Dispensationalism Possesses Congresswoman Bachmann

“I am convinced in my heart and in my mind that if the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States . . . [W]e have to show that we are inextricably entwined, that as a nation we have been blessed because of our relationship with Israel, and if we reject Israel, then there is a curse that comes into play. And my husband and I are both Christians, and we believe very strongly the verse from Genesis [Genesis 12:3], we believe very strongly that nations also receive blessings as they bless Israel. It is a strong and beautiful principle.”

Michelle Bachmann
US Congressional Representative From the Third US District of Dispenistan
Speech to Republican Jewish Coalition

1.) Somebody needs to tell Michelle that God divorced Israel when they crucified Jesus. If God rejected Israel in AD 70 isn’t it acceptable to reject Israel in 2010 if and when they pursue policy that is not in our best interest?

2.) Israel didn’t become a nation until 1948. Were we not blessed as a nation until Israel became a nation?

3.) Genesis 12:3, wherein God makes the promise that in you (Abraham) all the families of the earth shall be blessed is a promise that refers to all the nations being blessed through Jesus Christ, whom, by the way, the Jewish people hate.

4.) When Christ haters come upon quotes like this you can hardly blame them for thinking Christianity is comprised of various fruit loops and assorted nuts. I’m not a Christ hater but I have to agree w/ the left when it mocks this kind of insane talk.

5.) There is no curse that comes into play for rejecting Israel anymore then there is a cures that comes into play for rejecting Scandinavia. The curse comes into play for rejecting Christ.

6.) The intellectual and theological havoc that dispensationalism has played with Western Christianity leaves me just this side of having to be committed to a rubber room. That this comic book theology can be taken serious by significant players in the political realm is a profound embarrassment to the cause of Christ.

7.) Think about this for a second. Do your really want this woman making political policy given her dispenstionalism? Will she try to pass legislation to make sure planes can fly w/o pilots that disappear in the rapture? Is she convinced that Russian must be resisted simply because they are the Gog and Magog crew?

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him. View all posts by jetbrane
