Meh. Two guys that created their own Christian religious sects. The opinion of 2 guys doesn’t make something you believe a “fraud”.

And since it’s in the Bible that whoever doesn’t help out Israel is going to be cursed by God himself… all the Christian’s are going to help out.



There’s an inevitable here… it’s just unclear how long it’s going to take.
Look up Cyrus Scofield and John Nelson Darby and you'll find that's a fraud.

I don't know enough about this conflict in any kind of depth, but I'm trying to learn more about the issues.

Would you mind awfully educating me on what land it actually IS that NY is deeming "occupied Palestinian territories"? Would appreciate it.

I don't know why NY thinks they've got authority to decide where donations from a charity are directed. Is it simply because they've got such a large Jewish population? You'd think they'd have their hands plenty full with issues to resolve locally.

It’s the territories called the “West Bank”. During the Six Day War between Israel and a coalition of Arab countries, Israel won and seized the West Bank from Jordan, the Gaza Strip from Egypt and the Golan Heights from Syria. None of these were “Palestinian territories”. They had been previously annexed by those countries. Israel unilaterally gave up the Gaza Strip, which now is controlled by Hamas. The West Bank is under military occupation since 1967, when Israel captured it from Jordan. There are regions under the administration of the Palestinian Authority. That status isn’t disputed at all, it was affirmed by the International Court of Law. What’s questioned is the establishment of Israeli settlements in the region. But the military occupation itself isn’t considered illegal at all.
And yes, that bill cannot pass as it allows people to sue nonprofits based in NY, in other states or even internationally. That’s completely out of New York’s jurisdiction. The bill doesn’t have strong support. The guy who proposed it is an antisemite, plain and simple.

He ran as a Democratic Socialist and with the endorsement of previous "Antisemitic of the Week" Linda Sarsour.”

This is also a good explanation as to why many people disagree that those settlements are illegal.

https://embassies.gov.il/abuja/AboutIs ... d-Law.aspx

“In short, the attempt to portray Jewish communities in the West Bank as a new form of "colonial" settlement in the land of a foreign sovereign is as disingenuous as it is politically motivated. At no point in history were Jerusalem and the West Bank subject to Palestinian Arab sovereignty. At issue is the right of Jews to reside in their ancient homeland, alongside Palestinian Arab communities, in an expression of the connection of both peoples to this land.”

And here you can read both arguments.

You think it's just a sect?! It spread through out protestantism. It was not a Christian edict to believe what they spread. Dispensationalism... poppycock!

So? It’s still a sect. Every group that has its own set of beliefs and doctrines within a larger group are sects. It’s not a matter of numbers. There’s no one absolute Christian doctrine. They can believe whatever they want, other Christian sects can disagree. It doesn’t mean they have the truth and all other sects and their beliefs are are “frauds”.

I was talking about Genesis 12:2-3

Genesis 12:2-3
New International Version
2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a]
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;




PLENTY of Christians in the Bible Belt believe that to be true and won’t ever go against Israel…
