What does it say about people who find issue with the simple statement "Jesus wants to save Palestinians?"
If it had said Jesus wants to save Americans, or Canadians, or Australians, there wouldn't be such a strong reaction.
I think the presence of such a reaction, indicates something very dark within some Christians.
The statement that Jesus wants to save Palestinians shouldn't provoke these types of dark feelings such as are being expressed in this thread.

I think the subtext of some of the responses in this thread, is that some Christians are hostile to the concept of Palestinians being loved by and saved by Jesus. If people are comfy with this concept, then why such a strong negative reaction to it? The answer to that question is that some aren't comfortable with the idea. And if Christians aren't happy/joyful with this idea, then they don't have the same desires and heart as Jesus.

I respect the fact that he has the courage, and other items necessary to serve in that capacity. I know, that I myself though a relatively healthy young lad would not last through boot camp.
It is the nationalism that purposes to make the Gospel serve national interests, rather than God's glory that bothers me.

"If one is wrong here?"
Everyone was wrong here!
This was a friggin' disgrace!
The Shia's and the Sunni's had more peace than what went on here!
This was a bloodbath in the Name of Christ.
We need to show each other more grace, because if we don't it WILL be required of us.
We think this is fun? Wait until all of our words will be required of us.
We need to step back and reevaluate how we deal with each other, - (because it will be required of us).

I'm kind of half way to being a Calvinist. Like George Whitfield, the great evangelist that help start the Great Awakening in Britain and the British Colonies (Read USA) and who was a Calvinist, I still see the need to preach the gospel. Because like it or not, it is in the Bible, and hyper-Calvinist do not have the last say.
"For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. [SUP]13 [/SUP]For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”[SUP]14 [/SUP]How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? [SUP]15 [/SUP]And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” [SUP]16 [/SUP]But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” [SUP]17 [/SUP]So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." Romans 10:12-17
Which does bring us back to the topic of this thread. We do need to take the gospel to the Palestinians, as well as the Jews. Because there is no Plan B for the Jews!
I do believe God is in control, just to clarify!
