Be A Berean

Pro 18:17
The first to plead his case seems right, Until another comes and examines him.

Act 17:11
Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

Remember, the Scripture was written for us but it was not written to us! The Most important key point of interpretation is audience relevance...what did it first mean to the original audience.

Forcing God's Hand
by Grace Halsell

In her startling book, Forcing God's Hand: Why Millions Pray for a Quick Rapture and the Destruction of Planet Earth, Grace Halsell explores the danger of a new religious doctrine sweeping America. Adherents to this doctrine are said to constitute the fastest growing movement in Christianity today. The cult members look like your average next- door neighbors. They are middle to upper-class Americans. Its leaders proclaim that God wants—even demands—that Planet Earth be destroyed in our generation.

Fundamentalist Evangelicals believe there will be catastrophic events on earth, some occurring already, including the turmoil in the Middle East, culminating in the Battle of Armageddon in which Christ will triumph and begin ruling the earth. At this point, they believe, non-believers will be destroyed, good Christians saved and any remaining Jews converted to Christianity. By praying for their Rapture and the End of Time, might they Force the Hand of God--to bring it about?

"What's the number-one item on the agenda of the Christian right? Abortion? School prayer? No and no. Believe it or not, what's most important to a lot of conservative Christians is the Jewish state, Israel; its size, its strength, its survival. Why so?" CBS 60 Minutes (read inside)

"God save us from these people," Yossi Alpher, Israeli political analyst, to CBS 60 Minutes.

"A great expose' of the strange marriage of convenience between the U.S. Christian Right and Israel. Neither likes the other- but they use one another. It's not about religion, but about politics. I highly recommend this book for exposing the hypocrisy." Dr. Alfred Lilienthal, Author-Historian

"Halsell exposes Falwell's Christian tours as having only one purpose: to raise money for Falwell and Israel, under the guise of preparing the pilgrims for the approaching Armageddon. An excellent book." Gore Vidal, Author

Why Millions Pray for a Quick Rapture ----
And Destruction of Planet Earth

1. Scofield’s system of biblical interpretation destroys the unity of the Bible, particularly the unity of God’s love and grace to mankind for all ages
2. It violates the meaning of Christ – and Christianity.
3. It does so by making Christians hostages to what present-day Jews do – or don’t do.
4. Scofield’s dispensationalsim places not Christ but rather Jews – and Israel – on center stage.  Holding that the Jewish state has first priority with God, the doctrine makes a cult of the land of Israel.  It places the Jewish state – and its priority with God – above the Church and the teachings of its head, Jesus Christ.
5. Scofield’s Dispensationalism not only hold Christ and Christianity in hostage, but also God.  It teaches that God cannot permit Christ to return until the Jews do their “earthly” part in a Scofield-devised scenario.
6. Scofield taught that “God has earthly promises for His earthly elect” – the Jews, and “heavenly promises for His heavenly elect” –the Christians.  That is pur Scofield.  But it’s not to be found  in Holy Scripture.
7. Scofield’s Dispensationalism cites “unconditional” covenants between God and man.  But there is not one unconditional covenant in all Scripture.
8. Scofield’s Dispensationalism negates the doctrine of the New Covenant established between God and all mankind by the blood of the crucified, buried and risen Christ.
9. Scofield’s Dispensationalism teaches a “secret” Rapture.  The word, from the Greed meaning “snatching away,” is subjective, not the objective reality.  The major event is the Resurrection.   The so-called Rapture is a minor event.  Scofield’s Dispensationalism makes it a major event.
10. Scofield’s dispensationalsim teaches that Christ will return to establish a Jewish kingdom, sitting on a throne in the third temple in Jerusalem, and presiding over Old Testament style temple worship such as sacrifices of red heifers.  Reverting to tribal laws was not, …what Christ was about.  He came with a new message.  And He is now sitting on an eternal throne.  He is the eternal King ruling over an eternal kingdom.  His mission was fulfilled.
11. Why…has Dispensationalism gained so many adherents?

1. “It appeals to those who like to feel they are on the ‘inside,’ that they are getting ‘the news’ in advance, that they and other like them know what was always in the mind of God.” [taken from page 48 & 49]
