    Just War Theory Challenged by Pope Leo XIV & Palestinian Rev. Munther Issac

    Rev. Dr. Munther Issac of the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem analyses Pope Leo XIV's Magnifica Humanitas in this 13-minute video and agrees with him. After all, aren't the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank victims of a "Just War" or just another war on Israel's enemies?. This is from a National Catholic Reporter editorial: "Pope Leo XIV says just war theory is outdated. Catholics should take heed. In Magnifica Humanitas, his first major encyclical, Pope Leo does not treat war as one moral problem among many. He places it within a broader crisis of humanity. He sees an age shaped by technological dominance, artificial intelligence, economic control, militarized politics, weakened international law, and a public imagination trained to believe that war is inevitable."  Should other Christians, who have embraced the Just War theory in the past, still agree with a doctrine that originated with St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, two early Catholic theologians? To better understand the plight of Palestinian Christians and their Muslim neighbors, Rev. Issac is interviewed by two Jewish journalists in "Palestinian Pastor's Plea for Help From American Christians." Here is a WHTT podcast: "Jesus: Prince of Peace or Author of Just Wars?"

    Jesus, Israel, or the Church: Who's First?

    Why have so many Christian leaders been supportive of Israel while ignoring the plight of Palestinian Christians who have been killed in Gaza alongside their Muslim neighbors? Since October 7, 2023, Israel's response to the attack by Hamas, breaking out of the world's largest open-air prison (as described by Bob Simon of CBS's 60 Minutes in 2012), has been brutal on the population of Gaza. Over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed, and over 70% of Gaza has been destroyed, including schools, hospitals, churches, mosques, housing, and infrastructure. Yet, there have been very few Christian voices speaking out for peace and justice. Are they being held back by the false theology of Christian Zionism that has a grip on our nation's leaders?  There are exceptions. Pastor Scott Korljan of the Sojourn Church in Scottsdale, AZ, delivered a powerful message on 2/1/2026 filled with sound, logical biblical references that put Jesus first, not Israel. It's a 35-minute message that needs to be repeated in pulpits across the United States to challenge thinking, and caring followers of Christ.

    Palestinian Pastor Asks, Are Palestinians Less Human?

    Rev. Dr. Munther Issac, a Palestinian Christian pastor, gives an impassioned 3-minute introduction to an Online Film Salon: "A Deafening Silence? US Church Leadership in the Face of Genocide" [click on the link to watch the 110-minute discussion described as: "Christian Faith leaders were pivotal in the civil rights movement, the anti-Vietnam War movement, and the boycotts that ended apartheid in South Africa. And yet – after more than 77 years of harsh military occupation, Palestinian home demolitions and forced removal in the West Bank, and 18 years of a blockade culminating in Israel’s carpet bombing, starvation and genocide in Gaza – many U.S. faith leaders seem largely silent. Why? What is the explanation? Does their faith not ask them to speak out? Where do U.S. Christian denominations stand? How can concerned congregants empower their leaders to speak up? Let's talk.

    Israel Pulls Out The Stops To Rescue Christian Zionism

    Israel knows that it is losing support from young people, including young Christians who have been watching the genocide in Gaza by Israel, live on social media. The Zionist state of Israel's latest attempt to bolster support among evangelical Christians was to bring over 1000 of their leaders to Israel for the Ambassador Summit 2025. Featured speakers at the event included the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who serves Israel's interests above those of the US. This 7-minute review of the Ambassador Summit in Israel is explored by Vanessa, a young and astute Christian woman, on her YouTube Channel, Wholehearted Ness Podcast. We Hold These Truths has been challenging the false theology of Christian Zionism for over 25 years. We are encouraged to see young Christian truth tellers arising to expose this pernicious heresy.

    Jesus: The Prince of Peace or Author of Just Wars?

    Millions of American Evangelical Christians have believed that it's their patriotic duty to support the serial wars the US has been waging in the Middle East since 1991. They lean on the notion of "Just War" theory and blindly believe that Jesus would approve of this doctrine. We at We Hold These Truths are not pacifists, but object to those Christian leaders who explain away America's wars with the excuse that they are "just" wars and back up their claims by misusing the Bible. The "Just War" theory dates back to early Christian theologians such as St. Augustine (354–430) and St. Thomas Aquinas (1224/25–1274), whose Summa Theologiae (1265/66–1273) outlined the justifications for war and discussed the acts it is permissible to commit in wartime. In this compelling podcast, Chuck Carlson, Tom Compton and Craig Hanson of We Hold These Truths delve into various aspects of "just war" theory based on a perverted form of Christianity promoted by many prominent evangelical Christian leaders like Henry Blackaby, Chuck Colson (deceased), Bill Bright (deceased) of Campus Crusade, D. James Kennedy (decesead), Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Conference, Ted Haggard, John McArthur (deceased), Dr. Wayne Grudem (author of "Politics According to the Bible"). Franklin Graham and John Hagee, among others. Their interpretations allow them to bless these "just wars". WHTT's founder, Chuck Carlson, warned his fellow Baptists in 1990 about not going to war against Iraq ("Iraq: Americans Prepped For War"')." Also, before the 2003 Gulf War on Iraq, WHTT opposed going to war again (see here). An excellent article in antiwar.com from 2004 that is still true today exposes evangelical Christians who support unjust wars:  Pro-War Christians Should Come Clean.

    A Racist Christian Prayer for Israel's War on Gaza

    One of the Christian Zionist cheerleaders for Israel has been John Hagee of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, TX. Hagee's war prayer before the second war on Iraq in 2003 showed his war-willingness to turn his back on the teachings of Jesus (see: "John Hagee with Benny Hinn: Praying for War in the Name of Jesus"). This prayer was made by Hagee on October 8, 2023. Members of We Hold These Truths have conducted a vigil in front of John Hagee's Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, TX.
