This foundation drives their support of the Jewish state. It is called &#8220;Scofield Dispensationalism.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h5>Written at the dawn of the modern Zionist movement, Scofield&#8217;s commentaries suggested that a nation of suffering and persecuted Jews, though Christ-rejecting, had a divine right to return and occupy Palestine. This idea was virtually absent from Christianity before the mid-1800s. How did such permission gain so great a foothold that it&#8217;s now unquestioned dogma for most evangelicals? &#8230;<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">CYRUS SCOFIELD<\/h2>\n<h5>Cyrus Scofield taught that &#8230; God gave the patriarch and his descendants unconditional rights as God&#8217;s chosen people. They were guaranteed the Promised Land and rights of occupation, even without obedience. Scofield said Israelites automatically receive &#8220;all blessings&#8221; by just being there&#8230;.<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/henrymakow.com\/2013\/03\/how-gullible-christians-became-zionists.html\">Continues \u2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fact is: to a large extent Zionist power depends on the gullibility of American Christians.
