Eddie Chumney removed by GLC’s doctrine gestapo

Alternate Title:  GLC's 'Religious Border Patrol' strikes AGAIN!

Sounds like the religious "doctrine-gestapo" are at work again at GLC... and I'm wondering if the same person or persons involved in this case with Eddie are the same one(s) involved in the recent Keith Johnson/Nehemia Gordon debacle, where Keith's material was removed. To me, it just seems like more of the same... just more of Deut 1:12. Sad, but I've begun to believe such things are purely human nature. I see it everywhere I turn... including secular orgs, religious orgs of all flavors (Muslim sects, Jewish sects, and Christian sects), New-Age groups, Universalist-types, etc... I mean everywhere. I use to think it was just a Messianic/Hebraic-roots thing, but that is simply because I was living on Captain Me Planet and not looking outside my own world. I'm expecting much more of the same, especially wherever Chaldeans (i.e., Americans) are involved. - Hanok ben-Isaak

SPECIAL REPORT (by Eddie Chumney)

I have been on the Christian TV network “God’s Learning Channel” since about May, 2010. I have produced over 100 TV programs. In each TV program, I have about 26 minutes to speak. In each program, I use the same 12 minutes to say essentially the same thing over and over. I remind the audience that when we study our Hebraic Roots we MUST keep EVERYTHING centered on Yeshua the Messiah because in the volume of the book, it is written of Him (Psalm 40:7, Hebrews 10:7, Luke 24:44)

I teach that Yeshua created the heavens and earth (John 1:3, 10, Colossians 1:15-16). I teach that Yeshua made covenant with Abraham (Galatians 3:16, 29). I teach that the rock that was in the wilderness was Yeshua (I Corinthians 10:4). I teach that Yeshua is the RIGHT HAND that defeated Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea (Exodus 15:4) and who defeated the enemies of the children of Israel in the wilderness (Ps 44:2-3). I teach that Yeshua saves and is the Saviour (Matthew 1:21, Luke 2:11). I teach that the one who saves is the lawgiver (James 4:12).

I teach that there was a marriage at Mount Sinai (Jeremiah 2:1-3, Ezekiel 16:8) and Yeshua is the Bridegroom and the house of Jacob is His Bride. I teach that the house of Jacob broke the covenant by building the golden calf (Exodus 32). I teach that the Northern Kingdom was taken captive by the Assyrians and the Southern Kingdom was taken captive by the Babylonians. I teach that the Northern Kingdom was scattered into the nations (Hosea 1:4) and took upon themselves the spiritual status of “no mercy” (Hosea 1:6) and “not my people” (Hosea 1:9) but were prophesied to become “sons of the living God” (Hosea 1:10) who are believers in Yeshua as the Messiah (John 1:12).

I teach that Yeshua died on the tree to forgive the sins of His people (Matthew 1:21) and in doing so RENEWED the covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah (Jeremiah 31:31, Hebrews 8:8) writing the Torah upon their hearts (Jeremiah 31:33 and Hebrews 8:10).

I teach that the wild branches are grafted in (Romans 11:17) and believers in Yeshua are members of the commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:12). I teach that Messiah died to save ALL people (John 3:16). I teach that Yeshua died to gather and unite the 12 tribes of Israel (John 10:16-17, John 11:49-52).

I do NOT teach Ephraimite / Two House BLOODLINE IDENTITY. The family of Messiah is NOT based upon BLOODLINE but based upon FAITH in Messiah. This FAITH is open to ALL mankind.

This is what I teach. It is public for all to see. That being the case, I have been FALSELY ACCUSED by others that this is what I teach and thus GLC (God’s Learning Channel) is now making the SAME ACCUSATION.

Here is the e-mail letter which they sent to me giving me notice that they are canceling my weekly program WITHOUT following proper Torah procedure in handling these FALSE accusations.

GLC WRITES:

Shalom Eddie,

Over the past several months, viewer inquiries are indicating that confusion is being brought to The Body as a result of the Two House / Ephraimite identity teaching. At the same time, and with increasing frequency, we’ve been hearing from viewers and scholars (Christian, Messianic, and Ephraimite) who are expressing concern over the bloodline Ephraimite identity teachings which are taking the focus off of the Universal Kingdom of Heaven, and putting it, instead, on genealogy and racial identity issues.

Sadly, we have come to understand that GLC has been painted as a Two House TV station, which we are not. GLC is, and must remain, a neutral identity platform in order to teach Torah and preach Mashiyach to every kindred and tongue, people and nation. Our desire is to bring unity to Jews and Christians in Mashiyach and Torah, and we cannot let racial identity become a stumbling block. I’m sorry to tell you, Eddie, that after much prayer and consideration we feel we have little choice but to cancel your program. GLC simply cannot support the Two House / Ephraimite identity that undergirds all of your teachings.

While we support our Two House brethren in their quest for Mashiyach and Torah, we are firm in our belief that we are one people — regardless of whether one carries the label of Orthodox Jew, Christian, Messianic Jew, Ephraimite, or no label at all. According to both the Tanakh and the New Testament, whosoever desires to follow our Father YHWH and be a part of His Kingdom is grafted into Israel. Teaching others that they should love Torah and Yeshua based upon theiridentity cannot properly be supported by Scripture.

We highly respect you and the gift YHWH has given you to teach and bring souls to Yeshua and Torah, so it is with sadness that I write this. I assure you that our commitment to you for your Torah and Mashiyach teaching is unwavering because these are the elements that bind us together. Several scholars who have taught here at GLC have noted to me that they are willing to meet with you — in confidence and privacy — to discuss some of the elements of your teaching that are bringing discord to The Body. We pray that you will take advantage of their offer. I will, of course, be most happy to make these arrangements for you.

May we all find Truth as we seek Him,

Blessings,
Amy Cooper
General Manager

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, I have received notice from GLC (God's Learning Channel) that my weekly television program teaching Hebrew roots will be taken OFF THE AIR. This came as a TOTAL SHOCK to me. It was completely unexpected.

What is so SHOCKING is that the reason given was based upon FALSE ACCUSATIONS. These accusations are that I teach Ephraimite / Two House BLOODLINE IDENTITY. This is 100% false. I actually teach just the OPPOSITE.

I have about 26 minutes to do a weekly GLC program. I have done over 100 programs. I try to make a point to say that SAME thing over and over again for the first 12 minutes of the program. I teach that the ENTIRE BIBLE is written about Yeshua (Psalm 40:7, Hebrews 10;7). He said that the Torah, Prophets and Psalms are written of HIM (Luke 24:44)

I teach that Yeshua created the heavens and earth (John 1:3, 10, Colossians 2:16-17). I teach that Yeshua made covenant with Abraham (Galatians 3:16, 29). I teach that the ROCK that was with the children of Israel in the wilderness is Yeshua (I Corinthians 10:4). I teach the Yeshua is the RIGHT HAND that defeated Pharoah and his army in the Red Sea (Exodus 15:6). I teach that the RIGHT HAND and ARM that defeated the enemies of the children of Israel in the promised land (Psalm 44:2-3) is Yeshua (Isaiah 53:1). I teach that Yeshua saves and is the Savior (Matthew 1:21) and (Luke 2:11). I teach that Yeshua is the lawgiver (James 4:12, Hebrews 12:24-26, John 14:15, Exodus 20:6).

I teach that a marriage took place at mount Sinai (Jeremiah 2:1-3, Ezekiel 16:8).

I teach that the 12 tribes of Israel broke the covenant at mount Sinai (Exodus 32) and were exiled into the nations of the world. Babylon took the Southern Kingdom captivity. Assyria took the Northern Kingdom captivity. The Northern Kingdom was judged by being scattered (Hosea 1:3) being given the status of "no mercy" (Hosea 1:6) and "not my people" (Hosea 1;9). Yet they would become sons of the living God (Hosea 1:10) and thus believers in Yeshua as the Messiah (John 1:12).

I teach that Messiah Yeshua died to gather and united the 12 tribes of Israel according to His own testimony (John 11:16-17) and repeated in (John 11:49-52). I teach that Yeshua RENEWED the covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah (Jeremiah 31:31, Hebrews 8:8) by writing the Torah upon our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33, Hebrews 8:10). I teach that the WILD branches are GRAFTED IN (Romans 11:17) and become members of the commonwealth of Israel (Ephesians 2:12).

I teach that Yeshua died for ALL people (John 3:16) and that ALL people can join his new covenant family. When they do, they are ADOPTED and GRAFTED into the family of Messiah which He will rule over forever which is the house of Jacob (Luke 1;33). I teach that BOTH Jew and non-Jew are to express their faith in Messiah by loving Him and keeping His commandments (John 14:15).

Plain and simply speaking, I teach that being a member of Messiah's family is NOT based upon BLOODLINE IDENTITY. Yet, this is the ACCUSATION and the reason given for my dismissal from being a programmer on God's Learning Channel. The EVIDENCE of my testimony is the weekly TV programs themselves and the "Light of the Southwest" program which I have been on numerous times.

I am NOT trying to defend what I teach on GLC because of financial gain. Except for the last visit to GLC, Hebraic Heritage Ministries has paid the travel expenses to be on GLC. I have been generous to GLC. I gave GLC 100 DVD's of "Yeshua: From Genesis to Revelation" to help raise $10,000 to upgrade a GLC satellite in the Philippines. Often when I am on "Light of the Southwest", GLC chooses to replay the program over and over again. They are quite popular.

IF the accusations were TRUE that I teach Ephraimite ./ Two House BLOODLINE IDENTITY and GLC didn't want this teached then this would be one thing BUT I DON'T teach this but this is the reason given for being taken off GLC.

Since I have not derived any substantial gain from being on GLC but on the contrary HHMI has paid much of the travel expenses for being at GLC and have given of the resources of HHMI to GLC to help them raise money for worthwhile projects, my complaint it NOT about money. It is about standing for TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The Torah requires us to STAND for TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS. This is my motivation and this is the cause that I want you to join with me. I will stand that Yeshua died on the tree to gather and unite the 12 tribes of Israel. Since evangelical Christianity WON'T teach it and the MJAA, UMJC won't teach it. I WILL. The SHEEP of Messiah has been LIED to LONG ENOUGH. The SHEEP of Messiah MUST know WHY Yeshua died on the tree at his first coming and WHY He is coming again. The BRIDE MUST MAKE HERSELF READY. So, FALSE ACCUSATIONS by the enemy against this message CANNOT be aloud to stand. This is what I am requesting all my friends and my friends, friends to do. Call or write GLC and express your displeasure of this injustice. I am asking fellow Hebrew roots GLC programmers to stand with me regarding this issue. Please encourage them as you see them to make their voice heard and stand with me. Please call or write Al and Tommie Cooper:

Thank you for your support and your stance for TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS !!!!
