Well, that is good. The next thing is that Israel is the Jews and the current state of Israel.

I don`t understand what you mean.

Well, when Abram was made to be Abraham, the father of the Jews, that is the literal place you start. Yes, Ismael and Isaac were his sons but it is clear that the PROMISE came through Isaac. Ishmeal got lands and riches(oil) but Gods plan for man including the Law(Moses) and the messiah(Jesus) was through the JEWISH line.
The modern state of Israel is part of that lineage.
There are geographical borders given to Isaac and to Ishmeal. Ishmeal got tons and tons of land but Israel got her land.

All people in the end times must choose on whose side they will go. That is in the Bible, too.
It is the spiritual battle between Ishmeal and Isaac. It is fought out on the earth( and will never be solved until Jesus returns) but the roots of it are in Genesis with Isaac and Ishmael with Ishmeal wanting what was Isaacs, just as they do to this day.

One cannot really be a Christian and reject Israel as it is YOUR heritage, too, as you are the wild olive branch. The Jews are the root.

I had asked you if you were an adherent to the Pauline Doctrine which teachs we are saved by Grace and and abandons the ritual dietary teachings of the Law of Moses.

Jesus did not teach that nor claim it as Paul teachs
(he came to fullfill the Law of Moses and the prophets).

That`s why some christians adhere to the Law of Moses and it`s dietary rituals.

Yes, I believe in the Pauline doctrine. We are saved by grace through faith but the faith is not of ourselves. It is a gift from God.


Well, why would you not want to give aid to Israel and want to give it to Arab countries if you do not hate Israel?

Ami Anne, there is a huge difference between disliking a countrys politics and her people and heritage. Please note I have said this before too. PLEASE do not put the word "hate" in my mouth. You may feel hate but do not project it. Hate is an ugly word and one I don`t use or feel towards anyone or thing.

Well, Juni, what you fail to see is that YOU, as a Christian, are part of Israel as she is fufillment of the Bible. You are the wild olive branches grafted onto the natural tree which is the Jews and Israel. Israel is YOUR country/heritage as well as mine, if you are a Bible believing Christian.

I`m calling you out on this inane accusation.

Show ME where I said I was NOT part of the olive tree ie Israel and her inheritance.
OR where I hate Jews. Just pull it up and prove it once and for all so this inane conversation can be put to bed.

Quote me please. With my 14 thousand + posts on LL, you should be able to prove it, yes??

You said Israel was a welfare state. I asked you if the Arab states we give money to are welfare states. I asked it many times waiting for an answer. Do you care to give an answer now?

You can` and you know it. Because I don`t believe like you I am a hater, plain and simple. The very foundation of fundamentalism.

Thank you for proving my point by hammering on things that reflect your state of being and calling it mine..

Ami Anne, can`t you tell the difference of politics and Faith?? Please, tell me what part is confusing you so someone can enlighten you.

Do you know how silly that is, really?
And THAT makes me a "hater".

You never answered my question. Do you want to give money to Arab states and not Israel. Why?

I gave you many opportunities which you ignored.
It is between you and God. I really don't care, Juni

Thats what I thought nay, KNEW. Proof does not exist because it is all made up in your mind

BTW You adore Randall and he explained to you why many feel the same way but in your huff to try to make me say I hate Israel, you overlooked it.

Next time you accuse of of anything, have the facts at hand.

Juni
Since you insist on putting this in GU, I want to give my opinion and then I will not come back.
Someone who cannot answer a simple political question has a dislike/hatred for Israel and the Jewish people.
You cannot separate politics from one's heart.
I have done my part by explaining the role of Israel in the Bible. You can accept it or reject it. That part is not my domain. That is all I am called on to do.
Good Bye, Juni.

For me politics is an intellectual endeavor, Faith is a balance of intellect,heart and soul.

you may not but I can and do.

Again, you are projecting your state of being onto me.

So you render that ugly opinion based on my refusal to be bullied into answering a question.

That says it all...

RegardesPlatero,

no worries about this turn about. No one has the power to reduce me to name calling or bitter accusations. I am sorry GU got dragged into it but I can`t account for anothers actions.

Speaking as someone who has enjoyed many years worth of debate with Juni regarding Jewish custom, law and faith, all of which she has passionately defended w/o exception, I must say I'm finding this convo damn hilarious. In fact, I'm almost tempted to copy and post one of our many Mosaic Law arguments. It's like talking to Reb Moshe.

By Juni's hardcore standards, I'd say Ami was the anti-semite.

This question is mainly to Christians, but any faith can discuss this.

Do you think Astrology is a sin? Or that the practice of Astrology is frowned upon by God?


In my opinion, no, astrology is not sinful.

The problem isn't with scripture. The problem is with some people's interpretation of scripture. You're bound to run into someone sooner or later who might convince you (or try to convince you) that some practices (like astrology or other arts) are sinful. What's happening is, you're not so much getting convinced that what they're saying is true as much is being pulled into the sway of their strong, and perhaps persuasive personality. You can come across any dumb %%$^#$@# who really doesn't know jack $#@$^%$ about the Bible, but comes across like they do because they've got a strong, persuasive personality. Then, you could come across someone more meek who's got Biblical knowledge in spades and would find no problem with Christianity and astrology, only you may never make contact with them because their meekness has their knowledge under social lock and key.

In my opinion, although I find some people's hesitancy or even aversion to astrology understandable, using religion as their defense for why they think it's sinful is garbage.
