I have children 90 miles from the gaza strip.
That is a sobering thought. Before I even realized that I was thinking what if the whole creation of Israel thing in 48 or whenever it was was the work of the devil to distract christians from doing what christians are supposed to be doing -Advancing the Kingdom of God. How much of our money goes to support a nation of unbelievers? since when are unbelievers the chosen of God? the New Testament is replete with verses that tell us that just because you are a natural born Jew doesn't mean that you are one of the chosen few. the church is Israel now. More than likely there will be just as many jews in hell proportionately as any other nation on this planet.
Israel the modern nation was created by bad theology and guilt.
The bad theology is called dispensationalism which developed in the late 1800's out of the plymouth bretheren movement with the addition of a few prophecies by some lady whose name I can't remember and John Darby.
The guilt came from the horrible treatment of Germany after world war one which directly led to the rise of Hitler and ultimately the Holocaust. So if your stupidity causes several million people to die in ovens then just steal some land from some unrelated people in the middle east and give it to their sworn enemies. sounds like a simple plan to me.
When will the church stop supporting atheists and unbelievers in the hopes of speeding the return of Jesus who is more than likely just going to say depart from me I never knew you to most of them?
There I got it out of my system.

we just had an interesting conversation with our palestinian tutor and her samaritan husband about the whole israel thing...they have no idea why so many people in america are diluted in their thinking. it is clear to them that we (followers of jesus) are the chosen ones. you don't get a good perspective on these things until you talk with people from these places of persecution. its a ridiculous, yet real, problem.
