Antisemitism in the New IFB
Antisemitism is defined as hostility, prejudice, bigotry and racism directed against Jewish people. It has an evil twin known as Anti-Zionism, which is defined as opposition to the establishment or support of the state of Israel, particularly in an area of the Middle East roughly corresponding to (although significantly smaller than) the historical land of Israel, which is currently home to Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, Samaritans, Baha’i’s, and Atheists.
In the Middle Ages and up into the nineteenth century, Antisemitism was widespread. Jews were segregated and they were prohibited from holding certain jobs and from owning land. In Tsarist Russia, anti-Jewish laws remained in force into the early part of the twentieth century. On February 24, 1920, Adolph Hitler formed The National Socialist German Workers' Party, or Nazi Party, in Munich, Germany. This was the beginning of a resurgence of Antisemitism in Europe that eventually resulted in the deaths of six million Jews, as well as millions of non-Jews.
In Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf, written in 1924, he claimed he became an anti-Semite during his time in Vienna, Austra (1908-1913) when he was working as a painter. Whether this is true or not is a matter of speculation, but it does demonstrate that his Antisemitism was in full bloom by at least 1913. In addition to Mein Kampf, the Nazis also used a book published in Russia in 1903 titled, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, to justify their Antisemitism. Although the book was debunked in 1938 as an antisemitic forgery, all that mattered to the Nazis was that it supported their already long held antisemitic hatred.
By 1929, Joseph Stalin had become the leader of Soviet Russia, having exiled any and all who might pose adversarial to him. And, while in 1931, he addressed the issue of Antisemitism by saying it was wrong and abhorrent and so forth, the fact of the matter was that he was an avowed antisemite who hated Jews. The year before coming to supreme power, he tried to create a Soviet version of Israel in Siberia where all Soviet Jews could be removed from Soviet society and contained in a single localized space. Not unlike the Nazi ghettos, but on a much larger scale.
By 1936-37, Stalin had begun what has become known as the “Great Purge,” where thousands of people found themselves suddenly perceived as enemies of the state and under a death sentence. There were many Jews who lost their lives during this time. It was later, however, after World War II, in 1948, when two million loyal Soviet Jews suddenly found themselves declared to be enemies of the state, and Stalin’s reign of Antisemitic terror began in earnest. While we may never know exactly how many Jews Stalin killed, to say it is in the millions is likely an understatement.1
This is the antisemitic heritage that Steven Anderson and his New IFB has built on, and built on it they have. This is evidenced by the litany of antisemitic videos posted to YouTube by the New IFB. One really need look no further than Anderson’s videos, “How to Hate A Jew” (now removed from YouTube due to its hate content),2 “The Jews and Their Lies,”3 “The Jews Are Not the Chosen People”4, and his video, “Differences Between Old IFB and New IFB” in which Anderson explains that the Old IFB is Zionist, Pro-Israel and Pro-Jew; the New IFB is anti-Zionist/Zionism, anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish (which is the same thing as being anti-Semitic), they’re against the state of Israel, against the religion of Judaism. He states that the New IFB believes in “Replacement Theology, or Covenant Theology” he says, “We do not believe the Jews are God’s chosen people, we believe that Christians are God’s chosen people. That basically a spiritual nation made up of Christians has replaced the physical nation made up of the Israelites. ‘The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth fruits thereof,’ so, you know, they’ve been replaced. Or, you could look at it as we were graft in and they were broken off as Romans 11 teaches. But, either way you look at it, at the end of the day, you know, Christians in the New Testament replace Old Testament nation of Israel.”5
Paul Wittenberger, the New IFB filmmaker responsible for producing numerous New IFB “documentaries” alongside his pastor, Steven Anderson, runs the website, Framing the World and its accompanying online store. A check of Wittenberger’s website and online store reveals several antisemitic, Nazi-sympathetic related books advertised and for sale.6
DNA Science and the Jewish Bloodline by Texe Marrs and published by Marrs’ publishing company, RiverCrest Publishing7, in which noted antisemite Texe Marrs promotes what has become known as the “Khazarian Hypothesis” or the “Khazarian Myth” which states that the Jews living in Israel since 1948 are not actually Jewish at all, but rather are descendants of the Khazars, a Turk/Mongol people from the Caucasus region (an area covering modern day Southern Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan), thus concluding the Jews are not really Jews and have no connection whatsoever to historical Israel and no legitimate claim to the land of Israel. Marrs’ book is merely a regurgitation of a long refuted myth8.
The Synagogue of Satan: The Secret History of Jewish World Domination by Andrew Carrington Hitchcock9. Texe Marrs published this book as well as writing the foreword. The author, Andrew Hitchcock is a noted holocaust denier and antisemite who claims the Jews are actually priests of Lucifer. Hitchcock insists Jews are responsible for orchestrating a “White Genocide,” and creating laws to protect their fabricated myth of a Jewish holocaust at the hands of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party.
In this book, Hitchcock promotes his beliefs that the Jews have established an international conspiratorial Cabal that is “responsible for virtually all wars, revolutions, financial debacles and social upheavals”10. Hitchcock claims the Jews established groups such as the Bilderbergers, the Freemasons, and the Council of Foreign Relations in order to further their goal of total global domination and the deaths of billions of White people11.
In his book, Hitchcock claims that the Jews own “almost every major book publishing firm in the world”12; that they control all of America money through their central bank13; that they control the world’s gold markets14; that they are behind the funding of radical Islamic terror groups15; that they are influencing the United States Congress to endorse Talmudic laws that will call for the death by beheading of all Christians16; and that, among numerous other fanciful conspiracies, the Jews engineered both the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and the September 11, 2001 al-Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Center Towers, the Pentagon, and what was likely to be either the White House or the Capitol17.
The Myth of the Six Million: An Examination of the Nazi Extermination Plot by David Hoggan18. This book is another holocaust denial book, this one published by Willis Carto. Carto is best known for his antisemitic conspiracy theories and holocaust denial. Hoggan also promotes the idea that rather than fighting against the Nazi’s in World War II, the United States should have allied with them. Apparently Mr. Hoggan believes America should have assisted Hitler in his quest for world domination and the institution of occult paganism.
AUSCHWITZ: The Final Count by Vivian Bird (Editor).19 This small book contains several holocaust denial essays, including one by Willis Carto (see above). This is not surprising since Carto published this work through his The Barnes Review magazine. “Death books” (bound ledgers containing records of those who died) were kept at Auschwitz during the years 1940 to 1945; but, the death book for the years 1940, 1941, most of 1943, and all of 1944-1945 are missing. Therefore, no one really knows exactly how many people died at Auschwitz. Historians, however, estimate that between 1940 and 1945 as many as 1.1 million people were killed or otherwise died at the Nazi concentration camp. Bird, on the other hand, believes the number is far lower at just over 70,000.20
The Bad War: The Truth Never Taught About World War II by Jeff Rense and Mike King21. This self-published book begins with the same premise as David Hoggan (see above) that the United States was wrong to fight against the Nazi’s in World War II, and should have allied with them. Conspiracy theorists Rense and King take things a step further in this book, by putting forth their beliefs that the Japanese did not rape Nanking, that the war was a prelude to the establishment of a New World Order, and, of course, that the Jews had their hands in everything from the White House to world banking, and more all in their pursuit for global domination22.
Wittenberger’s website also advertises The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, one of the most antisemitic books ever written. Written in 1903 in Russia, translated into multiple languages and distributed throughout the world (auto manufacturing king Henry Ford paid to have half a million copies printed and sent throughout the United States), the book is ostensibly the minutes of a meeting of Jewish leaders that supposedly took place in the 19th century. According to the book, these Jewish leaders discussed their plans for global domination through the manipulation of the press, the economy, and the morals of the Gentiles. The Protocols of the Elders of Zion has been used for the past century by antisemites – including the Nazi’s, to support and promote their hatred for the Jewish people.
The Times of London exposed the book as a fraud in 1921, and by 1938 it had been completely debunked. It still remains, however, a popular work among antisemites.23
Are you beginning to see a pattern here? And it isn’t just Paul Wittenberger. As already noted, antisemitism is rampant in the New IFB. In fact, Wittenberger organized an Anti-Jewish, Anti-Israel “Conference” he called the “Marching to Zion” conference for October 2018 in celebration of both the New IFB hatred of the Jewish people, and the release of his “documentary” film of the same name.24
The New IFB Marching to Zion Conference was held at Stronghold Baptist Church (David Berzins – Pastor), a New IFB church in Atlanta, Georgia, on October 11-13, 2018.25
The conference schedule was to be26:
Day One:
Steven Anderson: “The Fake State of Israel”
Aaron Thompson: “Salvation Equality to the Jew & the Goyim Too”
Donnie Romero: “Replacement Theology”
Grayson Fritts: “Circumcision”
Donnie Romero: “Avoid Genealogies”
Joe Major: “Hollywood, Porn, and Human Trafficking (and the Jews)”
Day Two:
Patrick Boyle: “The Gospel of John Ripping on Jews”
Jonathan Shelley: “Stealing Christ’s Land”
Bruce Mejia: “The Allegory of the Two Sons (Galatians 4)”
Tommy McMurtry: “A Rebuke to Baptist Missions to Israel”
Steven Anderson: “Romans Chapter 11 (and the Jews)”
Day Three:
Discussion with Tommy McMurtry and Joe Major, “The True Temple Mount Location”
Michael Johnson: “The Promises to Israel Were Conditional”
Joe Major: “The Evils of Judaism the Religion”
Adam Fannin: “The Coming Jewish Antichrist”
Dave Berzins: “The Jews Don’t Follow the Torah They Follow the Talmud”
Every message a message of hate. At one point, the conference was abruptly canceled by the ticket sales venue, who suddenly announced the conference canceled and they promptly refunded the ticket price to people who had purchased tickets to the conference. No reason was ever given publicly, but it is likely the sales venue (Event Brite) upon realizing the nature of the conference decided they did not want to be associated with antisemitic hate. When clicking on the link provided by Paul Wittenberger and Steven Anderson to the Event Brite website to purchase conference tickets (www.eventbrite.com/e/marching-to-zion-conference-tickets-47881258132), you are taken to the Event Brite website, but to an error page saying “this page is not available”
This caused the New IFB to go into crisis management / damage control mode, and they were soon putting out videos announcing the conference had not been canceled, and setting up conference registration centers in a local park and a Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food restaurant27.
“Eventbrite has shut down our ability to sign people up for the Marching to Zion Conference for hate speech” Steven Anderson wrote to his followers. “They have cancelled our account and have refunded everyone there tickets. However, that's not going to stop this event. We are asking for people to re-sign up for the event and re-purchase your tickets at Framingtheworld.com. Just follow this link below and purchase a ticket for each person attending the event. So sorry for this inconvenience.” Not wanting to be left out, Jonathan Shelley quickly followed suit and wrote, “#Eventbrite #Cancelled the Marching to Zion #Conference like a bunch of hypocrites. Never use this company!”28
New IFB pastor Michael Johnson of Temple Baptist Church was also “Johnny-on-the-Spot” and put out his own video:
“Here’s another verse that people use out of context, Psalm 122, in verse number 6, ‘Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! They shall prosper that love thee.’ Don’t you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? People who..these Zionist Christians, ‘Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.’ Let’s keep reading (chuckles), ’cause when we’re talking about misinterpreted Scriptures and things that are taken out of context. Verse 7, ‘Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy houses, FOR MY BRETHREN and companions sake, I will now say, peace be within thee.’ Who’s they? Who they even talking about? Somebody’s saved brethren! ’Cause he’s saved!
“Now, people, they get all offended at this when we’re like, ‘You know that the Jews are the sons of the devil!’ and all these things. They get so bent out of shape when we say things like that, but we’re just quoting the Lord Jesus Christ.” But is he actually quoting the Lord Jesus Christ as he claims? No, he isn’t. He is, in fact, lying from the pulpit. One need only to continue listening to see this as he goes on to quote Elijah, David, and Jeremiah, but not Jesus. He says, “Look, if it’s wrong to pray against Israel then you need to talk to Elijah. ‘Who maketh intercessions against Israel.’ You need to talk to David in Psalm 69 where he says, ‘May..Let them not be written with the righteous. Let their names be blotted out of the Book of Life.’ Well you say, ‘Oh no, but we need to pray for the land! You know, the lamb!’ Well then you need to talk to Jeremiah when God told him, ‘Pray not for this people!’ He says in Jeremiah 6:17, uh, 7:16, ‘Therefore, pray not for this people. Neither lift up a cry or a prayer for them. Neither make intercession to me for I will not hear thee.’”29
And please notice that when he quotes these Old Testament prophets and King David, he is making reference not to instances where God has not permanently abandoned Israel, but only where He is punishing Israel for their sin. Pastor Mejia recognizes this and states, “So what has changed since then? ‘Well they’re God’s chosen people.’ No. They’re God’s chosen people in the Old Testament when they’re obeying God and following the God of the Bible.” So even though Israel is God’s chosen people – at this point in their history according to Mejia, he still condemns them all, as an entire nation, saying they are not God’s people. He is not only lying (as shown in his own contradictory statements), but he is intentionally obfuscating his lies by making a confusing eisegesis of Scripture!
Mejia goes on, “But when they decided to forsake God and serve Balaam,”30 Okay, wait a minute. Has “Pastor” Mejia even read the Bible? Does he have any idea what happens in it? Israel never served Balaam as he claims. Numbers chapters 22-24 describe Balak trying to get Balaam to curse Israel, but instead Balaam blessed Israel. Four times! Later, he told Balak how to get Israel to fall into sin, which they did, but never at any time does Scripture teach that Israel ever serve Balaam. Mejia does not know what he is talking about. A condition common within the New IFB movement.
Mejia continues his thought by saying, “you know, take up the Star of Remphan, and the tabernacle of Moloch, God says ‘don’t pray for them, they’re done.’”31 Again, this does not mean what Mejia apparently thinks it means. He is referencing Acts 7:43, thinking it is referring to a New Testament occurrence; but what he apparently does not realize is, that, Acts 7:43 is itself a reference to Amos 5:25-27, wherein Amos is prophesying about the then forth coming Babylonian exile was was necessary as punishment for Israel taking up the worship of Moloch and either an Assyrian or Egyptian (or both) celestial god which Amos 5:26 translates as Remphan. The point here is, however, that these transgressions were forgiven and Israel was once again brought back as God’s chosen people.
Mejia continues, “‘Yeah, but we’re in the New Testament.’ Yeah, it’s even worse for them in the New Testament. It’s even worse! They’re treasuring up wrath unto themselves! Okay. And look, God is saying, ‘I’m not hearing you.’” Again Mejia confuses the Old Testament turning away of God from Israel, with the New Testament where He does no such thing. He goes on, “So these guys that want to have prayer meetings and stuff like that for Israel and Jerusalem, you know, you’re just wasting your breath. Go..You accomplish more gossiping (laughs), than praying for Israel. ’Cause at least God will hear gossip and punish you for it. He’ll actually take action. ‘Prayer for Israel? I don’t even know what that guy..I’m not listening. I’m not gonna punish him, I’m not gonna reward him, I’m just not gonna hear him.’ He says, ‘Don’t make intercessions for me.’ So nothing has changed, other than the fact that we’re now God’s chosen people.”32
Here Mejia moves into what is known as “Replacement Theology” (also known as Supersessionism), an unbiblical teaching related to the heresy of Marcionism (in that it removes the Jews as Marcion did, and replaces them with the Church). The New IFB also mistakenly believes Replacement Theology is simply another word for the Reformed doctrine of Covenant Theology33.
Mejia goes on to say in reference to Israel, “No, you guys, here’s the thing: if you are helping those who hate the Lord, wrath is upon you, from before the Lord. If you want their good, and you want them to prosper, then wrath is on you before the Lord. We want to make sure that we stay far clear, steer far clear from helping any ungodly person that hates the Lord, and hates the Lord Jesus Christ.”34 Again, this is a false teaching, based on antisemitic hatred, that claims Israel has long been abandoned by God because it hates God. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. Yes, Judaism continues (so far) to reject the Messiah, but that does not mean it/they hate God. It means they retain an Old Testament understanding of God, and their eyes have not been opened en masse to the reality of the Triune nature of God, and so they continue to reject Jesus. Again, at least so far.
The New IFB is not only blinded by its hatred for others, including the Jews, but it has also hardened its heart to the truth of Scripture. Because of their self-imposed hardness of heart, the New IFB has failed to understand God’s word, and, by extension, God Himself. They have failed to understand the clear and explicit teaching of Scripture in Romans 11:26-27, which states:
“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.”
Did you catch that? “All Israel shall be saved.” Not may be saved, not might be saved, not could be saved, but will be saved. Furthermore, “There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer” – this is Jesus, “and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” (Israel). So this is not referring to a past occurrence, but a future event. At some point in the future Jesus will turn Israel away from sin (ungodliness) and He will save them. Nor is this a “may, might, could” happen occurrence, for God states very clearly that the salvation of Israel, by Jesus, is His “covenant unto them” (verse 27). That Israel clearly appears in the Book of Revelation (chapters 7,12,14,21) is further evidence of this New IFB fallacy.
While it should be clear that the New IFB is obviously antisemitic, and anti-Israel, they continue to maintain that they are not. They continue to claim they are simply anti-Zionism. But when New IFB pastor Michael Johnson posted a video where he referred to the “Marching to Zion Conference” as the “Anti-Israel Conference” the proverbial cat was out of the bag. Although Johnson’s entire YouTube channel has since been removed from the internet, screen shots continue exist in cyber space. They are reproduced here.
Anderson also takes antisemitism to the next obvious step, and he denies the nation of Israel. “It’s a fraud” he exclaims, saying the Jews that returned to Israel weren’t really Jews. The Jews, he says, “they didn’t come back!” Anderson claims the Jews who have been populating Israel since 1948 are not Jews, but rather Ashkenazi’s who are white people from Caucasus region of Europe. This is more commonly known as the “Khazar Myth” and it has been thoroughly debunked for many years. Of course, as with most conspiracy theorists, Anderson believes the evidence debunking the Khazar conspiracy is actually part of the conspiracy itself, believing it was the Jews who created the evidence in order to protect themselves and discredit those whom the conspiracy theorists believe have debunked the Jews. This is why normal people don’t often try to deal with conspiracy theorists. Their beliefs will make your head spin!
Anderson explains, “Let me tell you something. The Jews – not only were they scattered as a punishment in AD 70 and AD 135, they’ve been hated in every country that they’ve ever lived in for the last 2,000 years. In fact, did you know that – I believe 51 countries throughout history have expelled all the Jews. ‘Cause the one that you think of is 1492, when they were kicked out of Spain, but they’ve been kicked out of England, kicked out of the Netherlands, kicked out of Germany, kicked out of France, over and over again. You know, all throughout history. Even the Rabbis will tell you that they’ve been hated and persecuted in every single country they’ve ever lived in for the last 2,000 years. And people will say ‘Oh, that’s ‘cause they’re God’s people, that’s why they’re hated.’ No, Jesus Christ said in Matthew 24, – and isn’t Matthew 24 the chapter where they try to say ‘oh, this is just to the Jews?’ – In Matthew 24, Jesus Christ said this: ‘you shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.’ Now have the Jews been hated for the name of Jesus? No, they’ve been hated because of being bankers, and they’ve been hated for blaspheming Jesus, but they dead-sure have not been hated because of Jesus’ name. They don’t claim the name of Jesus, okay. So why have they been persecuted, and hated, and kicked out of every country, you know, over the course of the last few thousand years? Simply this: They’re under the curse of God for rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ.”36
Did you catch what he did there? Using Matthew 24:9, “Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.”, as evidence of the Jews being under the curse of God. Of course, the problem with this becomes painfully clear when you read the passage in context, especially from verse 3 down through verse 31 where it is clear that Jesus is talking to His disciples, not the Jews. Jesus is teaching that it is Christians who will be persecuted for his name’s sake. Not the Jews. But this is the only way Anderson and others in the New IFB are able to make their unbiblical doctrines appear in Scripture: by twisting it until it is a mangled mess that no longer resembles the inspired word of God.
And, if he is going to claim that the Jews are not the Jews, then the next obvious step is to deny the holocaust, and that is precisely what Anderson does. In a video released by Anderson, but later removed by YouTube because of its obvious racist and antisemitic tone, Anderson begins by emphatically stating he is not a racist. That he loves Jews, and that he has personally pleaded with Jews to come to Christ for salvation.37 But at the end of the day, those are just words, and when the actions associated with those words are contrary to the extreme, then those actions speak far louder than the words alone.
As we have already seen, Steven Anderson and his New IFB movement have gone out of their way to vehemently express their beliefs that the Jews are evil, wicked, controlling, greedy lovers of money, manipulative, are fraudulently occupying the nation of Israel, do not even really exist as a people, are fraudulently claiming to be Jews, are engaged in a fraudulent religion, and more.38 If these awful doctrines of the New IFB don’t qualify as racist and antisemitic, then nothing does. And, in addition to the doctrines of devils being taught by Anderson and his New IFB, He and they also actively and passionately deny the holocaust.
Anderson’s position is that the holocaust is a hoax, a scam, and a Jewish conspiracy. He claims that it is illegal in fourteen countries39 (although this is demonstrably false40), a fact which Anderson claims is proof of a Jewish conspiracy to promote the holocaust41.
He continues his case promoting the holocaust as a Jewish conspiracy by saying six million Jews were not killed and subsequently cremated by the Nazi’s. Anderson claims the number is far too high, and he claims it is a number decided on by the Jews long before Adolph Hitler was elected President of Germany in 1934, perhaps even before his appointment to Chancellor in 1933. Anderson teaches the commonly accepted number of six million Jews killed by the Nazi’s was a foreordained number chosen by the Jews because, as he says, “the Jews love numbers. That’s what the kabbalah is all about.”
He goes on, “Think about all the things they [the Jews] fixate on that contain the number six. They have a 6 pointed star, 6 million dead in the holocaust, the 6 days war, and how many supposed death camps were there? Well, of course, there were 6. You know if you look through the list, Auschwitz, Treblinka, Kulmhof, Sobibor, Majdanek and Belzec. So that number is before ordained”42 (there were actually nine43, but hey, he was on a roll at this point). Anderson continues, “You can even find ten newspaper articles from before Hitler was even elected where they’re talking about 6 million Jews are gonna be killed, 6 million Jews, 6 million Jews. So that number is like a magic number to them. That 6 million figure. It’s not really based on real history and science. It’s just a number that was foreordained.”44
He goes on, “So yeah, you can change the total at Auschwitz from 4 million to 1.5 million or down below a million, but hey, it’s 6 million total and shut up and believe it because we said so. Now, let’s talk about the number of people that were killed at Auschwitz.”
The problem with Anderson’s argument, however, is that he draws from only part of the research that has been done regarding the number of Jews murdered by the Nazi’s during World War Two. He draws on only those parts of the research that he can twist and reinterpret (or misinterpret) so he can shoe-horn it into his revisionist presentation of history.
What we do know, and that Anderson conveniently omits, is that Dr. William Hoettl, an Austrian Nazi Party member with the rank of SS-Sturmbannführer and the acting head of intelligence and counter espionage for Hitler, and who said under oath on more than one occasion that the number was six million. The first time was during the Nuremberg war trials in 1945, and the second time was during the trial of Adolph Eichmann in 1961. Hoettl testified that Eichmann, who was responsible for the logistics for the of the Jewish genocide, told him in August 1944 that the number of Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis was about six million – four million in the extermination camps and another two million at the hands of the Einsatzgruppen (the Nazi death squads) who shot them, as well as those who died via starvation, disease, and other forms of neglect while in Nazi custody45.
Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, reports there are several scholars who all confirm the numbers are between five and six million. The center reports that these estimates are derived through the examination of both pre and post World War II census data and population estimates, as well as the detailed records kept by the Nazi’s recording deportations and gassings. The Center itself maintains a list of documented Jewish holocaust victims. To date the list contains more than four million names. The number is undoubtedly more considering the Russians have yet to release all of their captured Nazi records46.
Raul Hilberg, the world’s preeminent scholar on the holocaust, wrote in his magnum opus, “The Destruction of the European Jews” in 1961, that the number of Jews killed by the Nazi’s as part of their “Final Solution to the Jewish Question” was 5.1 million. In the 1985 edition he provided a detailed explanation of exactly how he arrived that that estimate47.
In 1975, award winning historian Lucy Schildkret Dawidowicz wrote in her book, “The War Against the Jews,” that using pre and post war birth and death records she was able to narrow the figure to 5,933,90048.
During the mid to late 1990’s, preeminent German historian Wolfgang Benz reported his findings after being allowed access to government archives in Eastern Europe, by which he was able to determine the number of Jews killed by the Nazi’s was between 5.29 million and 6.2 million49.
When one notices the contrasting numbers it is easy to conclude that no one knows what they are talking about. Which is similar to Steven Anderson’s conspiracy theory conclusion. However, it is important to remember two things. The first is that researchers can only use the information they have access to, and some researchers obviously have access to records and research material that other researchers do not have access to. Equally important is that the six million figure was never meant to be a precise number of victims. It has always been an estimate, a best guess based on available records and expert testimony. As the recent expert research has shown (such as noted here), however, the number is reasonably accurate, perhaps more so than many have ever realized.
Anderson then concludes his video with one of the strangest monologues possible. He begins with a long drawn out explanation of how it was humanly impossible for the Nazi’s to have killed and cremated the number of Jews that are claimed to have been killed and cremated. But he presents inaccurate and incomplete information upon which he bases his claim. He claims most of those who were cremated died of natural causes and were not killed by the Nazis. He claims to have done the research, and he invites others to do their own research. However, his research is limited only to other holocaust deniers (likely because holocaust deniers believe that all research done by non-holocaust researchers is tainted by the Jews and their supporters); and he knows full well that most people are not as committed to the facts and figures regarding the Holocaust as he and other holocaust deniers believe they are (they are actually committed to furthering their conspiracy theory).50
Anderson then goes into another long drawn out explanation, this time regarding the word holocaust. He says that as he was reading his Spanish Bible (La Santa Biblia) and learned that Noah offered “un holocausto to the Lord” when he got off the ark, and he determined the word meant “the whole burnt offering.” Anderson is close, although the text does not say “un holocausto” as he says it does when he quotes it. The reference is to Genesis 8:20, which reads, “Y edificó Noé un altar a Jehová, y tomó de todo animal limpio y de toda ave limpia, y ofreció holocausto en el altar.”51 The phrase Anderson is referring to is, “y ofreció holocausto en el altar” and not “un holocausto” as he claims. This is the beginning of where he goes horribly wrong in his eisegetical interpretation of the text.
The phrase is translated as, “and offered holocaust on the altar.” The word “holocaust” is translated from the Greek word holocauston, which, in turn, is a translation of the Hebrew word `olah, which refers to a burnt sacrifice. Anderson then takes this very simple understanding of the word holocaust, and claims that since the “final solution to the Jewish question” was known as the “holocaust,” this clearly means that the supposed goals was to “kill all the Jews and cremate them all.” He claims this is what the holocaust actually means. He then explains that since the entire Jewish race was not all killed and cremated in World War II, then the holocaust didn’t actually happen. “My point is this,” he says, “if there was no mass cremation of millions and millions of Jews, then can you really call it the holocaust anymore?”
That anyone can actually accept the complete suspension of rational thought necessary to believe such nonsense is difficult to accept. And yet here we have Steven Anderson on video that has been preserved for posterity demonstrating this very thing. It takes very little time and effort to do the research and learn that most of the Jewish victims who were cremated were burned in pits, trenches, and pyres. Not in the crematoria. Anderson claims this method would be inadequate for the destruction of the bodies. As we see here, Anderson begins with a premise (that the Nazi’s were intent on both killing all of the Jews and then cremating all of the bodies) that simply has no basis in reality.
While the Nazi’s were intent on ridding the world of Jews, the burning of the bodies was simply a method utilized to help alleviate the problem of stacks of dead bodies. Their primary goal was to eradicate the Jews. Remove them the planet. To achieve this psychopathic end they shot them. By the thousands. They then took the bodies and dumped them in pits, trenches, ravines, and on pyres. Many of the bodies they burned in the pits and on the pyres. Did these fires consume the bodies completely? No, of course not. But to be brutally frank, it is far easier to dispose of the remains once they had been burned in such a manner, than it would have been had they been simply shot and buried. The burning of the bodies, you see, was nothing more than a means to an end. When the statistics are matched with the methods, it quickly becomes apparent that around six million Jews were systematically exterminated52.
Steven Anderson and his New IFB movement deny the existence of the Nazi death camps (claiming they were all simply forced labor camps. What he and they fail to mention and/or understand is that thousands died at the hands of the Nazi’s while in these camps. Virtually all of the Nazi concentration camps, regardless of their initial purpose, became a death camp to one degree or another.
Anderson tries to claim that the Nazi’s simply wanted the Jews to leave Germany, and not necessarily to exterminate them. He points to a commemorative coin bearing both the Nazi swastika and the star of David as evidence of this. He claims the Nazi’s and the Jews were working hand in hand to accomplish this. He even references the Haavara Agreement of August 193353 (between National Socialists and German Zionists) as evidence of this. What he has either failed or chosen to mention is that the Haavara Agreement was nothing more than a precursory stage of what became known as the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question”, which was the Nazi plan to rid Germany (and the world) of all Jews. While the Haavara Agreement served to relocate some 60,000 Jews to British Palestine between 1933 and 1939, as the war broke out the Nazi’s soon realized that this plan was no longer feasible, and another plan, one that worked within the parameters of war the Nazi’s had instituted against the world, was necessary.
Anderson finishes his antisemitic video diatribe of nonsensical myths and debunked conspiracy theories by making several comments that can only be described as insulting. Insulting to the Jewish people, insulting to those unfortunate enough to view his video (by assuming they are too stupid to realize he is merely regurgitating the same tired old long refuted antisemitic garbage), and insulting to God by claiming to be a Christian while exhibiting a hatred on par with the Nazi’s he laughingly claims he does not approve of.
He claims the reason the Nazi’s shaved the Jews heads and made them take showers (Anderson claims the showers were regular showers, and not gas chambers) was because, well, they are Jews so, you know filthy and diseased and head lice. More racist antisemitic language.
As with virtually all holocaust deniers, Anderson creates a straw man argument, saying things such as the holocaust is about six million Jews being sent straight to death camps where they were murdered, the photographs of the emaciated corpses proves there was no holocaust because it proves they weren’t sent straight to their deaths upon reaching the camps and there aren’t any photos of six million dead Jews, and there are no credible witnesses to the gas chambers or cremations, and the Jews deny that Jesus is the Messiah therefore they are all liars and are thus lying about the holocaust, and he then proceeds to tear down the straw man he has built and say it proves the holocaust did not happen.
In order to show that all Jews will go to hell, Anderson makes reference to Matthew 8:12, “But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” and he says that this verse shows all Jesus will go to hell. However, as he often does, Anderson eisegetes the text rather than exegetes it, and his explanation defies all rational understanding as it ignores numerous explicitly taught Scripture in order to support what Anderson already believes. The passage is referring to theocratic Jews who believed that because they were trusting in the law to save them, rather than for God to save them (which is contrary to what God has always taught, even in regard to the law (see Romans 7:7-25), and who thus believed they were children of the kingdom. Jesus was simply using language they would recognize as being about themselves.
Anderson claims the reason the Jews lie about the holocaust is because without the holocaust, the nation of Israel would not exist. He says the holocaust was the “justification for going into Palestine and stealing the land from the Arabs who lived there, and killing a bunch of Palestinians and kicking them out, and putting them into a giant concentration camp known as Gaza or the West Bank.”
He claims the United Nations and the Rothchilds and the World Government, etc., were behind creation of the nation of Israel; and Zionism was created by the Jews to manipulate the United States into supporting Israel, and has caused the Muslims to hate Americans. It’s all the Jews fault.
He then offers some research options for those who want to research the holocaust for themselves. He recommends:
The Holocaust Hoax Exposed by Victor Thorn
Auschwitz The Case for Sanity by Carlo Mattogno
The Hoax of the Twentieth Century: The Case Against the Presumed Extermination of European Jewry by Arthur Butz
All three are standard holocaust denial books.
At the end of the day, the holocaust denial doctrine of Steven Anderson, as with the entire holocaust denial movement, is filled with uninformed suppositions and speculations coupled with their own misanthropic misrepresentations of the facts. Their tactics are almost uniform throughout the movement. They do irrelevant calculations based on their own ignorance in order to "prove" their claims. Quite often they will hyper focus on a specific, usually obscure aspect of the holocaust while ignoring the totality of the whole. They ignore the all of the historical evidence in favor of their presuppoitionally biased calculations. The purpose of the tactics is to cast doubt on that specific claim, and then they leave it up to others to come in and disprove them. Most people will not take the time to fully research the holocaust, and the deniers like Anderson not only know this, but they count on it. If they are able to cast doubt on any particular aspect of the holocaust, then they have then succeeded in creating doubt in the average persons mind regarding the whole of the holocaust. Once one is doubtful about one aspect, they will never be sure regarding what they know about the rest.
This is the goal of the holocaust denier. They cannot be dissuaded by rational arguments or logic or even irrefutable documented evidence. They are usually so thoroughly indoctrinated, so completely infused with antisemitism and an irrational hatred of Jews; and so convinced that the Jews are behind a vast shadowy international cabal operating with the goal of destroying the (white) western world, and establishing global domination with the center of their power located in Israel, that they can only be changed by a miracle of God.
Luke 24:46-47 says, "And [Jesus] said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”
To whom? To the very Jews that called for Christ’s crucifixion. Why? Because, as the Apostle Paul makes very clear in his epistle to the Romans, God continues to love the Jews and is clearly not done with them yet. He still intends on saving the remnant of His children that are found among the Jewish people. Compare this with Isaiah 37:4; Ezra 9:8; Nehemiah 1:2; Haggai 1:12; Isaiah 10:22; and Zephaniah 2:7. See God’s message to Elijah in 1 Kings 19, He will reserve for Himself a remnant. See God’s message to Ezekiel 6, He will reserve for Himself a remnant. See the 144,000 Jews reserved for the Lord in Revelation 7 and 14. See Isaiah 37:31, the Tribe of Judah will be a remnant preserved for the Lord. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ came though the Tribe of Judah! (Matthew 1:1-6; Luke 3:31-34). God will always reserve for Himself a remnant of His people from among the Jews, “Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved”! (Romans 9:27). While Steven Anderson is quick to write off the Jews, God is not going to write them off as easily as Anderson.
Conclusion
As we have seen throughout this examination of Steven Anderson and his New IFB movement, they are anything but Christian, regardless of what they call themselves. From criminal activity engaged in by movement leaders, to documented lying to their congregants from the pulpit; from rampant hypocrisy to widespread denial of the biblical Jesus, replacing Him with either a modalist deity or a trithesitic deity; from slander and character assassination to orchestrated attacks designed to destroy the reputation of a person; from obvious unbiblical and anti-biblical doctrines to demonically inspired hatred, the New IFB movement is the antithesis of biblical, God honoring, Christ worshiping, Holy Spirit led Christianity.
For those who are involved with the New IFB Movement, it would serve you well to remove yourselves as fast and as far from it as you possibly can.
For those who have been exposed to the New IFB Movement, run! Run as far and as fast as you can away from it! Do not hesitate! Run for your very spiritual lives!
For those who may be contemplating involving themselves and they family in this movement, please reconsider. Please think very hard about becoming involved with this ear tickling cult. They only want to hook you and drag you into their movement and further increase their numbers, their influence, and their reach.
For all of you, please remember the God inspired words of the Apostle Paul instructs the body in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18,
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

In answer to your inquiry :
National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.
Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism.
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

Note: In this video, Anderson also states that the New IFB is completely intolerant of LGBT, that they hate LGBT, and not just the sin of homosexuality, but also homosexuals themselves. This is borne out by the refusal of New IFB churches to even allow homosexuals into their church buildings to hear a sermon, their refusal to share the gospel with them, and their insistence that ALL homosexuals are reprobate and beyond any hope for salvation (contrary to 1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Also in this video, Anderson references both Donnie Romero (by sin, not by name) and mentions Romero stole money from the church – thus admitting his complicity by not turning Romero over to the police, and telling everyone else to not say anything because, “we have to keep Donnie out of jail.” and he also references Paul Berg (again by sin and not name) as the “Layman who was found out to be a pervert, we exposed him and turned him over to the police!” (not an exact quote, see video at the 12:00 mark). He goes on to say that while the Old IFB is generally pro-Republican in their politics, the New IFB is staunchly against both parties, and is staunchly anti-War, what Anderson calls “more of a Ron Paul Republican type of view.” He says, “We’re against the military industrial complex and the warfare state, call us (scare quotes) conspiracy theorists (scare quotes) or whatever.” He goes on to say the New IFB is anti-birth control. Next, Anderson says New IFB sermons are “expository in nature.” Seriously? Maybe in a twisted Scripture sort of way. Maybe more of an “Eisegetical exposition” of the Bible. He defines expository as going verse by verse. Exegesis is technical and grammatical exposition, a careful drawing out of the exact meaning of a passage in its original context. {To prepare an expository sermon, the preacher starts with a passage of Scripture and then studies the grammar, the context, and the historical setting of that passage in order to understand the author’s intent. In other words, the expositor is also an exegete—one who analyzes the text carefully and objectively. (See our article “What is the difference between exegesis and eisegesis?”) Once the preacher understands the meaning of the passage, he then crafts a sermon to explain and apply it. The result is expository preaching. https://www.gotquestions.org/expository-preaching.html}. He goes on to say the New IFB is anti-Bible College. He says the pastors in the New IFB “believe in teaching all the heavy Bible doctrine in church, Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, they’ll teach the heavy doctrine.” He says the Old IFB is into Christian school, but the New IFB is all about Home schooling (which he ironically spells “home shool”). He says, “we’re also into not vaccinating our children, and taking a more alternative view to medicine sometimes such as home birth and breast feeding the baby and doing things more naturally and holistically,” He says that all the things they deviate on from the Old IFB – such as noted here, are “actually an improvement in every case. If you actually compare these things side by side, you’ll see that in every case we’ve gotten closer to the word of God. We’ve actually tightened things up and improved things.” He claims that being anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish is a biblical viewpoint. He says the New IFB is led by the Holy Spirit. It’s interesting that Anderson keeps talking about the Old IFB from its beginnings in the 1940’s as being “traditional” and the “old paths.” Mid-20th century is not old with regard to Christianity, nor Christian tradition. That would be the early centuries AD. Maybe that’s why they are so willing to accept the pre-Wrath thing which didn’t exist until the 1990’s. These are the core doctrinal distinctives of the New IFB, held by every New IFB church.

While Replacement Theology replaces Israel with the Church as God’s chosen people, and subscribes all of God’s promises to Israel to the Church instead; Covenant Theology does not. Covenant Theology teaches that the Church, and not national Israel, is the Israel of God mentioned in Galatians 6:16. At the same time, however, Covenant Theology does not exclude Israel from the Church, and believes it will, in time, come to accept Jesus as their Messiah and be included in the Israel of God, which is another term for the true believers of God. It has always meant that, and had never meant national Israel. See Romans chapter 11.

35. The New IFB admits that they are anti-Israel
It it wan’t clear enough by the claims that Israel loves occupation and likes murdering Palestinians, it now has been made clear that the New IFB is actually self-admitting to being anti-Israel. Several months ago, when Tyler Doka was still on the up-and-up in the New IFB, he criticized the militarygetsaved Baptist Church directory for calling his church Anti-Israel. But now, Pastor Johnson has uploaded a video admitting that the Marching to Zion conference is not just an anti-zionism conference, but anti-Israel. See the screenshots of the video title below.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_against_Holocaust_denial
Accessed 10 October 2019
16 specifically illegal & 5 more which include holocaust denial as part of other laws, for a total of 21 countries.
There are a total of sixteen countries that have made holocaust denial a criminal offense: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungry, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Slovakia.
There are an additional five countries where although denial of the holocaust is not specifically a crime, it is included within the description of similar crimes:
Liechtenstein (though not specifically illegal, denial of genocide and other crimes against humanity is an imprisonable offense),
The Netherlands (though not specifically illegal, it is included in this country’s hate crime and anti-discrimination laws),
Portugal (though not specifically illegal, denial of war crimes if used to promote racism or discrimination is an imprisonable offense),
Spain (though denial is not illegal, justifying the holocaust is an imprisonable offense),
Switzerland (though not specifically illegal, denial of genocide and other crimes against humanity is an imprisonable offense).
These twenty-one countries will prosecute holocaust denial either under their laws specifically identifying holocaust denial as a criminal offense, or under their existing hate crime laws, anti-discrimination laws, denazification laws, and crimes against humanity laws. Contrary to Anderson’s claim, most of these laws are specifically pro-Jewish or pro-Israel. They are, however, pro-humanity which is a decidedly biblical teaching and decidedly against everything Steven Anderson and the New IFB stand for, believe, and teach.
