We have enough problems with Christian Zionists in the world, we certainly dont need the madness of middle eastern biblical prophesies to extend to the Indian subcontinent, VIA Judeo-Hinduism. [Narrowly defined, Christian Zionism is an ideology grounded in beliefs which consider the State of Israel to be divinely ordained and scripturally determined with a central role in ushering in the end of history, where unconverted Jews and unbelievers (including Christians who are considered to be of questionable status) are judged by God’s wrath. It is the narrower form that causes immediate concern.] (Evangelical Christians are concerned: Ideological Christian Zionists sometimes claim that they speak on behalf of all American evangelicals. This is not so. Many evangelicals in the US do not want to be identified as ideological Christian Zionists. Several prominent evangelical spokespersons have spoken out strongly against this ideology, recognizing how it contradicts the central commitments of Christianity to justice and peace-making. Many question its theological assumptions. HOW SHOULD WE RESPOND? Christians in the West must ask themselves questions about the influence of Christian Zionism on US public opinion. It grieves the member communions of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA to note that many Christians visiting the land of Jesus’ birth, death, and resurrection are not even aware of the existence of Arab Christians, and do not have opportunities to interact with local Christian communities. One step toward addressing this concern is for Christians in the West to become better aware of Christian Zionism and its effects, including the history, theology, and forms of biblical interpretation underlying this ideology). *****All Indians/Hindus are requested to please read the attached link (keeping in mind the obvious lack of reference to Quranic jihad prophesies, which is but a reflection of the oft seen abrahamic lack of clarity towards fellow abrahamic dogmas), and comment on this post either with understanding of the topic, or abstain from commenting. Irrelevant/knee jerk- reactionary comments which have become the mainstay of some Indians responses will be deleted since the aim of this post is to increase clarity and not muddy the waters further. ncccusa.org/pdfs/christianzionismbrochure.pdf
