Jerry Falwell “graciously” corrected The Jerusalem Post for publishing Ilam Chaim’s Falwell: Jews Can Get To Heaven:
While I am a strong supporter of the State of Israel and dearly love the Jewish people and believe them to be the chosen people of God, I continue to stand on the foundational biblical principle that all people — Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals, Jews, Muslims, etc. — must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ in order to enter heaven.
Dr. Hagee called me today and said he never made these statements to the Jerusalem Post or to anyone else. He assured me that he would immediately contact the Jerusalem Post and request a correction. Before today, I had never heard of Rabbi Aryeh Scheinberg or had any communications with him. I therefore am at a total loss as to why he would make such statements about me to the Post, if in fact he did.
Then he yanked off Hagee’s money belt and smacked his reputation out of the park:
Again, I do not follow this teaching of “dual covenant” theology and I believe it runs counter to the Gospel.
I have been on record all 54 years of my ministry as being opposed to “dual covenant” theology. In fact, Dr. John Hagee has indicated to me, as recently as today, that he likewise does not accept “dual covenant” theology.
How will Hagee and his good friend Bibi Netanyahu spin that revelation? Pat Robertson continues to be punished for his sin. Will Hagee and the other theme park entrepreneurs lose their permit to build and be maligned by the press?
Probably not. Only Christians who’ve co-existed with Muslims for 14 centuries get that treatment.
