The 2012 C.U.F.I. [Christians United For Israel] Summit was held this past week in Washington D.C and it was basically the same old stuff in a different year. In this article I would like to address a statement made by Senator Joseph Lieberman to the gathering of people at this event. Here is an excerpt from a blog post at The Electronic Intifada by Alice Boch [7/18/2012] Here is the quote from Senator Joseph Lieberman:

” . . . As Genesis tells us, “I am your brother, Joseph!” (Audience cheers). “We are children of the same father.” (Audience cheers). Pastor Hagee has enabled us to reunite. Jews and Christians, with our shared love for the Jewish state of Israel. We all know that the Bible is the word of God. And I must repeat that my dear friend Pastor John Hagee has received a call from God to begin the reunification of the Christians and Jews. He received that word in Jerusalem. Need I tell you that that special call, received in Jerusalem, was a local call. . .”

Do not expect to hear the soul saving gospel of Jesus Christ preached at these meetings in fact an article in the Washington Jewish Week said the following:

” Hagee has said repeatedly in interviews that proselytizing is unacceptable for CUFI members.” [Washington Jewish Week, By Neil Rubin, 7/18/2012]

There is the first red flag for me and every other true born again Bible believing Christian. When a person is truly saved, they will know through the power of the Holy Spirit of truth (John 16:13) that all people must be born again, according to Jesus Christ, in order to enter Heaven. (John 3:1- That includes ALL Jewish people throughout the world, and that includes all of the Jewish people that were present at the most recent C.U.F.I. Washington Summit. Senator Joseph Lieberman told this crowd of over 5000 people at this Summit which included many Christians that he had the same father as they did. That statement set off the second red flag with sirens sounding. I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ and my father is in Heaven above, and I have access to him, through my Saviour Jesus Christ. That same Jesus told us in the scriptures (God’s Word) that he was the only way to come to the father.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Now I know that Senator Joseph Lieberman is NOT a believer in Jesus Christ, so how could he possibly have the SAME heavenly father as the Christian? Did Joe Lieberman come to the same father through Jesus Christ? If he did not (and he did not) then we cannot be serving the same father. Did Jesus Christ truly mean what he said there, or did he leave an option for certain people who rejected him?

It is also interesting that Senator Joe Lieberman has co-authored a book on the sabbath along with David Klinghoffer who just happened to author another book entitled “Why The Jews Rejected Jesus” Hello is anybody home? Is there anybody home? Once again I must say that I am amazed at how people have become mesmerized by the modern day dispensational teachers, and have completely disregarded the Lord’s own command to preach the gospel to every creature!

Jesus Christ is the “elephant in the room” in the “modern day church” and the one who we are not supposed to talk about. Can you imagine telling Christians who claim to be “filled with the Spirit of God,” that they should hold back from preaching the gospel to the Jews whom the Lord came to save? That is simply incredible and unbelievable to say the least. After the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead he told us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all people! Jesus declared that the believers would be SAVED, and that the unbelievers would be DAMNED! (Mark 16:15-16)

The Jewish apostle Paul told us to “Preach the Word” in season, and out of season! (2 Timothy 4:1-4) How dare any so called Christian leader (Pastor John Hagee) tell another Christian not to “proselytize” (preach)! Any person that dies without salvation in Jesus Christ will be sent to Hell!(edited). Do you believe that? That applies to my own family, relatives and friends alike, whether they be Jewish or Gentile! The Jewish apostle Peter preached the word to the Jewish people the same way he preached the Gospel to everybody else! Peter did not have to answer to a Jewish C.U.F.I. (CEO- Chief Executive Officer) leader by the name of David Brog, who is not a believer in Jesus Christ, because Peter answered to the Lord Jesus Christ himself! Listen to Peter’s words to the Jewish leaders of Israel:

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. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:10-12)

Getting back to the claim by Senator Joe Lieberman that we have the same father, here is another quote from my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the creator of all things. (John 1:1-3) The words in the following passage are very appropriate, because Jesus Christ spoke these words to a group of Jewish people who claimed that God was their father, in spite of their rejection of him as Lord and Messiah!

I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. (John 8:38-45)

So there you have it. The Lord told that group of unbelieving Jews that God was not their father at all. He told them that IF God WERE their father, then they would love HIM! That means that Senator Joe Lieberman and every other Jewish person, must LOVE Jesus Christ (Messiah), because God the father sent Christ to save them! Those are not the words of mere man, but that was spoken straight out of the mouth of Jesus Christ himself! In fact that same sweet, loving, merciful and gentle Jesus held nothing back and he even told the unbelieving Jews that they were of their father the devil! Stop right there for a moment. Those words were not the words of a raving lunatic, but they were uttered by the same one who redeemed me, and every other true Christian, with his precious blood!

How could Senator Joe Lieberman make the claim to the crowd at the C.U.F.I. Summit, that he and they (Christians) had the very same father? If Senator Joe Lieberman had the same father as the Christian, that would totally destroy the words which were spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ, and make him a liar! In fact, Senator Joe Lieberman would certainly fit into the category described below, as one who does not BELIEVE the record (testimony) which was given by God concerning his Son Jesus Christ, and make God out to be a liar! Either you have eternal LIFE in the Son Jesus Christ or you don’t! It is as simple as that.

He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. (1 John 5:10-12)

At one of the C.U.F.I. (Christians United For Israel) events a few years ago U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman compared Pastor John Hagee to Moses, and the leader of a great multitude. Senator Joseph Lieberman also referred to John Hagee as a true man of God as you can see here in this VIDEO In fact if Senator Joe truly believed Moses, then he would have believed, and received, Jesus Christ, because Moses testified about his coming. Listen to what Jesus Christ told the Jewish people when he walked the earth

Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, EVEN MOSES, in WHOM YE TRUST. For had ye believed MOSES, ye would have BELIEVED ME: for HE WROTE OF ME. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? (John 5:45-47)
