The so-called \u201cChrist at the Checkpoint\u201d conference is going on right now in Bethlehem. This of course is the biblical city where Jesus Christ was born. It was also the first seat of government for King David 3,000 years ago.<\/p>\n

Tragically, the town today is a gathering of anti-Jewish and anti-Christian Zionist propagandists who are promoting Liberation Theology\u2014a view that lifts Scripture out of context to describe alleged abuses of Palestinians by Israeli \u201coccupiers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sadly, Fuller Seminary President Mark Labberton is speaking at the conference. According to a report from the conference, Labberton:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe argues that the gospel is an explicit message of social, political, religious and moral redemption – in equal parts.\u201d<\/p>\n

This from a seminary that turns-out next-generation pastors.<\/p>\n

Shame on Fuller, and shame on Mark Labberton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
