Does being a Christian mean I'm a dolt?

Ann Coulter - Donny Deutsch Jews Perfected the Big Idea

Ann Coulter, while being interview by Donny Deutsch on his show The Big Idea (Watch a clip of the show in the video bar to the right of the page.) made a statement that she believes that Christians are perfected Jews. She added that if Donny were to become a Christian he would be perfected. What a concept! Donny took offense and shot back at Ann by telling her he thinks she is far too educated to believe something like that. What Donny did was expose himself as a person who does not think too much of Christians. Ann is not alone in this belief. Billions of Christians world-wide are taught the same thing and believe it as well.

I agree with Ann Coulter. And the reason she made her comment is because she “is” educated. The statement she made is based on Christian scripture and is a basic tenet of Christian belief. I believe it too. Here is the scripture her belief is based on.

Romans 9:30 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it (Perfection). 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the “stumbling stone.” 33 As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” 10:1 Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

In the underlined portion of Scripture above, the stone that caused men to stumble is Jesus Christ. He is the Rock that makes men fall because of unbelief in Him.

It is belief in Jesus Christ that perfects us. What unbelievers don't understand, like the lady in the red dress seen in the video bar on the right of the page, is that the perfection Ann is referring to is in our human spirit only. Our flesh is far from perfect but Ann would have had to preach a sermon in order to get folks to understand her true meaning.

The fact of the matter is that our country has been blessed because we are a Christian country and founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and laws. Read your history. This country was founded on Christian principles and beliefs. Don’t stop at the founding fathers, those signers of the Declaration of Independence. Go back even farther than that. It is not by accident that the United Sates of America is the greatest most powerful country in the history of all mankind. Then get yourself a Bible. Don’t just read it, study it.

Unless we remain a Christian country I believe we are a doomed nation. The one thing humankind has not learned from history is that we do not learn from history. A country that turns away from its Judeo-Christian beliefs will fall. In addition, it’s time people began to realize that being Christian does not mean you’re some country bumpkin that’s too ignorant to even know how to breathe. Donny D. insulted everyone in the Body of Christ. If I were as ignorant as he, “I’d say Donny you are far too educated and sophisticated to be a Jew.” But the fact of the matter is I’m not a hater. And in another part of scripture, the Epistles to be exact, Saint Paul writes that there will be a point when the Jews will come to believe in Jesus Christ and become “perfected.” But maybe I’ll deal with that in another post.
