On May 2,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/godskingdom.org\/blog\/2024\/05\/congress-criminalizes-portions-of-scripture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Yesterday congress passed what is called the\u00a0<i>Anti-Semitic Awareness Act<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">It is a bill which criminalizes any criticism of the Israeli state or of Zionism. It also criminalizes any Bible passage (such as Acts 4:10) which states that the Jews crucified Jesus. And because the bill assumes that all Jews are Zionists, it confounds anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Many Christian congressmen voted for this bill. What will they do when the Bible is banned? No doubt they will claim that they never intended for this to happen, or that they voted for the bill without even reading it. Yet they should have known how unconstitutional the bill is, as it greatly restricts the right of free speech.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">This would not have been possible had it not been for the support of Christian Zionists such as Speaker of the House\u00a0<b>Mike Johnson<\/b>, who used to be a constitutional lawyer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">By restricting free speech, he has betrayed all of us and is a good example of a modern Judas.<\/p>\n<p>Amen, Dr. Jones.<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson touts himself as being a strong man of faith. He calls himself an evangelical Christian. Yet Johnson has quickly joined the ranks of the Deep State and atheist Zionism as a big-government, warmongering, anti-free speech and antichrist toady: an enemy of God\u2019s Holy Word.<\/p>\n<p>The bill referenced above that Johnson rammed through Congress codifies into U.S. law blasphemy against New Testament Scriptures. Real Christians couldn\u2019t have any part of such sacrilege.<\/p>\n<p>Only the foolish ignore the words of Christ where He said,\u00a0Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep&#8217;s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.\u00a0(Matthew 7:15)<\/p>\n<p>In a similar fashion, the Apostle Paul warned:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">For such\u00a0<i>are<\/i>\u00a0false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore\u00a0<i>it is<\/i>\u00a0no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (II Corinthians 11:13 \u2013 15)<\/p>\n<p>Jesus also told us frankly:\u00a0Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.\u00a0(Matthew 7:20)<\/p>\n<p>By his fruits, Mike Johnson has proven himself to be a false prophet and deceitful worker.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, the\u00a0<i>Antisemitic Awareness Act<\/i>\u00a0is a bill which\u00a0<i>criminalizes any criticism of the Israeli state or of Zionism. It also criminalizes any Bible passage (such as Acts 4:10) which states that the Jews crucified Jesus.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s read Acts 4:10. The Apostle Peter is the speaker:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Be it known unto you all, and to\u00a0<b>all the people of Israel<\/b>, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,\u00a0<b>whom ye crucified<\/b>, whom God raised from the dead,\u00a0<i>even<\/i>\u00a0by him doth this man stand here before you whole. [Emphasis added]<\/p>\n<p>According to Mike Johnson\u2019s bill, preachers and Christians cannot quote this verse from God\u2019s Word without being guilty of \u201cantisemitism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget Matthew 27:20:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">But the [Jewish] chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and\u00a0<b>destroy Jesus<\/b>. [Emphasis added]<\/p>\n<p>Then, according to God\u2019s Holy Word, the Jewish crowd shouted to Pilate,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>His blood\u00a0<i>be<\/i>\u00a0on us, and on our children.<\/b>\u00a0[Emphasis added] (Matthew 27:25)<\/p>\n<p>This proclamation by that Jewish mob was a public admission of their bloodguilt for the death of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p>Again, this passage of God\u2019s Word is illegal under Johnson\u2019s \u201cantisemitism\u201d bill.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, Acts 7:52 records Stephen proclaiming to the Jews:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One [Jesus];\u00a0<b>of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers<\/b>.<b>\u00a0<\/b>[Emphasis added]<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>And then the Jews killed Stephen, the first Christian martyr.<\/p>\n<p>This is another Biblical passage that Johnson has commanded that we tear out of our Bibles.<\/p>\n<p>And notice the myriad of mentions in the Gospels where the Jews are recorded as trying to kill Jesus: Mark 14:44; John 5:16; 5:18; 7:30; 7:32; 8:59; 10:31; 10:39; 11:57; etc. Johnson demands that we tear these passages from the Gospels out of our Bibles as being \u201cantisemitic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The passages in the Book of Acts that record the attempts by the Jews to persecute, beat, imprison and kill Christ\u2019s apostles are almost too numerous to count. See Acts 9:23; 11:19; 12:3; 13:50; 14:5; 14:19; 17:5; 18:12; 20:3; 21:27; 22:30; 24:27; 25:7; 25:24; 26:2; 26:7; 28:17.<\/p>\n<p>House Speaker Mike Johnson (a professing Christian) considers all of these Bible passages \u201cantisemitic\u201d and demands\u00a0<b>through law<\/b>\u00a0that they be banned and the people who quote or proclaim these Biblical truths be treated as\u00a0<b>criminals<\/b>.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>I invite readers to watch a short 5-minute video clip that I made last Sunday with the same title as this column challenging America\u2019s pastors.

If the Senate passes this bill, I suppose it will end up in book-burning of many works of literature including Shakespeare [and the Bible].<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Clearly the majority of the House of Representatives is so much in thrall to the Israel Lobby that there is no hesitancy about normalizing genocide and setting the scene for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">This bill is such an obvious violation of Constitutionally-protected free speech that it tells us that Congress will not come to the aid of free speech as it is closed down everywhere.
