The Backdoor to Your Faith

There’s a reason why thieves go for the backdoor of a home. They know the front door is reinforced and designed to keep out unwanted people. But it’s the backdoor that makes us vulnerable.

The same goes for our beliefs. There are things we hold solidly in our hearts. God is good. He is Holy. He is the Beginning and the End. The God of the Covenant who always keeps His promises. He never fails and He never changes.

If there is no doubt about God keeping His promises to every one of His followers, why is there such confusion when it comes to God keeping His promises to Israel?

Simply put, the backdoor.

There are many common statements we’ve grown up with that weaken our core beliefs like, “When God says Israel, He doesn’t actually mean Israel.” Meaning, when God says something, He could mean something else entirely as His Word is an ever-shifting mystery. This logic, by the way, would never fly in a court of law. And while the initial effect is the psychological distancing of God from His people Israel, the real damage is done to God’s character as a capable and reliable Father.

So, when the moment of Biblical truth comes and we are challenged, some believers find they are not as solid as they thought. As much as we want believers to support Israel, we want them to do it from a place of strength and understanding.

This Hamas war against Israel is a physical, psychological, and spiritual war. Thankfully, most of the physical battle is taking place in a limited area right now. So, we’ve compiled five tactics being used against people watching the war from the outside.

You may have noticed these things yourself. You may have felt something was off but couldn’t quite explain it. Hopefully, though, you will now notice these anti-Biblical tactics even more. We’ve also compiled a few (there are just soooo many!) scriptures to strengthen your faith in the God of Israel. So, having done all to stand—stand with us and see the victory of our God.

THE PHYSICAL WAR IS AGAINST ISRAEL.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WAR IS AGAINST THE ENTIRE WORLD.

5 TACTICS TO WATCH OUT FOR

YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW

Sharing emotional stories of pain while avoiding facts. This allows the attacker to cause harm and then point everyones wrath at someone else by sharing the pain of story themselves.

IT NEVER HAPPENED

Denying the atrocities took place despite firsthand testimonies and extensive footage documenting it. This allows people to hold on to their sense of righteousness and justice while supporting a side that clearly doesn’t live up to their standard.

INNOCENT CIVILIANS

Manipulating terminology. The western mindset allows for the term ‘innocent civilian’ so long as they are not an official part of an organization or dressed in uniforms. This means, people who store missiles in their homes, doctors who harbor terrorists, teachers who inspire students to murder Jews, ambulance drivers who transport weapons and mothers who raise their children to be martyrs are all innocent civilians. In Israel, on the other hand, most all Israelis go to the army at some point, and their very presence is viewed as an occupation. Therefore, there aren’t really any innocent Israeli civilians.

YOU DID IT TO ME

Falsely accusing Israel of war crimes while committing those exact acts. This reduces the shock factor and creates a numbing effect on the issue. And when Israel presents actual evidence of the atrocity, the situation devolves into a he-said-she-said situation.

THEY AREN’T THEM

Challenging the legitimacy of the ancient Jewish people to separate them from anyone who would support them for being Jewish. All while attacking them for being Jewish.
