Problem with Hagee's "support" of Israel

Submitted by Michael (United States), Jun 4, 2008 at 14:15

I too love the Jewish people as my ancestors in faith, God's firstborn, and currently as co-heirs in the worldwide family of God, which is the New Covenant. Since Mr. Hagee is a dispensationalist, telling Jews that Christ didn't come for them, is he really serving the Jewish people properly? I would say that telling someone they don't need Christ is about the least responsible thing one can do for another, and is potentially damaging.

While Islam is the enemy of Israel and the Jews, Islam is an enemy of mine. However, one could easily argue that Mr. Hagee is a spiritual delinquent at best, and certainly misleads those who also need Christ, although have been temporarily blinded.
