...it was their land and then bigger, stronger countries took it away from them to give it to someone else. I tend to think that's wrong.
Again, their land. I don't think giving them back half of it is good either. Why not just give it all back to them and then let
them decide who gets to live there?
...and that promise was fulfilled. And that has nothing to do with this day and age. If America wants to give land to the Jews maybe they can give them Maryland? After all it's even bigger then the land Israel has now. How about if everyone in Maryland was told: "Sorry, this is no longer part of the USA, so these people are now going to have control of who gets to live where and you all are going to have to leave voluntarily or face us moving you. Your choice." would you say "Well, that's cool."
And yet, that view has just as much validity as the one you hold. It's amazing, isn't it?
...or not, it really isn't a "Christian/non-Christian" sort of thing is it? Otherwise it would probably have come up as something Christians would have wondered about for about 2,000 years instead of for less then a 80 years.
uhmmm...no, I've questioned the whole "God promised this land to Israel and all Christians should believe like I do!!" mindset since about 1975. and I haven't seen anything that makes me want to change my mind in all that time. President Trump has nothing to do with it one way or the other...though him taking the opposite side from mine
does add
some weight to my side of the argument.
