state will surrender to his demands to borders of the proposed new Islamic state around Jerusalem.

My comment:

The PA Chairman puppet in Ramallah is the only looser that acts like He is the winner, and demand that Israel should come begging at his feet.

Let us repeat for him, the realities on the ground.

1. It was Israel who won the war.
2. It is Israel who are in charge of Jerusalem.
3. It is the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) who are in charge of the borders around Israel.
4. It is the IDF who hold’s Hamas outside of the so-called West Bank.
5. It is the IDF who protect men like Mahmoud Abbas from being targeted and killed by Islamic terrorists who are more radical than him self.
7. It should be up to Israel to decides if these pre-conditions shall be accepted by the loosing end, before there can be anything to talk about.

Lets take a look at Mahmoud Abbas and his al-Fatah movement. (PLO)

1. The PLO was founded on Jew-hate in 1964.
2. The PLO has used violence and terrorism as a political tool.
3.The PLO started to blow up air crafts and airports, and disrupted global air traffic.
4. The PLO is the reason for why every traveler by flights
have to go through body screening at every airport.
5. The PLO has no state.
6. The PLO has no popular support.
7. The PLO will go bankrupt tomorrow, if the US and EU withdraw its financial support.
8. The PLO has a TV-channel that delete the Jewish heritage to the land of Israel, and claim that all of “Palestine” belong to Islam.
9. The PLO refuse to recognize a Jewish statehood in the Middle East.

I can go on adding basic facts.

Mahmoud Abbas and the PLO has a friend in Barack Hussein Obama who also ignore all these facts.

Now, Israel should demand that the PLO and Obama change their ways, before there is anything more to be talked about.

A Status Quo is not the worst that can happen to Israel. It will keep Israel as the winner, and the PLO as the looser.

The “Salad bar theology” inside our Churches

“Salad bar Christianity” is when a person takes those parts of the Bible they like and ignore the parts they don’t.

"Jesus" is for many false Christians, a man they can pick and chose from.

Last week, I opened the topic of a phrase repeated often in the Book of Judges, to wit;

“In those days there was no King in Israel and everyone did what was right in his own eyes”.

Viewpoints from

Aaron in Jerusalem.

In my humble opinion, this little phrase describes very well what is wrong with the Body of Christ in 2010, that there is no recognition of the Authority of Scripture and the Kingship of Jesus Christ. Everyone is doing things “his own way” and doing so in the name of Christianity.

After the first email, several people responded with what they thought my next essay should be about, and I plan on addressing several of the issues that came up. But in this essay, I will be addressing what is closest to my heart and that is the false teaching known as “Replacement Theology” which teaches that “the Church” has replaced “the Jews” as the People of God and therefore all the promises in the Bible made “to Israel” actually now apply only to “the Church.”

Replacement Theology has its origins in the Catholic Church, but forms of it have been eagerly adopted by the Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Protestant Church, and even Islam.

A funny thing about Replacement Theology is that the people among whom it is least popular are those who actually spend time reading the Scriptures themselves and don’t rely on their clergy to interpret it for them.

A side issue that will be addressed in a future email is the problem of what can be broadly described as “topical preaching” that is, when clergy preach on a topic (e.g. social justice) and use scriptural references taken totally out of context to prove their point, instead of taking the totality of a subject as it is treated in Scripture and preaching on the topic that scripture addresses.

This is the ultimate expression of what I often describe as “salad bar Christianity” which is when a person takes those parts of the Bible they like and ignore the parts they don’t.

Romans 9-11 is often cited as the most obvious rebuttal for Replacement Theology, and with good reason. In these three chapters, the Apostle Paul hopelessly debunks the idea hundreds of years before it ever came along.

However, if one wants to find a way to PROVE Replacement Theology instead of rebutting it, one can use Romans 9: 1-8 to do so, even though starting in Romans 9:9 it is hopelessly obvious what Paul is saying and that it does not have anything to do with “the Church” replacing “the Jews” in God’s Plan of Salvation and Redemption for the Human Race.

In Romans 10: 12-13 Paul says “there is no distinction” between Jew and Greek, agreeing with what he wrote in Galatians 3:28 and Colossians 3:11.

Once again, many will take these verses to mean that the modern nation state of Israel and the Jewish People are no longer special to God, that He indeed makes no distinction and therefore ‘Christians’ should not be more sympathetic to the nation state of Israel and the Jewish People. According to this line of thinking, wherever you see the word “Israel” in the Bible, Old or New Testament, you should cross it out and replace it with ‘The Church”

There are three problems with this, and they are, in descending order or importance/relevance.

In Romans 11 Paul totally demolishes the idea that the physical descendants of the nation of Israel have been replaced by the Spiritual “Israel of God” in God’s Plan. The Jews continue to have a role to play, and God continues to bless and love them even in their disobedience and unrighteousness.

Living in Jerusalem of 2010, I can tell you without ambiguity that there is DEEP unrighteousness in this country. Jew, Arab, Christian, and all other demographics in this city are guilty of terrible sins against God, each other and themselves.

But God has still not rejected the Jews, though many if not most of them have rejected not only His Son but even a semblance of belief in God the Father. God keeps His side of agreements, even when His Children do not. That is His nature, and because He is totally Holy, He cannot do otherwise.

The second problem is, since we Human Beings did not write the Bible, we do not have the authority to change anything in it, even if we have the title of “Pope” in front of our names. It doesn’t work that way. If you didn’t create the Universe, you don’t have the Authority to change it. If you didn’t write the Bible, you don’t have the Authority to revise it, even if it’s very convenient for you to do so.

The third reason, as obvious as it is prosaic, is which “church” replaced the Jews?

Was it the Catholic Church? The Lutheran Church? The Greek Orthodox Church? The Coptic Church? The First Baptist Church of Lubbock, Texas?

All of these Churches have at least one thing in common. They are all artificial constructs of ordinary people. They are not mentioned in Scripture, although each will claim that their specific dogma is alluded to there.

“The Jews” however, ARE mentioned in Scripture, MANY TIMES, up to and including the Book of Revelation, which describes God’s plan for wrapping all this up.

To sum up, the only people who believe in Replacement Theology (and there’s actually an awful lot of people who do) are people who are either too lazy to read the Bible for themselves and therefore suffer from self imposed ignorance or wicked people who maybe know the Biblical truth but have made a choice, for one reason or another, to ignore it.

And because they have also made the decision to place their own authority over that of the Scriptures and King Jesus, there is nothing to stop them from ignoring whatever they don’t like about the Bible and/or whatever is inconvenient for them.

There is MUCH MORE to say about Replacement Theology, but this is enough for now.

God bless you all!

Facebook Bishop suspended over claim engaged Royals will be divorced

“The British Royal Family is full of “broken marriages and philanderers”.

An Anglican Bishop curses him self by spreading gosips on Facbook about Prince Williams and his wife to be.

These are the words of Anglican Bishop of Willesden Pete Broadbent. He publicly told he was disappointed with the upcoming Royal wedding in England.

He later added in his Facebook message: “I give the marriage seven years.”

The wedding would cost the public “an arm and a leg”, claimed the Bishop.

Despite issuing a public apology for the “deeply offensive” and “major error of judgement” after his comments came to light, the Bishop was suspended from his duties on Tuesday.

The Bishop’s immediate superior, the Bishop of London, the Rt Rev Richard Chartres, is a close friend of the Prince of Wales and sources had suggested that he may be asked to conduct the wedding service. Despite Lambeth Palace initially playing down the furore, Bishop Chartres later admitted he was “appalled” by the comments.

“I was appalled by the Bishop of Willesden’s comments about the forthcoming royal marriage,” he said in a statement issued shortly after it was announced that the Royal Wedding would take place on April 29 next year at Westminister Abbey.

“In common with most of the country I share the joy which the news of the engagement has brought”.
He added:

“Nevertheless, I have asked him to withdraw from public ministry until further notice.
“I have been in touch with St James’ Palace to express my own dismay on behalf of the Church.”

Bishop Broadbent made his comments about the engagement on Facebook, shortly after it had been announced last Tuesday.

He wrote: “Need to work out what date in the spring or ­summer I should be booking my republican day trip to France.”

“I think we need a party in Calais for all good republicans who can’t stand the nauseating tosh that surrounds this event. “I managed to avoid the last disaster in slow motion between Big Ears and the Porcelain Doll, and hope to avoid this one too.”

He said the wedding should belong to the family, as opposed to becoming “national flim-flam” paid for by tax payers”. And he criticised the media for descending into “fawning deferential nonsense”.

“I wish them well, but their nuptials are nothing to do with me,” he wrote. “Leave them to get married somewhere out of the limelight and leave them alone.”

He later added: “I give the marriage seven years.”

A post on the bishop’s Twitter site, made on the same day as the royal wedding announcement, said he needed to decide “what date in the spring or summer I should be booking my republican day trip to France…”

The news came on the day that the Queen, who is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, opened the General Synod, the Church’s national assembly, in London.

Another gossiper on the Facebook bites the dust. This time a Bishop. I know that the Pope is on Facebook. So lets wait and watch.

Norway the leader in Jew-hate in the Western World

The Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon blasts Norway for widespread Jew-hate.

100 Norwegian cultural figures wants the World to boycott Israel, and their Foreign Minister has accused Israel of killing children in Gaza.
Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon on Wednesday condemned a petition against Israel which was signed by one hundred famous Norwegians.

“Those who call for a boycott against Israel are in effect boycotting the peace process by automatically and unequivocally endorsing the Palestinian position and pushing them further away from the negotiating table,” Ayalon said in a statement. “We expect the Norwegian government to condemn this boycott.”

The Norwegians, led by the country’s national soccer coach, signed a petition demanding a cultural and academic boycott of Israel, accusing its educational institutions of “playing a key role in the occupation” and equating it with apartheid.

Egil Drillo Olsen, coach for the national Norwegian soccer team, recently wrote in Aftenposten, the country’s second largest paper, that the call to boycott Israel was “in line with what 90 percent of the world’s population believes. There cannot be many other opinions.”

The petition is the last item in a string of similar and high-profile initiatives to have taken place in Norway over the past two years. It was signed by coach Olsen and 99 other public figures from the arts and culture, who stated that a boycott is “necessary” not only to help Palestinians, but also to “support Israelis opposing the occupation.”

Former Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik called the boycott call “unhelpful” and “not representative” of the current government’s policy.

Bondevik, who presided over the Norwegian government for seven years over the period 1997 until 2005 on behalf of the Christian Democratic Party, added he wished to “reassure” Israelis that “boycott is not an issue in Norway.”

But Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld, a senior researcher of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionist trends in Scandinavia, alleges Norway is a “pioneer” in the Western world promoting boycotts and hatred against Israel.

Gerstenfeld, Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, notes some “uniquely Norwegian developments unparalleled elsewhere in the West.”

Among them, he lists praise that Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere wrote last year for a book accusing the IDF of deliberately killing Gazan women and children, and the promotion of a Norwegian diplomat who had compared Operation Cast Lead in Gaza with the action of the Nazis.

That same year the major Norwegian State pension fund divested from Elbit Systems because of the company’s involvement in building the security fence.

Since then, Norwegian shares in several other Israeli companies have been divested. In November 2009, a Norwegian university, NTNU in Trondheim, became the first in the West whose Board openly discussed boycotting Israel. The plan was ultimately unanimously rejected.

“Norway’s case is unique because it is a country dominated by a political, media and cultural elite with deep-rooted anti-Israeli attitudes stemming from their political world view,” Gerstenfeld said. “It poses a threat to Israel because it may be the place where precedents are set in the campaign to delegitimize Israel.”

My comment:

Many Norwegians would deny that there is widespread Jew-hate in Norway. Basically because they have no idea how widespread it is.

I took an Israeli flag with me inside a coffee Restaurant in a shopping mall in Norway, to test out the public view on Israel. The response was inline with the claim by the Israeli Deputy FM.

Norwegians know to me, over a cup of coffee, uttered the same antisemitic lies against the Jewish people as the once distributed by the Nazis.

It is a shame. Norway is spiritually disconnected from God of the Bible. The Church, multiple priest and pastors alike. Their error is at best silence in regards to Israel. But mostly this kind of sickness is a result of Replacement Theology, that leads to deceptions and complete spiritual blindness.

Ex-US Ambassador: «Obama is all wrong in regards to Israel and Arabs»

«The Arab Palestinians have played off Obama’s error by adopting a far more extreme set of demands regarding Jewish buildings».

Former US Ambassador Martin Indyk and Israeli President Shimon Peres.

This is the words of Former US Ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk on Tuesday.  He said that President Barack Obama and his chief Middle East envoy, George Mitchell, have failed to grasp the realities of how peace is made in the region, and so have only exacerbated the conflict between Israel and the Arabs.

«The Arabs have raised demands that no Israeli leader can now accept».

Indyk supported Obama for president, and originally believed he would do a much better job than past presidents at hammering out a lasting peace deal between Israel and its neighbors.

But at a political forum in Omaha, Nebraska, Indyk conceded that he had been wrong, and that Obama was flunking his foray into Middle East peacemaking.

Obama’s first mistake, said Indyk, was putting so much stock in Saudi King Abdullah supporting his peace push by moderating the Arab-backed Saudi peace proposal, which offers Israel full diplomatic relations with its neighbors in return for surrendering all lands liberated in the 1967 Six Day War and opening its borders to millions of so-called «Palestinian refugees».

Obama believed that if he could just get the Arabs to drop their demand to flood what remained of the Jewish state with even more Arabs, then Israel could be compelled to accept the rest of the terms. But Abdullah was unwilling to budge.

Then, lamented Indyk, Obama made his second blunder by focusing nearly his entire peace policy on strong-arming Israel into halting all Jewish construction in Judea, Samaria and even much of Jerusalem.

Indyk insisted that in order to effectively broker peace in the Middle East, one must not get bogged down in details before a broad agreement has been reached.
