Title: Holy Land!
Post by: Ephraim Ben Noach on September 13, 2012, 09:13:19 PM
This is for the Christians... Alot of the the time when I'm talking to Christians in the Midwest they don't seem to care so much for the Holy Land or Israel as I believe they should. Some have said that the temple does not matter because Jesus is the temple, is that right? I am not trying to start a fight I want to know how to combat this!

Jesus wasn't a temple. Everyone's body is, but only metaphorically. Get rid of replacement theology, where half the bible is thrown in the garbage, and everything G-d says about the land of Israel stays true. Plenty of verses that show Israel's importance.

I am serious Christians! Why is Israel important to Christians? From a gnostic point of view Solomon's Temple is the holiest place on earth! Why should Protestant and Catholic Christians stick up for Israel?

Ephraim it does not matter much. If they want to believe some human is the Temple I say let them (those individuals you spoke to and think this way). Let them think what they like its even better. Just leave the land of Israel to the Jews and that's all and not have their influence and footprint unto the land of Israel.

Some of us believe that promises were made by God to the Jewish people and God hasn't rescinded those promises.

7th day Adventists believe that, but I don't know much about their dogma.
