Anyone else is welcome to drop in their two cents.Yo Tech, my roomate (a Christian) and I like to have debates, Islam vs. Christianity, Palestine vs. Isreal.He was telling me that it says in the Old Testament that the Jews were Gods chosen people and that He gave Jerusalam to the Jews. And then thousands of years later, Muslims came and conquered some territories in Jerusalam, stole their land, and now that is the center of the Palestinian/Isreal conflict. And since the Jews had it first, he takes Isreals side always.How would you argue that point?
if palestinians give back all the land they settled in thousands of years ago, does that mean that the american government has to give back everything to the Native Americans?....
good point, its the same deal, hopefully palestinians wont get wiped out like that
That wasn't what he was saying though dogg.... Jamal was comparing the Native Americans to the Jews and the Palestinians to the Americans.And yo..... Tom actually said the right argument I think, but I'm still waitin on Tizzech
God did choose Jews to be his people but they rebelled and he cut them lose. Israel was to be their land. After he sent various prophets, kings and they continually rejected them and kilt them he came to earth in the flesh, Jesus Christ, King Of The Jews. He was rejected as well. The temple was destroyed and Jews were dispersed around the globe. That's the short answer. On a deeper level what God originally intended for Jews was applied to believers of Christ both Jews and Gentiles. There was the old covenant of the law and the new one of faith. The old and new testament. Jesus fulfilled the law and it ushered in the new covenant. There will be a new heaven and new earth with new jerusalem coming down from heaven onto earth. This is the inheritance of abraham that people are fighting for that isn't meant for now.The land of Israel in terms of war belongs to whoever conquers it. It just is what it is. What's not understood is that it is special to God and he's not going to let it be destroyed. That has been misunderstood that God is in the side of Jewish people, the government of Israel, judaism etc. No, it's the physical land itself that will cause him to protect it...
