There is no getting a lasting peace when one group seeks the obliteration of another group. Because conquering is not enough anymore when two groups sincerely see land as rightfully theirs. The Jews because God gave it to them (reasonable enough for those who believe in God). The Muslims because the Ottomans claimed it. “One […]
Throughout history, failing to finish as God commands, leads to a little left behind (as leaven) to undermine the future. From a distant observer’s standpoint, the Temple Mount is dominated by the Dome of the Rock shrine. Were some alien’s ship to land, overlooking the city, it would lead one to conclude it’s Muslim and […]
I’m sure I’m not the only Christian bothered by the skyline of Jewish Jerusalem and seeing the Al-Aqsa Mosque and bright gold Dome of the Rock shrine dominating the land where the Temple of Solomon once stood. According to Reuters, “The Al-Aqsa lies at the heart of Jerusalem’s Old City on a hill known to […]
I’m starting to get really annoyed at the appropriation by TikTok theologians of the Jewish Jesus who fulfilled Scripture. If I’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it a dozen times or more the claim that Jesus was simply Palestinian (with no mention that He was a Jew or the Son of God). The word Palestine, […]
A usual baby born in a natural way to any man in David’s family line like Joseph and any usual woman in Bethlehem. Nothing supernatural. He’d grow up to be powerful because he had good genes, the right education taught by premier academics, the right path opened for him by his parents’ and political connections, […]
Jesus’ birth was more political than His death. The whole world was more than content to crucify Jesus after He’d been around for a while. Sure the angels proclaimed His birth to the Jews, but that was long ago, and it didn’t turn out like they’d thought it should. In the end, it didn’t matter […]
. Jesus’ mom was Jewish. His Dad is God. To all the so-called church leaders out there diminishing His birth by removing all celebrations because of the war between Hamas and Israel, is that what Jesus would do? Wow, there’s strife in the world among men. I guess we should put communicating peace with God […]
There’s a difference between not complicating the very simple message of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and what’s going on in the city of His birth this Christmas. Church leaders have made the decision considering the war in a totally separate area of the West Bank (Gaza) to eliminate all “unnecessarily […]
Any political or religious movement that relishes, welcomes, or pursues death of any part of humanity (young, old, religious, ethnic, etc.) has no part in the Christian worldview. Beware of any political or religious ideology that seeks the death of Jesus’ heritage or the faith movement He began. . Seriously, is this that hard a […]
Jesus wasn’t a Christian. There were no Christians then. Jesus was born Jewish, raised Jewish, taught according to Judaism, and died as a Jew. Accept it. . Questions for further thought: Why do people want to diminish Jesus’ heritage as a Jew? Are they ashamed of Him? In many churches, pastors are afraid of sounding […]
