| Fifteen leaders of US churches and other faith-based organizations have asked Congress to reevaluate US military aid to Israel. The religious leaders sent a letter to Congress members on Monday, calling for an investigation into possible violations by Israel of the US Foreign Assistance Act and the US Arms Export Control Act, which would make Israel ineligible for US military aid. (Snip) continued US military assistance to Israel -- offered without conditions or accountability -- will only serve to sustain the status quo and Israel’s military occupation of the Palestinian territories," the letter, signed by leaders of the Lutheran, Methodist,

Comments:
It's the National Council of Churches which seems to have been thoroughly infiltrated by leftists who are no closer to God than the typical Marxist. I'd tell all the signatories to this letter to ''go to hell,'' but that hardly seems necessary.

Sounds like the Jeremiah Wright - Louis Farrakhan type of churches to me.
A pox upon all their Houses (of 'worship'?)

Not even a bishop can speak for the Methodist church - only the General Conference can do that. I am not surprised by the National Council of Churches' position. In my opinion the have nothing to do with Christian principles.
Shame, shame on these people who do not sign their name.

Perhaps a little refresher course in their own language might be helpful (Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's)
So church guys, you take care of the sinners and let our government take care of military aid to Israel.
I stand with Israel.

It is the leftoids mascarading as honest churchmen who are pushing and spouting this crap. Apparently they missed the dump truck ride to the local dhimmi HQ in Ohio that got the pile of horse manure plopped on its doorstep.

After growing up attending Methodist churches, being married in one, making sure that all four of our children attended Sunday School and church regularly and generously supporting them with my dollars, I now consider myself to be a former Methodist. Because of the UMC ongoing campaign against Israel and por Palestinian stance, I have given up on them.
And the Prtestant churchs wonder why support is falling?

Historically, or biblically, if you will, people or nations that have gone against Israel, have not fared well.

The drop in support in these progressive denominations is offset by an increase in Christians who call themselves "non-denominational." The exodus began when the denominations started to substitute progressive politics for the Gospel. It is a response of faithful Christians to the Lord's call: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues." REV 18:4.

Last night I was searching for a local Lutheran church & went to the ECRA website... where I read about this action.
Now I am searching for another denomination.

These aren't churches and they damnsure aren't being run by "men of God", but rather socalist opportunists hiding behind the frock like the cowards they always are.

#12 – The passage from Revelation 18:4 means that the “church” is commanded to leave the ungodly and does not mandate leaving mainstream, traditional denominations. If a denomination no longer adheres to the teachings of the Bible and credal documents, believers are “commanded” to leave the “ungodly.”

#13 – The liberal Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) does NOT represent all Lutherans and by its actions is besmirching all other Lutherans. The ELCA is the only Lutheran synod with membership in the National Council of Churches USA.
The newly formed North American Lutheran Church (NALC) in August 2010 came about due to the breaking away of ELCA members who could no longer condone the actions of the ELCA. The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) and the Lutheran Church Wisconsin Synod (WELS) are conservative and adhere to the teachings of the Bible and Lutheran Confessions.

#12 – Clarification of #15 – “… believers are ‘commanded’ to leave the ‘ungodly.’ If one mainstream, traditional denomination becomes ‘ungodly,’ there are other mainstream, traditional denominations that remain ‘godly.’ Nondenominational is not the be-all, end-all.

The Israeis would have been driven into the sea or annihilated, every man, woman and child, in 1973 if President Richard Nixon had not rushed them massive miltary aid in a short period of time.
Anyone who would deny them this military aid does not deserve to live.

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama. In 2008, Obama won independents in the state by

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps
