And in other news for you to peruse:

As you said it's irrelavent to this thread but since you brought it up one might as well look at these:

Catholic View on Palestine

The Catholic Register: Socially ethical investing taking off, Canadian study reports

I wouldn't knock the problems Presbyterians are having when the Vatican is having the same issues. Some of the more conservative Presbyterians have broken away from the PCUSA over their liberalism. The same can't be said for the Catholics.

It's interesting how these links never lead to an actual source document that has any meaning.

For example, the Synod on the Middle East issued an official report with 44 propositions. Not once does that document make the claim that the Jews are not the chosen people - which stands to reason, since the Church's official Catechism affirms in paragraph 60 that the Jews are indeed the chosen people.

The article on which this thread is based is an official publication of the SBC leadership and represents itself as the normative position of the SBC, hence the controversy.

Similarly, the official teaching of the PCUSA is one of antipathy to Israel and support of libertinism.

People do not separate from groups like the PCUSA because some individual members and congregations are liberal, but because the leadership's official teaching is liberal.

err.. go to post 9 by tsgt, and then read my post in light of that. Note that I said But that's irrelevant to the topic of this thread, just as your post is irrelvent. the "your post" was referring to Tsgt's of course which was as completely off topic as my response and your response to my response.
