Don’t intend or need to turn this into another biblical thread but that passage is not contradictory. Yep, I’m bailing on this thread. Quickly.

Salty i could point out every contradiction in the Bible - which I resolve in my mind through inaccurate translation or historical context - and i have not doubt you’d lovingly curb stomp me with some kind of explanation that would hurt my head. If we cant listen to others peoples pov’s, what’s the point of discussing at all?

My take on the middle east is that Two lines of descendants of Abraham claim that God himself promised their line the Promised land. Both feel they are entitled to the land, both believe they got it from God, and neither side will accept any government authority over God Himself. Therefore, the only entity who can resolve this dispute once and for all is God. Not the UN, the US, Hamas, PLO, or anybody else. History is replete with nations attacking Israel and failing. Do I believe the Jews (Israel) are Gods chosen people, protected from annihilation by a covenant with God? Yes. Do they have a different deal to salvation outside of Jesus? Yes. I believe Jesus is our one and only path to salvation and eternal life in Heaven. Do I believe in Gods covenant with Israel? Yes. It is not something I totally understand but I trust God more than man. Do you ever question why,,, your religion aligns with a certain way of interpreting the Bible and, your politics but,,, not with the words of Jesus? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be Jesus circa 30-33 AD. I’m sure it was repeated many times back in the day. First century and all that. And second. Actually all 21. So not sure where you would accept a quote “lifted” from. No worries. As I have said before, you don’t have to believe me. Just ask God when you arrive at the Judgement Seat. Jesus will be there also. He might even give you an authentic original quote for you to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And nobody knows less about right wing politics than you. Thanks for playing though. 🤦♂️ That is a broad brush you are painting with. It also happens to be totally off base. Nancy Pelosi is one of the most devout members of Congress. She simply doesn't believe in the country being some form of theocracy. It isn't the place of Christians to judge the faith of other Christians. Religion has been being used since the beginning of recorded history to control and divide people. We have a constitution with a stated purpose of not having the government endorse a religion. It doesn't say "except when it is more convenient to do so."
