Israel’s ambassador to the UK, Daniel Taub, condemned on Thursday a report by the Church of Scotland that questioned the divine right of Jews to the land of Israel.

Taub said the document “negates and belittles the deeply held Jewish attachment to the land of Israel in a way which is truly hurtful.” …

The church paper, entitled “The Inheritance of Abraham,” which was published online by the Church and Society Council of the Church of Scotland just days before its May 18 General Assembly, selectively highlights scriptural and theological claims of Jews to the land, and rejects verses in which the land is promised to the children of Abraham. …

Revisionism to meet their own political goals is standard for the mendicant Left. They do the same when it comes to the homosexual agenda. God forbids it in as clear language as one could ask for and the Left, in an example of illogic if there ever was one, say God would not have created me in a way that allows me to engage in homosexuality. Duh. To the narcissistic homosexual: God is not happy with any of the sins you commit.

I don't think it is fair to blame all Scots for the CoS.

There are very, very few Scots who attend the Presbyterian church of Scotland and it's close to dead

In fact in Scotland iirc, each Sunday there are more attendees for Catholic masses and then in 2nd position are Friday mosque attendees. the CoS is #3

Scotland’s got Scum? When did they allow those Muslims in?

And why?

Scotland is not wealthy enough to be importing welfare class scum, IIRC.

Yes, we have plenty of native scum, sadly.

The Muslim pop of Scotland started like the rest ofthe UK with the influx in the 50’s. The Muslim population of the UK wasnt a problem until the late 80’s and the Salman Rushdie scandal. The population of Muslims in Scotland is 0.9%. 90% of that concentrated in one city (Glasgow) where they make up 4% of the city population.

A societal cancer beyond any question, yet still small enough to be easily excised.

According to traditional Christian thinking, the prophecies of the return of the Jewish homeland tof the Jews occurred after the Babylonian exile. It was only in America in the 19th century when some Christians bought into the Zionist propaganda which spread quickly throughout America and to Great Britain as well. Prior to that time, virtually all Christians understood that the covenant with the Jews had long expired at the time of Christ, being replaced by a new covenant which was not based solely on bloodline but on faith. Thus the early Church in its hymns called itself “the new Israel”. Protestantism distorted this teaching (like so many other teachings), which led to the US and Britain’s support of the forming of the modern state of Israel in the 1940s, and the Middle East has been a bloody mess ever since.
