Pastor Matt Furse joins Jeremy Slayden on JSlayUSA for an educational conversation that is part history lesson and part bible study. We dive deep into the roots of dispensational theology, the influence of the Scofield Reference Bible, and how American Christians have been steered by narratives potentially rooted in twisted scripture. Pastor Furse shares his personal journey as a Baptist pastor who challenged the prevailing eschatological views, faced criticism, and wrote extensively on the Zionist movement and modern Israel’s impact on U.S. policy and Christian theology.

This discussion is rich with biblical analysis, historical context, and a call for truth-seeking believers to test every tradition through scripture—not politics or emotional loyalty.

“We reject any & all racism, and we reject any & all prejudice for, or hatred against, any ethnicity. We are NOT “anti-Semitic”… However, we ARE anti-fraud, anti-lies, anti-deception, anti-unbiblical doctrine, and we are “anti-anything” that is antiChrist! We are anti-Satan and his false religion. We are not against the Jewish people, but we are against their anti-Christ religion. We are not opposed to anyone owning their own private property, but we are opposed to the fraudulent property confiscation that is encouraged by Zionism.” -Matt Furse
