		<description>I love Screwtape! I have an original edition that I acquired from a used bookstore years ago&gt; IN the intro I learned something I didn&#039;t know, the original letters were published in a newspaper and the book was simply a compilation of those columns. Lewis had a goodly bit of political courage writing what he did about the war.

Christ once said, &quot;not everyone who is of Israel is Israel. While speaking specifically about Israel, it has equal application to the church. As one Church of God preacher said to me, &quot;you can slide into hell from a church pew as easily as you can from a bar stool.&quot; A person can lead a seeming holy life, but God sees the motivations, unlike man, and judges based upon the inside, not the cover.

Along the same lines, we can see the major portion of the evangelical church is dispensational, which is alright. The bible itself is dispensational, just not in the Scofieldian sense, which was mostly nonsense. Unfortunately, the dominant strain of dispensationalism is the Scofieldian strain, and that has lead to the acceptance of such visciously anti-christian organizations run by &quot;Jews,&quot;  the ADL being the the most prominent. Such organizations are not effectively criticized by evangelicals, mostly in the name of &quot;blessing Israel.&quot;

Alas, this has led, in part, to PC run amok, because the church has hobbled itself in the fear of being labled anti-Semitic, which has come to be considered saying anything critical to &quot;Jews&quot; or Israel. In short, the church has gelded itself.

Criticizing Israel, or &quot;Jews,&quot; is not anti-Semitism, any more than criticizing Whit could be labeled as being anti-Whitaker. Friends criticize friends. Enemies are more than happy to let you go to your destruction without warning. If you refuse to heed the warning, then you get what you have coming to you, and no one should feel sorry for you in your stupidity.

I place the word &quot;Jews&quot; in quotes because there is no such thing anymore. Hasn&#039;t been since Titus Legions burned the temple. The term &quot;Jew&quot; is a religious appelation meaning &quot;practitioner of the religion of Judah.&quot; The religion of Judah requires the sacrificial system be inoperation and that required either the tabernacle or the temple. Neither exists rendering the religion and impossibility. Rabbinical Judaism is, in short, a heresy of Judaism as much as Christianity is.

Like you, I have problems with the modern gelded church. It is not a problem of recent generation. It reaches back into the 1830s in the north, and was made countrywide by the Confederate defeat. Still, there are decent churches out there trying to do what a church is supposed to do. Some ministers, like Graham and Falwell, have succumbed to a desire to be liked (Graham) or a desire to use the political system to do the work of God (Falwell). Finding Churches that preach the truth of the need of a lifestyle of repentance is hard. Too many look at outward characteristics to determine if a person is holy. I knew an adulterous witch who plied her hobby everytime her Navy husband went to sea. She was not a &quot;hottie&quot; and if you looked at her you would have seen a &quot;church going&quot; woman that fulfilled all the expectations of a godly woman. The content of her heart was much different.</description>
