Marx, Lenin and Mao were all, argues CJ Strachan, products of the Enlightenment's belief that reason could reshape humanity. By abandoning faith and tradition, we starved the spirit – and are now living with the consequences.

For about 1,400 years from the time of Moses the children of Israel have had the oracles of God in the written law and the prophets. All of those foreshadowed the coming Messiah who the majority of Jews have rejected in Jesus Christ. What does that mean for their salvation?

The modern Evangelical Church has shifted its focus from Jesus Christ to political and socio-religious affiliations, influenced by John Nelson Darby's spurious interpretations. All Old Testament prophecies point to Jesus as the Messiah, not to contemporary apostate Israel and Talmudic Judaism. The essence of true devotion lies in acknowledging Christ and Him alone.

It's a shameful day for the Church of England, says Julian Mann, as its General Synod passes an anti-Israel motion pledging to "engage with" what the Chief Rabbi calls a "shocking" document containing "so much falsehood".

There is no such thing as Judeo-Christian. And never was. Both Old and New Testaments are entirely and only about Jesus Christ. Only He is the Messiah who is called Christ.

North Yorkshire Police made a grovelling public apology to "our LGBTQ+ communities" – but has refused to apologise to a Christian officer it wrongly sacked for asking a question about Islam at a training day.

The Apostle Paul emphasizes that salvation is based on faith in Jesus Christ, not ethnicity or lineage. Only a remnant of Israel will be saved, as true identity comes from spiritual connection rather than genetic heritage. Believers, regardless of their origins, form the true Israel, unified in Christ’s grace.

President Donald Trump portrayed himself on his own Truth Social platform as Jesus Christ, but as both a warmonger and a healer of the sick. In reality he is antichrist. Perhaps he was possessed of Lucifer on March 19th as expected by some Jewish rabbis as their Messiah.

Sin abounds in the world today and the majority of Christians do not recognise it. Satan is out in the world and his deceptions are in full sway over the nations especially the evangelicals in the US states supporting wars against innocent civilians who did nothing to America.

The debate around Covenant Theology, replacement theology, and dispensationalism has intensified online. Covenant Theology posits one unified people of God through Christ, unlike dispensationalism, which promotes two distinct groups. The true church is seen as the fulfillment of God's promises, integrating both Jews and Gentiles into one faith community under Christ.

Satan has transformed his agents into ministers of light representing themselves as apostles, prophets, ministers and pastors to deceive and influence the powerful ones like President Donald Trump. These deceitful workers are, in fact, wolves in Christian clothing pushing for Satan’s goal of all out world war.

In 2023, extremist members of the Israeli Knesset attempted to ban teaching Christianity and proposed severe penalties for offenders, which failed due to pressure from American evangelical Christians. Recently, a preliminary bill was passed to criminalize praying to Christ at the Western Wall, highlighting rising tensions between Israeli laws and Christian beliefs.

The United States and Israel have been bombing Iran for more than a day now in an unprovoked attack. Who is the Great Satan and who is the little Satan here? And where does the demonic blood lust frenzy for war come from?

The new Australian "hate speech" legislation criminalizes criticism of Israel or Jewish identity, potentially labeling such discourse as harassment. Attorney-General Michelle Rowland confirmed that if Jewish Australians feel intimidated, related actions could be prosecuted. Critics warn this undermines democracy and enables totalitarian practices by silencing political opposition.

The rescue mission of Christ culminated in His crucifixion and resurrection, establishing the New Covenant based on grace. I critique Christian-Zionist Robert Stearns for undermining Jesus' messianic significance, emphasizing that salvation is exclusively through Christ. I also contrast the Old Covenant's requirements with the grace of the New Covenant.

January 2026: the Australian government proposes to pass new draconian anti-free-speech legislation against "hate speech" that will curtail, thought, speech and open discussions in areas pertaining to religion, politics and current affairs. If passed it is the end of free speech in Australia.

Former Christian Zionist Steven Ben-Nun demolishes the claim of Christian Zionists that modern Israel fulfills biblical prophecy, specifically Isaiah 66:8. The true prophetic fulfillment is spiritual, evident in the birth of spiritual Zion the Christian assembly at Pentecost, rather than a geopolitical event in 1948. He advocates for a Christ-centered understanding of Zionism.

The majority of self-identified Christians misunderstand the significance of and difference between the Old and New Covenants. The New Covenant represents the fulfilment of the Old, which is obsolete and ineffective. It cannot save. Through Christ’s sacrifice, believers are granted a new relationship with God, emphasizing grace over the law, invalidating the Old Covenant's relevance.

Dispensational Christian-Zionism promotes the notion that Jews are intrinsically the special people of God, sidelining their need for Christ in salvation. That theology nullifies any preaching of the gospel. It silences the true gospel. All people, including the Jews, must seek salvation through faith in Christ alone.

Christian Zionists, particularly from the U.S., support Israel's nation-building despite the rejection of Jesus Christ by the vast majority of Jews. Israel today are not God's chosen people. The true believers in Christ are, irrespective of ethnicity, nationality or race.
