I agree
Then why are you so political?
I agree
I will bring the verses to support my claim.
You didn't read the whole story yet. Did you find your way to Hosea? Also, have you managed to do a study on the word Zion?
Also, you continually ignore Joel 3:2
Tell me your opinions once you've pieced together the whole story with the ENTIRE Bible.
Why do you believe Hebrew scriptures support today's Godless Israel
EE,
You say you support Israel. This position is political.
Jesus says His followers are not of the world. Politics are of the world.
You are taking side. Christians are supposed to be neutral.
This is why I am anti-military for His followers. Military take side.
Jesus is for the whole world, not just for His followers or Jewish nation.
I will bring the verses to support my claim.
here they are:
Here is what Jesus has to say:Luke 6:27-36 King James Version)
27But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32For if ye love them which love you what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34And if ye to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Fatheralso is merciful.
and some more:
Matthew 26:52
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm."
John 18:36
And His faithful disciple harmonize with Jesus' word:
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 corinthian 10:4-5)
Romans 12:17-21
17Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. 20Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
II Corinthians 10:3,4
"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds."
Ephesians 6:12
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."
I now point out that @Nang, @Crucible, @beloved57, @Nanja are some of your most prolific disciples. I would like you to count how many times they condemn other users to Hell for not agreeing with Calvin's institutes.
I've never condemned anyone to Hell ever, but many posters have insinuated such toward me. That's something of the Dispensationalist crowd, really, some of them can't even begin a conversation without a headline reading that someone is a demon
But it never bothered me at all, because that's a common thing among zealots. It's just part of dealing with others.
And
Some of the posters you're listing are double predestinarians, which is a heterodox conclusion to Calvinism.
b57 and Nanja are hyper-Calvinists, a group declared heretical by all orthodox Reformed or Calvinist.

Thirdly, no proper covenantalist is an anti-Semite, for the very term implies a negative racially motivated mindset against ethnic Jews. As my post indicates, God has not finished with saving Jews. Again, God has a plan for Jews, it is the same plan He promised to Adam and to Abraham. That referred to seed therein is the one Jesus Christ. He is the Holy One of Israel, He is the Israel of God. He did what Adam would not do. He did what stiff-necked Israel would and could not do. All Israel, that is bona fide Christians (Gal. 6:16; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Hebrews 8:8-10) will be saved.

I have edited your name out. I trust your word as a follower of Christ. I extend my apology. I offer myself no excuses.
Peace and Respect
I will change the edit caption to:
"For my persistent brother in Christ"

It is these very sort of unsupportable accusations and libels that leaves me with no patience for those that would present themselves to be sincerely seek answers, all the while concealing an agenda to hold others to ridicule or toady to the hoi polloi. God has given me a limited number of resources—in particular, time, money, talents, and energy. And I am commanded to be a good steward of each (cf. Ephesians 5:15; Ecclesiastes 11:9; Mark 12:30). So I must be a good steward of my gifts and time—not everyone deserves it and I am not obligated to give it unworthily, Romans 12:6-8, Ephesians 5:15-17; 2 John 10-11; Psalm 90:12; Isaiah 49:4.
Your fifteen minutes is up, sir. :AMR:

I get concerned when people say they are not anti Jewish, and then define " bona fide Christians" as "Israel".
So who are we? "Ethnic Jews"- is that us? Not "Israel"? What is your attitude to "Ethnic Jews"- yes, those who circumcise their sons, who observe the Sabbath, who eat only kosher food- and who go to a synagogue, not a church?

Firstly, please do not place Nang in the same odious camp as b57 or Nanja.
Secondly, please do not violate the ninth commandment. I hope none here are my disciples, for their and my own regula fidei is Holy Writ. If you can point me to a link containing content wherein Nang has appealed to the Institutes for consigning another to eternal perdition, I will be sadly compelled to rebuke Nang. Of course, you cannot. :AMR1: As for the likes of b57 or Nanja, I do not come to the defense of entrenched heretics.

Before you contradict my claim of theological anti-semitism by claiming to not be "anti-Semitic" and infact loving towards the Jews as people; I am on record as citing a historical nod towards the deep violence that has occurred over the last 2000 years against Jews that was incited by Christian theology that teaches the insignificance of the Jews by birth heritage that hold to old traditions.
Please post evidence that I ever consigned any soul to hell . . Whether in regard to Calvin's Institutes or otherwise.
If you cannot (which you surely cannot, for such is a falsehood), then I demand an immediate and public apology.

Excellent.
But the dispensationalists will not comprehend your message, for they prove to be spiritless, without life, and blind to the great Truth of Jesus Christ.
Pagans, hiding behind their counterfeit "religion", in order to appear godly in the world and deceive the sons of God if they might.
But they will fail . .
