You just cursed Gods people and yourself. Wow Im out

But it goes much deeper than that. If you learn to identify with a lunatic terrorist state like Israel as an expression of God's personality, you are screwed basically.

The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as "the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives"

[h=1]THE BOMBING THAT STARTED IT ALL![/h][h=1]Another Bomb In Jerusalem: 91 DEAD
[/h]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica]July 2, 1946: The King David Hotel in Jerusalem was bombed. Killing 91 people
[/FONT]​
[TABLE="width: 630"]
[TR]
[TD]Menachem Begin planned the destruction of the King David Hotel and the massacre of Deir Yassin. Ex prime minister, Shamir, was originally a member of the Jewish "terrorist" gang called Irgun, which was headed by none other than Menachem Begin. Shamir later moved over to the even more radical "Stern Gang," which committed many vicious atrocities. Shamir himself has defended the various assassinations committed by the Irgun and Stern gangs on the grounds that "it was the only way we could operate, because we were so small. So it was more efficient and more moral to go for selected targets." The selected moral targets in those early days of the founding of the state of Israel included bombing of the King David Hotel and the massacre of Deir Yassin.
April 9, 1948: A combined force of Irgun and Stern Gangs committed a brutal massacre of 260 Arab residents of the village of Deir Yassin. Most of whom were women and children. The Israeli hordes even attacked the dead to satisfy their bestial tendencies. In April, 1954, during Holy Week, and on the eve of Easter, The Christian cemeteries in Haifa were invaded, crosses broken down and trampled under the feet of these miscreants, and the tombs desecrated. The Israeli military conquest, therefore was made against a defenseless people, who had been softened up by such earlier massacres as Deir Yasin {250 Arabs; men, women and children were massacred there}.
The Jew, Weizman, referred to the massacre as this "miraculous simplification of our task" and Ben Gurion said "without Deir Yasin there would be no Israel." Americans are not told that 10% of the Arabs killed by the Israeli's in 1948 were Christian and that 10% of the Arab property confiscated belonged to Christians. Nor are they told the fact that Israel's massacres and military actions forced 100,000 Christians to become refugees.
Accounts by Red Cross and United Nations observers who visited the scene, said that the houses were first set on fire and the occupants were shot down as they came out to escape the flames. One pregnant woman had her baby cut out of her stomach with a knife. Reminiscent of the acts committed by their brother Jews in Russia during and after the Bolshevik {Jewish} take over. The head of the International Red Cross delegation in Palestine, Jacques de Reynier, drove into the village and was met by a detachment of Irgun terrorists. In his report of the massacre the previous night, he wrote: "All of them were young, some even adolescents, men and women armed to the teeth: revolvers, machine-guns, hand-grenades, and knives, most of them still blood-stained. A beautiful young girl with criminal eyes showed me hers {knife} still dripping with blood, she displayed it like a trophy."
May 1948: The U.S. appointed Count Folke Bernadotte of Sweden to mediate between the Arabs and the Israelis. In his first progress report (of Sept. 16, 1948) he recommended that the U.N. should affirm "the right of the Arab refugees to return to their homes in Jewish controlled territory at the earliest possible date." The Israelis responded in their own quiet way. The following day Bernadotte was murdered in Jerusalem.
The spectacular assassination which caused an International outcry was claimed, the, by an unknown "Fatherland Front," but that was a cover for Shamir's Stern Gang. Yoshua Zeitler and Meshlam Markover of Stern told Israeli Television earlier this year {1989} that, they respectively directed and led the operation that killed the Swedish diplomat and his French aid-de-camp. Zeitler, 71, said he decided to speak now because of fear that the U.N. and the "goyim" {non-Jews} are again trying to force Israel into concessions.
February 1949: Israel launched an offensive across the Armistice lines with Egypt which brought its forces to the Gulf of Aqaba, occupying the Palestinian police post of Umm Rashrash which they afterwards named Eilat.
1950: Israelis seized the Al-Uja de-militarized zone on the Egyptian side and Baqqara on the Syrian side, expelling their Arab inhabitants and razed their homes to the ground by bulldozers.
1950-1955: Israeli forces unleashed more than 40 acts of armed aggressions against Arab states, almost all causing a heavy loss of life. This included attacks and massacres in Qibya, Huleh 1953, Nahalin, Kfar Qassem in 1954, Gaza and a Syrian outpost on Lake Tiberias in 1955.
October 14-15, 1953 -- Under the command of Ariel Sharon, Israeli squads attacked the unarmed Arab village of Qibya in the demilitarized one. Where they blew up 42 houses and killed more than sixty residents who were trapped inside. The details were so gruesome that the U.S. joined in a U.N. condemnation of the Israeli action, and for the first and only time, suspended aid to Israel in reprisal.
July 1954: Israeli intelligence planted "a ring of spies (Moles)" in Cairo, its task was to begin sabotage operations against selected Egyptian, British and American targets...On July 14, the Alexandria post office was fire-bombed and the U.S. Information Agency offices in Cairo and Alexandria were damaged by fire started by phosphorous incendiary devices, as was a British-owned theater.
Members of the spy ring were caught, and they confessed. They had been planted by Modin, the Israeli military intelligence organization. The purpose, presumably, was to sabotage Egyptian relations with the U.S. and Britain. Various commissions of inquiry into the affair conducted in Israel were never able to decide whether or not Israeli Defense Minister Pinchon Lavon authorized the operation.

The problem with this is that you are committing Idolatry.

Worshipping the Jews, (and the law).

I am afraid the penalty for this will be very severe, insofar as eventually a load of deluded Christians will gather in Jerusalem for some high day or holiday, and what happened in AD 67 will repeat.

You really don't want to be part of that delusion young lady.

Having seen this thread and its counterpart, I would offer these two thoughts: I can see the point of studying the issue and seeing what the Scripture says. Also, I would ask why people get dogmatic about it? It doesn't appear to be a primary issue. :)
I think both thread titles can be true. It depends on which meaning of the word "Israel" is meant.

So many fights are not needed, the proper definition of terms is needed, though.

You can look at our 7 meanings (or how many) we agreed above.
ok,I'll try

Israel was the 12 tribes called out by God to be separate, holy, and unusual, whose calling was to be as Priests to the rest of the World. When Christ came, those who were not iniquitous and who rather accepted their salvation, fulfilled their calling as Israel, and became known as the Church.

What I am saying is, that its needed to define the word Israel, before we can discuss if it is Church or not etc.

Because many people have different idea what Israel is. And there are also many meanings of the word.

So for example I can agree with the thread "Israel is not the Church and the Church is not Israel" when I will say that "Israel" here means the physical land on the map :)

Even with these two only we can make both thread titles true.

Now hold on here, Demi has done no such thing. she doesn't worship the jews and the law and I would appreciate it if you would not make false accusations like that. Demi is far more wise and mature in faith than most people I have ever met and one of the last people to fall for a delusion like that I think you could take a few notes from this( young lady)

Its not! There are just people here that are anti-semitic. As Golda Meir said "Peace will come when Arabs love their children more than they hate us." Its not Israel tunneling underground to pop up in back yards of Palestinians. Meir also said "When peace come, perhaps, in time we will be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons"

Israel sits on 1% of the land in the middle east. They have given land for peace before. They want to live in peace but the Arabs will never let them.

Sorry but that definition is not Israel and I will stand with Israel regardless if you think if it's a terrorist state.
