re: #116 Walter L. Newton
Only depending on the sect of Christians you are talking about. The basic fundies do see Israel more as a key piece of their end time concepts than just seeing the need to support the political entity.
Take it from someone who has belong and hob-nob with more fundies, covenants, Yahist, brethren, church of “god this and that and world wide and…), end timers and so on then the average christian could ever get in to a lifetime
You can drive 4 hours south of here and go to church with fundies that believe you should French kiss a rattle snake.. In the name of Jesus…I find it shallow to compare religious whack jobs with a fundamental doctrine of Christians…
I have found 90% of them decent people who believe deeply in Jesus and the world of Love and forgiveness..Not one has ever said to me..Hell hey man! Let’s get dem Jews to blow up the ME and we can get this party started!
Most of them I’ve ever met would step in front of a car for you in the Name of Jesus out of Love…You may think Christians are plotting the end of the world..But I don’t think so…
/Those guys kissing rattlesnake noses freak me out…That’s why I always tease Christians here…Creationists..
But I think the average Christian is OK in my book…
