This indicates the sort of injustice we should be concerned about.

 

But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.Mat. 9:13

 

 

 

The Australian report can be viewed here. I dare you Zionists to watch it & not be grieved at the injustice perpetrated with YOUR approval.

The New Covenant deals with individuals, not nations. Christians are called to show love and kindness to all. We should have compassion towards anyone who is suffering or in need. Scripture calls us, as Christians (not nations) to help the poor, widowed, orphaned, etc. Sadly, we do precious little of that among those we live near and we are incapable of helping everyone in every part of the world.

 

There is no nation that does righteously. Every nation commits injustice to some. Christians have and do support many injustices their own nations and others have and do commit. That's wrong, but it's a fact.

 

Israeli injustices are no worse or better than those committed by the Americans, Brits, Chinese, Russians, Egyptians, Syrians, Argentinians, Koreans, Germans, Japanese or others.

 

We should help those we can, pray for others and trust God for His will shall prevail.

I'm not familiar with "Squirrel Hill" in Pittsburgh.  We were members of a liberal Reform Jewish temple, Temple Emanuel.  My mother took my grandmother (her mother) just one time to Friday night Sabbath services and she (my grandma) made such a fuss about them lighting the Sabbath candles after sundown that my mother never took her there again...LOL.  The HS I attended (Cleveland Heights High) was 85-90% Jewish and I think the rest of the students were Roman Catholics.  The school basically "emptied out" on Rosh Hashanna and Yom Kippur.

 

It wasn't until after I got married and moved to Colorado that I got saved through the witness of my born again Gentile Christian neighbor lady.  It will be 40 years on March 1st since I trusted Christ as my Lord and Savior. 

 

There is a Jewish deli in "Squirrel Hill" that makes the most delicious chocolate cheesecake that I have ever tasted.  We were going to visit last week, when we visited our friends outside of Marietta, OH, but is was snowing too severely.  I know exactly where Temple Emanuel is, Linda.  A Jewish man that I used to teach with belongs there with his wife.  I haven't spoke to him for years, though.  I sent a couple of gospel tracts in the mail to him, and not one word from him since.  ;)  LOL  about your grandma.  Cleveland Heights High School is very big.  It has an awesome reputation.  Friends from my 20's graduated from there.  I was friends with Roman Catholics and Jews in my 20's.  I went to a Conservative Jewish wedding when I was 22.  I remember dancing the Hava Nagila at the reception.  The rabbi told me that I could dance better than all the Jewish women there.  I learned how to dance the Hava Nagila in Social Dancing class, in public school, in the 5th grade.  It was my favorite dance.  

Praise the Lord for the women who led you to Christ in Colorado!  Congratulations on your spiritual birthday.  You and Ron are a wealth of information on OB.

Simply because one believes in Replacement Theology doesn't mean they are a Jew hater. I do know that some are, but also that many are not.

 

One doesn't have to accept or support everything an Israeli official says or does in order to bless Jews any more than one has to support everything Obama says or does in order to bless Americans.

 

Like all nations, Israel has a godless, corrupt government. Sometimes they make some good decisions, oftentimes they don't.

 

So long as they don't try to drag America into it, I don't care what the Israeli government decides to do; that's between them and their citizens. If Israel wants to launch a program to eliminate and drive away every Arab from the West Bank and Gaza, if they do so without involving America, that's their business. The same if they decide to toss open their borders to those on the West Bank and in Gaza. Israel should do what they think best for their own selves and do so of their own accord.

 

That isn't why I say that they don't like Jews, John.  It is very evident to me and many others that they don't through posts they make.  

All governments are corrupt.  As Dr. Ach said, there is not one godly country in the world.  

Israel wants to separate themselves from the USA.  It is not their fault that the USA keeps getting involved in the affairs of the Jews and Israel.  Our government needs to remove themselves from Israel's business.  I agree with you on that.

If you are going to say I'm not a Jew, and Israel is not really Israel simply because of the actions of others in the land, then we can rightly say that NOBODY is a Christian, and that there really is no such thing as the church, because Christians have perpetrated some of the most vile acts against women and children known to man, including those among our own fundamental Baptist denominations.

 

And so ironic how many of those articles came from Al Jazeera and their other networks. Whoever said you read too much Al Jazeera earlier apparently had no idea just how right they were.

Well, I have just finished my study on Romans 11 and after looking at the cross references that Paul makes, three things are apparent to me:
1. Those who jump at the word "election" in this passage have no idea of context, nor of the use of the word. One passage that Paul references uses the word election in regard to Christ, setting Paul's meaning for election there as the same as Isaiah's usage.

2. God has not cast away Israel. Israel has not fallen to where they can not get up, but only stumbled on the track and fallen to the ground. He will graft in the natural branches again. He has not repented of His calling of that nation.

3. Salvation according to Isaiah and David was by belief in Messiah, and Paul says it still is.

Praise God that He cast aside the nation so that salvation could be offered to the Gentiles, and praise God that salvation was, is, and shall be by believing on Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

I have enjoyed reading, studying, cross referencing, and dwelling upon Romans 11.

By the way Four Corners in Australia is definitely a biased program, often using sensationalism and contentious subjects to gain ratings.

For instance, in matters of religion, they will defend the muslims and be against Christians, they are pro women's rights, pro abortion, pro feminism.

They are a sensationalist program with political alignment and will pay for interviews if it will get them ratings.

I am not all surprised at their report perspective, but as they have a solid reputation of bias for their own views, I would doubt very much that in this case they have made a balanced report.

I am an Aussie for those who don't know, so I am not just making this up.

Yep!  Screaming, "Death to Amerika!"  They refer to the USA as the "Big Satan" and Israel as the "Little Satan."  Arab nations often call us "The United Snakes of America" as well.

I will trust a Jew over an Arab any day of the week.  Are there angry Jews in the world?  Of course.  However, the world is filled with ignorant Christians, too.

Israel - Some Historical Reminders

Dave Hunt

April 1 1991

 

The war in the Gulf has ended much as expected. Thankfully, the end came swiftly to limit the loss of life on both sides. The Gulf region and the entire Arab world will never again be the same. The painful process ahead will bring new stability and hopes of peace—giant steps toward the new world order. Pressure will increase upon Israel to give the Palestinians independence, forging a new Middle East "peace" that will ultimately be guaranteed by Antichrist, whom Israel will embrace as her Messiah. We dealt with this aspect in Global Peace and the Rise of Antichrist .

 

President Bush and the Coalition have been repeatedly accused of partiality for enforcing UN Resolution 660 demanding Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait, while not enforcing Resolution 242, which demands withdrawal of Israel from occupied Palestine. Unmentioned has been the fact that 242 also declares Israel's right to exist behind secure borders—a right which Arabs reject. Moreover, most of the world seems willfully blind to how and why Israel came to possess its occupied territories. Those facts are essential.

 

Hitler's murder of 6 million Jews and the postwar murders of those who tried to return to their prewar homes set the stage for the birth of Israel. (In Kelsa, Poland, for example, 200 survivors of the original 25,000 community were attacked—76 were killed—by townspeople who refused to give back homes the Jews had owned before being taken to death camps.) Moved by the plight of hundreds of thousands of Jewish holocaust survivors who had nowhere to live, the UN voted in November, 1947, to partition Palestine—about 18 percent to be a Jewish homeland and the other 82 percent for Palestinian Arabs.

 

After the British withdrew on May 14, 1948, overwhelming forces from five Arab nations attacked to drive the Jews into the Mediterranean. Egypt's King Farouk declared, "I cannot and will not tolerate a Zionist state in the Middle East." The Arabs openly announced in 1948—and have continued to proclaim ever since—their determination to exterminate the Palestinian Jews.

On February 21st and 22nd, Multnomah University (formerly called Multnomah School of the Bible) in Portland, Oregon, once considered a biblically-based evangelical school, will be hosting the simulcast Justice Conference with speakers Lynn Hybels and Jim Wallis...

 

Wallis is a Communist and a wolf in sheep's clothing.  He has never repudiated communism/socialism nor apologized for spying and working for the Soviet Union to the detriment of America.  He's a Red Bear wearing a clergy collar, a lost man in need of the Gospel.
