Zone1 The unconditional covenant God made with the Jews (AKA Israelites/Hebrews including converts, excluding Arabs)

[konradv]

But you did say, "A god that excludes anyone is a god not worth worshipping," right?

Because you might as well be saying accountability isn't important. But setting that aside, I'm pretty sure worshipping God is for our benefit and not God's benefit.

I'm a Christian, so at the end of the day, I don't believe God excludes any of his creatures, I think we exclude ourselves. But if God did do that, I'm certain there would be a good reason for it.

Don’t tell me what I said. If you need clarification, ask.

I literally quoted what you wrote. The rest is my opinion. Is it ok if I express my opinions?

It was the interpretation that was bullshit.

Will animal sacrifice resume after the Third Temple is restored?

Shihh.. let's bunker-buster that Dome of The Rock and restore the temple that's underneath that, huh?
Mhmm.
The Jews have The Ark, yes they do. Not sure what they're doing with it, but OK.
It has the 10 Commandments in it, and Jesus's blood on it.
That's why God cracked the ground open, so his son's blood could reach The Ark that Jeremiah had priests stash centuries before right where God told him to. Directly under Golgotha.
Yep. That's how it is.

Maybe from your perspective but not from mine.

Nice try, but what I meant can only be explained by me, since God doesn’t speak to us directly.

 

[rosends]

I wasn't saying I was speaking on your behalf or on the Jewish people's behalf. I was saying I was speaking on my behalf.

Spitting on Christians, defacing religious artifacts and misstating their beliefs even after being corrected are not signs of tolerance. They are signs of disrespect and animus. Apples don't fall far from their trees.

Actually, that's what you did in post 16.

And how do you feel about protecting religious rights, paying to upgrade churches and allowing all people's to visit most holy sites?

Those things happen in Israel much more frequently but you want to focus on the outliers as if they represent more than just themselves. Weird.

Sure he does. He's constantly giving us feedback as he prunes us.

That's almost like arguing civil rights in the 1960's wasn't needed because not all whites disrespected blacks. I know that not every Israeli is disrespectful of Christians. That doesn't mean it's not a problem.

 

[rosends]

I don't think so.

You would be wrong. Go back and check.

I don't recall saying anything is or isn't a problem but the question is of the accuracy of the label.

You should be wrong. Go back and check.

Truth usually hurts before it helps.

The Jews have The Ark, yes they do. Not sure what they're doing with it, but OK.

So where is it?

Last l saw was the Arch of Titus, depicting spoils from the Temple in Jerusalem, plundered by the Romans, and taken to who knows where.

No, it was right under Golgotha where Jeremiah stashed it. A guy found it and the Jewish government took it.
The Ark being there was commanded by God to Jeremiah. That's why the ground was cracked open, so Jesus' blood could hit the Mercy Seat, completing God's sacrifice to man that he knew he was already gonna do even way back in the Abraham days. Him testing Abraham was to see if we were worth if he sacrificed his own son.
Jeremiah had his priests stash the Ark there. Around 400 years prior, I think.
The Ark is in Israel. Some Ethiopians think they have it. Idk what they do have, but it probably is something significant, because they've been guarding it since Jesus rose from the dead and went there for his 1st stop.
The Jews have the real Ark in Israel.
Ethiopians have something they've been guarding since Jesus was there, almost 2000 years.

I’m talking the day-to-day world. You can’t prove any god has ever spoken to you.

The Self-Appointed Rulers Can't Let That Idea Spread

Entitled-elitist Antisemites resent the phrase "Chosen People" because they believe only one birthclass of a whole nation can be chosen by God.

The present state of the Jews is...unchosen. The were broken off of the 'tree' in Jesus' day and haven't been grafted back in.

I am too.

Maybe not to your satisfaction but to mine I can. The Holy Spirit is in all of us.

 

[Lisa558]

Until it doesn't.

And when doesn’t it? Aren’t Jews allowed to defend themselves against Muslims who want to destroy them all?

^^^ LOL. No leftist arrogance here!
