Well, I have to say my immediate opinion (and that’s what it is) on reading The Bible was yes – God promised the land to the Israelites and He’s not one to go back on His word. We also see many good Christian men and women with often convincing views on both sides of the argument. But then, after reading and watching many documentaries and videos on the subject I became unsure again – not really knowing who’s opinion to believe, and yet feeling in my spirit that whatever sins the jews have and will commit, if they are God’s people, and God promised to give them the land as it says in the Bible, it’s His prerogative.
After all – since when has God only blessed the good. As the Bible is not ashamed to go to great lengths to illustrate openly and transparently without holding anything back to make the Israelites look better than anyone else – He chose to bless the Israelites despite their faults not because they were good and who am I to argue with God?! I am not a Jew and I have no problem with what God decides. That would be like saying; “you have been blessed but give me everything you have.” No, it seems far more Godly to say; “you have been blessed and I am thankful for it. Dear God, I love please bless me also.” Did not the father in the Bible show more love to the prodigal son – the one who squandered his wealth more than the good son? God’s ways are not our ways!
But now I think the question has been answered for us very thankfully – by the Pope. Why do I say that? Because the Pope has publicly come out and said he believes that; “The Jews have no right to the land of Israel or Jerusalem.” Thank you Pope. Having studied Catholicism’s history, now I believe finally, I and everyone else can probably know definitively what the answer to this question is. I have taken into account of the words of a Pope far more learned in the history of the word than me.
But as I always say, I and others may be wrong (we have all believed in something 100% only to find out later with more information that we were mistaken or misinformed right?) so do your own research into the history of Israel, The Israelites, Palestine and the so-called Palestinians to see if they were ever a nation or not – or if in fact and some say that they were a mix from other nations. I do not want to sway you with ‘opinion’ so I’ll leave it to you to decide which side of the argument I have fallen on.
I love God, Christ, The Bible. art, painting, playing music, improvising music, guitar (first instrument), drumming (not very good at it:), and anything musical or art related.
