The horse is dead; we can stop beating it.
Good morning, Yesua888;
It's a busy morning here and this thread just caught my attention.
It's a YouTube discussion, thoughts from two sides by a politician and journalist that I highly respect. They're sharing their views on the exegesis of Genesis, comparing it to today's times in Israel mixed with their personal opinion. The good Pastor Adam Fannin gives good apologetics of what Genesis is actually teaching us.
Overall its encouraging that the politician and journalist are discussing this topic which makes room for learning and understanding which may impact their faith today and going forward.
Yesua888, there are some areas of the discussion that may stimulate some disagreement regarding the title, Satanic Israel Genocide, Judeo Christian or statements made in the video.
We will have to monitor carefully the direction of this thread in case it escalates to any compromise of the forum rules.
God bless you, Yesua888.
Bob

I agree and the title of ", Satanic Israel Genocide, Judeo Christian" might be a clue!!!!
I have never had respect for Mr. Carlson. There is a reason he was fired from Fox news. He is a hack who does nothing but extreme "got cha" interviews.
The pastor is correct and also incorrect. Judaism is a religion with ancient roots, based on the Torah and the worship of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Zionism, on the other hand, is a modern political ideology that seeks to establish and maintain a Jewish state, irrespective of religious beliefs.
In the Bible, the term “Israel” refers to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whom God chose as His covenant people. This choice was not based on their inherent worth but on God’s grace and His desire to use them to reveal His nature and will to the world. The biblical Israel was called to uphold God’s laws, promote justice, and embody holiness as a “light to the nations” (Isaiah 42:6). Central to this covenant was a relationship based on obedience to God’s commandments, justice, and mercy.
Galatians 3:16 clarifies that the promises God made to Israel to find their ultimate fulfillment in Christ: ......
“The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say ‘and to seeds,’ meaning many people, but ‘and to your seed,’ meaning one person, who is Christ.”
Secondly, the physical land of Israel was always tied to the covenant relationship with God, which included moral and ethical responsibilities. The Israel of the Bible was to uphold justice, care for the poor, and live in obedience to God’s commandments. The modern state of Israel, by contrast, has been involved in an ongoing conflict with the Palestinians, many of whom have been displaced, oppressed, and subjected to what many call systemic injustice and violence. The ongoing conflict in Gaza, where the Israeli military has been accused of war crimes and the killing of innocent civilians, starkly contrasts with the biblical mandate for justice and mercy.
However, we must remember that the Palestinians were offered a two state solution on 2 different occasions and THEY rejected it!
