Bible Question:
Last night I watched a television program in which Rev. John Hagee spoke. Rev. Hagee was on Public Television. I was dumbfounded and found him to be remarkable. Rev. Hagee believes we need to have a preemptive attack on Iran, asap. Rev. Hagee believes we will usher in the return of Christ by such an attack. Verses were quoted from the usual verses that refer the end of times. Having watched Rev. Hagee several times on television, I think most of his preaching has to do with "end times". I am concerned that when Rev. Hagee speaks as one who is very knowledgable in the Bible and claims to be an "Evangelical Christian" he is misleading the public. The interviewer did say there are more than 25 different kinds Baptist groups. But the idea was put forth that this dod represent the majority of "Enangelical Christians". This next year being a presidential election year, should Christian leaders really speak out like as Rev. Hagee has? Should high profile leaders like Rev. Pat Robinson, publically announce their support of a person running for office? How does Romans 14:22 fit into being a Christian? Should a Christian vote for the best qualified person, if the person is not a Christian, or a Christian who lacks qualifications? justme |
Bible Answer: Dear justme, I watched that program, too. Lunatics used to pop up here and there, but we now have a wide range to choose from! Since the church teaches so little doctrine, few there be in the laity to rightly weigh their words. The world knows even less, so they think the kooks are representative of us all! Have we learned nothing from history? The country will not be saved by having a Christian in the presidency, nor will it be lost by having a heathen in office. The other political efforts of many Christians, in trying to make the lost moral is like putting makeup on a corpse. Each and every believer must do everything -- right down to brushing their teeth -- for the glory of God. As we search out and submit to the clear commands of Scripture, the Lord will lead in the gray areas. In Him, Doc |
