Trump's UN nominee Elise Stefanik just told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Israel has a biblical right to the West Bank.

That is the spot-on truth of the evangelical belief, and too few people know anything about their real basis for the “support” of Israel

If the Rapture were promised to take place on the moon, these faux Christians would “support” the moon’s right to exist without impediment

Which is made up by some guy in 1840.

This is covered in @swordsjew.bsky.social ‘s book and WAS A REAL SURPRISE to me.

“The nation of Israel was the chosen people of God under the Old Covenant; they are not the chosen people under the New Covenant. According to the New Testament, the true descendants of Abraham are those with the faith (not the bloodlines) of Abraham.”

It’s been an article of faith with Evangelical Christians since the 19th century

@elisestefanic will say anything to get confirmed. She has no integrity....just kisses Trump's ample behind to further her ambitions.

tonybennett.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is why Trump moving the embassy in 2018 was so important. These people are looking to fulfill Biblical prophecy and set up armageddon so Christ can return. Literally. This is why they seem so insane: because they are.

That temple ain't gonna rebuild itself and they need that and a fabulous war to get their fevered daydreams fulfilled.

daddyweasel.bsky.social•33 days ago

Monotheistic religions are the biggest fucking delusional cults there are

barrowma.bsky.social•33 days ago

Both sides know it's a con. Both sides think the other is the mark.

allgoodsohi.bsky.social•33 days ago

Until we take over.

boomerbag.bsky.social•33 days ago

No, not this Elise Stephanic?

bumpingalong.bsky.social•33 days ago

God botherers are so fucking weird. I wish their mythical rapture would actually happen and happen soon.

onsophiastreet.bsky.social•33 days ago

According to this Christian Zionist theology, Christians are the real Jews.

jedgeco.bsky.social•33 days ago

Israelis know this, and because they are not pre-millennial dispensationalists, they think this is a free win. But I think they severely underrate what fundamentalists will do to make their "prophesies" come true.

jedgeco.bsky.social•33 days ago

Like, what do your Johns Hagee do when the State of Israel controls "Greater Israel," but the Jewish diaspora says they like living where they are, thank you very much? What happens after their advocated pogroms don't force Jesus to come back?

cmwd.bsky.social•33 days ago

The tend to tune out Evangelicals when they get to the "convert or die" part

rgh1205.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is not said often or loud enough.

Evangelical Christians love Israel, not the Jewish people living in it and defending it. Israel needs to be there for the Rapture to occur.

mycroft-vii.bsky.social•32 days ago

Exactly what I was taught in Sunday school

estarianne.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yep

jaredhardd.bsky.social•33 days ago

It's such an impediment to progress in this country that most voters don't think the Republicans actually believe this loony shit. Like yes, they're *actual* religious extremists, not cosplayers.

sirschming.bsky.social•33 days ago

It’s amazing that even as you descend into a Nazi state, all you still do is obsess over Israel.

She claims that is what she believes. There is really no way to know for sure what most of these people believe. But I strongly suspect many if not most of them are just playing to the mob.

vs-phd.bsky.social•32 days ago

It's weird and sad, but typical, how Dems ask these gotcha questions at hearings but don't follow up with "are you insane?" when they get the answer they wanted.

seanmcginty.bsky.social•33 days ago

Stefanik, like the rest of these chuds, has no real beliefs beyond the accumulation of power

dennycarter.bsky.social•33 days ago

This was unquestionable at the Baptist high school I attended. I didn’t know anyone disagreed with it for a long time.

yeetski.bsky.social•33 days ago

We support Jews (but they need to convert or they will burn in hell)

sarmcdonnell.bsky.social•33 days ago

Funnily enough far right Israeli Jews want to kill Goys anyhow. So Conservative Christians and far right Israeli Jews will be at each other throats once they’ve banished Palestinians from Palestine….
Insanity indeed

pjeanne97.bsky.social•33 days ago

Im always surprised more people don’t realize this.

greatgenes.bsky.social•33 days ago

Sick of all these “Christians” who don’t understand a word of what Jesus actually said!

melwhatajoy.bsky.social•32 days ago

She would sell her child if it elevate her power. Zero moral compass.

lucyksy.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is an older article from the first term, but has huge relevance of their desire to hasten the apocalypse, complete with Xtian martyrdom.
