Unveiling the Roots of Christian Anti-Semitism
James Lasher delves into the critical link between biblical illiteracy and the alarming rise of Christian anti-Semitism in our world today. As Israel continues to dominate headlines, Lasher sheds light on the unexpected hostility from various quarters, including mainstream media, politicians, college students, and Islamists.
Drawing from the insightful analysis of Charisma columnist Dr. Michael Brown, Lasher explores the factors behind this hostility, with a spotlight on replacement theory— the notion that the Christian church has replaced the Jewish people as God's chosen. Standing firmly with Dr. Brown, Lasher refutes this idea, emphasizing the distinction between the Mosaic and Abrahamic Covenants.
The discussion takes a poignant turn as Lasher passionately advocates for unwavering support for Israel, citing Genesis 12:1-3 and the divine promise that those who bless Israel will be blessed. He addresses concerns from both the left and right political spectrums, urging a balance between patriotism and a biblical perspective on supporting the nation of Israel.
Furthermore, Lasher addresses the dangers of biblical illiteracy, connecting it to societal issues, apostate churches, and compromises within the Christian community. He calls for a return to the foundational principles of scripture, urging viewers to open their Bibles and gain a deeper understanding of the critical times we are living in through a biblical lens.
Join James Lasher in this thought-provoking exploration of biblical literacy, Christian responsibility, and the undeniable connection between the church and the nation of Israel.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,320
Is biblical illiteracy giving rise to Christian antisemitism in the world today?
2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,960
Hello everyone, I'm James Lasher with Charisma Media.
3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,160
If you have been following the news recently,
4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,240
you would have seen that Israel is still dominating the headlines.
5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,400
But as many correctly pointed out,
6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,480
the narrative rapidly turned against Israel
7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,240
by the likes of mainstream media outlets,
8
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:25,320
anti-Israel politicians,
9
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,520
brainwashed college students,
10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,760
and Islamists that seek to form global caliphates and tear down the West.
11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,520
Millions have marched against the nation of Israel worldwide,
12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,560
and the protests are continuing.
13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:44,760
Why? Because of the satanically driven hatred the world has for God's chosen people.
14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:50,080
What honestly shocked me in all this chaos over Israel's right to simply exist
15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,560
and protect herself from a terrorist organization
16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,600
was how many who call themselves conservatives and Christians
17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,080
have turned their backs on Israel.
18
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:07,400
Charisma columnist Dr. Michael Brown has addressed this surprising hostility towards Jews,
19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,360
and he highlights multiple causations for this hostility,
20
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,760
a large factor being replacement theory.
21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,400
To see his more in-depth analysis, there is a link below in the description.
22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,120
But I stand with Dr. Brown, who is himself a Messianic Jew.
23
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,760
In saying that this theory that the Christian church
24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,120
has somehow replaced the Jewish people as God's chosen people,
25
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,800
it's not mere folly, it is downright unbiblical.
26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,200
And it reveals just how shallow the biblical roots really are
27
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,080
of many who claim to be Christians.
28
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:48,840
As Christians, we believe that when Jesus died and rose again,
29
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,680
He fulfilled the Mosaic covenant as the ultimate sacrifice
30
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,960
whose blood was shed to save mankind from sin and death.
31
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:05,640
It did not, nor did Jesus ever claim that it fulfilled the Abrahamic covenant.
32
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,040
The Bible says in Genesis 12 verse 1 through 3,
33
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,800
Now the Lord said to Abram,
34
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:20,960
Go from your country, your family, and your father's house to the land that I will show you.
35
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,800
I will make you a great nation.
36
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:30,080
I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
37
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,720
I will bless them who bless you and curse him who curses you.
38
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,720
And in you, all families of the earth will be blessed.
39
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,840
We're going to double back to this verse in just a minute.
40
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,040
Don't worry, much of the resistance to sending aid and support to Israel
41
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,840
is not located only on the anti-Semitic left side of the aisle.
42
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:58,160
There is a large movement on the right stemming from the America First movement
43
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,320
that is against this as well.
44
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:06,920
Let me say, first and foremost, there is nothing at all wrong with being patriotic.
45
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:13,760
After six years in the military, I still love my country and think she is worth fighting for.
46
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:21,400
But American greatness can never be restored without corporate repentance
47
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,720
before the Lord God in heaven.
48
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,560
It is impossible.
49
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,880
What the America First movement is missing is that if they truly want to see America
50
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:39,080
spiritually, economically, politically, and socially rejuvenated,
51
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:46,400
then it would be in our best interest to provide Israel with all the support they need.
52
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,560
Why? Because of the Bible verse we just read in Genesis.
53
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,920
The Lord will bless those who bless Israel.
54
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Now, that does not mean you blindly agree and go along with things that are unbiblical.
55
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:07,360
But as the saying goes, your best friends are the ones who tell you what you need to hear,
56
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,160
not what you want to hear.
57
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,720
America must be that friend for Israel as much of the world turns against her,
58
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:22,200
standing by her side even when we do not always agree with their decisions.
59
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,720
There is more than just the Abrahamic covenant to prove that the nation of Israel
60
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,560
is separate from the Church of Christ.
61
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Just look through the multitude of end times prophecies in the Bible,
62
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,240
which discuss Israel and Jerusalem.
63
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:47,880
God puts in his word how Israel will be cleansed and restored, not replaced.
64
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,920
There is so much in the pages of the Bible that show this,
65
00:04:52,920 --> 00:05:00,120
and it highlights one of the greatest dangers facing both Israel and the Christian Church today.
66
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,080
Biblical illiteracy.
67
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:09,600
People are not digging deep down into the word and taking seriously what God put in the Bible.
68
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,320
We are allowing compromises to take place in the Church
69
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,720
instead of holding fast to God's design and principles.
70
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,400
If we were pressing into Scripture, society would not be in the shape it is in now.
71
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:30,160
There would not be the apostate churches rising up at incredible rates.
72
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,040
People would not be replacing the cross for the pride flag.
73
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:41,960
There would be Christian leadership shepherding people into repentance at altars that are filled to capacity
74
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:48,400
instead of giving watered down, feel-good messages in seeker-friendly churches.
75
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,760
Do not mistake what the Bible says.
76
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,840
If you preach the unaltered word of God, the world will hate you.
77
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:00,800
If you stand by God's chosen people, the enemy will attack you.
78
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,400
It takes a strength given by the Holy Spirit to weather these attacks.
79
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,520
And without it, many have fallen into the snares of the devil.
80
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,080
So please, if you are hearing my voice today,
81
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:21,680
open up your Bible and see with your own eyes what the Word of God has to say about the nation of Israel.
82
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,840
We are living in quickened times.
83
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:27,800
Things are happening at a rate unseen before in human history.
84
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:34,720
And to truly understand the depth and critical importance of these days,
85
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,920
they must be viewed through a biblical lens.
86
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,200
Thank you for watching.

00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:48,400
instead of giving watered down, feel-good messages in seeker-friendly churches.
75
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,760
Do not mistake what the Bible says.
76
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,840
If you preach the unaltered word of God, the world will hate you.
77
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:00,800
If you stand by God's chosen people, the enemy will attack you.
78
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:06,400
It takes a strength given by the Holy Spirit to weather these attacks.
79
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,520
And without it, many have fallen into the snares of the devil.
80
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,080
So please, if you are hearing my voice today,
81
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:21,680
open up your Bible and see with your own eyes what the Word of God has to say about the nation of Israel.
82
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,840
We are living in quickened times.
83
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:27,800
Things are happening at a rate unseen before in human history.
84
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:34,720
And to truly understand the depth and critical importance of these days,
85
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,920
they must be viewed through a biblical lens.
86
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,200
Thank you for watching.
87
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,600
I'm James Lascha with Charisma Media.
88
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,200
God bless you.
