“GOD’S LEARNING CHANNEL” IS MESSIANIC/HEBRAIC

 

    “God’s Learning Channel”, http://www.godslearningchannel.com/site/index.php, founded by Al and Tommie Cooper, is decidedly pro-Israel. So are most Christians and this blog. However, as Christians, we are called to separate fact from fiction, biblical truth from error and heresy, even if it risks being branded as anti-Semitic by Jews, Christians, and others just because we are not deceived and dare to speak out about such deception.
    Nor is belief in “replacement theology” all that common as GLC portrays. Most Christians do believe that they, as Gentile believers in Christ as Savior, have been “grafted into” the tree (Romans 11:17-32), that some branches have been pruned out (unbelieving Jews), and that the tree of life is not Judaism or Israel, but life in Christ, the second person of the Trinity, which Messianic Jews and Jews in general have a problem with.
    Likewise, the Messianic/Hebraic movement broadbrushes law, confusing Mosaic law with Rabbinic law, mystical ancient Jewish writings, and the Torah, treating the latter three as inspired and authoritative, and thus on an equal par with the Bible, and even then, only a Bible translated in a non-Greek, non-Western format, e.g., the Jewish Bible and/or the Jewish New Testament.
    As followers of the real biblical (and yes, ethnically Jewish) Jesus Christ, we can and should be able to easily discern and expose that the Messianic “Yeshua”, is yet another powerless, man-crafted and false Christ, stripped of His divine (as well as human) nature and authority, relegated to a secondary status to Jewish laws, writings and customs, and who suits perfectly the type and character of an end times “earthly” (or carnal, if you will) Messiah who will be the head of a one world visible “congregation” in preparation for the anti-Christ.
    It is a Christ fabricated in the back room gnostic “conversations”of mixed Jewish and “neo-evangelical” emergent minds, who in their great combined wisdom, have created an absolutely dangerous theological syncretism that never existed before, and which portends and prepares the kingdom on earth, not of, by, or for Christ despite their claims as being such, but a kingdom of, by and for the anointed, inspired few to rule over people who they view as being a lot less wise and a lot more sinful. Meanwhile, those they have deceived will be diverted from the real Jesus Christ of the Bible as inadequate to complete the burdensome task of completing your sanctification.
    Such is the case with yet another ministry which is presented as being “from God” and a “channel of learning”:

Here is an unedited snippet from their website. See if you can detect and discern the errors therein:

“Many Christians today try to deny the Jewish origins or inherent “Jewishness” of the Christian faith. They fail to acknowledge that their Messiah, Jesus Himself, was Jewish and obeyed the Torah. Any doctrine that states, “The church has replaced the Jewish people as the Chosen Ones,” is called Replacement Theology. GLC stands firmly against this unbiblical and anti-Semitic doctrine. Biblically, the church is grafted into the family of Israel by Christ as heirs according to the promise (see Galatians 3:29; Ephesians 3:6). So, if we be brothers and sisters of Israel, let us stand with Her! Let us continually pray for the peace of Jerusalem!”

Our answer is Hebrews 11-The people of faith which made them righteous.
That righteousness did not save all the Jewish people from their sins by imputation. Nor did these patriarchs look to an earthly kingdom, but rather to a heavenly one, as in Hebrews 11:16-“But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.”
