Supporters of Israel have generally been thrilled with Trump’s cabinet picks so far, while supporters of the jihad against the Jewish state have grown progressively (double entendre intended) more dismayed and enraged. Among the latter group is Archbishop Atallah Hanna, the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Sebastia in Judea and Samaria, that is, the West Bank. Archbishop Hanna was not only profoundly unhappy with Trump’s choice of Mike Huckabee to be ambassador of Israel; he also took the opportunity to register his distaste for the whole idea of “Christian Zionism,” of which Huckabee is a foremost exponent.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Standing next to these head choppers, it is wise to spout anything to please them.
Luchtpint says
That’s basically the gist of it.
The Istanbulian says
He, as an Arab Christian and bishop on top of that, is a Christian Zionist himself; or he wouldn’t feel the need to not be in Arabia and following the teachings of a Jew at that.

What is so prevalent these days, more so than I can ever recall, are the people who do not know of what they speak, but speak so loudly.
For a person to be a ***real**** Christian, and not a money-making, or attention-hog pretender, that one has to be obedient to Christ and make every attempt to have the same mindset as Christ.
Jesus considered the feelings of everyone. He told the Greek lady…in a gentle manner…that He was sent to the Jews.
Jesus instructed the Apostle Peter….a Christian and a Jew…”Feed my little sheep.” Jesus did not qualify that command by singling out one group of people to avoid feeding.
Jesus also told His followers to ‘be as your Father in heaven, who makes the sun shine and the rain fall’ on everyone. God sends blessings down, and His sun and rain are shared by everyone.
After Jesus had returned to His Father in heaven, Peter was given a vision which was to teach him a vital lesson. That lesson, for Peter and all other Christians, is “God is not partial.”
The Bible Psalm says “Oh, you lovers of Jehovah, hate what is bad”
The Proverb tells readers which things “Jehovah does hate.”
None of that singles out Jews for hatred. None of that tells Christians that if anyone believes that the Jews should have a home, they should be hated.
This guy, who has ignored Jesus regarding titles, is also ignoring what Jesus commanded Peter and His other Apostles and disciples about “love” being the “greatest commandment.”
This person is just as blind as the guy calling himself ‘pope.’
If one is afraid to speak the Truth, then that one should not speak. If one sets himself up as a shepherd of God’s flock, that one bears a heavy responsibility to shepherd according to God’s commands.
The ‘blind guide,’ should seek a different career.
Siddi Nasrani says
A very good point. (somehistory)
Your quote, ” This person is just as blind as the guy calling himself ‘pope.’
I have always wondered why The Pope ( meaning Father ) is called Pope,
as every Christian should know that there is only one Father who resides in
Heaven, the Creator, Jehovah Sabbath Israel.

Thank you, Siddi.
Yes, Jesus said, “Do not call anyone your Father on earth ,for One is your Father in heaven.”
The taking of titles is going against the direct command of Jesus Christ.
