This November 2 is the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, sent from Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Rothschild, a leader of the British Jewish community:
"Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours, Arthur James Balfour"

I didn’t miss it! :-)
And later, Lord Balfour. Lord Balfour is from the Cecil family (as is Winston Churchill.)
Thanks for posting.
I missed it.
T. E. Lawrence had some influence in getting this implemented.
A disaster. And millions of Christians think the pro-abortion, socialist, atheist modern State of Israel has something to do with the Bible. Thanks to the deadly “Scofield Bible.”
That’s because only after the bones, flesh, and skin develop does God breathe life into them. Ezek 37 This is occurring and will ultimately be confirmed per Jer. 33 and Matt 24 and many more passages. To call God’s plan’s and promises for Israel as a people and a nation a disaster is more like faithlessness. Plenty of people have believed these promises found in both the Old and New Covenant before Scofield and without picking up a Scofield Bible. One could make the argument that all forms of replacement theology have influenced Church tradition and thought since the early church fathers erroneous interpretations and hermeneutics.
Daniel's list is a whole lot longer that that. Only his understanding is altogether different:
16. O Lord, according to all your righteousness, I pray you, let your anger and your fury be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a reproach to all those who are around us:
17. Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face to shine upon your sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake:
18. O my God, incline your ear, and hear; open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by your name; for we do not present our supplications before you for our righteousness, but for your great mercy:
19. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, listen and do; do not delay, for your own sake, O my God; for your city and your people are called by your name:
The State of Israel is a miracle.
You sound like a member of the Keepers of Odd Knowledge.

This will explain most of it. It’s a 3 part podcast. Pretty interesting.
Maybe the worst diplomatic decision of the last 1000 years. It was a puny and cowardly dismissal of the lives of millions of people - a truly awful thing.
>>The State of Israel is a miracle.
Would Korah be the state-establishment’s treasurer again if he was alive?

Wow...That Chapter was in my “Daily Eight” Today.
God’s promises are still valid and in effect regardless of your opinion of the Jews and Israel.
Did Catholic seminaries not teach Bibile to their up and coming priests?
I’ll take Who’s looking to take a time out? for 500.
“And millions of Christians think the pro-abortion, socialist, atheist modern State of Israel has something to do with the Bible. Thanks to the deadly “Scofield Bible.”
Those who read any Bible know Israel’s existence today is important in end times history.
Those who deny this do not know the Scriptures.
Have you ever read Scofield’s notes??
“Did Catholic seminaries not teach Bibile to their up and coming priests?”
I surveyed the course requirements at three leading Catholic seminaries.
The answer to your question is, no, they require almost no training in Bible, Bible study, etc.
This explains what you see on this thread.
The answer to your question is, no, they require almost no training in Bible, Bible study, etc.
But hey...they can do the liturgy in Latin!
Sadly, they also neglect the Greek and the Hebrew.
The lack of exegetical training among Roman Catholics is glaring. Some have it but most do not.
Has God's promise to Abraham in Genesis been negated in Roman Catholicism?
