The Jerusalem problem

[peepnklown]

If you find it odd, then I don't think you have the proper understanding of Christianity.

And we all know your understanding it correct, right? If you follow Jesus then I will find it odd that you do not quote him.

Christians believe that everything Paul wrote in the canonical Bible has come from the mouth of God.

I simply find it odd that you do not quote your Lord. I already understand what you believe, just because I understand doesn’t mean I cannot see the oddity in it. Of course, the whole Paul problem runs deeper than we can discuss on this thread.

So making a distinction between the words of Paul and the words of Jesus wouldn't carry much meaning to a Christian, since orthodox Christianity does not make the distinction that you have.

I wonder if Paul were to contradict Jesus whom would carry the authority?

Who cares about Jerusalem? Does any christian read their bible? The Samaritan woman and Jesus at the well, paraphase: "A time is coming when........." You find the rest. Says how much Jerusalem matters. And I don't know why muslims whinge about Jerusalem..... the Quran doesn't even consider it important......

God does.
Jerusalem is the 'city of the Great King'.Jesus said
That is where the Lord Jesus is going to set His throne for a thousand years.

"Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame. "But,” Whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder." Mathew; 21:44

Palestine is part and parcel of the Muslims’ identity. Each Muslim has a big role to play regarding Palestine and its people. Each should support the Palestinian cause according to his means. Those who are well-off should give charity, and those who pay the Zakah aught to allocate part of it to help their oppressed Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine as well as in the whole world. Every Muslim can champion the cause of his Ummah from the place where he lives.

funny since most muslims would rather ignore the palestinians than help them, otherwise they could move to the rest of the world and allow others to cry for them..

The Jerusalem problem could be resolved by nuking it. If God wants a church there he would have to build it. If JHWH wants a temple, if Allah want a mosque . . . .

Hehe. That's the American's answer to every problem, eh? Just nuke the place! I guess that would pretty soon stop the fighting ("if you can't decide whose land it is then it's no ones place" attitude), perhaps it could also be used to 'resolve' the problems in India and Pakistan over the disputed land of Kashmir. Soon the only countries that would be let alive on the whole planet would be Australia and New Zealand - thank God we don't have any immediate neighbours - where we settle our differences on the footy field.

Also, the Bible tells us that after the Rapture of the Gentiles (i.e. the church) the Jews will believe that Jesus is the Christ (Messiah) and become Christians. So Israel will become a Christian country after the rapture.

Your land? They have as much right to live there as anyone on this face of the planet. Jews, Arabs or any other people for that matter.

"The earth is the Lord's and all the fulness of it", Israel belongs to GOD.

No... nuking the place will not solve anything. It may even start WW3.

Well it's gonna happen, and I think it's to do with that coming invasion of Islam onto Israel. And because of that Israel will retailiate and use a nuclear bomb. And that will cause the WHOLE world to hate her, as she starts WWIII by doing that. Hey I believe she would be justified, but the end times are very grim.

True ! Good post Thank you !


“There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved."Acts 4: 12

I second that (Arunma's post and your quote)!

LightOfEyes is not racist or bad .
He just listen to idiots and liars like Imams .
God will not judge him, as he have been mislead .

God will judge him, because he has been given the gospel that Jesus Christ is the only way to our Father God, and has rejected this. If he continues to reject this, his ultimate outcome will be damnation and hell fire. Sorry to say it as blunt as this, but that is the case.
