In episode 42, I will be using Andrew Sandlin’s Facebook post in response to my latest video on Douglas Wilson, together with the Antioch Declaration, as an occasion to try to get at the heart of the Judeo-Christian heresy. And yes, it is heresy. If Judeo-Christianity is not heresy proper, it is heresy in practice. This is a very important conversation for this reason:
We’re used to dealing with modern Israel from the perspective of Christian Zionism, that is, as it is usually espoused by those who hold to Dispensationalism. However, what we are seeing is, men who have made a whole career in opposing Dispensational theology, and yet, all of the sudden, they now sound just as Zionistic as the most rabid Dispensationalist.
So, what do we do with covenant theologians in the “Reformed tradition” who seem to be taking a view which is entirely contradictory to their own theology, and they are actually condemning, and even anathematizing, people who firmly hold to the exact same confession of faith as they hold to? What is going on here, and how do we deal with such madness?
I will attempt to answer all of these questions and more in this podcast. I will begin doing so by laying out a full summary of the history of Judaism from Moses to modern times, as well as laying out the history and origins of the term “Judeo-Christian” itself. We will examine these things and see that the common root is Jewish Supremacy, not Jesus Christ.
By the grace of God, I hope clear lines will be drawn in the sand. There is no “Judeo-Christian.” The Talmud, just like the Quran, is a book that is opposed to Christianity. There can be no compromise in light of the exclusive claims of Jesus Christ. Syncretism is sin and idolatry, no matter what form it takes. There can be no compromise on the gospel itself.
O’ Lord, bless the truth of your gospel, both now and forevermore! Amen.
