Cause And Effect

So then let me ask the question, do you see the pattern? If so, why would there be one if what God spoke to Abraham didn't also apply to Israel today? There's another pattern concerning 9 av.

I think we can see a pattern in just about anything if we look hard enough. However, I don't believe that's the issue. I believe the issue is on what basis do we take a statement made to Abraham and apply it to all of Israel. After the Jews rejected Christ God scattered them and destroyed their city. They are still in exile. Modern Israel doesn't follow God so why would God bless those who bless Israel?
 
I agree, Roads, about those who accept Christ are party to the promise God made to Abraham. But I would also say that the promise to Abraham was made to all his seed. There are numerous times that Israel - the Jews, did not follow God's will, and they paid for it throughout history, but He has never abandoned them and I think there are many prophecies made yet to come that will bring them back thru Christ. Many of the first Christians were Jews (not to mention Christ) so not all Jews rejected Christ. They are God's chosen that produced Christ and I don't believe He is done with them yet. And God keeps His promises.

I'm not sure about Abdicates linking of events. You say because a politician says - but politicians are a representative of government. And government seems to do what they will without consent from it's people. And always it is the people who will suffer for wrong actions. In the past, Israel's people suffered for their leaders leading them wrong too. Personally, I am for a US that supports present day Israel - but not because of any possible curse that may be a consequence.

Israel is under election, that is why.

how many patterns have we seen through the years? Just recently a big to do about Blood moons. The end comes when the gospel is preached all over the World. We are not there yet.

Because, unlike the false replacement theology, they are God's chosen people. They didn't obtain because of the lack of faith and we were grafted in, they are the natural tree. God is not done with them. Read Romans 9-11.

It will happen...

Revelation 14:6-7 (KJV)
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

Just not by us...
 
Another 1/2 cent: The Bible is inspired by God but darn near the whole thing - OT and new - was written by Jews. They are our spiritual parents, and as such deserve our honor and respect. Seems like there is a commandment about that.:)

While I believe supporting Israel is the right thing, isn't it unwise to connect natural catastrophes with words said against them? It is unlikely to change minds set against them and only seems another flimsy excuse to blame Jews. Or worse - God. I'm just wondering.

I do see a pattern, tho and can see what Abdicate is trying to say.
 
Premiss:
Genesis 12:3 (KJV)
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

  1. So, in the news, read about governmental actions against Israel's government.
  2. Look for natural events that occur within 48 hours of those statements

So, from now on, when a disaster occurs, look to see what the authorities did to Israel!

so we can successfully deduce that if ice cream sales rise, it will cause more shark attacks?

I do see a pattern, tho and can see what Abdicate is trying to say.
True, I'm not on my computer to look it up, but there's a prophecy about the hearts of the children returning to the father... I have such a desire to learn about them even their flawed beliefs so I can be used to help them. Jesus had to learn all 613 commandments...
 
what are you talking about. what I said is very unrelated to what you posted.
Then why did you quote my post and make the statement? I still think your just an aggitator just by the statement even if it were not directed at me. It was just plain rude without an explenation.
 
Ah Butch, friend, Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness, Abraham is called the father of faith, Paul tells us that all that have the faith of Abraham are his children, ...the just shall live by faith, in faith I believe what God has written concerning His chosen people, ...it's as simple as that.

In answer to your question, God has made a prophecy about His chosen people, Israel, 483 years have already passed, there are 7 that still remain to be accomplished, ..or else God is a liar and it's impossible for Him to lie.

Blessings,

Gene
 
I thought it was needed to be said to demonstrate God being the always in control and is the one in power at all times. hes the one that made if the ice cream sales rise, so will the shark attacks. God is the one that made ice cream have the reaction to human and when humans are near sharks, human tend to be bitten. There was a study done how ice cream make the human more tastier to sharks.

i am sorry for being rude for telling you how I think God is all powerful. Thats all I was saying.
 
and yes. I do agree with God fulfilling the prophecies. and shouldnt be blaming israel for anything. God will protect his people at all times.

im sorry for telling you how powerful I think your god is? i know that God is the that creates everything and he tajes care of all his creation. I was just praising God. If you think me praising god is rude, i wont praise God anymore.

You're making no sense at all...

@Silk I found it i think... Malachi 4:6
