I don't deem it under my authority(above my pay grade) as to who is or who is not the “Chosen People”. I leave that to God and the Jewish people themselves.

But accepting those in charge of Israel are the Chosen People, show me the verse(s) why as an Christian, I morally must support the modern state of Israel above any other modern state.

I am told to have faith in the saving Grace by the Blood of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior and to help my fellow man, both spiritually and physically to share the Good News but why does this convert(no pun intended) into the political support of the modern state of Israel?

As I said previously, maybe it's poor research on my part but I cannot any Bible based reason.

Please help me if you can.

If this point is ambiguous to you, then I submit it is more a question of will than documentation. A close analogy would be those who wish to embrace Christ, but also wish the embrace the prevailing pro-homosexual ethos.

Furthermore, I submit that your subtle change in stating the question "...why as an Christian, I morally must support the modern state of Israel above any other modern state" evinces an attempt to "ramp up" the question from "faith" to "loyalty" so as to conflate embracing the former with erosion of the latter.

Therefore, I seems to my your profession of uninformed neutrality is rather questionable.

As I noted above, one can not read Romans 10 and 11, as well as the prophesies of Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Daniel, and remain neutral on the place of modern Israel anymore than one can read Romans 1 and pose as "open-minded" on the role of homosexuality.

A critical survey of his exposition on the Book of Daniel by Chuck Missler would be a good start.
