Well crafted message.
Absolutely. Wrong focus gets wrong results. Focus on the Heavenly Kingdom, let the politics sort themselves out.
Do you hold to the theology that the Church is now Israel and that the Church is grafted into the promises of God?
I don't hold to anything other than the HOPE that we are grafted into God whoever "we" are, whatever those promises may be. Ultimately, He will decide which of His promises apply, and which do not to each person.
Paul is usually misapplied and misinterpreted. His audience was "non-Jews" mostly. The "Jewish" Church was James--the one Paul asked for advice from.
Aren't you protected by libel / slander laws?
Did you see the court system when Trump "lost" the election? No thanks.
Also, not trying to minimize it but its true. We were promised this kind of thing would happen by Jesus and we have a long history of it happening. We win in the end. Love overcomes evil and the wicked. I think we need to remind our brothers and sisters in Christ of these things. These people are deceived by the enemy. They are not the enemy. God will deal with the enemy. We must trust in Jesus and not back down.
Indeed. You have now hit upon my actual Israel policy.
In our case, it allowed people to make false claims and threats that the institutions that should be guarding against that do nothing about. This then allowed them to magnify their attacks which resulted in the loss of our business and home and a sizable chunk of our Church.
You are always going to piss someone off. Best to try to have a discussion and if that fails. mute um.
Then, based on your biblical understanding of Israel, do you have an opinion on what the US foreign policy should be on the current situation in Gaza? Or how Christians should vote / communicate on the issue?
I think Trump has been steering a middle path on the issue with the re-location of the Gaza folks. Of course, the US tried that with the African American population previous to the Civil War, and that did not work out. Instead, everything became about blood and the outcome has been a still not full integration of African Americans. Politics show up all over the place if you are black, yellow, red, or neon. So, I'm hopeful that solution might work, but history shows it to be an often doubtful endeavor.
In terms of Christians voting, I'd ask for my eyes to discern clearly and to vote for the best choice that does the Will of God. Between Biden and Trump, that shouldn't have been a hard choice.
I'm really not who you want to have this debate with. Our Church was smeared by people who were Anti-Semitic leftists in 2017. Charlie is the latest version of this problem in an upside-down way. Free speech is fundamentally broken in multiple ways.
I'm not talking about US foreign policy. I'm talking about Prophetic fulfillment. The size of Israel is much larger than its current surface area. This is how God starts to make what He has spoken come to pass--just as WWII caused the land to be populated again.
Israel is a secular state.
Israel was formed as a fulfillment of Prophecy, post WWII. I'm not going to get into the specifics, but reading your Bible carefully should show you how this is so.
Nations are people, not governments.
Nations have governments since without them they cannot be nations.
Just as we have had and still have corrupt politicians in the US, Israel does as well.
Of course. When Israel had Kings, there were corrupt Kings. The Bible doesn't refer to those corrupt Kings as not Israel. Indeed, Israel is punished as a whole.
A work of God in Gaza is trying to be politicized. People might not like the fact that Prophetic Israel is larger than the current nation, but to them I'd say take the matter up with God. If you want a different solution, start praying for peaceful recognition of the authority of Israel in God and that He has mercy on those who are there.
Eh. It isn't that controversial. Trans people are unhinged as evidenced by the fact they are trans and think kids ought to be too. They don't want people speaking against the trans agenda, which is what he finished talking about when he was shot.
People hating on Israel are in for a rude awakening.
No. There is an effort, and I think I've seen it in some of your previous posts, to pivot this discussion off the trans dating guy and onto Israel instead. That only works, of course, in theory, if the trans dating guy isn't the shooter.
