THE NAZIFICATION OF LIBERAL CHRISTIANITY..

In their ideological assault on the Jews, early Christian theologians interpreted the Roman victory over the Jews, the loss of the Jewish kingdom, the Jews’ capital Jerusalem and the land of Israel as evidence of God’s abandonment of the Jews. God was then pictured as “in there punching” on the side of Christianity and Christians against Judaism and Jews.
That monstrous theology is again at the center of Protestant liberal Christianity, which is breathing new life into a demonology that bans Israel from the family of nations. A systematized, hostile conception of the Jews and Jewish history has again become part of Protestant Christianity.
In a new report titled “The Inheritance of Abraham? The ‘Promised Land’”, the Church of Scotland says Israel does not belong to the Jewish people. It is the Christian dismissal of collective Jewish endeavour.
”Promises about the land of Israel were never intended to be taken literally, or as applying to a defined geographical territory,” it says. “The ‘promised land’ in the Bible is not a place, so much as a metaphor of how things ought to be among the people of God. This ‘promised land’ can be found, or built, anywhere.”
The New Testament, the report states, contains a “radical re-interpretation” of the concepts of “Israel,” “temple,” “Jerusalem,” and “land.”
“The boundaries of the land are described in different ways in different situations,” the report says. “Abraham’s descendants, ‘numerous as the stars in the sky’, will receive ‘all these lands,’ and through them ‘all nations on earth will be blessed’“
(Genesis 26:4). This suggests a more inclusive picture than “the land of Canaan”
(Genesis 12:5) or even “from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates”
(Genesis 15:18).
According to this Christian document, Jewish history has become “Palestinian Arab history” and the Jewish nation (“Am Yisrael”) that ruled in the Holy Land for a thousand years and developed a world-shaking culture never existed.
The Christian document is pure anti-Semitism, since it presents the Jews as stateless beings.
The Church of Scotland’s report is the first major Christian document envisioning a world without Israel. It contains the same diatribes of the early Christians against the Jews, like Jerome’s “the Jews as Judases”, Augustine’s “the Jews as Witness People” and John Chrysostom’s “slay the Jews”.
THE NAZIFICATION OF LIBERAL CHRISTIANITY..
Ever hear of Chrislam and Christian Palestinianism? These two false doctrines are the "fruit" of this "nazification" of liberal Christianity.
