THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM IN THE MID EAST: Part II
WHY JUDEO-CHRISTIANS SUPPORT WAR
C. E. Carlson

The French author, Alexis de Tocqueville, wrote Democracy in America
when he traveled here in the first third of the 19th Century. In
ringing tones he sang the praises of America's invulnerable strength
and spirit. He attributed its greatness to its citizens' sense of
morality... even with the abundant church attendances he observed in
America. De Tocqueville wrote in French and is credited with this
familiar quote: "AMERICA IS GREAT BECAUSE SHE IS GOOD, and if America
ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."

World Zionist leaders initiated a program to change America and its
religious orientation. One of the tools used to accomplish this goal
was an obscure and malleable Civil War veteran named Cyrus I.
Schofield. A much larger tool was a venerable, world respected
European book publisher--The Oxford University Press.

The scheme was to alter the Christian view of Zionism by creating and
promoting a pro-Zionist subculture within Christianity. Scofield's
role was to re-write the King James Version of the Bible by inserting
Zionist-friendly notes in the margins, between verses and chapters,
and on the bottoms of the pages. The Oxford University Press used
Scofield, a pastor by then, as the Editor, probably because it needed
such as man for a front. The revised bible was called the Scofield
Reference Bible, and with limitless advertising and promotion, it
became a best-selling "bible" in America and has remained so for 90
years.

The Oxford University Press owned "The Scofield Reference Bible" from
the beginning, as indicated by its copyright, and Scofield stated he
received handsome royalties from Oxford. Oxford's advertisers and
promoters succeeded in making Scofield's bible, with its Christian
Zionist footnotes, a standard for interpreting scripture in
Judeo-Christian churches, seminaries, and Bible study groups. It has
been published in at least four editions since its introduction in
1908 and remains one of the largest selling Bibles ever.

(Snip)
The Scofield Reference Bible and its several clones is all but
worshiped in the ranks of celebrity Christians, beginning with the
first media icon, evangelist Billy Graham. Of particular importance
to the Zionist penetration of American Christian churches has been the
fast growth of national bible study organizations, such as Bible Study
Fellowship and Precept Ministries. These draw millions of students
from not only evangelical fundamentalist churches, but also from
Catholic and mainline Protestant churches and non-church contacts.
These invariably teach forms of "dispensationalism," which draw their
theory, to various degrees, from the notes in the Oxford Bible.

(Snip)
It is no exaggeration to say that the 1967 Oxford 4th Edition
deifies--makes a God of--the State of Israel, a state that did not
even exist when Scofield wrote the original footnotes in 1908. This
writer believes that, had it not been for misguided anti-Arab race
hatred promoted by Christian Zionist leaders in America, neither the
Gulf War nor the Israeli war against the Palestinians would have
occurred, and a million or more people who have perished would be
alive today.

What proof do we have to incriminate World Zionism in a scheme to
control Christianity? For proof we offer the words themselves that
were planted in the 1967 Edition, 20 years after the State of Israel
was created in 1947, and 46 years after Scofield's death. The words
tell us that those who control the Oxford Press recreated a bible to
misguide Christians and sell flaming Zionism in the churches of America.

(Snip)
The most convincing evidence of the unseen Zionist hand that wrote the
Scofield notes to the venerable King James Bible is the content of the
notes themselves, for only Zionists could have written them. These
notes are the subjects of this paper.

Oxford edited the former 1945 Edition of SRB in 1967, at the time of
the Six Day War when Israel occupied Palestine. The new footnotes to
the King James Bible presumptuously granted the rights to the
Palestinians' land to the State of Israel and specifically denied the
Arab Palestinians any such rights at all. One of the most brazen and
outrageous of these NEWLY INSERTED footnotes states:

"FOR A NATION TO COMMIT THE SIN OF ANTI-SEMITISM BRINGS INEVITABLE
JUDGMENT." (Page 19-20, footnote (3) to Genesis 12:3.) (Emphasis is
added by caps)

This statement sounds like something from Ariel Sharon, or the Chief
Rabbi in Tel Aviv, or Theodore Herzl, the founder of Modern Zionism.
But these exact words are found between the covers of the 1967 Edition
of the Oxford Bible that is followed by millions of American
churchgoers and students and is used by their leaders as a source for
their preaching and teaching.

There is no word for "anti-Semitism" in the New Testament, nor is it
found among the Ten Commandments. "Sin," this writer was taught, is a
personal concept. It is something done by individuals in conflict
with God's words, not by "nations." Even Sodom did not sin--its
people did. The word "judgment" in the Bible always refers to God's
action. In the Christian New Testament, Jesus promises both judgment
and salvation for believing individuals, not for "nations."

There was also no "State of Israel" when Scofield wrote his original
notes in his concocted Scofield Reference Bible in 1908. All
references to Israel as a state were added AFTER 1947, when Israel was
granted statehood by edict of the United Nations. The Oxford
University Press simply rewrote its version of the Christian Bible in
1967 to make antipathy toward the "State of Israel" a "sin." Israel
is made a god to be worshiped, not merely a "state." David Ben-Gurion
could not have written it better. Perhaps he did write it!

The Oxford 1967 Edition continues on page 19:

"(2) GOD MADE AN UNCONDITIONAL PROMISE OF BLESSINGS THROUGH ABRAM'S
SEED (a) TO THE NATION OF ISRAEL TO INHERIT A SPECIFIC TERRITORY FOREVER"

"(3) THERE IS A PROMISE OF BLESSING UPON THOSE INDIVIDUALS AND NATIONS
WHO BLESS ABRAM'S DESCENDANTS, AND A CURSE LAID UPON THOSE WHO
PERSECUTE THE JEWS." (Page 19, 1967 Edition Genesis 12:1-3)

This bequeath is joined to an Oxford prophesy that never occurs in the
Bible itself:

"IT HAS INVARIABLY FARED ILL WITH THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PERSECUTED THE
JEW, WELL WITH THOSE WHO HAVE PROTECTED HIM." and "THE FUTURE WILL
STILL MORE REMARKABLY PROVE THIS PRINCIPLE"(footnote (3) bottom of
page19-20Genesis 12:3)

None of these notes appeared in the original Scofield Reference Bible
or in the 1917 or 1945 editions. The state of Israel DID NOT EXIST in
1945, and according to the best dictionaries of the time, the word
"Israel" only referred to a particular man and an ancient tribe, which
is consistent with the Bible text. See "Israel," Webster's New
International Dictionary 2nd (1950) Edition.

The State of Israel's legal claims to Arab lands are based on the
United Nations Partitioning Agreement of 1947, which gave the Jews
only a fraction of the land they have since occupied by force. But
when this author went to Israel and asked various Israelis where they
got the right to occupy Palestine, each invariably said words to the
effect that "God gave it to us." This interpretation of Hebrew
scripture stems from the book of Genesis and is called the "Abrahamic
Covenant". It is repeated several times and begins with God's promise
to a man called Abraham who was eventually to become the grandfather
of a man called "Israel:"

(Snip)
It is upon this promise to a single person that modern Israeli
Zionists base their claims to what amounts to the entire Mid-East.
Its logic is roughly the equivalent of someone claiming to be the heir
to the John Paul Getty estate because the great man had once sent a
letter to someone's cousin seven times removed containing the
salutation "wishing you my very best." In "Sherry's War," We Hold
These Truths provides a common sense discussion of the Abrahamic
Covenant and how millions of Christians are taught to misunderstand it.

(Snip)
Benny Hinn is one of hundreds of acknowledged Christian Zionists who
have no problem spouting outright race hatred and who join in
unconditional support for Israel without regard for which or how many
of Israel's enemies are killed or crippled. His boldness stems from
his knowledge that the vast majority of professing Christians from
whom he seeks his lavish support-the Judeo-Christians, or Christian
Zionists--do not shrink at his words, because they have been
conditioned to accept them, just as Roman citizens learned to accept
Christian persecution, even burning alive, under Nero. Several
evangelists in attendance affirmed their agreement with Hinn - "the
line between Christians and Muslims is the difference between good and
evil."

An amazing number of professing Christians are in agreement with the
fanatical likes of Hinn, including Gary Bauer, Ralph Reed, James
Dobson and hundreds more. Yet Hinn's profit-seeking fanaticism is not
as shocking as that of men like Richard Land of the Southern Baptist
Convention who occupy the highest positions in the area of
conservative religious thought. Land may have stopped short of
branding all Muslims as devils, but he attacked their leader and
Prophet and stated that, according to Baptist Bible interpretation,
the Palestinian people have no legal rights to property in Palestine.

Christian Zionism may be the most bloodthirsty apostasy in the entire
history of Christianity or any other religion. Shame on its leaders:
they have already brought the blood of untold numbers innocent people
down upon the spires and prayer benches of America's churches.

Please, may every Follower of Christ share this article with pastors
and church leaders, especially lay leaders. We ask every Muslim and
Jew who reads it to do the same. You might wish to suspend giving
money to any organizations that preach Zionist race hatred in any
form, especially under the cover of Jesus Christ. And lastly, We
invites your informed comments and questions.

SHERRY'S WAR:
Twenty page research paper plus 1 hour audiotape by C. E. Carlson, -
How Judeo-Christians mix and match scripture verses and use of extra
text out of context to promote the Pop Church's "chosen people" and
end times scenario. Sherry and many other well-meaning, professed
Christians have justified war against Arab people without a scrap of
scriptural support and with little knowledge of the conflict.
"Sherry's War" offers insight into current Christian sub-culture and
why many have justified or ignored the brutal assassinations of
Islamic peoples simply because they are not Israelis or Christian. An
introduction to our classic 20-page study by the same name; Sent to
all contributors.

THE FINAL APOSTASY - by Gordon Ginn Ph.D. Is your church apostate,

historical and documented ex-post facto changes made in the Hebrew
text of the Old Testament...after Christ. These changes have affected
what all of us believe, from the Reformation to Day911. Ginn sheds
light on the turmoil in the Middle East and reveals the results of
some Christians' tragic errors in accepting the "Final Apostasy".
