i'm looking for honest christians, page-45

Hi Snooker,

Got some bad news for you - the Jews still think they're the Chosen People, but Christianity doesn't subscribe to that view. Not that they weren't the Chosen People, but they have lost their "position" in the greater scheme of things. The Jews rejected Jesus Christ, and so in the Christian faith, God ended the Old Covenant with Christ's sacrifice on the Cross and created a New Covenant with His people - Christians - that transcends the bounds of races and nations, etc.

The Jewish faithful are still waiting for the Christ to come and bestow upon them their desire for a worldly kingdom and worldy domination, but God's Kingdom is no such thing. However, the Christian faith anticipates that someone (or some organisation) called the Antichrist will eventually come and give the Jews what they want - worldly power and domination - and, of course, they will hail him as their long-awaited "Christ".

So, to cut a long story short, anyone who thinks that Christians should feel obliged, through some notion of loyalty to Jewish history or whatever, to support the current worldy aspirations of the Jews in Israel is deluding themselves. Christians are Christians - do unto others as you would have done unto yourself - and the Palestinians, as well as the Jews or any other bunch of people, should be treated with mercy, charity and justice.

Whatever else may be involved, Israel won't get Christian support for whatever it is that they may be doing by playing the "religion" card.

Hope that helps you reconcile your concerns.

Regards,

Ultrafart.
