TTE Interview with Adam King
Adam King is an unapologetic Jewish Zionist
Adam King is the host of The Adam King Show. You can find Adam’s shows on your favorite podcast platform.
Adam is a Jewish Zionist who has lived in both Israel and Gaza. He expresses extreme views, stating, “Palestinians are animals,” and he defends the ongoing violence in Gaza while supporting the concept of a Greater Israel. While Gunnar and I strongly disagree with his perspectives on Middle East politics, we find common ground with him on many other political and social issues. We are open to discussing different viewpoints, and this interview was conducted to educate ourselves and our viewers on the thoughts of Jewish Zionists. We did not engage in a debate with Adam or challenge his views, as we recognized that his mindset is unlikely to change. Our goal was simply to hear his perspective. Those of you who are Zionists may find this episode engaging. Additionally, those who advocate for peace rather than aligning with a specific side in this conflict may still find it entertaining and educational. In this discussion, we cover the Israel-Gaza conflict and politics surrounding the Third Temple and explore potential solutions to the situation.
Adam essentially tells the Palestinians, “Get out or die.”

There's clearly something wrong with this guy's theology. Like I said, people are entitled to their opinions, but I won't sit back while someone makes blasphemous statements about the character of God. Clearly, God was present when Adam was naming the animals. And the blazing holiness of God is clear by reading the Exodus account at Sinai. Exodus 22:18 (verse numbering per the BHS) clearly states (as part of the law that God gave to Moses): "Anyone lying with an animal, surely he will be put to death." So how is it that God, who exists in perfect, unchanging holiness, sits back and watches this offense to His character, as Adam commits repetitive acts for which the penalty is death? This guy needs to get his understanding of the Hebrew Bible sorted out. I have no interest in anything else that is said by someone who plays fast and loose with the Word of God.
I appreciate listening to others express their views, but it's important to me that factual representations are accurate, as a demonstration that the person knows what they are talking about. King says that he is immersed in Judaism, and maybe he is, but he stated that the Torah allows for a woman to have an abortion in the first 40 days. The TORAH does not say that - and I do care that the Word of God not be misrepresented. Maybe the Talmud says that, I don't know, but the Talmud is not the inspired Word of God.
Furthermore, the right of Israel to The Land has ALWAYS been conditional on the obedience of Israel to God. (See both the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities.) GOD, Himself, personally, delivers His people when they are faithful, yet today Israel is primarily atheistic, and there has not been a Jewish prophet since the time of Malachi. I am not arguing against whatever opinions this man might hold, as personal opinions, but I am saying, "Where is this man's understanding of the text that makes the promises that he claims are his?" He uses the text selectively, and then extrapolates incorrectly. There is a difference between saying someone has the right to their own opinions, and remaining silent when they mishandle the Word of God. I hope King will drop the Kabbalah and read the Tanakh in a serious manner, so he can develop a correct understanding of it, and honor what it teaches.
