Prove Me Wrong: There's No Such Thing As An Antisemitic Christian
If you're offended by the title of this blog, only you know why.
If you’ve ever shared, liked, or launched a viral rant against Israel using #ChristisKing, then you’ve either never read the Bible, your pastor is an antisemitic podcaster, or you’re under the spell of a political spirit. Probably all the above. It is impossible to be a genuine Christian and hate Jews at the same time. Keep reading to learn more.
CANDACE OWENS AND TUCKER CARLSON ARE NOT CHRISTIANS
Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, who have publicly identified as Christians, are two of the world’s biggest religious frauds. When Owens called Israel a “demonic state” and turned “Christ is King” into a Jew-hating dog whistle—and when Carlson platformed notorious anti-Zionist nut jobs—many believers jumped on the bandwagon to defend their “freedom of speech.” Of course, we can debate whether American taxpayers should fund never-ending wars in the Middle East, but it’s hypocritical to draw the line at supporting Israel. Sadly, the greatest contributors to Owens’s and Carlson’s success are the biblically illiterate Christians and MAGA base who don’t (care to) know the eternal significance of our connection to the Jewish people.
Under the guise of just asking questions, Owens and Carlson slithered into mainstream conservatism with expert precision. Their questions bent the minds of college students, exploited the emotions of Republican voters, and inflamed the morals of nominal religious people. They effectively targeted the same susceptible demographics that Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk worked hard to win over with his podcasts, books, and Prove Me Wrong events. CK understood politics and cultural trends better than covenant theology, but he was an honest and diligent truth seeker with no ulterior motives.
The same cannot be said of Owens and Carlson.
As for CK’s relationship with the government of Israel, his criticisms were not unfounded, and his questions surrounding October 7, 2023, were justified. Yet, CK remained an ally of the people of Israel until the day he died. That’s because it’s not antisemitic to ask why Israel’s southern border was unprotected, why it took the IDF six hours to respond, and what they accomplished by leveling Gaza. It wasn’t wrong for him to see the shift in moods and attitudes among his peers and to want to facilitate those conversations. He chose skilled debates over toting the Republican Party line. He was not a “yes man,” but a Constitutional conservative and independent thinker.
CK’s stance on the Israeli government versus Israeli citizens was not controversial or contradictory. It was a balanced and coherent binary thought process that proves we can dissent from the powers that be, even while fostering interpersonal relationships. CK did not have a “Burn it all down!” mentality. Rather, he challenged mainstream ideas, unmasked deception, and rejected theories of perpetual victimhood. For the record, CK was not a racist. He simply refused to tolerate privileged black people pointing their fingers at “the white man.” If you live in America, you’re privileged. CK never used his platform and influence to spin cockamamie conspiracy theories, attack Jewish people, or blame the world’s problems on Prime Minister Netanyahu.
The same cannot be said of Owens and Carlson.
Leave it to CK’s so-called best friends to release cryptic soundbites, publish private messages, and interview a rabid humanoid like Nick Fuentes. To date, Owens has not produced a shred of evidence proving that TPUSA, the FBI, the CIA, or Israel conspired to assassinate Charlie Kirk. And how mentally retarded and/or demonically possessed do you have to be to suggest Erika Kirk was in on the plot? Owens shamelessly turned CK’s murder into a jigsaw puzzle, declaring herself to be the only one holding all the pieces. Indeed, no one has benefited more from CK’s death, raking in multiple millions of dollars, and earning the title of “the number one podcast in the world.”
WITHOUT JEWS, THERE WOULD BE NO JESUS
During a June 2025 interview, Carlson confronted Senator Ted Cruz about his relationship with Israel. The podcaster jeered when Cruz indirectly quoted, I will bless those who bless you…and curse those who curse you (Gen. 12:3). “Those who bless the government of Israel!?” Carlson quipped. (Insert his maniacal laugh.) Cruz, like most politicians who don’t read Scripture, failed to properly cite and deliberate on the context of God’s promise. Instead, Cruz said blessing Israel was something he learned in Sunday school…a typical Western Christian response.
I hate to agree with anything Carlson says, but it is kind of crazy that a lawmaker would stake his foreign policy position on a Bible verse he’s never read. It’s just as crazy to be called out by a theologically inept media pundit who rehearses his lines. This part of the interview revealed the shameful truth of how Americans choose to live in a spiritually lazy, shallow, ambiguous headspace. Cruz’s Sunday school teacher wasn’t wrong, but it would have been helpful in that moment to know the word of God—if for no other reason than to defend the faith and shut down the prideful mockery coming through personalities like Carlson’s.
Genesis 12:3 marks God’s everlasting covenant with the nation of Israel, not America. The Lord gave this promise to Abraham, not Donald Trump. If you’re “America First,” why would you be offended by that truth? “Christian nationalism” is a dirty phrase in political contexts, but God is the One who predetermines our nationalities (Acts 17:26). If He expects citizens to appreciate their country and defend their borders, why would Israel be any different? God loves the United States, yet Israel is called the apple of His eye (Ps. 17:8; Zech. 2:8). America’s covenant comes through the glorious Cross and Resurrection; His covenant with Israel spans thousands of years of history, prophecy, and eschatology. This is not something to envy but something to celebrate.
Without the Jews, there would be no Christ! Without biblical Judaism, there would be no Christianity.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,
and Israel for His special possession. - Psalm 134:5
GOD IS A PRO-ISRAEL, ZIONIST
The whole Bible—from Genesis to Revelation—is about Jews. Again, it is an Eastern Book about Eastern people, not a Western book about Western people. Christianity did not originate in Europe, but in Israel. The Old Testament is written in Hebrew, the New Testament in Koine Greek. Modern English translations and interpretations don’t do it justice. Jesus Christ—God in the flesh—is the greatest Jew who ever walked the earth. To declare, “Christ is King,” is to bend the knee to a Jew who will one day rule the world. And when He returns, He will reign from Zion, not the White House.
In Scripture, the state of Israel primarily refers to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The false doctrine of “replacement theology” presupposes that Gentile Christians replaced Israel in God’s plan when the Jews rejected Jesus as Messiah. Consequently, the Church is now the recipient of God’s promises. This antisemitic ideology also suggests that since present-day Jews are a “mixed” ethnic group, it’s uncertain whether the ones living in Israel truly descended from Abraham. That’s just stupid. The whole human race is mixed. You only need to read Romans 9 through 11 to know replacement theology is a lie.
Jews have always lived in that region of the world, and many remained in Israel throughout the Diaspora. Jews are one of the few people groups that can literally trace their lineage to the beginning of time. The Jews in Israel today have more rights to that land than black Americans have to the African Continent. Gentiles will never replace Israel. God promised them that territory from the River to the Sea, and He will fulfill the terms of that covenant at the end of the age (see Revelation). So, if it seems logical to you that Americans live in America, Egyptians live in Egypt, Russians live in Russia, but you crash out over Jews occupying Judea—your patriotism is a joke, and your Christianity is counterfeit. You’re a fraud, like Owens and Carlson.
JEWS AND GENTILES MUST BE BORN AGAIN
God does not elevate Jews above Gentiles in the carnal way some interpret “chosen” or “favored” (see Romans 2). When Jesus declared, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but through Me” (Jn. 14:6), He was primarily speaking to a Jewish audience. He also knew the gospel message would soon spread beyond their borders. He even told a Jewish Pharisee he must be born again to see the Kingdom (Jn. 3:1-8). Most Christians don’t know that Abraham was not a Jew before God changed his name and circumcised him. How many times do I have to say, Read your Bible?
The Old Covenant and the New are both entered by faith. That’s very important for Jews and Christians to grasp. Animal sacrifices were a temporary system of atonement, instituted by God and enforced through the law of Moses. Stay with me. After the Resurrection—when Jesus fulfilled all of the law’s requirements—there was no more need for the blood of goats and rams to be shed for our sins (see Hebrews). Neither Jewish heritage nor church traditions will profit anyone on Judgment Day. No Jew will be able to stand before Christ and say, “I’m a descendant of Abraham,” and thereby enter into eternal life (John 8:33-47). Likewise, no Gentile can say, “Lord, I did this or that in your name” and enter eternal life (Matt. 7:21-23).
Jews and Gentiles are only made right with God by putting their faith in Jesus Christ. There is no ethnic, territorial, or personal advantage in the Kingdom of God.
You don’t have to read too far into Scripture to learn that Jews are not “special” in the warped way certain podcasters think. Take Jacob for example. Genesis describes him as a swindler who stole his brother’s birthright, defrauded his employer, rejected his first wife, preferred one son above his other children, and didn’t lose any sleep when his daughter was raped. Since the Bible doesn’t make him out to be a hero or someone particularly desirable, “chosen” and “favored” must mean God reasoned within Himself that Jacob (Israel) should sire 12 sons who became the 12 tribes that formed the nation through which the Messiah would come.
Biblical theology is actually pretty simple when you think of Jews as being the firstborn and Gentiles as the adopted younger sibling. Christians are spiritual Israel, not ethnic or national Israel. We who believe in Christ—circumcised in the heart by the Spirit, not in the flesh as under the law—are Abraham’s seed. God predetermined the identity of the Jews and the Gentiles. He then caused our eternal destinies to converge in the Person of Jesus. That tiny parcel of real estate in the 10/40 Window will always belong to Jacob’s children. Gentiles may not be heirs to the land of Israel, but we’re all heirs to the Kingdom of Christ.
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus…There is neither Jew nor Greek…male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
—Galatians 3:26-29
It’s taken me nearly 80 years to figure out on my own that my Catholic education growing up was wrong about Jesus and the Jews. I left it out of frustration in trying to understand ‘religion’ and have been reborn in the last dozen years with a knowledge of the Truths in the Bible. I agree that a true Christian, a beliver in the Word of Jesus, is enthrawled with the knowledge that Christianity’s heritage began thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Without the Jews of Israel, Christianity would not exist. What lessons they teach us.
