Church of England Leaders Abandon Biblical Truth on Israel

Church of England Leaders Abandon Biblical Truth on Israel

Faith Facts

  • Church of England leaders have rejected biblical promises regarding Israel in favor of politically motivated accusations
  • Historical evidence and facts on the ground contradict claims of genocide, revealing a departure from Anglican theological roots
  • The abandonment of scriptural truth on Israel represents a dangerous theological shift within the historic denomination

The Church of England, once a bastion of biblical Christianity, has strayed far from its theological moorings. In a troubling development that should concern all believers who hold Scripture as authoritative, leaders within this historic denomination have embraced a narrative about Israel that contradicts both biblical truth and historical reality.

These church leaders have chosen to align themselves with political accusations of genocide against Israel, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. This represents not merely a political miscalculation, but a fundamental rejection of God’s covenant promises to the Jewish people as recorded throughout Scripture.

The facts on the ground tell a dramatically different story than the one being promoted by these Anglican officials. Israel has repeatedly demonstrated restraint even while defending its citizens from terrorist attacks. The nation has provided humanitarian aid, issued warnings before military operations, and consistently sought to minimize civilian casualties — actions incompatible with any legitimate definition of genocide.

History reveals the absurdity of these charges. The Jewish people have experienced actual genocide within living memory during the Holocaust. To apply this term to Israel’s defensive military operations trivializes genuine genocide and dishonors the memory of those who suffered under true systematic extermination.

What makes this theological departure even more troubling is its contradiction of Anglican roots. The Church of England historically maintained a strong connection to biblical Israel, recognizing God’s ongoing covenant with the Jewish people. This tradition drew directly from Scripture’s clear teaching about God’s faithfulness to His promises.

The biblical record leaves no room for ambiguity regarding God’s commitment to Israel. From Genesis through Revelation, Scripture affirms God’s special relationship with the Jewish people and the land He promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These are not merely historical footnotes but eternal covenants that cannot be nullified by human opinion or political fashion.

By abandoning this biblical foundation, Church of England leaders have placed themselves in opposition to God’s revealed Word. They have chosen contemporary political correctness over eternal truth, prioritizing approval from secular authorities over faithfulness to Scripture.

This situation serves as a sobering reminder for all Christians. When church leaders begin interpreting world events through the lens of popular opinion rather than biblical truth, the entire foundation of faith becomes unstable. The Church’s authority rests not in cultural relevance but in faithful proclamation of God’s unchanging Word.

Believers must remain vigilant against similar theological drift in their own denominations and churches. The pressure to conform to worldly narratives about Israel and the Jewish people will only intensify. Standing firm on biblical truth may invite criticism, but faithfulness to God’s Word must always take precedence over human approval.

The Church of England’s embrace of anti-Israel rhetoric also reveals a deeper spiritual blindness. Throughout history, nations and institutions that have set themselves against the Jewish people have ultimately faced God’s judgment. Scripture warns clearly that those who curse Israel will themselves be cursed.

True Christian love for all people, including Palestinians, does not require abandoning truth or embracing false accusations. Genuine compassion seeks justice, truth, and peace for all parties — something impossible to achieve when built on a foundation of lies.

The path forward for faithful believers is clear: we must continue proclaiming biblical truth about Israel regardless of cultural pressure. We must stand with the Jewish people while pointing all nations, including Israel, to their Messiah. And we must pray for church leaders who have lost their way, that they would return to the firm foundation of God’s Word.

This controversy within the Church of England ultimately points to a larger battle between biblical Christianity and a false gospel of political appeasement. The choice facing Christians today remains the same as it has always been: will we stand on the authority of Scripture, or will we bow to the shifting sands of contemporary opinion?

“I Think I Got It” by Steve Martin

Think I Got It

It is a dilemma. Maybe for you too?

For years I have been wanting to have a disciplined, connected life with the Lord, God the Father (Abba as some call Him), Jesus (Yeshua) and the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh).

Reading my Bible daily, a chapter from the “Old” and “New” testaments, maybe a Psalm, add on one or two devotionals…and pray in tongues for those He gives me. And…listen to my worship song playlist.

The best time for me, for all of this, is before the sun comes up. Quiet. Slow. No distractions.

Often I connect with them, the Three. Sometimes I struggle and think, “Is this just too much routine? Is it really worth it and lasting? Do they really hear me and my heart?”

But most important, do I connect with their heart? Their prayers? Their vision?

Of course I have read many biographies of saints gone by…both in the Bible and those whom followed in their footsteps over the centuries. Even the ones in our day. All the while wanting to be sure I am connecting with the Lord.

I think I got it. After about, say, 50-60 years.

Our Father wants us to spend time with Him. Forgot the news for awhile. Let the emails, texts and all messages stay as they are, waiting on the phone.

Give Him time. Just give them time.

And when you do…the discipline, connection, refreshment, fulfillment will come.

I think I got it. And them too.

Ahava and shalom,

Steve Martin

July 21, 2026 Bethlehem, Israel

Just recently All Israel news reported on a Proposed German bill seeking to criminalize denial of Israel's right to exist.

https://allisraelnews.com/proposed-german-bill-seeks-to-criminalize-denial-of-israels-right-to-exist


The bill is good but on the other hand how shocking that you need a bill like this  in the first place.  


But we have seen it on the streets, Pro Palestinian protests shouting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” 


Do some of these people actually know what this means when they shout this?


It is pretty obvious, that it means free of Jews!!

 

To deny Israel's right to exist is Hate, Pure and simple. You can't state it any clearer. These people are full of hate for the State of Israel.

 

Can you think of any other country in the world where people are shouting and demonstrating and saying you have no right to exist?

 

But Israel has a wonderful history, Israel has been the home for the Jewish people for 78 years And I must say it has been a home for its many Arab and Christian population too.


But more than that the land of Israel has a Biblical history. Spanning thousands of years. 

 

God truly made Abraham into a Great nation, and the fact is, today you can go and see Abraham's tomb in Hebron, The tomb of the Patriarch cries out to everyone that God kept his promise to Abraham.

 

The Land of Israel has a rich history.

King David rules the United Kingdom.


Elijah and Elisha prophesied in a Split kingdom and Jesus ministered in an Occupied kingdom, Which wasn't called Palestine.


And in AD 70 the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed and the Jews were exiled.


That is a brief history but a history nevertheless. You cannot deny the Jewish presence in the Land.

 

Israel Is God's baby but the world wants to abort it. To deny Israel's right to exist is sickening and mocks God.


Previous generations have seen the miracle of a Nation being born in a day. God kept his word and brought the Jews back to the land and Israel was restored.


Before 1948 it was an occupied land, With a remnant of Jews, but then the Jews came home and God kept his promise. Yet again.

 

He said he would bring them back from the North, the South, the East and the West. 


God's heart was always to bring the Jews back and restore them in their land. He punished them because of their sin but  he also restored them.


God disciplines us at times when He needs too. It’s painful and then He restores us. How wonderful God is as a father to us.

 

Today there is a spiritual battle for the nation of Israel and I must congratulate Germany for the proposal of this law which I hope gets passed, More countries need to do the same.

 

But can you imagine if Israel failed to exist, and the Jews failed to exist!

What would it mean for you and me as Bible believing Christians ?

 

Quite simply I would have to throw my Bible away. Rip it up and put it in the garbage where it belongs and declare that God has failed. He cannot keep His promises so you may as well live however you like.


That would basically be it, Everything I have done in ministry would be a waste of time because God cannot be trusted.

 

But we know that is not true.

God exists, Israel exists and the Jewish people exist. The Bible confirms Israel's existence Past, Present and Future.

 

Coming soon to an Israel near you is the 1000 year reign of Yeshua the Messiah, where satan will be bound and Yeshua (Jesus) will reign on a throne of righteousness and Justice fulfilling the prophecy of Micah 5 v 2 

 

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.” 

 

The first part of the prophecy has been fulfilled, Jesus was born in Bethlehem  and I trust God with the second part of the prophecy.

Jesus will rule his people Israel – not Palestine.

 

So you can shout from the river to the sea all you like. God is on the throne, Jesus will be on the throne and rule his people Israel.

“Under 50?” by Steve Martin

Under 50?

Listening to Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, and others on TikTok or YouTube will give you a strong opinion about world events. Especially about Christians and Christianity. And even more so about Israel and the Jews.

A strong biblical foundation is necessary if one is to have a good perspective of this world and the direction it is going. And those who call themselves “Christians,  and yet speak vehemently against biblical truth, are not. They simply are not Christians.

You can call yourself something you are not, but your walk tells others who you really are. Remember, “You will know them by their fruit.”

15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will [p]know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they?

17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will [know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7, NASB

I grew up under the teaching of Derek Prince, an Englishman who came to the USA in his 60s and later started Derek Prince Ministries in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I was on staff a total of eight years with his ministry. His strong stance and clear, solid teaching on deliverance, gifts of the Holy Spirit, and especially Israel gave me the  biblical foundation I needed.

His message, “Our Debt To Israel” which I first heard in 1979, changed my life forever. I was 25 at the time.

When modern day teachers, prophets, podcasters and “influencers” speak lies and half-lies of Israel, in time the One Who knows all will remove them. He always has judged those who oppose His plans and purposes. Study world history and see for yourself.

I pray daily for my children and grandchildren, as a good father and grandfather should. They are under 50 (yet) but they too need the strong, biblical truths buried deep in their hearts, so when the “liar of all lies” spews out his words, from those among us, they too will know the truth and stand strong on His Word, not theirs.

Ahava and shalom,

Secretary Marco Rubio’s faith, testimony, and perspective on End Times

Secretary Marco Rubio’s faith, testimony, and perspective on End Times

In a recent sit-down interview with Pastor Greg Laurie at the State Department, Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke openly and extensively about his Christian faith, his understanding of the Bible, and his view of the end times. Without notes and speaking from the heart, Rubio offered a clear theological testimony and a framework for how his beliefs inform his public service.

A Spoken Gospel Testimony

Perhaps the most striking moment came when Laurie recounted Rubio’s remarks at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service. Rubio had delivered what Laurie called a “stunning talk” – “theologically accurate,” “passionate,” and delivered without notes. In that speech, Rubio presented the gospel in full:

“He has a deep belief that we were all created, every single one of us, before the beginning of time, by the hands of the God of the universe, an all-powerful God who loved us and created us for the purpose of living with him in eternity. But then sin entered the world and separated us from our creator. And so God took on the form of a man and came down and lived among us and he suffered like men and he died like a man. But on the third day, he rose unlike any mortal man. And to prove any doubters wrong, he ate with his disciples so they could see, and they touched his wounds. He didn't rise as a ghost or as a spirit, but his flesh. And then he rose to the heaven, but he promised he would return. And he will. And when he returns, because he took on that death, because he carried that cross, we were freed from the sin that separated us from him. And when he returns, there will be a new heaven and a new earth. And we will all be together.”

Rubio confirmed that speaking without notes “works out better that way sometimes,” explaining that while there are speeches he must write out, “these things always come best from the heart.”

View of the End Times: Knowing How the Story Ends

When Laurie asked whether Rubio sees current world events as signs that Christ could return soon, Rubio offered a measured and biblically grounded response. He acknowledged that he does see things that make him think of the end times, but he also placed that feeling in historical context:

“If you look at the 2,000 years of Christianity, every generation has believed they lived in the end times. They couldn't imagine things getting any worse than they were. I imagine if you lived in the 1940s and saw the growth of Nazi Germany, that was a very scary time.”

Rubio cautioned against trying to predict the timing, citing Scripture directly:

“We're basically told that whether it's death or the second coming, it will come as a thief in the night. People will be out there basically doing normal life activities. So rather than try to predict it or anticipate it, I think you just sort of understand that's how the story ends and in the meantime this is what we're called to do – to live our faith.”

Christians and Fear

Rubio articulated a distinctive Christian approach to anxiety and fear, especially given the weight of his responsibilities. He noted that fear is “an enemy” and “a paralytic.” But for Christians, he said, the situation is unique:

“Of all the faiths in the world, the ones who should never live in fear or worry that becomes paralyzing are Christians because we know how it ends.”

He used a simple analogy:

“You watch a scary movie, you've seen it 10 times, you know how it ends, you know the lead character survives, but nonetheless, you still get nervous every time you see it. And I think that's our story. The story that we know that at the end of time there'll be a new heaven and a new earth and that Jesus will return. We also know that between now and then there'll come a period of great tribulation, of great challenges. The world's never been free of them. So for us to somehow aspire to live in a world free of problems and free of worry is not realistic. It's also not biblical. It's not true to our faith.”

He concluded that “the thematic of it is victory and the restoration of what we should have been from the very beginning.”

The Cost of Faith and the Cross

Laurie asked whether Rubio’s faith has ever cost him politically. Rubio responded that he cannot point to a specific example, but he grounded his answer in the nature of Christianity itself:

“The gospel is clear. You'll be hated for it. Ours is the faith of the cross – it's not the faith of winning the lottery. I think it's a misunderstanding of Christianity to believe that it leads to happiness and prosperity. Our faith is the faith of the cross. In fact, if you look at the era in Christianity where Christianity has been strongest and most vibrant is when it's countercultural, when it's been oppressed. Now, I don't seek oppression, but it's going to happen.”

He added that even if his faith had cost him politically, “it really wouldn't matter,” and he stated plainly: “I'd rather lose an election than be wrong on those issues on the public stage.”

Marriage, Family, and Scripture

Rubio also reflected on the biblical view of marriage, noting that in both the Gospels and the Old Testament, “when it describes God's love for his people, it's always discussed in marital terms.” He called marriage “a sacramental union that really reflects God's love for people” and described it as “the most important job I'll ever have.”

He connected the health of families to the health of the nation, saying: “The most important thing that happens in our country is not what happens in the White House. It's what happens in your house.”

How He Wants to Be Remembered

Asked about his legacy, Rubio turned first to his faith and family:

“I'd like to be remembered as someone who was a good husband and a good father and who tried the best he could to live out the teachings and tenets of his faith and to model that behavior. We were all created for a purpose and a reason. In the end, you hope that when you come face to face with your creator, he'll say, ‘Well done. You walked the path that I had created you for.’”

Throughout the interview, Rubio presented a faith that is neither naive about the world’s troubles nor fearful of them. He holds firmly to the return of Christ and the coming of a new heaven and a new earth, but he refuses to set dates or speculate excessively. Instead, he insists that Christians are called to live faithfully in the present, knowing that the final victory has already been secured.
