Why are you ignoring what happens in the Islamic countries in the ME compared to free Israel? It's ironic (and illogical) that you don't like persecution of gays, yet the Israel you love to condemn doesn't put gays to death like Islamic countries. In fact, the safest place in the ME for a homosexual would be ... Israel. No?
No. You can be gay all you want in Tel Aviv but not in Jerusalem. Ohhhh no and that safe zone isn't going to last very long as the Ortho population skyrockets
I've never been spit on either, but my strong biblical stance has been met with fierce opposition. It only proves you to be an appeaser, if folks are comfortable with you being a "christian" only because you fully accept their liberal standard of morality instead of God's perfect standard. You're not following God and what He says, your following the crowd.
I follow the word of Jesus not man from a Covenant Jesus Himself deemed null and void and provided to you in Chapter and Verse.
I'm not pushing my religion on people. I'm here to share how I see the world through my biblical worldview. That's it. Even when discussing politics, of course I'm going to have a biblical position. To otherwise compartmentalize my faith would be preposterous.
You'll contniue to give you heart, mind and soul to Caesar? I don't think that is going to be a happy ending for you.
Yeah, and those Israelites were Jews! The ones God made a covenant with and the ones who followed Jesus!
Jews go all the way back to when God called Abraham and he circumcised himself.
Israelites lived in Israel, an entirely different country with entirely different religious beliefs. Jews didn't come into existannce until 350BC when they split Israel into two. Israelites go back to Abraham not the Jews. Look in your bible and find the word Jew prior to the Book of Kings II.
Nah, I'm good. I already know who Jews are, who Jesus Christ is, why Israel is here, and what specific events are certain to happen there.
Apparently you don't if you don't know the Jews practice a religion that was/is different than the Israelites. Jesus was an Israelite, He wasn't from Judea and he never practised the Jewish religion. His group in Galilee (a different country) were known as "the Pious ones".
Your version? The version that isn't the word of Jesus and comes from the OT that God/Jesus rendered null and void because it was bastardized to the point God got pissed off and took on a body of flesh to put an end to?
Wanna know what really tickles my funny bone? I can walk into a Catholic or Orthodox church and celebrate Mass in Israel or Palestine, but if you wanted to go and celebrate amongst your people, you'd have to go to E. Jerusalem in Palestine to do so.
Want to know why? Israel doesn't recognize Baptists and Evangelicals as a religion and they are not allowed to set up shop in Israel.
Why do the Jews hate you?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
