U.S. Evangelical Church Cancels Israel Event After Israeli Diplomats Join Local Gay Pride Parade
By Julio

An evangelical church in Miami canceled an
event honoring Israel after the local Israeli consul general participated in a
parade in support of the homosexual agenda.
Pastor Alberto Delgado, who had scheduled at
his Alpha and Omega Church in Miami an event honoring Israel with the
participation of Israeli diplomats, later canceled the event in May.
The pastor “was worried that the Israeli
participation in the pride parade will hurt the support for Israel within his
community (especially in light of how close the two events were to each other).”
“The consul general met with the pastor
and clarified that the consulate represents all Israeli citizens and works with
different constituencies,” said the Israeli newspaper The
Jerusalem Post.
It
is a big challenge for U.S. evangelicals, who fight abortion and the homosexual
agenda in the U.S., to give full support to the Israeli government, because
while in the U.S. the fight “abortion versus life” and “gay agenda versus
family values” is often a fight “left versus right,” in Israel the reality is
different.
Even though Israelis left-wingers support
significantly more abortion and the gay agenda, Israeli right-wingers also support
these evils. In fact, the
right-wing administration of Benjamin Netanyahu has been advancing abortion and
the gay agenda. So it is no wonder that Israeli diplomats of a right-wing
administration decided to participate in a gay parade in the U.S. This
participation, which is strange for many U.S. conservative Christians, is in no
way strange for Israeli right-wingers.
Christian leaders who hold events in their
churches to honor Israel should also hold events to pray for Israel and address
sins that endanger Israel. Just as all the other sinners, Israelis also need the
Jew Jesus and His salvation. Just as the Old Testament prophets, who loved
Israel, spoke against Israel’s sins, today the Christian Church that loves
Israel should speak against abortion and the gay agenda embraced by left-wing
and right-wing Israelis.
