Bad Theology = Bad Fruit
If this quote by Gary Bauer isn’t the result of bad theology I don’t know what is.
From OneNewsNow:
As Israel celebrates its 60th birthday, Rev. John Hagee says the Jewish state “has never been in greater danger.”
Hagee, who heads Christians United for Israel, urged his fellow Christian Zionists in a conference call Tuesday to attend the organization’s Israel Summit in Washington this July.
Christians have a biblical mandate, according to Hagee, to support the Jewish people and modern Israel, whose rebirth in 1948 he considers a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. “We need, as Christians, to fulfill Isaiah 62, which says ‘for Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,’” Hagee explains.
Gary Bauer says the organization will hold its Israel Summit this July in Washington. “I can’t think of any more important way for believers to spend their time than to come to the capital of this great country and make it clear by our presence that, come what may, we’re going to stand with Israel,” Bauer contends.

So, according to Bauer…who we know parrots Hagee and the CUFI org; the most important way we as Christians can spend our time on earth, is to high-tail it to Washington DC in support of the political state of Israel. How odd… You would think the most important way we as Christians could spend our time, is in spreading the Gospel of Christ to a lost and dying world–which by the way, includes those inside the state of Israel.
What a messed up theology these people have.
As I read recently…
“When wars have ceased, international leaders have become dust and the poverty of their souls is revealed; when enterprises crumble and the last dream has evaporated; when death has claimed the final person, and those alive are changed for their eternal future; when everything earthly and mundane is over, and each person resides in heaven or hell – what will be important? And what among all that is important will be the most important?
This is a question worth thinking about, because finding out what is important in the end will, or at least should, tell you what is important now. That which is important for eternity, that is, for billions of years and more, is surely the most important thing to God for this brief wisp of time called human history. And it should be even more important for you, since you live here for only a small fraction of that wisp….”
