Re: Bunny Trails

It was a bunny trail started at the assumption Israel isn't supposed to defend itself per the teachings of Jesus. I simply was defending Israel which is not "partisan" but historical in their position against opposition. The quote I provided by an early Church teacher really wasn't to poi...

Re: Bunny Trails

Here is an interesting quote made by Origen in 248. " Christians could not slay their enemies. Nor could they condemn those who had broken the Law to be burned or stoned, as Moses commands.....However, in the case of the ancient Jews, who had a land and a form of government of their own, to ta...

Re: Bunny Trails

Which comments or topics are you referring to? I would say "if the shoe fits, wear it" but Valerie seems to think we shouldn't. Not sure how we got on that subject, but the bunny trails sometimes have a slipper-y slope. It was a bunny trail started at the assumption Israel isn't supposed ...

Re: War in Gaza

Well I have met Messianic Jews in many sects of Christianity, and also the co-founder of "Jews for Jesus" who became an Orthodox Christian, than priest. He believes the Full Gospel but interprets differently than Anabaptists, who are not infallible at interpretations. People are either Ch...

Re: War in Gaza

No. But God is not against war. He may not like it, but He has called for it, and then there is Revelations. I do believe He is not for Islam, terrorism, nor supportive of what Hamas did. Do you believe that God called for Israel to be slaughtering all these Gazan civilians and aid workers that the...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

That Russia invaded because Ukraine was persecuting Russian speakers. They overwhelmingly elected one. It's not like anybody suggested that Ukraine was persecuting Russian speakers, let alone arguing that that was the reason Russia invaded. That was, in fact, the exact claim made by the old reddit ...
