Soft-sell Zionist Christianity may be subtly taught in a spare room or basement of your church.

Structures classes of both invariably teach a soft sell version of “Christian Zionism,” by whatever name. We will dub the theology taught what we call “Zionist Christianity Soft.” Precept Ministries (PM) and Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) influence otherwise Christian churches by using structured teaching materials. The teachers are trained and coached to allow little if any coaching or comment. They are usually church volunteers often called “Facilitators.” Teachers, by whatever name, are usually unpaid volunteers from the local church. Nevertheless, they are screened for their willingness to guide. They are discouraged from adding their views or opinions to the provided printed material. What flavor of Christianity do these two organizations teach, and why are they accepted? This will be discussed in this short series.

Pasters and layman members are not encouraged to evaluate what is being taught in their names A former PC volunteer confirmed this to me personally. She had offered to teach and was interviewed as a (Facilitator) but was rejected. She realized later she was turned down because she voiced her opinions on one of two scriptural questions during her interview. This is despite her willingness (like other teachers) to devote her time gratis. Another former years-long volunteer “Facilitator” confirmed that she was taught not to comment on BSF (or PC) printed material.

Most mainline or traditional church leaders believe or teach what this writer calls “Zionist Christianity light.” A few reasons these advertised classes bring attendance into the church at a free or low cost. Some churches are pressed for volunteers as well as for cash. Bible Study Fellowship and Precept Ministries help by operating largely outside the church’s budget, selling their study material at low costs to class members.

CZ or BBF teaching is Zionism-soft, kept so low-key that many church officials seem to be largely unaware of the context. More than one pastor has discovered this teaching to be questionable in light of his denomination’s teaching. A few congregation leaders and one pastor told me he accepts mildly questionable teaching (or tolerates it) because “it builds church attendance.” Most either endorse or do not recognize they are housing an international movement to promote “Christian Zionism.” We Hold These Truths is supported by many former students of this false and destructive theology.

Nothing is more important for Jesus’ followers than understanding and preventing an apostate movement inside their doors. In part 2, we will discuss Christian Zionism for the benefit of new readers. For a more accurate understanding, we will rename it “Zionist Christianity,” meaning Zionism, modifies or alters Christianity, rather than the reverse.
