American televangelist (born 1940)
John Charles Hagee (born April 12, 1940) is an American pastor and televangelist . He founded John Hagee Ministries, which telecasts to the United States and Canada. He is also the founder and chairman of the Christian Zionist organization Christians United for Israel .
Hagee has attracted controversy over his comments on the Catholic Church , Jewish people and Islam , and promotion of the blood moon prophecy .
Early life
[ edit ]
Hagee was born in Baytown, Texas on April 12, 1940.[1] He studied at Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie , Texas, and received a Bachelor of Science , and then studied at Trinity University and obtained a second Bachelor of Science . He also studied at the University of North Texas in educational administration and received a master's degree in 1966.[2]
He has a son, Matt Hagee, who is also a pastor.[3]
Career
[ edit ]
Cornerstone Church
Hagee founded Trinity Church in San Antonio, Texas in 1966, a second Trinity Church in 1975, and Cornerstone Church in 1975.[4] The church has adopted Pentecostal beliefs, including biblical literalism , speaking in tongues , divine healing , the prosperity gospel , and absolute opposition to abortion.[5] Beginning in 1981 in San Antonio, following Operation Opera , Hagee has organized "A Night to Honor Israel " events aiming to show support for the State of Israel.[6]
Hagee has been politically active. In 1968, he endorsed Democrat George Wallace in his bid for president . His advocacy included organizing and mobilizing a youth movement called "Wallace Youth".[7] [8] [9]
In 1996, Hagee spoke on behalf of Republican presidential primary candidate Alan Keyes , who in 2004 lost the U.S. Senate election in Illinois to Barack Obama .[10] In 2002, Hagee endorsed the conservative State Representative John Shields in the latter's unsuccessful bid for the Republican primary for the District 25 seat in the Texas Senate . Hagee dubbed Shields's opponent, incumbent Jeff Wentworth , "the most pro-abortion" of 181 legislators in both houses of the Texas legislature.[11]
On February 7, 2006, Hagee and some 400 leaders from across the Christian and Jewish communities formed Christians United for Israel (CUFI). This lobbies members of the United States Congress , using a biblical stance for promoting Christian Zionism . Around that time he received death threats for his activism on behalf of the State of Israel and hired bodyguards for protection.[12]
In 2008, Hagee endorsed Senator John McCain in the presidential contest against Barack Obama.[10] After Hagee's endorsement of McCain, a furor arose over statements made by Hagee that were perceived by some as anti-Catholic and antisemitic .[13] [14] [12] [15] [16] Following Hagee's remarks, McCain publicly distanced himself from Hagee.[17] [18]
Hagee was the primary funding source for the Israeli Zionist group Im Tirtzu , until he cut ties with the organization in 2013.[19] He is also anti-abortion and stopped giving money to Israel's Hadassah Medical Center when it began offering the procedure.[20]
In 2016, Hagee endorsed Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election .[21]
Views
[ edit ]
LGBT
[ edit ]
In 2006, he claimed that Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for a planned pride parade .[22]
Catholicism
[ edit ]
Hagee purported that Adolf Hitler 's antisemitism was especially derived from his Catholic background, and he also purported that Hitler was "a spiritual leader in the Catholic Church ,"[23] as well as purporting that the Catholic Church under Pope Pius XII encouraged Nazism .[24] Hagee also blamed the Catholic Church for instigating the Dark Ages , claiming that it allowed the Crusaders to rape and murder with impunity.[25] William Donohue , the president of the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights , rejected the comments and Hagee's explanations for them. On May 12, 2008, after discussions with Donohue and other Catholic leaders, Hagee issued a letter of apology, expressing regret for "any comments that Catholics have found hurtful."[26] [15] [16] [27] The apology was accepted by William Donohue.[26]
Jewish people
[ edit ]
Hagee has stated that he believes the Bible commands Christians to support the State of Israel .[28]
Reform Rabbi Eric Yoffie criticized Hagee for being "extremist" on Israeli policy and for disparaging other faiths.[29]
Hagee has claimed that Adolf Hitler was born from a lineage of "accursed, genocidally murderous half-breed Jews".[30] Citing material from Jewish tradition ,[31] [12] he claimed that the persecution of Jews throughout history, implicitly including the Holocaust , was due to the Jewish people's disobedience of God.[32] [33] [34] [12]
In 2008, Hagee claimed that the anti-Christ will be "a homosexual" and "partially Jewish, as was Adolf Hitler"[35] and he also claimed that a reference in Jeremiah 16:16 to "fishers" and "hunters" was symbolic of positive motivation (Herzl /Zionism ) and negative motivation (Hitler/Nazism) respectively, both men were sent by God for the purpose of having Jews return to Israel, and he suggested that the Holocaust was willed by God because most Jews "ignored" Herzl.[36] [37] [38] [39] [12]
Islam
[ edit ]
Hagee has made demonizing comments about Islam .[40] [41] Hagee has claimed that "Islam not only condones violence ; it commands it".[42] [43] He has also claimed that a contrast exists between Islam's "violent nature" and Christianity's "loving nature"[42] [44] and that the Quran teaches, and Muslims have a mandate, to kill Jews and Christians.[45] [46]
Blood moon prophecy
[ edit ]
Hagee, along with Mark Biltz, made the blood moon prophecy , which they promoted in a 2013 book. The two men claimed that a tetrad which began with the April 2014 lunar eclipse was a sign of the end times as described in the Bible and the tetrad ended with the lunar eclipse on September 27–28, 2015 .[47] [48] The prediction was criticized by scientists.[49] [50]
Global warming
[ edit ]
In 2007, Hagee stated that he does not believe in global warming , contradicting the scientific consensus on climate change , and he also said that he sees the Kyoto Protocol as a "conspiracy" aimed at manipulating the U.S. economy.[51]
