"pete9, If you have read and studied your Bible the way God wants you to, you would know the answers to the above questions."
Some people here love passive aggressive attacks. If you won't be a Judaizer, then you're not following the way of Jesus, they say. Now this one suggests that I haven't read and studied the Bible the way God wants.. It would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.
"I would send you to Genesis 12:1-4, where Abram (Abraham later) was told that He (God) would Bless those who stood by Israel and Curse those who did not? Now what is your answer?"
My answer is to turn off "Bible radio" or whatever media it is that forces adoration and worship of those people down your throat.
It may have..slipped your mind..that those verses did not contain the word "Israel", and that it referred to Abraham. Who was a man. Now, if you want to say that he was referring to his offsprings, you may or may not recall that Abraham was also the father of Ishmael. And so I think you'd better start blessing those Arabs instead of all that hating if you know what's good for you!
