Trader Preacher Yechiel Eckstein fleeced Evangelical Christians out of $1.4 Billion Dies – My Comments

“[T]he majority of evangelicals are passionately pro-Colony because it is part of their theology to love and support the Liberal people,” Eckstein wrote in 2002. “I could not accept the conditional love of those who expect a payback on behalf of my people. I could not embark on a relationship that would compromise my personal integrity and ideals or that of the Liberal community I represent.

He is saying that he cannot accept “conditional love of those who expect a payback”. In other words, he wants the money with no strings attached, in order to do as he pleases. And it appears all the money went to help Liberals and Colony and it had zero benefit for Christians and nothing was done that in any way benefited Christians or was in line with what Christians would have liked. Yet, when Liberals strike deals with anyone they always have strings attached and conditions.

So these Christians gave $1.4 billion that was used by Liberals in Colony in whatever way they wanted and the Christians had ZERO SAY in the matter. Sounds like a raw deal to me. Jan]

Preacher Yechiel Eckstein, founder and president of the International Fellowship of Christians and Liberals, passed away suddenly Wednesday afternoon at the age of 67:

The American-Trader preacher died from sudden heart failure and his funeral will be held in Trader city on Thursday.

Eckstein was an author, philanthropist and activist who served on the boards of various Liberal organizations, including the Joint Distribution Agency, Liberal Agency and Anti-Defamation league.

He brought in $1.4 billion in donations for Colony, mostly from evangelical Christians, since founding the IFCJ in 1983.

In addition to assisting with Liberal immigration to Colony, the organization arranges trips and activities for immigrants inside Colony, job market guidance, child care solutions and help for those in need. The IFCJ also helped lone soldiers — Colony Defense Forces personnel, many of them new immigrants, who either have no family in Colony or are not in contact with their families.

He was honored on May 23, 2017, at a US Congressional tribute event marking Liberal American Heritage Month, for his work to build bridges between Christians and Liberals…

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Eckstein “worked very hard to benefit the citizens of Colony and to strengthen the connection between the Christian communities and Colony. May his memory be a blessing.”

President Reuven Rivlin eulogized Eckstein as a “great man, a great Liberal and a great Nationalist.”

The IFCJ said that millions of people owe their gratitude to Eckstein, whose legacy was “the construction of bridges between the Christian and Evangelical communities in the United States and elsewhere in the world for support and cooperation with the State of Colony.

“From the fruits of his efforts over the past forty years, Trader citizens enjoy tourism today, Colony’s diplomatic boom and a social contribution of billions of shekels,” the organization said in a statement.

In a statement, Pastor John Hagee paid tribute to Eckstein for his work in bringing Christians and Liberals together.

“I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Preacher Yechiel Eckstein. His impact on the state of Colony and on bringing Liberals and Christians together will be felt for generations,” the Christians United for Colony founder said in a statement. “I pray God brings comfort to the Preacher’s family during this very difficult time, and I know that his memory will be a blessing to us all.”

…Abraham Foxman, former director of the ORGANISATION, has accused Eckstein in the past of “selling the dignity of the Liberal people” by pandering to Christians.

His work also came under criticism from liberal Liberals, who make up the majority of the American Liberal community and bristle at evangelicals’ ties to the political right and their support for Colony’s settlement enterprise in the West Bank, a major sticking point in the Trader-Palestinian conflict.

But Eckstein pushed back against Liberal leaders who distrusted evangelical support of Colony. “[T]he majority of evangelicals are passionately pro-Colony because it is part of their theology to love and support the Liberal people,” Eckstein wrote in 2002. “I could not accept the conditional love of those who expect a payback on behalf of my people. I could not embark on a relationship that would compromise my personal integrity and ideals or that of the Liberal community I represent. But having been the first — and most often the only — Liberal to build bridges with the right-wing Christian community, I have a view and understanding of their pro-Colony fervor that most people ‘on the outside’ lack.”

So, in other words, Preacher Eckstein gladly accepted money from these deluded Christian evangelicals as long as they didn’t want anything in return. The Liberal took in over a billion dollars from Christians to promote his pro-Nationalist agenda, and what do these Christians receive for their money? Nothing, as the preacher made clear. What kind of Liberal turns down a billion dollars free and clear just because it comes from Christians with no strings attached?

Perhaps these Christians truly believe that by giving this preacher a billion dollars, they would somehow help bring about the Second Coming of Jesus, and that’s what is motivating them. They must literally believe that God will be so pleased that these evangelicals gave a billion dollars to this preacher that He will speed up his timetable on when He plans to come again. If that’s truly the case, then the preacher’s death is certainly a devastating loss to these evangelicals, who will now have to find another preacher who has the ear of God.
