No thats a lame excuse to reject the truth, because you been deceived. May God open your eyes b4 His return !

No, that's looking at the entire Bible and history. Are the Jews all living in the entire land that God promised them from that time to this? Never to be uprooted again? No, that did not happen. All you have to do is read the borders the Bible set and see that the entire amount of land was not possessed and they certainly were uprooted again. So either you're misunderstanding or the Bible is wrong.
 
There is no nation of Palestine. The Arabs living on Israel are called Israelis, just like the same ethnic Arabs living in Jordan are called Jordanians.

Jordan was a created..... drawn by a few men with a pen after WW 1
 
The Arabs living in the occupied territories ARE Palestinians, not Israelis.

Seems to me if there are Palestine Passports then there are Palestinians.

Make no mistake this is just a straw man to once again justify occupation.

Never to be uprooted again-> after Jesus 2nd coming, they fully repent. Correct.
Until they repent, they are rebellious, not entitled to that land.

That poses a problem then, since there are in the land.
Along with the fact the land was fulfilled in Christ Jesus for all believers, He being the better country spoken of in Hebrews.

It is your misunderstanding of the Bible that is truly the problem. Hopefully, you will seriously consider what I said to you in my last response.

“I will send my terror before you, and will throw into confusion all the people against whom you shall come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out Hivite, Canaanite, and Hittite from before you. I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the wild beasts multiply against you. Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you are increased and possess the land.” (Exod 23:27-30, RSV)

“Thus the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers; and having taken possession of it, they settled there. And the LORD gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their fathers; not one of all their enemies had withstood them, for the LORD had given all their enemies into their hands. Not one of all the good promises which the LORD had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.” (Josh 21:43-45, RSV)

“And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God promised concerning you; all have come to pass for you, not one of them has failed. But just as all the good things which the LORD your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so the LORD will bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you, if you transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them. Then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.” (Josh 23:14-16, RSV)

“Judah and Israel were as many as the sand by the sea; they ate and drank and were happy. Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphra′tes to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt; they brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.” (1Kgs 4:20-21, RSV)

“Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his mind.” (2Chr 9:22-23, RSV)

“And thou didst give them kingdoms and peoples, and didst allot to them every corner; so they took possession of the land of Sihon king of Heshbon and the land of Og king of Bashan. Thou didst multiply their descendants as the stars of heaven, and thou didst bring them into the land which thou hadst told their fathers to enter and possess. So the descendants went in and possessed the land, and thou didst subdue before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and didst give them into their hands, with their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would.” (Neh 9:22-24, RSV)

These words are so clear and emphatic, I must believe that Israel possessed all the land given to them! Any references that seem contradictory must be seen in their context and perspective. I will believe God rather than men!

Its no way around it, I have given you bible showing the Land promise have been fulfilled and you denying it. You calling the bible wrong.
 
Palestinians not an ethnic group?

Great!

Perhaps they will fulfill what Moses said:

But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says:
"I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation,
I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”


Imagine what the Jews will think when the Palestinians are accepted by God, in Christ, before them!

Correct, because no one can claim that land according to Bible right now, then go by 10 commandments, thou shall not steal, murder, covet....

All id under God's sovereign plan, including Jesus crucifixion, and resurrection. But God will hold His people accountable.

Like I keep saving, God do not need us to nail Him to the cross. And if we do and still claim to be His people, He will hold us accountable.

We can't commit murdering / raping at the same time claiming we obey God.
 
John 3
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Galatians 4
22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

From-Galatians4-22-24plus28-29and5-1s.png

From Galatians 4 v 22-24 plus 28-29 and 5 v 1 Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born through the promise. These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery. We, like Isaac, are children of promise. The son born by the flesh persecuted the son born by the Spirit. It is the same now. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.

Wonderful 👏 true blessing is telling them to repent and receive Jesus.

Acts 3:25-26​

25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
 
More witness that the dispensationalists have it wrong. Here Peter says all of the prophets foretold the time in which he was living (these days), not 2000 years into the future. Which means they foretold the restoration of the believing elect remnant of Israel in Christ, that began then and has continued unabated. The prophets were not prophesying about the restoration of a worldly nation in unbelief.

Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Acts 3:24
