Christ at the Checkpoint, the Trifecta of the Scorners, the Fools and the Simple

2 Timothy 3:15-17, "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

Today, an increasing number of people and/or organizations are questioning these very biblical verses/principles. The organization, Christ at the Checkpoint, is certainly no exception and is likely part of what’s being called the emergent church.

Proverbs 1:22, "How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?"

Jan Markell is a frequent contributor to the Rapture Ready website. Her article on the organization, Christ at the Checkpoint is a very good read.

'"Jesus Isn't Coming Back to "Occupied Territory"'

Ms. Markell says it best, "Here we go again. Another Christ at the Checkpoint (CATC) conference is set to launch March 10-14. It's another tragic event that tells half-truths and hardly the entire story. The theme is "Christ at the Checkpoint III: Your Kingdom Come." It's based on the Lord's Prayer and how Christ would approach the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today."

CM commented concerning scorners, "To make a mouth" and referenced to Proverbs 14:6, "A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth." Jesus' brother James has more to say about wisdom, James 1:5, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” By promoting replacement theology, those aligned with CATC are most assuredly mocking God’s wisdom and pronouncements in His unconditional Land Covenant.

Proverbs 21:24, "Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath." Add to that Proverbs 19:29, "Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools." No one can say that they were not warned.

More for the fool, Proverbs 15:2, "The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness." And even more, Proverbs 15:14, "The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness."

As for the Simple, he is one who lacks discernment and is receptive to most everything. Here, another first by James is applicable. James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed."

Satan,fallen man, the church and the Holocaust

So just who was responsible for the Holocaust? Was at the culmination of the thousands of years of plotting and scheming by Satan that started in the garden? Genesis 3:15, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

Was it “The Everlasting Hatred” of the Edomite’s and Ishmaelite’s? As an aside, the Edomite’s were the descendants of Esau and often battled the Jewish nation and/ or often allied themselves with whoever was fighting Israel, The Book of Obadiah is a one chapter book that really shows the anger of God. Jeremiah 49 predicted utter destruction of Edom as did the Book of Obadiah. Amos 1 also told of their destruction. Eventually the Edomite’s became absorbed in desert tribes, “a people whose name and language had perished. Obadiah’s prophecy had been fulfilled.” Origen (3rd century A.D.) Surprisingly enough, during the Great Tribulation the remnant of Israel will seek refuge in Edom/ Petra and will be supernaturally protected there.

Was it the Roman Catholic Church and who was/is responsible at least in part for the heresy of Replacement Theology? Was it the Reformers who never completed the Reformation and also allowed Replacement Theology to creep into the Protestant churches?

What of the concordats between the Roman Catholic Church and Adolf Hitler and Mussolini? By these agreements the church was not to interfere with the state and vice a versa. Pius XII earned the less than desirable title of “Hitler’s Pope.” The Roman Catholic Church has attempted to redact history, however, there are many, many pictures available demonstrating a very cozy relationship.

Was it the Christian church that failed to speak up? What of the ordinary people who claimed to have no knowledge of the ongoing Holocaust?

What of the United States and other countries that turned away Jewish refugees attempting to unload from ships?

Was it due to the adherence by most to the theory of evolution whereby man is only an animal? The theory of evolution has reduced God's creation, man, to the status of an animal. There is little value placed on the unborn and millions are slaughtered in the womb every year.

Currently, anti-Semitism is spreading throughout the planet like an out of control plague. So what made the Holocaust possible; fallen man.
