Put positively: other than the Israel Defense Forces, America's Christian Zionists may be the Jewish state's ultimate strategic asset.

Israel's most ardent supporter is the Lord in heaven.

Joel 2:32 - And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has said, among the survivors whom the LORD calls.

In contrast, Christian Zionism has nearly died out in Great Britain

Is this because of the Muslim influence?

The Jews are Christ's chosen people. If one loves Christ, one must defend the Jews.

Shalom!

SENTINEL,

Your post # 8...

"The Jews are Christ's chosen people. If one loves Christ, one must defend the Jews."

Toda Rabbah...Thank You Greatly for Your LOVE and Support of Israel and the Jewish People!

This cannot be stated ENOUGH!

Who ever Hates the Jewish People and The Holy Land of ISRAEL will one Day...on that Great DAY of The LORD stand before His Throne and Give a Full Account of their SINS and anti-Jewish behavior to YESHUA Ha Moshiach: The King of the Jews!

YESHUA/Jesus The Christ is The KING of King's and The LORD of Lord's!

And I Pray that that Day is coming Soon and very Soon!

Baruch HaShem...Bless The Name [of The LORD!]

Amen and Amen.

Christian support for the creation of a Jewish state originated in England, becoming a significant movement in the Victorian period.

Hmmm, that coincides with the beginning of the circumcision movement in English speaking countries.

>>>In the United States, circumcision rates remain high at between 50 - 75 per cent.33 It has been estimated that between 75 per cent34 and 85 per cent of the world's male population are not and will not be circumcised.35 In most European countries circumcision is not a routine approved procedure.

Are you calling The LORD JESUS CHRIST a...Racist?!

Please Go and purchase a BIBLE...and then READ IT!

Your comment should not be addressed to me.

Take it to The LORD...The Holy One of ISRAEL.

"So I guess Christianity is a somewhat racist religion if the Jews must be given special treatment and priority over all other races?"

Gee, you've got us pegged---were all racist rednecks because we support a democracy in the middle east.

I love it when people show their ass on this issue---good job, newbie.

Ezekiel 37

One Kingdom, One King

15 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 16"As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: "For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.' Then take another stick and write on it, "For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.' 17Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.
18"And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, "Will you not show us what you mean by these?'-- 19say to them, "Thus says the Lord GOD: "Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand."' 20And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
21"Then say to them, "Thus says the Lord GOD: "Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. 23They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
24"David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. 25Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children's children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. 26Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 28The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.""'


Here we go...

Don't be silly, God made a promise to Abraham regarding his decendents. We honor that promise.

It has nothing to do with how deserving or how good the members of that race are. They aren't even a race I don't suppose, they are called out. Often they have not lived up to their calling. But I can't think of anyone that has lived up to their calling completely. It has more to do with keeping God's word and honoring the fact that He chose this people to send Christ through. He made promises to them, we honor and uphold those promises, and will do nothing to undermine them.
