Why do so many Christians want US taxes to support a Jewish homeland in Israel? Galatians 3:28 says “There is neither Jew nor Gentile,... for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” If we are all one in Christ, why use US taxes to create a homeland just for Jews?

I agree we should not curse the children of Abraham, and we should love them as we love all our neighbors. There are lots of Christian and Jewish neighbors we love that we don't give 3 Billion US tax dollars to every year. Why is it our Israel neighbors who should solely get the 3 Billion US tax dollars every year?

Sounds like everyone is opposed to US foreign aid to Arab countries, no surprise there. I would still like to understand why so many Christian support foreign aid to Israel. I am reading that Israel gets more US foreign aid than any other country, over THREE BILLION DOLLARS in 2012 alone! The article I am reading says the main reason is US Christian voters who feel the funding is needed for dispensationalism. I don’t understand why dispensationalism would create this US funding need, can anyone explain it to me?
Greed and fear. They think they get Abrahams blessing and that blessing Isreal is blessing Abraham.
Even tho Christ brought us that Blessing....but who reads Galations anyway?

Fear because they were told anyone who disses on Israel will be dissed by God.....even tho Jesus
left their house desolate....but then who reads what Jesus says?

The irony is: since 1948 our country has not had a blessing...look at the stats...oh my!

Why should we give Egypt 1 Billion a year as we currently do. Why do we give the oil rich Saudis foreign aid. Money does not buy you love. Our GOV can't understand that. We have cities going bankrupt right here at home yet we give billions to countries that use that money to try and kill us. We are very smart people, right. What has Israel done to us? They certainly haven't tried kill us or dealt deceitfully as all the other countries we give to. So why the uproar against Israel. It must be a spiritual thing as far as I can figure. Our GOV rejects anything that resembles GOD.

So your interpretation that Jews and Arabs both children of Abraham should not be cursed ?

I think we established early on that no one was in favor of U.S. foreign aid to Arab countries. The only question I have is "Given we all agree there should be no U.S. foreign aid to Arab countries, should we get rid of U.S. foreign aid to Israel as well?"

Taxes???? Stop being held down by our own imaginations! All burdens of the people should cease, but we still try our best to hold on to the past.

How about something new. We STOP ALL FIGHTING PERIOD, BY GIVING THEM HOUSING, FOOD, CLOTHING, AND TO BUILD THEIR INFRSTRUCTURE.

For this, I would work for FREE!

some interesting questions. which raise more questions.
i wonder if there's an answer.


Why should we give Egypt 1 Billion a year as we currently do.

good question.
have you looked for the answer yet?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamal_Abdel_Nasser < click

Why do we give the oil rich Saudis foreign aid.

another good question.
why would the world's superpower currently engaged in a War on Terror (the Clash of Civilizations; against "Radical Islam") be partners with the most repressive; corrupt and 'backward' (FAKE ISLAMIC) dynastic family on earth?
who is the region's greatest arms dealer and money launderer?
why do they have carte blanche to continue untouched?
who was flown out of the US on 9-11, while every other person sat grounded wherever NORAD landed their planes in the unprecedented and fascist command to take over the planet's air space - the command that came just a little too late?

who are the Sauds?

who is the "WE" that is giving the Saudis money?
you? or the people calling the shots in your govt.
is your govt truly American?
why does it keep making policy decisions that are destroying the nation?
how perplexing.


Money does not buy you love. Our GOV can't understand that.

your govt is not interested in your safety or security or well being.
your govt is now an unelected globalist cabal who hates you.
your govt is not american any more.
your govt understands very well what money is buying.
love has nothing to do with it.


We have cities going bankrupt right here at home

right on schedule.
how perplexing.
all that labor and wealth from american industry gone.
where did it go?
where did all the treasure go?
wasn't it all off-shored and sent away?
didn't it vanish into a technological black hole 5 years ago?
that was just a hint of what's coming.
how could this happen?
is it just accounting blunders?

can any nation borrow money for its national (and international) responsibilities and operations from a privately owned banking system who prints and lends "money" to that govt with compound interest, having used the citizens themselves as collateral (chattel), and NOT go bankrupt - with the chattel then paying out the debt through slavery?

was this accidental?

is there anything in history that shows this system of warfare and dominion through usury already at work?
did anyone warn about it?


yet we give billions to countries that use that money to try and kill us.

isn't that confusing?
i wonder why a government of the people, by the people, for the people would be against the people?
exactly when did a Constitutional Republic become a Liberal Democracy?
how did that happen?

and when did the Executive Branch (which is no longer american, nor is it for 'the people') receive power to bypass all other branches of the (non) existent govt?

wasn't that when the DHS (for the Motherland) established?
what is the Patriot Acts? is it for patriots? or against them?

how can a bankrupt nation which has no more treasure continue to find money - borrowed at compound interest from private persons - then turn around and give that "money" to nations and persons who are trying to kill you?

is that an accident?
i wonder if there are any answers.
maybe just never-ending questions and perplexity.
always looking in the wrong place

And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds between thine arms? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends

The only thing a Christian would have to give up is there imaginations holding them down. There are millions of homes for the poor to choose from. We can save millions of lives!

Alone, my voice is but a cry, but together our voices can become a movement.

I cannot do this alone. I need the army of the Lord.

well, you were already here once saying the same stuff.
we all (or some of us did) said your plan won't work.

you can't use services and not pay for them, and you can't squat in foreclosed homes, no matter how corrupt the system is that made them that way.

you have to go to work to get your pay.
anyways....you're still funny.

DId you not read my post which pointed out that the "Aid" sent to Israel goes mostly on weapons research and development, in turn most of this money is promptly handed over to US based and owned companies.

could i see weapons being part of the Christian mandate/commission?
since when is it a good thing for Christians to rubber stamp WMD for unbelievers at war with each other because they do not understand the PROMISE?

I'm only funny until the money fails. Now according to the system, it is squatting when according to the heart, it is giving a house away to one who needs it. But I ask you, Zone. Who made the system we live by? Surely if we made it, we can make a better one.

Pharaoh told Moses the same thing, that if they wanted a house, then to work harder for one! But c'mon Zone, even you will not be here a hundred years from now! Those houses will though! We worked hard enough for 6,000 years. Let the people go.

i don't even know what to say to this.
you don't know anything about who God said are his people.
The issue ISN'T about who God's people are or are not. The issue is God pointing out
the Jews, the tribes, the nation and saying, "You bless them and I will bless you.
You curse them and I will curse you." It is still valid. You can argue who you "think" is
God's people....all day long. But how you treat Jews is another subject. Even if you think
the Jews have no more place in history and that the church took their place, God didn't
put an expiration date on His promise concerning blessing/cursing, the Jews. Its still
valid. He specifically pointed them out. And God will carry through with it.
