Christian Perspectives on Israel Support

And it is Christians support the government of Israel?

We are commanded to support Israel.

I, I know the verse that Tucker Carlson's talking about in

Genesis actually doesn't

say Israel. It says that those who bless you, Abraham,

this was before Israel, will be blessed by God,

and those who curse you,

Abraham,

will be cursed by God. Jesus

demystifies who the children of Abraham

actually are, and Paul absolutely clarifies it.

"For not all who are born into the nation of Israel are truly

members of God's people." Well, that sounds like it contradicts what Ted

Cruz

just said. "Being descendants of Abraham doesn't make

them truly Abraham's

children."

It sounds like he's saying not all of Israel is really

Israel just because they're Jewish.

Israel didn't have a nation or a land

to call their own for almost 2,000 years since the destruction of the

temple in the year 70 AD. The

nation of Israel was recreated through

some political operatives after World War II.

So in that almost 2,000-year period, what did it even

mean to bless Israel or to curse Israel?

There was no Israel per se. I think the scripture makes it

clear that it's about whether you're blessing or

cursing the true children of Abraham, those who believe

the promises of the gospel.
