Is Governor Huckabee a true Christian or a heretic?
Heresy is a strong word and should not be used carelessly.
Though AI has no intelligence and no conscience Google states:
“Some critics and Christian leaders have accused Mike Huckabee, a staunch supporter of Israel, of promoting views that some find to be “heresy” or “misleading” by favoring a political theology over the concerns of local Christians in the Holy Land.
“Heresy of Americanism: Some theological critics have historically criticized Huckabee for blending national identity with Christian faith, sometimes described in theological circles as a form of “Americanism” or civil religion that crosses into heresy for some conservative Christians.”
Circa the weekend of February 20th, Tucker Carlson met with Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee wherein MIGA Huckabee told Tucker the Jews had a right to all land between the Nile and the Euphrates; that is, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq belong to Israel — a statement that launched a hailstorm of scull breaking stones on the world.
Mike Huckabee is a talented human being. He started a radio career at age 14, played guitar in a “Christian”-rock band, and is known best for serving as governor of Arkansas. Besides graduating from the dispensational Ouachita Baptist University in 2½ years, Magna Cum Laude, he also attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, another dispensational hub. Mike is a brilliant orator and a master of politics, , but he has no advanced degree in theology. Being a pastor for 12 years does not qualify him as a theologian. Mike adheres to Zionist, dispensational eschatology that presumes that God is going to resurrect ancient Israel in order to fulfill unfulfilled promises.
I suspect, but can’t prove, that Mike spent more time playing the guitar, administrating a church, socializing, and running for office than he did studying the Holy Scriptures.
But, in taking this Darbyite-dispensational view, Mike does not believe –
That Christ is the Seed of Abraham (Genesis 12); that He is the true Israel, the Son of God;
That Abraham was not a Jew; that the promises belong to Christ, and not unbelieving, Christ-rejecting Jews.
That Joshua declared all the promises given to the nation were fulfilled in his time (Joshua 21:45). Paul declared all the promises given to ancient Israel were “yes” (fulfilled) in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20).
That giving Abraham the land grant promises, God’s intent was that Abraham (and his Seed) would be heir to the world — not heir to a piece of real estate in the Levant (Romans 4:13). Fake Israel has no divine right to occupy Palestine or any other land in the region anymore than Chinese Muslims have a right to real estate in Mecca.
That the Scripture distinguished between Israelites of the flesh and spiritual Israelites called the “remnant” in the O.T. or spiritual believing Hebrews in the NT (Isaiah 10:20-21; Romans 9:6; 1 Corinthians 10:18). John the Baptist warned the Jewish nation that they were not to think they were special in the eyes of the Lord because Abraham was there father; that God was able to raise up children for Abraham from stones (Matthew 3:9). And, God did raise up children of Abraham to rebuild the broken tent of David, not from stones, but from the Gentiles (Acts 15:16). We call this new house “the church of Jesus Christ” who inherited the common wealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:11ff).
That Jesus is the true Israel of God and the disciples were true Israelites. As these disciples preached the gospel of the risen Christ, Gentiles joined this community to become members of the family of God or the true Israel of God. Both Peter and Paul call this believing community “God’s chosen people” (1 Peter 1:1-3: Ephesians 1:3).
That Jesus was not a Jew in the religious sense nor did He practice Judaism. He kept the Torah, but did not practice rabbinic Judaism.
That being “In Christ” is radically more important than being in fake Israel (1 Corinthians 1:2).
That it was Talmudic Jews that rejected their Messiah and killed Christ; that modern Jews are antichrists who have taken on the foul spirit of first-century unbelieving Jews that crucified Christ (Acts 2:36) “Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men;” — that is, Paul says the Jews are antichrist, anti-Scripture, anti-Theos. and anti-humanity, ( 1 Thessalonians 2:15).
That 3,000 years of important history has passed since God gave these land-grant promises to Abraham including the 586 BC exile to Babylon, and the final annihilation of the nation in 70 AD.
That rejecting the Son is the unpardonable sin (John 3:36);
That Jesus destroyed the geo-political nation of Israel in 70 A.D. under Titus where the Jewish nation ceased to exist — a severe, terminal judgment on unbelieving Jews for their rejection of Jesus as their Messiah (Matthew 24).
That the few surviving Jews after 70 AD integrated into the nations and lost their Hebrew DNA Identity.
That Judaism survived in Europe not because of genetic continuity, but because a jews were able to proselytize a few Gentiles to the antichrist Jewish faith promising them economic gain.
That modern-day so called “Jews” in the 1948 Israel are Gentile Ashkenazim from Ukraine with no Hebrew blood in them. (Study the history of the national adoption of Judaism by Ashkenazim circa 800 B.C.)
That Jews in Israel who are known for their homosexuality, lesbianism, pedophilia, and genocide of Palestinians are not God’s people. MIGA Huckabee’s support for this immorality in the name of a greater Israel is nothing short of blasphemy — a national shame for the United States. The ambassador should be rallying for America, not fake Israel.
Thus, it appears that Huckabee has converted from the historic Christian faith to a form of Judaistic Zionism — a conversion that endangers his soul.
Mike Huckabee’s gospel is not that Jesus saves sinners, but that God saves Jews — that Christ-killers are God’s chosen people.
Know that there is no verse in the New Testament that promises God will resurrect unbelieving, Jews and collect them into a new geo-political Israel to replace the church. The Reformationists advanced Sola Fide, Sola Christus, Sola Gratia, Sola Scriptura, and Sola Gloria but they did not advance any form of Sola Judea.
Let’s be clear: dispensationalists are not heretics; most are strong believers in the cross and the redemption of Christ.
But, because Ambassador Huckabee does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the true Israel of God, and that believers are the elect; and because Huckabee believes that Ukrainian, land-grabbing, murderous pedophiles and homosexuals in fake Israel are the chosen people of God and the hope of the world, the term “heretic” belongs in front of Mike Huckabee’s name (Galatians 1:6-7).
Luther, Calvin, Reformed pastors, and the Greek – Russian Orthodox Church would call Heretic Huckabee to repent and to believe in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ — a gospel that does not teach the salvation is connected to a presumptive resurrected geo-political Israel (1 Corinthians 15:1-12).
Even in an atmosphere of Zionism, let us ” . . . not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” (Romans 1:16).
