I’ll lead off by quoting a brief missive by Dr. Stephen Jones. On May 2, he wrote:
Yesterday congress passed what is called the Anti-Semitic Awareness Act.
It is a bill which criminalizes any criticism of the Israeli state or of Zionism. It also criminalizes any Bible passage (such as Acts 4:10) which states that the Jews crucified Jesus. And because the bill assumes that all Jews are Zionists, it confounds anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism.
Many Christian congressmen voted for this bill. What will they do when the Bible is banned? No doubt they will claim that they never intended for this to happen, or that they voted for the bill without even reading it. Yet they should have known how unconstitutional the bill is, as it greatly restricts the right of free speech.
This would not have been possible had it not been for the support of Christian Zionists such as Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who used to be a constitutional lawyer.
By restricting free speech, he has betrayed all of us and is a good example of a modern Judas.
Amen, Dr. Jones.
House Speaker Mike Johnson touts himself as being a strong man of faith. He calls himself an evangelical Christian. Yet Johnson has quickly joined the ranks of the Deep State and atheist Zionism as a big-government, warmongering, anti-free speech and antichrist toady: an enemy of God’s Holy Word.
The bill referenced above that Johnson rammed through Congress codifies into U.S. law blasphemy against New Testament Scriptures. Real Christians couldn’t have any part of such sacrilege.
Only the foolish ignore the words of Christ where He said, Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Matthew 7:15)
In a similar fashion, the Apostle Paul warned:
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (II Corinthians 11:13 – 15)
Jesus also told us frankly: Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Matthew 7:20)
By his fruits, Mike Johnson has proven himself to be a false prophet and deceitful worker.
Remember, the Antisemitic Awareness Act is a bill which criminalizes any criticism of the Israeli state or of Zionism. It also criminalizes any Bible passage (such as Acts 4:10) which states that the Jews crucified Jesus.
Let’s read Acts 4:10. The Apostle Peter is the speaker:
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. [Emphasis added]
According to Mike Johnson’s bill, preachers and Christians cannot quote this verse from God’s Word without being guilty of “antisemitism.”
And let’s not forget Matthew 27:20:
But the [Jewish] chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. [Emphasis added]
Then, according to God’s Holy Word, the Jewish crowd shouted to Pilate,
His blood be on us, and on our children. [Emphasis added] (Matthew 27:25)
This proclamation by that Jewish mob was a public admission of their bloodguilt for the death of Jesus Christ.
Again, this passage of God’s Word is illegal under Johnson’s “antisemitism” bill.
Plus, Acts 7:52 records Stephen proclaiming to the Jews:
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One [Jesus]; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers. [Emphasis added]
And then the Jews killed Stephen, the first Christian martyr.
This is another Biblical passage that Johnson has commanded that we tear out of our Bibles.
And notice the myriad of mentions in the Gospels where the Jews are recorded as trying to kill Jesus: Mark 14:44; John 5:16; 5:18; 7:30; 7:32; 8:59; 10:31; 10:39; 11:57; etc. Johnson demands that we tear these passages from the Gospels out of our Bibles as being “antisemitic.”
The passages in the Book of Acts that record the attempts by the Jews to persecute, beat, imprison and kill Christ’s apostles are almost too numerous to count. See Acts 9:23; 11:19; 12:3; 13:50; 14:5; 14:19; 17:5; 18:12; 20:3; 21:27; 22:30; 24:27; 25:7; 25:24; 26:2; 26:7; 28:17.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (a professing Christian) considers all of these Bible passages “antisemitic” and demands through law that they be banned and the people who quote or proclaim these Biblical truths be treated as criminals.
