- "The Bible has been weaponised against the Palestinians since the founding of the state of Israel,” laments Reverand Munther Isaac of the Christmas Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bethlehem.
Isaac's powerful 'Christ in the Rubble' sermon delivered this past Christmas Eve is still going viral.
In the sermon, he criticises the silence of the Church on the genocide being carried out by Israel in Gaza following the attack by Hamas, which killed 1200 Israeli civilians and took at least 240 people hostage.
Lester Kiewit interviews Reverend Munther Isaac, Palestinian Christian theologian and evangelical Lutheran pastor in Bethlehem.

THANK YOU "CAPE TALK" for this Report + your BELOVED REVEREND GUEST ! ❤❤👏👏
PRAYERS for A F-R-E-E PALESTINE 🇵🇸 ❤🙏🏼 TODAY!
Equality and dignity for all people.......Free Palestine.....
Thank you forthis enlightening talk. Rev Munther gives me hopw for the region 💗🙏
The Pastor is a good man with a very sensible, pragmatic approach to the Holy Land being for everyone to share, but he's also realistic about the future prospects of the 3 options open and how this might end in a more peaceful, less bloodthirsty way. For the sake of the future generations the Israelis and Palestinians need to find common ground, to work toward forgiveness and to sharing the Holy Land equally under the same laws and sociatal demands. If necessary the people should bypass their respective leaderships
Good day Lester & CapeTalk fam,
Reverend Munther Isaac's sermon on Palestine was a compelling call to action, resonating deeply with listeners worldwide. He eloquently articulated the complex realities faced by Palestinians under occupation, emphasizing the urgent need for an end to their suffering.
In his sermon, Reverend Isaac challenged simplistic narratives of the conflict, urging listeners to recognize the nuanced dynamics at play. Drawing from his own experiences and Christian teachings, he passionately argued for Palestinians' rights to dignity and freedom.
He painted a vivid picture of their daily struggles, from land loss to restrictions on movement. Central to his message was a plea for solidarity and empathy, urging people to stand with the oppressed and work towards a just resolution.
Reverend Isaac's sermon served as a reminder of Palestinian resilience and hope. Despite challenges, he emphasized the enduring spirit of resistance and the belief in a future of peace and equality for all. #TheUnassumingBillionaire
"But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons."
@@CuriousCattery This passage from 1 Timothy 4:1 speaks to the recognition that, over time, there will be those who turn away from their faith. It's a reminder to stay vigilant and rooted in one's beliefs, especially in challenging times. It underscores the importance of nurturing one's spiritual life and remaining steadfast in the face of potential obstacles or temptations.
In the Quran and Hadith, there are similar teachings about the challenges to faith and the importance of remaining steadfast. In Surah Al-Imran (3:175), it is mentioned, "And it is the Shaytan who frightens [you] of his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers." This verse highlights the role of Satan in leading people astray and the need for believers to hold onto their faith despite the challenges. Additionally, in a Hadith narrated by Abu Huraira, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The religion started as something strange, and it will return to being something strange, so glad tidings to the strangers." This Hadith emphasizes the importance of perseverance in faith, even if it means being in the minority or facing opposition. It's a reminder to remain steadfast in one's beliefs, even if they seem unconventional or unpopular to others. #TheUnassumingBillionaire
@@farouk69jacobs I won't follow any religion where people are beheaded and babies are killed and woman are kidnapped raped and tortured in the name of their god. And no one steps forward to condemn the actions but instead encourages songs of genocide.
"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." Matthew 7:16-20
@CuriousCattery Sound like YOU PROBLEM!
Christian Zionism ?! What are you smoking ? Are you here to support the anc ?
yes! thank you!
This Priest tells the truth 🙌
May God bless him 🙏 ❤️
All those who are rebellious against the God of the bible will be judged by him. It would be better to repent from evil and follow his word..!!
God Jesus christ is alive forever!!
I admire rev Munther Isaac
What about Ottoman Empire and its successor state, which committed the Hamidian massacres, the Armenian genocide, the Assyrian genocide, the Greek genocide, and the Diyarbekir? The Yazidi genocide was perpetrated by the Islamic State throughout Iraq and Syria between 2014 and 2017. It was characterized by massacres, genocidal rape, and forced conversion to Islam. Ongoing persecution in North Korea, Nigeria, Iran, Somalia, Libya, Eritrea, Yemen etc. Are they not against Christians? Every religion, ethnic group or nation are persecuting others in the world because of hatred and extremism. The Bible is very clear against violence, you're so-called Rev but incompetent about the Bible knowledge. You think God knows nothing about what's happening in the world. He knows from deep in the heart of people of their plan than anybody else. I feel sad about everything that is happening in this world, yet I still, keep praying for peace.
Isis is an invention of Isreal and America.Y they never attacks Isreal?
War crimes happened with Christians against Muslims and vice versa and Jews against Muslims and other way round too but the Jews felt much safer with Muslim Governments but not Christians
I think you’re one of the morally corrupted Christians the rev is talking about.
U forget the Amelek and the wasps too
why talking about previous awful genocides, while the present one is in front of our eyes??
This is absolutely a beautiful song" You're the Almighty God"(English Version Official )by King of the
Thank You Reverend. Where are the church leaders?
Reverend Munther Isaac does not understand the word of God. He is also going against the Bible. He is also making incorrect statements.
What's so special about this bible of yours, it's just a adult themed comic book.
Yes, it is for the joker like you and the Rev talking without understanding the Holy Bible.
Your Bible was copied from other books and written by unknown writers and many of them wrote in what they believe in from their biases.
So tell us where he is going wrong as he and his family's are the ones suffering
@@FaiezCadersaying Israel is occupying the land, they're committing genocide and are oppressing the Palestinians.
The man can't even mention releasing the hostages and can't even say Hamas jumped the gun by going to Israeli territories to abduct, kill and rape civilians. The results of what's happening today.
May Allah bless you, I see in you a divine will being melted in your soul!
John Hagee 🤣🤣 Weaponized Bible against Palestine 🇵🇸
It is very interesting that this priest/minister has no criticism of Hamas , but has used words like colonialism , colonial , coloniser , occupation , occupier , to describe Israel .... no criticism of the Palestinian Authoritiy's education system that vilifies Jews and indoctrinates young children in hate of Jews and love of 'marterdom' ... no admition of the genocidal intent of Hamas , no admition that the 'hell on earth' of the people of Gaza has been brought by Hamas , no admition that Hamas and the Palestinian Authority have the ambition of bringing an end to Israel , no admition that land for peace has been refused over and over and over again by the Palestinian leaders , no recognition of the real Islamist threat .
He knows very well what not to say .
From this whole interview that is your only takeaway!?
The easy and only thing to do is blame Hamas, right?
Not the only thing but all the more glaring because it's missing.
You would have blamed the ANC too for fighting for our freedom.You called the ones who fight oppression as Terrorist too.
Under International law they had the right to take up arms and fight their oppresser by any means necessary.Peaceful means don't work against an unpeaceful nation..
@@sebafranc5089did he call for the release of hostages?
This is not about what is happening in Gaza but who is doing it i.e Jews, otherwise world would be equally concerned about what is happening in Yemen and Congo
Turkey, Syria, Quatar, Afghanistan, Iran, China.....
Shame... Victim mentality
People have been concerned about these conflicts but in Gaza there has been unprecedented killing of children over a short time. And USA and UK are backing Israel and sgipping weapons. This is not the case in Yemen and Congo
🙏❤❤❤
Robert Breaker: Why are people protesting for a Free Palestine.
People want to 'liberate' themselves at the expense of Israel
@@giselapfeifer4666 You are misinformed, people want to be treated EQUALLY and we all should according to the word of G-d.
Against the apartheid Nazi illegal state of israel
@@giselapfeifer4666people want to share the land
@@MDA985 How can they be treated equally if they are excercising terror..!?!
This pastor manages to give, even the most anti-Semitic Christians a bad name.
How dare people think that God supports genocide against his creation. Your religion is evil
@@patricechappell8579God doesn't support the killing of any human being. He has given us free will. Jesus said said in Luke 14 v 31 to avoid war and live in peace with others. Hamas started a war on 7 October. They could have released the hostages and stopped fighting months ago. They don't care that their people are dying and their city is being destroyed.
Student supporting Isreal: Son of Hamas.
Yes because u know no better & believe the propoganda & lies - move to gaza or wesbank! Why do u think the uae, jordan & egypt won't allow them in?
Hamas is the problem not Israel or people of Gaza.
You are misinformed.......coveting, stealing and murder of the Indigenous people of Palestine by the white European settlers is the problem.
Hammas did not exist 20 years ago and Palestinian people still had problems
Resisting people against colonization have always been qualified as "the problem" by oppressors. Remember WW2 ,when famous French resisting people, like Jean Moulin, were called terrorists by the Nazi government !!! So the question is who are the terrorists today ????
Did you watch Tantura?
The pastor wouldn't even summon his power to tell Hamas to release the hostages and lay down their weapons for peace. Only Israel is to be blamed for genocide. He loves his life more than the truth because he has to go back to Palestine where if he say anything negative about Hamas, they will unalive him just like that.
zionist atheist genius lol
summon his power? he is not harry potter
When you open your eyes it reveals that " the land" is occupied by two(?) groups who need to find a way to co-exist. If the 2 "protagonists' " supporters ( both "east and west" ) were serious about supporting peace then they would support - collectively- a process to reach an end.
Christians as it happens do not "support" either "side". They support peace, They, are not pro Israel nor pro palestinian ( whatever those labels might actually represent?) - but recognizing that they are neutral in this is key. The fact that various christian groupings have latched on to positions born of their understanding of eschatology is a deviation from this central role. All persons living there are entitled to be supported in their efforts towards peace. But peace, however good, in this instance is only a bus station on the journey towards the restoration of the creation and mankind to its proper role .
@@icraftcrafts8685 is to bring yourself to say the truth, I'm not talking about myths that makes its fans happy.
@@phillipsugwas who does it(the land) belongs to? That's what you need to answer.
Does those parties want to live side by side with each other?
There were two previous agreements that was agreed upon at the table but later rejected by the other party. If you think the other party really want to live with the other in peace, you're lost.
The bible that the pastor read and the other book of the other party states that that land belongs to the owners of it given to them by God.
Cilonization of the land
No, gaza was land captured from egypt and wesbank from jordan who both didn't want it back nor palestinians who are a mix race including jewish blood
You tube do not let me Mark like
Palestinians are original owners of the land since 3,500 years ago.
Time by time, with foreign Empires, only names had been changed.
Even orthodox Jewish people & Judaism Jewish people had been living in the Palestine as Palestinians for long years- except all Jewish people moved became as Israelites, other Christians & Muslims & Asylum religion people & Samaritans whom are origin Israelites in ancient times, those people living in West Bank& Gaza.
Those Palestinians are original Judea peoples mostly & Samaritans & some foreign countries people in Judea , after AD around 500-600?
After Roman Empire left, Byzantine Empire came, they changed the land name as Palestina.
After by France Crusaders, land name got changed as Kingdom of Jerusalem.
After about 1,600 AD, Otto Empire came, they changed as Palestine.
1941, USA journalists visiting Palestine land, they were pretty wealthy. They called Paradise of Palestine. Holy Land.
They made the movie of Palestine.
So many Christians were in Palestine.
If Palestinians are original owners since 3.5K yrs ago...surely the word "Palestine" should be mentioned in Quoran..yes ?
@@atamani725
I am not sure about Quran.
Quran was around AD 600?
Or somebody wrote later?
I’m not sure.
What Quran says? About Judea land name?
Because Muhammad was around 600 AD period time person?
@@atamani725 actually Byzantine empire moved in Jerusalem around 300-600.
So new Muslim people called the country as Palestina.
Was South Africa better under apartheid or under democracy???
depends on your colour and affiliation to da
Bethlehem used to be majority christian. Today it's 40%. Ishmaelites hates competition. It's not the christians nor the jews who shouts "allah is great" thus justifying their religious intolerance.
Christian dawa'a here.
Palestinian Christians - Christians who are native to the Middle East speak Arabic - it's their native language. "Allah" is God is in Arabic. God is Great - is Allah Hu Akbar in Arabic. Jesus PBUH spoke Aramic
The Ishmaelites were a collection of various Arab tribes, tribal confederations and small kingdoms described in Abrahamic tradition as being descended from and named after Ishmael...
@salimamodack5356 ...and in the Arab Bible Allah's name is Yahweh. Hamas's leader, Ya Ya (Sinwar the leader of all the murderers & rapists of the 7th) is a derivation of the Allmighthy's Name. The early Christians called the early Ishmaelites & Muslims, Christian heretics. Isa is NOT the cross bearing Jesus of the Bible. Neither is Aaron his mother's, Mary, Uncle. Unless you believe in time travel. Like on a nightlight on a donkey to the Temple Dome, which was by that time, nothing but ruins. The Roman's destroyed it in the year 70AD. By the time of this flight it has been describe as a dump.
Abrahamic it's not by a long shot.
Alexander the Great, the greatest Pagan of the all, is revered and pious muslim?
Never mind all the books Uthman destroyed in order there to be only one. And that one has been standardized in 1924, and the current version is from the 1980's. Even the AL Aqsa Mosque has slightly different sentences on its walls. Depending on which source, there are 10 to 30 different versions of the Arab book. In Arab because God gave the Torah to the Jews, the Bible to the Christians and the Quran to the Arabs. The Quran wasn't meant for any other people but the Arabs. Then came the taxes on the infidels in the holy lands, which made the pious ones rich and powerful, until their subjects "reverted" and the crusaders made a stop to their Islamic Golden Age. It's been downhill since, despite their control of their last trump card, oil. And little Israel was blessed with water and sanity.
To think to Prohet once laid the Torah with the greatest respect on a cushion is ironic. Telling his people to respect the people of the Torah and Bible. Only later when he has been spurned, did the underlying reason for his curiosity in these two faiths reveal itself, calling for the annihilation of these two faiths, in order to appease his desires.
The original Arabs are the Bedouin. Desert Dwellers like the children of Israel.
If the 7th October never happened I wouldn't have known these truths.
Just Aisha was enough. NO!
@user-ev6sl5kr8m you are confused
Be a good boy and go read your talmud
Go read the Talmud.
Be a good boy @user-ev6sl5kr8m
irreverent corrupted Munther Isaac who prefers political lies to biblical truth
zionist atheist genius lol
enlighten us oh wise one
Actually you are biblically confused. The land is Gods. His loan was always dependent on obedience or the promise was null and void. AD 70 was Gods final response to a stiff necked people. The Old Testament is obsolete and we have been given a new and better covenant for all people who have faith in Jesus
@@patricechappell8579Read Romans chapters 9 to 11. Israel is still loved by God. God is not finished with Israel. They are still loved. John 4 22 says salvation is of the Jews. Pray for Munther Isaac that God will open his eyes to see the truth. He should be seeking God's kingdom, fulfilling the Great Commission, not waste time on politics.
@@patricechappell8579Jesus was a Jew, His 12 apostles were Jews, most of His followers were Jews and there are a lot of Jewish Christians. Salvation is of the Jews - John 4. There is no country in the world with a 100℅ Christian population- not even in so called Christian nations. Read Romans 9 to 11.
Do those who bandy the word Apartheid actually understand what the word means in Afrikaans?
I do not espouse the previous government's ways ( actually not even the present one) but the word means being set apart. That said it meant that various groups of people connected by ethnicity, were given areas to live with their own governmental structures and even industrial hubs were created .
Apartheid meant that ethnic groups ( theoretically) lived in their own 'homelands'.
The irony regarding the Palestinians is that they want their own homeland: Apartheid.
Jewish, Christians and Muslim Palestinians, yes... And they don't want a seperate homeland,.... They want their own land back from the Nazi Israelis
@@1300wipassThe land belongs to the Jews.
