​Actually there is an encyclopedia of wars and religion is pretty far down the totem pole on reasons for war. Religion of course is man made,a relationship with Christ is different.
All war is for the control of land. Been going on since societies were developed around agriculture.
Religion is sometimes used as a political tool in warfare. Religion is sometimes a pretext to war, but it all comes down to taking the land under it.

Part of your problem seems to be your refusal to acknowledge that their texts explicitly instruct violence.
It's a leftist ideology. Trying to bring muslims into racial politics. Race is something you are born into, and can not change. No one has to believe the koran, that's a choice.

If your father is Muslim, you are automatically considered Muslim, and not allowed the leave "the faith." Hence their high birth rate, and the prohibition of Muslim women marrying outsiders.

I don't, and no one else has to be nothing because of our fathers.

I'm sure you've seen the movie, "NOT WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER," released in 1991? Powerful movie--
Based on a true story, An American mother travels to Iran to meet her husbands family for 2 weeks. But, when they get there, he changes when he is affected by the oppressive religious culture there, and tries to make her stay.
In Iran, they tell her that because she is married to an Iranian citizen, that she is an Iranian citizen as long as she is in Iran.

Absolutely right!

Jerusalem is already the capital of Israel, historically, and spiritually speaking. It always has been, and always will be. Jerusalem is guarded by God Himself:

Indeed, he who watches over Israel
never slumbers or sleeps.5The LORD himself watches over you! (Psalm 121: NLT 4-5)
(Sung by Judaic pilgrims ascending into Jerusalem)

Jerusalem is sacred to Jews, because of how salvation history was revealed to them, and preserved by them, until the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary, the birth of Jesus the Christ, Who is the Son of David, the Son of Man, and the Divine Son of God and Judaic Messiah, without any question, based on the miraculous power and unprecedented truth of the fulfilled Word of God. So, Jerusalem is sacred to Christians also.
This historical significance is confirmed by several thousand years.
Because Jerusalem is protected by Christ Himself, Who said He had all power and authority of Heaven and earth do do so, it is impossible for any religion that directly opposes Him (which would make them an anti-christ religion) to ever prevail in Jerusalem, Israel, or anywhere else.


It's a difficult political decision for sure. Not sure of the timing, but, sooner or later, the capital does need to be moved, I believe. It's a very complex situation.
Or, as the song goes...
"I'ts a sad, sad situation, and it's gettin' more and more absurd..."

Jesus said, "All things are possible with God."

There's a good Messianic Christian song:
"On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen"

A beautiful, sad, song...
Jesus Himself wept, when He saw the gates of Jerusalem...

I have to wonder, If Clinton of Obama did this how many people against it would all of a sudden be for it.

as for the rest.

1. Islam hates the us, They will bomb and kill us no matter what they do. They proved this under obama, who tried everything he could to give them alll he could

2. There will be no peace in the Middle East until christ returns. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to study scripture

3. Trump promised he would do this, the people who voted him in office expected him to do this. So we are not going to attack a president for keeping his promises? That just shows how low this country has gone, I am scared for my country.

You do realize, don't you, that the farther down on a totem pole a figure is depicted, the greater the honor and esteem given to that form?

True.
A lot of people don't know that the totem pole analogy is actually backwards

Read some posts about this on another "Christian" forum this morning, I'd say 95% of them were opposed to anything Israel, like what the crap.

Fake news,on both counts.



Romans 11-
[FONT=&quot]I ask then:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Did God reject his people? [/FONT][FONT=&quot]By no means! [/FONT][FONT=&quot]I am an Israelite myself[/FONT][FONT=&quot], a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]2 [/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]God did not reject his people[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot], whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”[a]?[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT][FONT=&quot]4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[b][/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]5 So too, [/FONT][FONT=&quot]at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT][FONT=&quot]6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened, 8 as it is written:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that could not see
and ears that could not hear,
to this very day.”[/FONT]
[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all!

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and in this way[e] all Israel will be saved. As it is written:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]“The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is[f] my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”[g]


As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, 29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[h] receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.

To your second point,Palestinians are Arabs from surrounding countries.It is nothing more than a political invention to push Israel off the map. Israel sits on 1% of the land in the middle east,to the Arabs even that is too much.The league of nations,10 countries,granted the land to Israel and it is theirs according to international law. The Arabs were offered land and refuse it. Israel is a sovereign country,Palestine is not,therefore it cannot be illegally occupied.[/FONT]

Hello Dude653,

Always remember this, no man can come to Christ except the Father draws him, meaning you did not come of your own accord.

There was a prophecy against Israel through Isaiah which says:

"Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs. For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

He said, “Go and tell this people: “ ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”

Therefore I will say to you what Paul said, do not boast against Israel, for they have become disobedient so that God may have mercy upon them just as we were once disobedient and God had mercy on us Gentiles. And remember, you are saved by grace through faith and not by your own doing.

Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their (Israel's) disobedience, so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you. For God has consigned all men to disobedience, so that He may have mercy on them all.

Regarding Israel, the following is still in operation:

"I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

How would a nation be in violation of international law, when they are not a party to the treaty that establishes said law?

There is no world wide government.

There is international law regarding war crimes.
Israeli-occupied Palestine is very much like African apartheid
Palestinians uprooted from their homes, property seized
It would be like if I moved into your house by force and took over everything.
