Fuck you, Ralphie. For the majority of you ultra-religious, Bible-thumping literalists, the only reason you need Israel to survive is the return of Jesus and the Armageddon thing. Otherwise, most could not give a shit.
Clearly you are ignorant concerning "fundamental Christianity" and the actual content of the holy scriptures...which demonstrates that the modern nation calling itself Israel...is not, cannot, or never will be the Israel recorded in the holy bible. Its Israel in name only and divorced from the nation of biblical Israel.
I support Israel for one reason, and its not about some misconceived translation of the holy scriptures where many people are in error concerning just who the chosen people of the God of creation actually are CHRISTIANITY.......THE REASON I support modern Israel......
Israel is a US alley, Israel is the closest thing to any form of democracy in that region of the world and they are surrounded by a sea of 15th century thugs who propagate hate and sword point conversion to ISLAM.
What's your reason , other than you being a bigoted anti-semite, for
supporting the persecution of modern Israel?
The Bible clearly states that once the covenant of Christianity went into effect, "There is neither Greek nor Jew, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you all are one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heir to the promise." -- Gal. 3:28-29
Biblical Israel 'died' in the 1st century....there will never be another Biblical Israel. The only path to salvation for modern Israel is the same path that exists for everyone.....the atoning blood of Christ Jesus.
Compare Biblical Israel to Modern Israel...there is no comparison.
Biblical Israel governed by the law of Moses. Modern Israel governed by a set of man made laws
B I ruled by a King. M Icertainly has no King
B I historically possessed all the land
of promise -- 1 Kings 4:21 M I possesses but a portion of the land promised to
Abraham, thus the conflict over the west bank
B I had a royal priesthood called
Levitical priesthood Nu. 3:6-10 M I no priests
B I had a tribal ID -- 2 Sam. 5:1-3 MI tribes no longer known
The remnant of Biblical Israel now resides within the Kingdom of Christ. My support of modern Israel certainly has nothing to do with the faith generated by the holy scriptures that rests within my heart. I support Israel for one reason....ITS THE RIGHTEOUS THING TO DO.
