I don’t begrudge anyone their religious beliefs. But there are many interpretations of scripture, and if we’re going to argue interpretations, this forum is ill equipped for it. For one, the only language everyone understands is English, and the Bible is written in Hebrew and Aramaic, and has important translations in Latin and Greek, and even if we all understood Hebrew, we don’t have fonts that account for vowels and cantilation. So how do we discuss texts? There is the Christian interpretation, and the Jewish, and that is the context under which religion gets involved in a political discussion. All well and good if you want to discuss who is the rightful owner of the land. But if you want to start discussing who’s the Messiah, that’s entirely removed from any political discussion. Render unto Freep that which is Freep’s. This topic is not of this board.
So you didn’t ask familop why he brought religion into it? That’s fine you’ve made your point, and you’ve made your point of view known...this isn’t a messiah friendly thread when it comes to Israel. I’ll go away now!
