Re: The Israeli state?
And is full of a combination of essentially atheistic seculars and believers in a made up religion that was posited as a replacement for the true religion that God prescribed, commonly called Rabbinic Judaism. One of the more interesting groups are the Samaritans - all 900 of them. About half are i...

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
How does the "Five-Fold" Gospel compare to the "Four Square" Gospel? Foursquare refers to four aspects of Christ's ministry: Savior, Sanctifier (or in some versions Baptizer), Healer, and King. The "trademark" of the group I was involved with for some thirty years, the...

Re: The Israeli state?
My perspective is that many Israelites accepted Christ and indeed created what is now the church. They were the first Christians. The unbelievers perished in 70 AD when the temple was destroyed, never to be rebuilt again. The continuation of “Israel” in the church and Christians, going all the way ...

Re: “Five-fold ministry”?
Is this teaching associated with a particular denomination? Is it found across denominations? In current usage, it's generally a charismatic/NAR concept. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostolic-Prophetic_Movement Yeah, that is where I heard it as well. Derick Prince, C. Peter Wagner, and the like. ...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
Unfortunately, that's the best you can do for someone in that situation. I've hit a point where I don't think enabling an addiction is doing good at all. That's why I like working with places that have rather strict rules, so I know the help will actually be helping. The places and programs that I ...

Re: The Israeli state?
I do not agree with some of the Israel state structure. I do not agree with some of the Chinese, Muslim, African, and Ukrainian state structures. I do not agree with some of the US state structures. As I said, I know they have work to do. They are not throwing people off roofs or shooting them in t...

Re: The Israeli state?
While there are actually Arabs in the Israeli military and at last count (that I found) there are 10 Arabs in the Israeli Parliament...I'm sure there is discrimination of Arabs in Israel. Especially in the settler communities of West Banks. None but Jews are drafted. Are these Muslims (absolutely n...

Re: The Israeli state?
Arab citizens in Israel definitely do not have equal rights. Not even close. And more to the point, Israel claims control over the territory of the West Bank yet grants the people stuck living there almost no rights (including no right to vote). The end result of this is a minority gets to decide w...

Re: The Israeli state?
An obvious question is if this same concern for various ethnic groups to have a home and make a state of it extends to other people. Israel is run as an effective apartheid state where Jews have far more rights than non-Jews, regardless of citizenship. As do Muslim, Chinese, and many African states...
