Israel shuts down Christian TV channel in rare move

It's the first time a Christian channel is shut down in Israel

Israel is pulling the plug on a new GOD TV channel for failing to disclose its evangelical missionary agenda, local regulators announced Sunday.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported it is "very rare" for the council to remove a channel

The Hebrew-speaking "Shelanu" channel, which began airing at the end of April on GOD TV as part of a seven-year deal, will stop broadcasting this week, according to an announcement by Asher Biton, chairman of Israel's Cable and Satellite Broadcasting Council.

“The channel appeals to Jews with Christian content,” he wrote. “Its original request,” he added, was a “station targeting the Christian population.”

Shelanu, part of one of the largest Christian broadcasting networks in the world, with presence in at least 200 countries, said it was "disappointed" by the council's "unprofessional decision" and plans to reapply for a license.

Proselytizing is not against Israeli law, as long as it is not directed at minors and does not involve economic coercion...

The controversy could become part of a larger diplomatic problem as evangelical Christians are some of the most vocal supporters of Israel against anti-Semitism, BDS, and other anti-Israel sentiments around the world.

From Haaretz:
quote:

"In a landmark ruling, Israeli regulatory authorities announced on Sunday that they are shutting down an evangelical Christian television station for not disclosing in its license application that its true agenda was missionizing Jews."


This is interesting. Can you imagine if the inverse happened - If the U.S. shut down a media company owned by Jews for not disclosing that their content may have an anti-Christian message?

I have to say that after watching a Video a couple of weeks back...I now doubt that from a Theological sense, that Israel/Jews ARE "God's chosen people".

When I heard that if a persona wants to become an Israeli Citizen...they MUST renounce Jesus as Messiah...that made me wonder WTF.

If/when Israel loses the Evangelical support...they are toast.

No doubt there's some Zionism among Baptist sects, but I think it's far more prevalent among Pentecostals - John Hagee, for instance.

I was raised as a Southern Baptist and never experienced the kind of pro-Zionist messages that some of these other Evangelical churches push

I don't see a problem with this, if fair warning was given. How many Evangelicals are rotting in foreign prisons for proselytizing? That's a decision made of their own free will to spread the Word and face the lions.

The problem is that evangelical leaders are selling the idea of Judeo-Christian[ity] - a term that is fairly new and that Jew's reject. Christians are just supposed to accept that we're both in this together when that's clearly not the case.

One of my best friends is an atheist, HR; just a plain, blue collar guy...not the philosophical version.

I can understand why the Jews are so tribal, given history. And perusing the Nobel Prize list (before it was tainted with PC bs), I think Jews are exceptionally smart. And the Video/Theological Narrative that I watched indicated that a LOT of Americans...have Jewish Genes. And further, some of the stuff in that Talmud...is...well, the whole Bible is that way. A 'riddle', in effect.

I know one thing...Jesus said that LOVE is THE QUALIFIER for ultimate 'Heaven'. This I believe. Atheist, Jew, Black, White...Whomever.

I get the feeling we'll know a lot of answers to the 'riddles'...pretty soon.

My understanding was that Jesus said that belief in Him was the requirement

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Until the Jews bend the knee to Christ, they are no different than the atheists in terms of salvation. They need the gospel like everyone else.

News alert. This shite is not coming from conservative Israelis. It's an agenda pushed by their left.

I think the United States now have more leftist Jews than conservatives. IMO this switched during the Obama years. For every Ben Shapiro there are 10 Bernie Sanders.




ETA obligatory

I'm normally very pro-Israel, but as a Christian, I'm angry right now. Israel is the Holy Land for Christians as much as it is for Jews.

Agree, P. Jesus is the ultimate 'Guru'. Minus dropping the Ego at His feet...it's a 'Catch 22'. And there is the issue of Karma and Justice, re one's personal status in the next life. Sins of 'commission'...and 'omission'. Damning.

That said, "faith without works is DEAD". If simply believing in Jesus was a pass, heaven would be half full of heartless fakes and freeloaders. Love separates the 'wheat' from the 'tares'.

I don’t disagree, I’m just not sure what that has to do with Jews being saved without Christ
