ADL ELEPHANT IN EVANGELICAL PARLOR
By Rev. Ted Pike
28 Jul 08
The latest mixing of synagogue and state by the Anti-Defamation
League consists of 36 pages of proposals it wants included in the
Republican and Democrat presidential party platforms. (See, ADL
Submits Policy Priorities to Democratic and Republican Platform Committees)
ADL, through its "Policy, Priorities, and Recommendations
of the Anti-Defamation League," desires to plank the Democratic-Republican
platforms with the rotten wood of more of its hate laws and pro-homosexual,
anti-Christian, and pro-Zionist initiatives.
While ADL decries as "anti-Semitic" evangelical attempts
to intrude into Judaism by witnessing to Jews, ADL’s proposal
barges into the ethical and theological domain of Christians, trampling
Christian values. Here's part of ADL's wish list:
Pass Hate Laws
ADL boldly takes credit for inspiring hate laws in 45 U.S. states
and wants passage of its federal hate bill as soon as possible. "ADL
drafted the model hate crimes statute which has formed the basis
of many of the existing hate crime laws in forty-five states and
the District of Columbia ." "We urge passage of the
pending Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act as a top
priority…" (pg. 14) (See, http://www.adl.org/99hatecrime/intro.asp)
ADL wants the U.S. to increasingly unite with international "anti-hate" gestapos
such as its Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe .
(See, Global
Hate Crimes Gestapo Being Created) "The U.S. should
enhance its own training of international law enforcement in the
area of monitoring and responding to hate crimes." (page 3)
Privately, ADL wants international enforcement of hate crimes laws
to proceed from Jerusalem . Prime Minister David Ben Gurion prophesied
Jerusalem would become "the supreme court of mankind," arbitrating
all disputes between the 'federated continents' of the Zionist new
world order. (Look Magazine, 1962) ADL encourages Republican and
Democrat leaders to promote its "Office of Global Anti-Semitism" in
the U.S. State Department as it links America to hate crimes bureaucracies
in Canada, Australia, and Europe . (page 3) (See, The
Real Motive Behind the 'Department of Global Anti-Semitism')
Fight "Anti-Semitism"
Christians may think ADL's opposition to anti-Semitism and creation
of laws and agencies to fight it threatens only radical Islamic and
white supremacist groups. On the contrary, Christians must face the
fact that to ADL "anti-Semitism" largely refers to Christian
evangelism of Jews and the New Testament claim that the Jews had
Christ crucified. (See, ADL's
Foxman: New Testament is Anti-Semitic) The ultimate target
for ADL hate laws is public proclamation of the good news of the
gospel of Jesus Christ. When directed toward Jews, ADL calls such
witnessing "unwelcome proselytizing." (page 27)
End Criticism of Homosexuality
ADL says, "The United States should take a leadership role
in mobilizing government efforts to confront and denounce. . .homophobia
and all forms of hatred and bigotry." Again, since evangelical
Christians remain the primary critics of sodomy, they're the brunt
of ADL's efforts to enlist government suppression.
Pass ENDA
ADL says, "We support prompt passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination
Act as another essential step forward for the United States toward
ensuring equality and opportunity for all Americans.” (page
30) ENDA is ADL's federal workplace hate crimes bill. It makes
any Christian who refuses to hire a homosexual or fires him because
of his homosexuality, or who won't sell or rent property to a homosexual,
into a federal hate criminal. ENDA will impose huge fines on
offenders and imprisonment on those who repeat the offense. ENDA
ushers in the almost certain eventuality that churches will be forced
to hire homosexuals as clergy.
Support Same-Sex Marriage
"…ADL supports efforts to extend all the rights, protections
and benefits of civil marriage to same-sex couples." ADL
says it is proud of the amicus brief it was invited to submit to
the California Supreme Court, which may have led to the court's decree
legalizing same-sex marriage. On the other hand, "The
Anti-Defamation League opposes bans on same-sex marriage," such
as now is being proposed by a referendum of 1.1 million California
voters. (page 31-32) (See, ADL
Settles for 'Piecemeal Conquest')
End Christian Witness in the Military
"ADL is concerned that religious harassment and unwelcome
proselytizing are an ongoing problem in the military and the nation's
service academies." "ADL calls for Congressional
oversight and hearings that could lead to the adoption of consistent
guidelines to address reports of religious intolerance and proselytizing."
Navy chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt bore the brunt of policies
in the U.S. Air Force and Navy laid down by Chief Ethical Advisor
Rabbi Arnold Resnicoff, banning public prayers in Jesus' name by
military chaplains. ADL recommends political parties support a ban
on all servicemen and women from active witnessing for Christ. (page
27) (See, Correction:
Speech at Air Force Academy Not Free)
Discourage Biblical Creationism
Concerning teaching of creation as well as evolution in public
schools, "ADL has consistently opposed these troubling initiatives
- including so-called "Academic Freedom Acts" which support
the teaching and consideration of intelligent design as an alternative
to evolution." (page 25) ADL wants America 's children taught
the perverse, unscientific idea that they evolved from slime. This
will help them embrace the next perverted step in the ADL-indoctrinated
school system: homosexuality. (See, How
the Bible Became 'Hate Speech' in California)
Discourage Education outside the Public Schools
ADL stresses the importance of improving public education, not
abandoning it for private Christian schools or homeschooling. ADL
says, "The glory of the American system of public education
is that it is for all children, regardless of their religion, their
academic talents, their mental or physical disabilities, or their
ability to pay a fee." ADL disapproves of vouchers that fund
private religious education. It wants all American children forced
into public schools where its pro-homosexual, relativist values will
be thrust upon a young and easily influenced, captive audience.
Discourage Criticism of Israel
"The U.S. must continue its historic support of the state
of Israel," says ADL, "to ensure its qualitative military
edge to promote its security." The U.S. government and political
parties, it says, should "combat anti-Israel and anti-Jewish
incitement." (page 5)
Most evangelicals, even if they disapprove of ADL's anti-Christianity,
reflexively resist the idea that there is anything anti-Christian
or threatening about Israel . The reality is that ADL, as Israel ’s
primary PR representative to the world, epitomizes Israel 's true
attitudes toward Jesus and His followers. Although organized in different
ways, ADL, Knesset, Mossad, IDF, and Zionism are one.
"In Relentless Attack"
As Rabbi Daniel Lapin warned, liberal Jewish activism, "is
in relentless attack on evangelical Christianity." (See, Rabbi
Lapin: Christians Under 'Relentless Attack' by 'Secular Judaism')
Yet, while the ADL war-elephant ransacks the parlor of Christendom,
incredibly, evangelical leaders give every impression that the elephant
doesn't exist! With an ability to censor equal to any totalitarian
dictatorship, all leaders of the Christian/conservative right cooperate
in a pact of silence. They agree the word ADL will never, never be
uttered in public.
As a result, even as ADL's hate crime and same-sex initiatives
trample Christian rights in California, Oregon, Colorado, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, etc., most of 70 million American evangelicals have
never heard of ADL. Why? Their trusted leaders have never publicly
said the word.
Why don’t evangelical leaders protest ADL? It's because
they are terrified of ADL's power to ruin Christian organizations,
ministries, and reputations by labelling them anti-Semitic.
Meanwhile, ADL looks on these cowards of Christendom with contempt.
Authentic Christianity contains an astonishing assertion: The Son
of God came down to earth and allowed Himself to be publicly humiliated
and crucified, yet resurrected so that extraordinary and divine power
and wisdom could be imparted to His followers. He promised, through
His Holy Spirit, a courage and capacity to oppose evil that
is not of this world. But, judging from the fact that
evangelicals are so easily deceived and their leaders tremble before
ADL, silenced before the power of an infinitesimally small percentage
of the world's population, can we blame ADL for believing that the
alleged supernatural power behind Christianity doesn't exist? Such
evangelical behavior only confirms to skeptical Jews that Jesus must
surely not be all-empowering God but an impostor and false prophet,
as the Talmud describes Him. (See, U.S.
Government, Talmud Mock New Testament)
It is hard to imagine a greater spiritual failure than to empower
such evil by the cowardice of silence. Yet evangelical leaders, evidently
fearing the Jews much more than God or the possible contempt of their
suffering descendants, continue, with almost military discipline,
to see, hear, and speak no evil of ADL.
