CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

When did I do that. The previous post included history concerning a king and peoples who were not Christians, and then became Catholic Christians for as the writer suggests, less than "Christian" motives. Demonstrated by the actions of their King described. Today the title of Christian encompasses a very broad spectrum of peoples with many varying beliefs. Even very different beliefs regarding morals and the commandments of God. I would not bother telling anyone today, that they were not Christian, as the title now encompasses such a broad range of people and beliefs. If I actually did so, I will gladly remove that content if pointed out, and offer my apologies.MOD HAT ON
Stating or implying that another Christian member, or group of members, are not Christian is not allowed.

Lost tribes of Israel

Praying for Israel and Jerusalem is G-d's command for every Christian in Jesus Christ.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the Lord our G-d I will seek thy good. Ps 122:6-9
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Isa 62:6-7
G-d commands his people to ‘give him no rest’ until Jerusalem comes into the fullness of her inheritance. The peace of Jerusalem is about Israel entering into the fullness of its destiny, as spoken of by the prophets.
Since the Gentiles (or nations) have been grafted into the Jewish ‘olive tree’ of G-d's people (Rom 11:16-24), they also inherit these promises.
G-d calls us to devote ourselves to passionate intercession for the salvation of Israel and Jerusalem, which is without doubt the most contested place on the planet. It will cost us everything we have to enter into prayer for Israel and Jerusalem before the Lord returns.
Jesus tells the parable of the unjust judge who was repeatedly implored by a widow, and concludes with the question:
And shall not G-d avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? Lk 18:7
Both passages suggest that some concerns are so important and urgent that we must pray for them not only during the day but also at night: the restoration of Jerusalem is one such concern.
The prophet Isaiah says that these ‘watchmen’ are all those ‘make mention of the Lord’
עַל־חוֹמֹתַיִךְ יְרוּשָׁלִַם הִפְקַדְתִּי שֹׁמְרִים כָּל־הַיּוֹם וְכָל־הַלַּיְלָה תָּמִיד לֹא יֶחֱשׁוּ הַמַּזְכִּרִים אֶת־יְהוָה אַל־דֳּמִי לָכֶם
Remember/mention (zakar) is the literal meaning in Hebrew; the word mazkir is derived from the root zakar. mazkir adds a new dimension to zakar, and makes it to cause to remember/mention. That is, to remind, such as a recorder or a secretary. An important task of a secretary is to remind her boss of appointments that are in the calendar
This also gives us a practical indication of how G-d envisages our prayer for Jerusalem. As His “intercessory secretaries”, we have two central tasks. First, we must know His prophetic calendar. Second, we must remind Him of the “to-dos” entered in it. This includes G-d’s commitment to restore Israel and rebuild Jerusalem at the end of time.
