Israel

[Guest man]

This comment was made in another thread....I wanted to respond there, but out of respect for the person who started the thread, I didn't.

The deepest level of hell is reserved for traitors, don't forget. Israel isn't special, it's just a state for the Jews where they're supposedly safe from persecution. Israel is not God's chosen people any longer.

This is blasphemy.

I don't get offened too easily but I find that statement extremely offensive.

I know this will probably get shut down or deleted but I had to say something.

There is no defense for a statement like that.

Well I don't know who said it, but they are delusional!

Brothers and sisters while I find the comment repulsive do you not think that it should take the issue up with the poster personaly rather that discussing the matter in open forum? that way we can avoid the thread getting personal.

You're probably right.

It's just sad that someone can be so blind.

I'll see what I can do about closing this thread.

I think that in love there is always some sort of defence for ignorance, however challenging and wrong a statement may be, as in this case about Israel.

But our God of truth is so far greater than what is obviously false that we need not worry too much. however personally offended we may be.

If there's no defence for the statement maybe you can convince me that I'm wrong? If I'm so ignorant maybe you should try to enlighten me instead of condemning me and acting holier-than-thou?

If Israel is the chosen people of God why is the Bible loaded with statements that Christ came for all people, not just the Jews, and that He brought a new covenant? If the Jews are the chosen people what's the point of anyone else confessing Christ?

You claim to be an intelligent person.....look at the size of Israel......now look at all the enemies that surround that country.

They've been trying to wipe that country off the face of the earth since 1948 and no ones been able to do it.

If God isn't protecting that country.......who is?

...that's your argument? Simply because the IDF are highly-trained, professional troops equipped with good weapons and vehicles you think God must be giving them victory over the barely-trained, ill-equipped Arab armies? Seriously?

By that same argument I could say England is under God's protection; look at the size of England and the size of the enemies we've faced, yet never been conquered in a thousand years and rarely beaten in a war... but that would be absurd. We've won our wars because our military is better than the enemies we've fought by and large.
