2. Christian Zionism is one
part of an integrated
package.

4. The package includes
- biblical literalism and inerrancy

6. The package includes
- biblical literalism and inerrancy
- American (white male)
supremacy

8. The package includes
- biblical literalism and inerrancy
- American (white male)

- conservatism (i.e. the best days
are behind us/dark days ahead)

10. The package includes
- biblical literalism and inerrancy
- American (white male)
supremacy
- conservatism (i.e. the best days
are behind us/dark days ahead)
- a belief that God possesses
violent holiness

12. The package raises a lot of money
through religious broadcasting -
It is anxiety-based.
It is hostility-based.
It is loyalty-based.
Anxiety, hostility, and in-group
loyalty raise money.

13. 13

14. The “eschatology module” cannot
be changed without addressing the
deeper systemic issues:
theological systems
personal systems
fundraising systems

15. 15

16. These deeper systemic issues
involve a change of mind and
heart, not merely a change in
opinion.

17. 17

18. We must have the courage to differ
graciously. “Wow, I see that
differently!”

19. 19

20. We must articulate a better vision of
Christian faith - especially for younger
generations:
coherent
comprehensive
more intelligent
more motivating
more passionate
more inspiring.

21. 21

22. We need a better choice than
ignorance on fire
and
intelligence on ice.

24. Christian “justice, peace, and joy in
the Holy Spirit”
is a far better option than Christian
Zionism.

26. Let us proclaim and embody that
better news!

28. Joshua 23
A long time afterward, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their
surrounding enemies, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,
Joshua summoned all Israel, its elders and heads, its judges and officers, and
said to them, "I am now old and well advanced in years. And you have seen all
that the LORD your God has done to all these nations for your sake, for it is the
LORD your God who has fought for you.
Behold, I have allotted to you as an inheritance for your tribes those nations that
remain, along with all the nations that I have already cut off, from the Jordan to the
Great Sea in the west.
The LORD your God will push them back before you and drive them out of your
sight. And you shall possess their land, just as the LORD your God promised you.
Therefore, be very strong to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of
the Law of Moses, turning aside from it neither to the right hand nor to the
left,
that you may not mix with these nations remaining among you or make mention of
the names of their gods or swear by them or serve them or bow down to them,
but you shall cling to the LORD your God just as you have done to this day.
For the LORD has driven out before you great and strong nations. And as for you,
no man has been able to stand before you to this day.

29. One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the LORD your God who fights
for you, just as he promised you.
Be very careful, therefore, to love the LORD your God.
For IF you turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations remaining among
you and make marriages with them, so that you associate with them and they with
you,
know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations
before you, but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides
and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from OFF this good ground that the
LORD your God has given you.
"And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and
souls, all of you, that not one word has failed of all the good things that the
LORD your God promised concerning you.
ALL have come to pass for you; NOT ONE of them has failed.
But just as ALL the good things that the LORD your God promised
concerning you HAVE BEEN fulfilled for you, so the LORD will bring upon
you all the evil things, until he has destroyed you from OFF this good land
that the LORD your God has given you,
if you transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded
you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them. Then the anger of the
LORD will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from OFF the
good land that he has given to you."

30. The Law in Deuteronomy 10 says:
17For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the
great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and
accepts no bribes. 18He defends the cause of the fatherless
and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you,
giving them food and clothing. 19And you are to love those who
are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.
Then, in Deuteronomy 28 (frightening to read), the Lord
promises the people will be defeated in battle and evicted from
their land if they don't obey his commands, including,
presumably, Deuteronomy 10:19.

31. The Law says in Leviticus 19:
33“ ‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not
mistreat them. 34The foreigner residing among you must be
treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were
foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
And similarly, in Leviticus 26, terrifying consequences follow if
the people don't obey the Lord's commands, including,
presumably, Leviticus 19:33.

33. Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding
God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try
to share that knowledge with as many people as I can.When
someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example,
I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be
an abomination... End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some
other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.

34. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male
and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring
nations.A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans,
but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a
fair price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she
is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19-24.The
problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women
take offense.

35. 4.When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it
creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9.The problem is,
my neighbors.They claim the odor is not pleasing to them.
Should I smite them?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the
Sabbath.Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.
Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the
police to do it?
6.A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than
homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there
'degrees' of abomination?

36. 7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I
have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading
glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some
wiggle-
room here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the
hair around their temples, even though this is expressly
forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig
makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

37. 10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different
crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of
two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to
curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the
trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16.
Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do
with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy
considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.
Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and
unchanging.
Your adoring fan.

39. From a handwritten manual from Mohammad Atta’s bag:
"Keep a very open mind, keep a very open heart of what you are to face... You will be entering paradise. You will be
entering the happiest life, everlasting life ...
"Check all of your items – your bag, your clothes, knives, your will, your IDs, your passport, all your papers. Check
your safety before you leave ... Make sure that nobody is following you ... Make sure that you are clean, your clothes
are clean, including your shoes."
"Purify your heart and clean it from all earthly matters. The time of fun and waste has gone. The time of judgement has
arrived. Hence we need to utilise those few hours to ask God for forgiveness... You have to be convinced that those few
hours left you in your life are very few. From there you will begin to live the happy life, the infinite paradise. Be
optimistic. The prophet was always optimistic."
Everybody hates death, fears death. But only those, the believers who know the life after death and the reward after
death, would be the ones who will be seeking death.... Try to pray the morning prayer with an open heart. Don't leave
but when you have washed for the prayer."
When the hijackers stepped on board, they were to say: "Oh God, open all doors for me. Oh God who answers prayers
and answers those who ask you, I am asking you for your help. I am asking you for forgiveness. I am asking you to
lighten my way. I am asking you to lift the burden I feel."
The last prayer concluded: "There is no God but God, I being a sinner. We are of God, and to God we return." The
document recovered from the crash site in Pennsylvania bore many similarities, with some additional details. It
exhorted the hijackers to shave their body hair the night
"Remember: it is a raid for the sake of Allah. Recite the prayer. As you take the seat, recite the prayer. Mention Allah a
lot." When the hijacking begins, "Shout Allah is great because this shout strikes terrors in the hearts of the infidels," the
document said.
And the moment of death should be accompanied by the basic statement of belief recited by all Muslims at the call to
prayer: "Seconds before the target, your last words should be, there is no god but Allah. Mohammed is his messenger.

40. Islamophobia
We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and
convert them to Christianity. We weren’t punctilious about
locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We
carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That’s war.
And this is war. - Ann Counter, National Review
Islam is something we can’t afford any more in the
Netherlands. I want the fascist Qur-an banned. We need to
stop the Islamisation of the Netherlands. That means no more
mosques, no more Islamic schools, no more imams. - Geert
Wilders, Dutch politician
These people [Arabs and Muslims] need to be forcibly
converted to Christianity ... It’s the only thing that can
probably turn them into human beings. - Michael Savage,
syndicated radio host
Islam has attacked us ... The God of Islam is not the same
God.... Islam is a very evil religion. All the values that we as a

41. Islam has attacked us ... The God of Islam is not the same
God.... Islam is a very evil religion. All the values that we as a
nation hold dear, they don’t share those same values at all,
these countries that have the majority of Muslims.
- Franklin Graham, Christian evangelist

42. The Bible and Violence

43. Derek Flood graphically displays Paul’s edited quotation of Psalm 18:41-49 and
Deuteronomy 32:43 in Romans 15:8-10. Notice what Paul picks to retain and what he
chooses to reject:
For I tell you that Christ has become a servant
of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the
promises made to the patriarchs so that the Gentiles
may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: “I
destroyed my foes. They cried for help, but there
was no one to save them—to the LORD, but he did
not answer…. He is the God who avenges me, who
puts the Gentiles under me…. Therefore I will
praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to
your name.” (Ps. 18:41–49).

44. Again, it says, “Rejoice, O Gentiles,
with his people, for he will avenge the
blood of his servants; he will take
vengeance on his enemies and make
atonement for his land and people.”
(Deut. 32:43)

45. Flood concludes: “Paul is making a very different
point from the original intent of these Psalms. In
fact, he is making the opposite point—we should
not cry out for God’s wrath and judgment [on the
other], because we are all sinners in need of mercy.”
He concludes, “This is not a case of careless out-of-
context proof-texting; it is an artful and deliberate
reshaping of these verses … from their original cry
for divine violence into a confession of universal
culpability that highlights our need for mercy.”
