Mindless Christianity is for zombies.
Who's really mindless, those who are spoonfed with antisemetic poison from both the left and the right, or those who have critical thinking and seek alternative sources? Those who side with brutal terrorists or those who side with God's chosen people? Any so called "war crime' in Gaza is as much criminal as the "war crime" by the Allied forces in Nazi Germany.
 
That's your delusion.

It's not my delusion because it is written that Israel was dwelling in the land when Christ was there.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! John 1:47

Furthermore, when Jesus sent his disciples he told them to enter only cities of Israel

These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 10:5-6
 
What part of "more than 1000 years away" don't you understand?

Now when the thousand years have expired ...

Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Logic and reason really are a challenge for you
 
That's entirely untrue. God gives us a sound mind, not an irrational one.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

A rational mind concludes that when something is removed and then something else is put in its place, the former thing has been replaced. But an irrational mind that is governed by the thought that replacement is not an acceptable idea is unable to reach the same conclusion and will distort reality to match the irrational conclusion.
The Holy Spirit leads into spiritual truth NOT the rational mind

At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, ‘I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. Luke10:21

But the spirit has to align with scripture, otherwise it is not the holy spirit. It takes a rational mind to put the pieces together to make sure we're following the right spirit. Many Christians think they are following the holy spirit when actually it is the devil's spirit.

It does NOT take the rational mind to understand spiritual truth, you really should know that

Don't confuse being stiff-necked with understanding spiritual truth
‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.’

20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 1Cor1:19-21

Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things – and the things that are not – to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him. 26-29

When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. 1Cor2:1-5

Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become ‘fools’ so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: ‘He catches the wise in their craftiness’ 20 and again, ‘The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile. 1Cor3:18-20

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you for ever – 17 the Spirit of truth John14:17

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. John16:13

What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 1Cor2:12-14

Slightly off topic, but the UN has come out with its report into war crimes by Israel against Palestinian children. It appears that there is much evidence that the Israelis have used toys with bombs inside, to kill children. I find this immensely disturbing.


The Context of the Claims
Unexploded Ordnance (UXO): International humanitarian organizations, including the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), report that the primary threat to children in post-conflict zones comes from unexploded bombs, shells, and cluster munitions buried in rubble. Children are frequently attracted to these objects because they are shiny or round, mistaking them for playthings.

Debunked Media:
Independent fact-checking investigations, have analyzed several viral social media posts claiming to show booby-trapped dolls left by Israeli forces. In multiple instances, the visual evidence used was found to be recycled footage from other conflict zones, such as civil war-era Yemen, or misunderstood military hardware like container fuses rather than actual toys.



 
God's chosen people all believe in Jesus and criticism of modern Israel in not antisemitic.

But that's where it stops.
"New York Democratic Representative Dan Goldman was banned from Poetica Coffee in Brooklyn following a visit to the cafe with his seven-year-old daughter."

Do agree or disagree with what happened and was it Antisemitic, more clearly Anti-Jew?
 
Jesus said we have to drink his blood. How do you understand that?
As I asked you questions you chose not answer concerning a different subject, as it was not the subject of the thread, I will go along with you on that. However, if you wish to answer those three questions, I will then answer yours.

lol OK. No, I'm not interested in answering those questions because I wasn't involved in that discussion, nor do I want to be. So you trying to drag me into it after I made my mind known to you about it is just disingenuous and rude.
