  • {FREE} in Defense of Israel Ebook
    IN DEFENSE OF ISRAEL PDF, EPUB, EBOOK John Hagee | 224 pages | 02 Oct 2007 | Strang Communications Company | 9781599792101 | English | Florida, United States John Hagee - In Defense of Israel - Apologetics Index Read this shocking expose, In Defense of Israel emphasis added. If this volume lives up to the promotion, namely that Jesus did not claim to be , and was not , the promised Messiah of Old Testament literature, it is heresy at its worst. If the promo is some sort of theological subterfuge designed to accelerate sales, it is duplicity in its vilest manifestation. Most commonly it was employed of an act anointing or consecrating a man for a special office—such as a prophet 1 Kings , priest Exodus , or king 1 Samuel Each of these three sacred offices was combined uniquely in the person of Jesus Acts ; Hebrews ; Revelation In the New Testament the term Christos times , i. The fact is, the promotional blurb cited above contains an egregious contradiction. The New Testament demonstrates this psalm to be fulfilled in Christ Acts ; ; Hebrews ; Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God has made both Lord and Christ [Messiah] this Jesus whom you crucified Acts It is theological insanity to make the claims John Hagee has done. It hardly is necessary to pile evidence on top of evidence for the messianic role of Jesus of Nazareth. Words have meanings and Mr. If one cannot express his ideas honestly and lucidly, he needs to cease his journalistic endeavors until he can. The problem, however, is with his new book "In Defense of Israel" where Dr.

  • Masterscriptie Staats- En Bestuursrecht
    Masterscriptie Staats- en Bestuursrecht Het vrije mandaat: feit of fictie? Beperkingen aan fractieafsplitsingen getoetst aan het vrije mandaat van Tweede Kamerleden Auteur A. (Arie) Vonk Noordegraaf LL.B. Studentnummer 3675386 Begeleider prof. mr. R. Nehmelman Datum 22 maart 2017 Sol Iustitiae Illustra Nos - Zon der Gerechtigheid, verlicht ons 2 Voorwoord Maartensdijk, 22 maart 2017 Met het afronden van mijn masterscriptie Staats- en Bestuursrecht komt er einde aan mijn studietijd aan de Universiteit Utrecht. Ik heb de afgelopen jaren enorm veel geleerd en ook genoten van de vele juridische vraagstukken die besproken werden. Na het afronden van de bachelor Rechtsgeleerdheid met een scriptie over de vrijheid van onderwijs was de master Staats- en Bestuursrecht een voor de hand liggende keuze. De master sloot goed aan op mijn (politieke) interesses. Hoewel ik zowel het staatsrecht als het bestuursrecht bestudeerde, ligt mijn hart toch echt bij het staatsrecht. Deze scriptie is daar een bewijs van. Het is mooi om juist in dit voorjaar mijn masterscriptie af te ronden. Het jaar 2017 is in het licht van het onderwerp van deze masterscriptie namelijk een bijzonder jaar. Het is dit jaar precies honderd jaar geleden dat in 1917 het stelsel van evenredige vertegenwoordiging werd ingevoerd. Het jaar 1917 is een keerpunt in de parlementaire geschiedenis van Nederland. Enerzijds is dit het begin van de hedendaagse parlementaire democratie. Anderzijds is de invoering van het stelsel van evenredige vertegenwoordiging ook een bedreiging voor het vrije en persoonlijke mandaat van Tweede Kamerleden. De partijmacht wordt groter terwijl individuele Tweede Kamerleden ook in 2017 worden geacht zonder last te stemmen.

  • Research Memo
    Research memo From Ben-Gurion to Netanyahu: The Evolution of Israel’s National Security Strategy By Jacob Nagel and Jonathan Schanzer May 13, 2019 Every White House has an offi cial National Security Strategy (NSS) thanks to the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986.1 Th e law mandates annual revisions to the NSS, but the accepted practice is for the White House to publish a new strategy every four years. Th e public nature of the strategy ensures that the document is full of latitudes.p Nonetheless, the requirement to produce the NSS ensures that each president’s national security team conducts a thorough review of U.S. foreign and defense policy. Th e resulting document represents, at least in principle, the authoritative view of the commander in chief. Israel, despite being a country that is under constant threat and thus in constant need of updated national security strategies, has offi cially released only one such document. David Ben-Gurion, the country’s fi rstrime p minister, wrote Israel’s fi rst and only offi cially approved national security document. It was the product of approximately seven weeks of work in 1953, when he took a leave of absence to write it in his small home in the southern desert kibbutz of Sde Boker. Since then, Israel has not published an offi cial, updated security concept. Th ere were at least eethr serious attempts, which this report details. None, however, were successful in becoming offi cial Israeli government documents. Israel is now on the cusp of producing a new national security strategy.

  • The Presbyterian Church and Zionism Unsettled: Its Antecedents, and Its Antisemitic Legacy
    religions Article The Presbyterian Church and Zionism Unsettled: Its Antecedents, and Its Antisemitic Legacy Cary Nelson English Department, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA; [email protected] Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 20 June 2019; Published: 22 June 2019 Abstract: The new millennium has seen increased hostility to Israel among many progressive constituencies, including several mainline Protestant churches. The evangelical community in the US remains steadfastly Zionist, so overall support for financial aid to Israel remain secure. But the cultural impact of accusations that Israel is a settler colonialist or apartheid regime are nonetheless serious; they are proving sufficient to make support for the Jewish state a political issue for the first time in many decades. Despite a general movement in emphasis from theology to politics in church debate, there remain theological issues at the center of church discussion. The Protestant church with the longest running and most well-funded anti-Zionist constituency is the Presbyterian church in the US. In the last decade, its Israel/Palestine Mission Network (IPMN) has produced several increasingly anti-Zionist books designed to propel divestment resolutions in the church’s annual meeting. The most widely debated of these was 2014’s Zionism Unsettled: A Congregational Study Guide. This essay mounts a detailed analysis and critique of the book which documents the IPMN’s steady movement toward antisemitic positions. Among the theological issues underlying debate in Protestant denominations are the status of the divine covenant with the Jewish people, the role that the gift of land has as part of that covenant, and the nature of the characterization of the Jews as a “chosen people”.
