I suppose if one thinks "might makes right"; what I question is why many Christians assert that "Israel has a right to exist" but they don't also assert that Palestinians and their lands in Gaza and the West Bank have a right to exist. Or do they believe that might always makes r...

Well put. I think there are indications of a return to the land of Israel, Who is doing this returning? As I’ve clarified earlier, most of the Jewish people became Christians. The rest died in 70 AD making a last stand at the temple. Whatever modern day Judaism or Jewish identity is, it has no prom...

Interesting group. Really hard to get up there, at least when I was there. Even harder to find out exactly what they have in their "temple." My friends at Jerusalem University College think they have a priceless trove of manuscripts, that outsiders can't get access to. Yes. They end up wo...

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.

Are we to believe all the believing Jews were saved in this massacre and the unbelieving slain, thus leaving th...

Jesus didn't seem to be afraid of having a narrow way.

You may not understand it. Catholics and other sacramental churches understand the distinction between liturgy and private prayer. Charismatic Christianity is a distinctly Protestant concept, so I'm asking you to explain how exactly it happens in supposedly Catholic circles. You mentioned there are...
