“If you believe anyone can claim a land from 2000 year ago, I pity you, because if that is the case, most of us living in most of the world do not belong where we actually are and could all be kicked out.” - Sue King
My heart is bleeding for Palestinians and Palestine 💔 I can't imagine that millions and millions of people have suffered and continue to suffer because of made up BS and greedy politicians! I'm disgusted with this world to no end
I as a Christian Palestinian from Bethlehem was not accepted by the Dutch evangelical churches when they knew that I am not a jew.
That speech was very enlightening, and also very comforting to hear him speak the truth. If you are human and have any Good in your heart, you could never be comfortable when you see injustice and suffering and call it human rights, like what we are seeing today.
I thought that many people in America careless about the issue of the Palestinians but now I see many people do care thank God for that
I thought everyone in America were already blind. Thank god some of them can see again.
And now look what is happening to the people of Gaza, what person that declares themselves to be Christian can think that killing children so that somehow makes a way for them to get to some heaven is disgusting to say the least.
Thank you very much . God bless you for speaking Truth to the warmongers !
It is the last apartheid state in the colonial experiment...
God bless the believing people who fight for justice against the oppressed..
Well, for a long time I had this question, now I got the answer. Thanks to you caring, honest, brave, beautiful people. Thanks
If the Kingdom of God could be made to appear as an earthly political entity, it would undercut our Lord’s teachings about its’ spiritual nature. ✔️
Look let’s be real, as long as people think that they are better than others. The the sin of Evil starts creeping into the hearts, and then this happens. Love your neighbor and do good, it’s that simple.❤
I am a fundamental baptist that hates zionism, and dispenationalism. One of maybe 2% of fundamental baptists. This belief comes from not reading the bible, but following scofields notes, instead.
What an eye opener..
Since NO geographical locations in the Bible are physical - but inner/spiritual alegory, all this heresy about physical Israel ought to motivate people to get spiritual in their 'religious views'.
I encountered this teachings at a church I was attached to and didn't realize what it was or even that there was a name for it, but I had a very uneasy feeling about the persistent relentless teachings focused on Israel being exclusively "God's people." Although I felt positively about Israel from my Bible readings, there was an air of idolatry that permeated these teachings that made me feel this wasn't right. Now after doing my research after Oct 7th and discovering new disturbing truths about modern day Israel, I realize my unease was a conviction by the Holy Spirit warning me not to indulge in false doctrine.
Victims don't need privileges, they need therapy.
I was raised a Catholic in a very Catholic city. I am now an atheist who just loves what Jesus had to say. End times cannot be brought about by man, according to the Bible, it must be brought about by God. That is what I was taught.
