Should Christians Bless Israel?
@elston_ Yes! Christians are champions of peace, and as per their own book, forbidden to kill people. They should love and bless everyone including their enemies.
Now, you tell me how many true christians there are in the world! 😎
Very few.
@elston_ This is the truth! To me, it has always been fascinating to think about, that given the amount of christiansin the world, let's say a billion or so, it seems like none of them ever read the bible.
I mean the pope? Jesus Christ (pun intended!)! He has his own country and travels in his own private jet.
For me it is pretty difficult to come up with a worse image of gods representative on earth, given what Jesus was teaching.
There are some Christians and churches that reject the "Just War Theory". Certainly it has been over embraced by American Evangelicals.
Early Christian Fathers expressed strong reservations about Christians participating in violence or military service. Many then (& Anabaptists today) saw warfare as incompatible with the teachings of Jesus Christ, especially ideas like “turn the other cheek.”
This documentary/drama had a big impact on my own thinking.
