Christian Zionism and the Consequences of Wrong Theology: Sam Shamoun Reacts to Nick Fuentes on Charlie Kirk Tragedy (Billionaire Donors and Towing the Israel-First Line…) My Question is This: If Charlie was So Popular and Pro Christian Zionist Why the Need to Pump in Millions of Dollars into TPUSA at All? Wouldn’t Its Organic Growth and Evolution at Its Own Pace on the Strength of Charlie’s Popularity, Faith and Message Be Enough? Why Try to Control Who He Had at His Rallies to Speak?

I was talking about this with someone last night over dinner. Charlie was popular with the college-age crowd but you can reasonably surmise that he would be aging out of the younger demographic in a few years as he enters his 30s. His next logical move would be into politics, with some claiming even that he was presidential material.

Hard to say if he would have survived politics being as true to his spiritual growth and political evolution as a thinker as he was, who thought his mission was to fight evil. Modern-day politics requires so much compromise and prevarication (bending to evil?) which would instinctually be repugnant to someone as morally sensitive as Charlie (though, apparently, quite easier for purely political creatures like Mike Pence, Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee–and at a bargain basement price, no less). Besides, Charlie hated Washington, DC and was more of a businessman than a politician.

Like I said: The Zionist donor support of Charlie Kirk, for the most part, was purely transactional. Not for love of Charlie as Charlie…least of all his political evolution and spiritual growth–if it meant his views on Israel were changing against their desires and ulterior motives. After all, Israel is in a perpetual state of war and war requires full-spectrum dominance. Especially in the area of psycho-social, pseudo-religious politics (psycho-politics if you will), media influence on the national conscience and winning the hearts and minds of young college people. The precise, impressionable demographic that Charlie was reaching.

However, “the times, they are a changing” and Charlie was changing with them. He was now starting to say the powerful Christian meditative prayer of the Rosary, reflecting on the divine mysteries and trending toward the Catholicism of his wife–which teaches the exact opposite of theologically errant Christian Zionism in many spiritual, political, eschatological and moral areas.

And deep prayer changes you by conforming your will more to God’s will for your life…or, at least it should since it requires consent of being (a total consent of being for those who achieve sainthood).

Those that loved and supported Charlie would naturally support his spiritual growth and evolution in thought: religiously, politically, socially, morally and otherwise. No need to cajole and threaten him to act or believe in a certain way. Certainly, that wasn’t Charlie’s style nor is it the Christian way. In fact, that’s the kind of behavior of those Charlie was lovingly confronting on various issues, on a daily basis at colleges across America, and that ultimately got him killed. Unfortunately, some Jewish groups sought to character assassinate him with charges of being a “dangerous anti-Semite” before he was physically assassinated.

M. Scott Peck, MD in his book “People of the Lie: the Hope for Healing Human Evil” defines evil as that which resists or kills spiritual growth… God would not have Charlie’s spiritual growth, love of neighbor and quest for the truth thwarted. Especially given his growing consent to conform to God’s will through deeper prayer, which is willful surrender to the divine action through love.

*St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, had the countenance of an angel as he was being stoned to death. In fact, in authentic Christian martyrdom it is Christ who is ultimately exalted–not Christian Zionism or Jewish/Christian relations. For it is Christ who calls us home at our appointed time to be with him for all eternity.

This is the hope of the Christian. This was Charlie Kirk’s hope…and this was his ultimate message.

Christians should sing in brotherly love: praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, for giving us Charlie even though he was called back to be with the Lord early. “Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven…”

*Quote: According to the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 6–7), Stephen was brought before the Jewish Sanhedrin (the ruling council). After giving a long speech accusing the leaders of resisting the Holy Spirit and betraying and murdering the “Righteous One” (Jesus), the council became enraged.

The crowd dragged him outside the city and stoned him to death. The text does not name every individual, but it specifies that the witnesses laid their cloaks at the feet of Saul of Tarsus (later St. Paul), who approved of Stephen’s execution. So, it was likely a group of Jewish leaders and bystanders who carried out the stoning.
