  • 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.

I am astounded by some of the comments by 'discerning' christians who support Israel's murderous slaughter of children, women and innocent men. I have never visited USA, but I have heard of your deluded zeal for the state of Israel.
Satan will tell you 10 facts, and 9 of them will be true. Let me tell you a secret, the true nation of Israel is not in the middle east, and Izra el are not God's chosen people. They are deluded.

There’s a significant shift underway concerning Israel globally and Americans have followed suit. In response, Netanyahu undertook a campaign to repair the damage by hiring social media influencers who produce pro-Israeli content. You can hear an overview of what occurred below and direct remarks from him in the second piece. He mentions the purchase of Tik-Tok as well.


The second video is a clip of Debra Lea who attended the event and addresses him directly. The original was posted her feed and proceeded with the following headline:

I had the honor of asking Bibi Netanyahu about Charlie Kirk’s assassination & the potential loss of evangelical support for the state of Israel.

2 Thessalonians 2:11
Isaiah 66:4

Residing in the United States or any other country does not alter what the Bible states regarding the nation of Israel. Scripture states that descendants of Abraham are God's chosen people, no matter where they live—whether in the UK, USA, or Ramallah.

Prophet Elijah had similar questions about Israel as many Christians have today. Some Christians observe that the actions of Israel differ from the teachings of Christ, which emphasize mercy and compassion.

1 King 19:10

“He said, “I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.”

And the God answer back to Elijah

“Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.””


In the book of Romans, Paul elaborates the same event

Romans 11:1-6 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”[a]? 4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[b] 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.”.


My question to you is this: If God is eager to forgive the transgressions of His chosen nation and people despite their actions, what reason do you have to accuse them?

I guess that it is the wrong time to congratulate Trump, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey.

I would note that for the last two years, the Arab states have celebrated the demise of the terrorists in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza (and celebrated the bombing of Iran).

By this time next year, Israel will have completed the Abrahma Accords and signed an agreement with Saudia Arabia.
===============
And I pray that we will have a new Israeli government that will fully withdraw from the West Bank and allow peace within Palestine (Gaza and the West Bank). Never have the Arab states been so united in a cause, except when they have opposed Shiite terrorists.

Astounding Christians would accuse them of this and not Hamas.

I agree.

Let us be clear. No one supports Hamas except for terrorists, Iran, American lefties and some European lefties.

There can be no peace with Hamas with any power or as part f the government. FULL STOP
==============
And very few support Israeli tactics in Gaza and the West Bank. No one supports the continued Israeli occupation of Gaza.
Trump has tried to broker peace for many months. He finally was moved to immediate action when Irael attacked Qatar.

Trump made Israel apologize and Trump promised to defend Qatar and take whatever action is necessary if they are attacked again.

I support President Trump's efforts regarding the peace deal and the 20-step plan.

However, I will observe the process with skepticism. The initial phase of exchanging of hostage/ prisoners and the withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza will demonstrates goodwill, but the subsequent steps will be more challenging, particularly when it comes to Hamas surrendering and transferring authority to an international governing body.

I am highly doubtful that Hamas will ultimately capitulate.
