The Confederate Flag was strictly a 'battle flag' flown in the midst of battle. It was actually one of several different confederate battle flags. Kind of like the American flag...it went through its own series of different looks before the final product. ...Anyway, that's all it was: a battle flag. All armies had them. The Union had theirs, too. Big whoop.
Lol...what a toxic thread. It'll be locked in no time.
But no mention of anger towards the way the Palestinians treat Israel? Bombing them at every turn? From my point of view, Israel has tried to make peace with them, but they keep attacking, then the world gets on Israel for retaliating. If that was Mexico shooting rockets and taking pot shots and detonating bombs on buses and in malls, we'd invade! Many Arab nations, including the Palestinians, wish for Israel to be wiped off the map. They hate Israel with a passion.
Yet Jesus said they would return. The land belongs to the Jews. There was NEVER a true Palestine or a nation recognized as Palestine. So why the Jews have to give up their own land boggles my mind. It doesn't belong to anyone but the Jews. All the prophecy points towards this happening. Israel will be surrounded on all sides by enemies. The anti-Christ will make a peace treaty and break it. The Jews have always been the enemy of the world because they are God's chosen people.
Toxic thread? No. It seems like no matter what the topic is, people always get off topic and argue controversial opinions anyway. I am trying to start a thread that can't get off topic because it can include whatever random opinions people want to express. but yes, it wouldn't surprise me if the mods quickly suppress this expression of free thought. I can see them coming now with jack boots and ban-hammers.
Good discussion, guys. It's refreshing having a more deeper talk to contribute or read through on here.
I understand your points and agree to somewhat. The Jews are traitors to the King. They denied and crucified Him. But it says they will turn back towards Him. Right now they're concerned with building a third temple and considering ritualistic sacrifice like the days of old.you do have a good point about Palestine, the Palestinians have not always been good neighbors to Israel
and the acts of terrorism done by Palestine are horrible
I guess I am more sympathetic to a poor country that has been invaded and suppressed by a rich and strong country
like when the Irish were seeking independence from the UK, a lot of bad things happened
but it was the weak striking out at their oppressor
it is not an excuse for terrorism, but rather an explanation
as for Israel seeking "peace"
Israel has been oppressing Palestine, stealing land and killing on a whim
the "peace" Israel seeks is a continuation of the Status Quo, with their boots firmly planted on the neck of Palestine
you are probably right, there was no country called Palestine
but it was a region of many empires, from the Roman, the Byzantine to the Ottoman, and then the British
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine
they called it Palestine, both Jews and Arabs lived there
Israel invaded and occupied Palestine after the 6 Day War in 1967
yeah, Palestine made some serious mistakes
but so did Germany with WWII, we did not oppress them for 50 years
we helped them become a peaceful country with a strong economy
we did not keep them in a Ghetto like what Israel is doing to Palestine
as for the stuff about the Bible
Jesus is the King in the line of David, Jesus is the Messiah
so if the modern secular democratic nation-state of Israel that was created in 1948 is connected to the Biblical Israel, then all of them are traitors to their King
I do not really think a country made up by the British 1800 years after the destruction of Jerusalem (even then Israel was an occupied nation) can really claim to be linked to the biblical Israel
I hope my bringing up points and asking questions about Jews wasn't confrontational. Sometimes that's the tone that comes out in my words, but it is in no way the intention in which I speak or mean it.I agree
as for this thread getting locked
I am wondering, how much should we debate, and how much should we just let people share their views
like unless someone calls me out specifically, I do not think I am really going to question what other people say on here, it is their view
unless I am asking for them to clarify something
I dunno.... I will see what people say.... I might have to speak up on some things
I hope my bringing up points and asking questions about Jews wasn't confrontational. Sometimes that's the tone that comes out in my words, but it is in no way the intention in which I speak or mean it.
that sounds kind of unlikely?Apparently the verses that mention the Messiah have been removed from their Torah
Lol when I was on a conspiracy site all the time some years back I was almost sure he was the antichrist. That man called him Mohbama instead hahaha and the other one on that white horse was also the antichrist, Romney, but when he didn't become president Obama had to be it.I hate obummer with every fiber of my being.
And the other one is Obama. I think he's a Muslim and I've been unfriended for saying so. There's videos of him bashing Christianity and bible while praising Allah and the Koran. He's also poking the big racial stick at America. If you don't like him? You're racist. Are you proud to be white and straight? You're racist and homophobic. You want to fly a confederate flag because it's a symbol of your heritage? You're a racist.
You can tell the difference in his reactions when a white person kills a black person, when a Muslim kills Americans, and when a black person kills a white person. All different reactions.
And you know what else? I think that some of these jellyfish Christians are the reason why stuff that Christians don't like gets done. And the worst part? I think I might be one of them sometimes.I have a lot of strong opinions. Some are just my opinion and definitely not worth arguing for or causing controversy. The only thing that I truly believe that I would be willing to defend is my belief that the majority of the beliefs and views espoused by modern Christianity produce spineless Christians. There is such little emphasis on love for God and the desire to follow him regardless of the consequences. Denying yourself and picking up your cross is an almost obsolete concept. Add to that an almost contempt or scorn for Church history and you end up with what we have now. It is all about what God does for us. Very rarely do I hear any emphasis on how we treat or offend God or the need for a person to fully surrender their entire life to Christ.
