Northwest Arkansas, A Hotbed for Anti-Semitism
Add a third group to the mix. Shepherd's Chapel is on channel 224 on my cable. Recently deceased Arnold Murray is the founder of the Bible study that is piped across the nation. His son, Dennis, has now taken the reins from his dad and is continuing the Bible study that reaches millions of followers. Murray's program, started up three decades ago. Today it has a growing popularity and is broadcast in every major city in the nation, except for New York City. I took note of the programming and did some investigating into the popular broadcast. Checking with local citizens and church members I found most are aware of the show that features an older gentleman answering viewer questions and explaining Bible passages. Our cable has the family on for almost 24 hours a day. I checked out the Southern Poverty Law Center who ran some reports about research into the popular organization. The SPLC claims Christian Identity ministers signed the minister license affirming Murray for the ministry. Soldiers of the Cross is a radical right wing group linked to this dogma. Soldiers of the Cross were branded as White Supremacists, but have since accepted non-white members. Their anti- Jewish message is still active. Murray gained national attention by a couple of controversial You Tube publications. One clip has Murray claiming Obama is the Anti-Christ which made MSNBC news. The older Murray said in the tape if you play the Obama acceptance speech backward it proves the President is the evil satanic leader of the end of the world. The other clip made Jon Stewart's Daily Show when the Bible teacher pulled a gun on an audience member and yelled "blasphemer." Just exactly how he stays on the air with his strange doctrinal proclamations is of interest. The organization spends over $75,000 a month to keep the family on the airwaves. Christian doctrine groups, like Watchman Fellowship, have been monitoring the programming for years. Watchman notes the church teaching is full of false doctrine. The secretive Murrays do not disclose much but what has come out is controversial. The group does not believe in the Christian doctrine of the Trinity. Watchman says they teach humans existed before the earth existed. There were two Adams. The first Adam created inferior races. Interracial dating is thus forbidden. The group also adheres to Christianity Identity dogma that teaches the British Israel theory. This is the concept that Anglo Saxons are part of the lost tribes of Israel. Thus the real chosen people. Modern day Jews are not really Jewish, but imposters. They are named, "Kenites." As mentioned, they are the seed of Satan and thus a subhuman being. This is what is being taught by the largest Independent "Christian" TV network in the nation. Just today a national candidate proposed that Hillary Clinton was linked with International Bankers in a secret conspiracy to harm the nation. The terms "International Bankers" is known in many circles as an euphemism for Jewish bankers. It is an old fable about secret societies that control economies. That term is mild in comparison to the idea that Jews are not sharing a common ancestry with the human race. It is peculiar the father- son team has acquired such a following and one wonders at where the money comes from to underwrite such teachings. Many of us thought the Christian Identity movement was a thing of the past relegated to a small group of extremists. Timothy McVeigh visited one of their compounds. To think that this popular program has risen to such heights is noteworthy. Do followers of this popular series really know what these men hold as the truth? One might wonder if many of TV ministry followers are aware of what is believed or practiced by the personality. To think that a widely popular TV Christian program is linked to Christian Identity is noteworthy.
