Robert Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Holy Land? What an oxymoron! This land means nothing, but yet we have Christians backing the Jews as they continue take more land from the Palestinians. Why? They claim it's their land - that they are God's people. In the days of Christ a Gentile was looked down as a dog. Not much has changed. Anytime you single out one ethic group above another there you have division and strife. The Jews are no more God's people than the Palestinians. Quote
Clio Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Why do you say the Holy Land is an oxymoron and has no meaning? Are you saying that all the OT prophecies pertaining to the land of Israel and the Jews have been fulfilled and are of no consequence? Quote A heart where He alone has first place.
Amelia Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 The land, in and of itself, is not Holy,IMHO. But when someone uses the term "Holy Land" most people automatically think of the places Jesus spent His life and mission.

Ron Amnsn Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Robert, What sources do you use to support the notion that Gentiles were considered as "dogs" by the Jews? Dr. Mark Nanos has pretty much debunked that idea by examining all the Jewish source documents to see what they really say. See http://www.marknanos.com/Phil3Dogs-Reverse-6-27-07.pdf . Quote
Ron Amnsn Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Robert, What Scripture references would you use to show that God has reneged on his promise to give the land of Israel to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob forever? Quote
