Zionist Christianity is American heresy
Egypt-USA, Religion, 5/11/2002
Patriarch of Alexandria and Saint Mark Diocese, Pope Shenouda III said the term
Zionist Christianity is an American heresy and a by- product of a bizarre environment
that has no existence in the Arab world.
There is no such thing as Zionist Christianity in the Arab world, it is an "American
heresy", totally unacceptable and rejected by all genuine Christian sects around the
world, the Pope emphatically told his congregation at his weekly sermon at St Mark's
Cathedral Wednesday night.
"It is a by-product of a bizarre environment in the U.S. under which any radical group
has the right to establish a religious belief, giving way to unacceptable political
ideologies under the cover of religion," he added.
"It is from this American environment that Jehovah's Witnesses and the Adventists
emerged, whose doctrines are much closer to Zionist Judaism than Christianity," he
said.
"Christianity in general advocates peace and love and rejects suppression,
occupation, usurping the rights of others or liquidating the opposition, which are
basic
principles in world Zionism," he added.
"Eastern Christianity in particular has been committed to Arab national causes and
has together with Islam struggled for the realization of independence and the
protection of the land and honour," he said.
"Among the doctrines of these radical groups is the sanctification of the Sabbath and
the belief that the return of Christ is linked to the Jewish regrouping in Israel,
which
are all Zionist beliefs," he added.
