With the tension around Israel what should Christians be doing.
Christians are the Israel of God. The present atheistic jews are no different from other atheists. A jew without Christ is no different from anyone else without Christ.
Certainly we have a great deal to thank the jews for. We can hope and pray that they will be converted and we should do so.
We should love the jews, but this does not extend to justifying them in their atrocities and state sponsored terrorism.
Modern Israel, as religious jews know, is nothing more than a man made attempt to do God’s work. The modern state of Israel is an a disgrace. Uncritical support from the US has had a corrupting influence. Israel does not seek a peaceful settlement with the Palestinians, it acts illegally and immorally in its inhumane treatment of the indigenous population, its settlement building and its use of a highly trained military to collectively punish a civilian population.
Christians would benefit enormously from reading a few histories about modern Israel and the zionist movement, since the 19th century.
If we think God will endorse evil, simply because jews are involved, forget it! God loves justice and does not show favouritism.
US support for Israel and the abandonment of any attempt to act as an honest broker is a shame on the US. It is a demonstration that rich American jews have corrupted the political process and greatly diminished the chances of peace and justice.
That Trump is an utter buffoon on the subject of Israel as in everything else should be obvious.
God gave the ancient jews the land of palestine as a perpetual possession. They lost the land for nearly 2000 years. It will be restored to them by God. The present Israeli state has no part in this.
