THREAD: Tucker and Sen. Ted Cruz clash on Israel
X ^ | June 18 | Tucker Carlson

Posted on 06/18/2025 2:02:37 PM PDT by RandFan

@Antunes1

Ted Cruz tries to use the Bible to justify his support for Israel’s bombing of Iran.

Tucker Carlson destroys him 💀

REPLIES:

@GabeGwoolley

Christians are “Israel”. The Bible is not referring to a government or physical nation.

Romans 9:6–8

“Not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children… it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise…”

Just so we’re clear.

@GabeGwoolley

So Who Are the “Children of Promise”?

According to Paul:

•They are spiritual children of Abraham, not just physical ones.

•They are those who are part of God’s family because of His promise, which is ultimately fulfilled in Christ.

•In the broader context of Romans and Galatians, Paul applies this to Christians (both Jews and Gentiles) who have faith in Christ, not just ethnic Israel.

@shakarone_sol

This view wrongly claims the Church replaces physical Israel. Romans 9-11 affirms God's distinct covenant with ethnic Israel, promising their future restoration (Rom. 11:25-29). The "children of promise" include both spiritual heirs (believers) and physical Israel, not an exclusive replacement.

Yeah I saw that mildly amusing but this is a different discussion they had over his basis of support for Israel

Think pro football training camp. If you are an undrafted rookie and want to get noticed you get into a fight with a veteran. Coaches will look at your number, then there clipboard.

It’s true that many D.C. legislators like Cruz are thick-headed, having not yet concluded that the modern country that happens to be named Israel has no biblical significance.

I saw Tucker outing Cruz as a careless know nothing acting as my Texas senator in charge of telling the president to go to war/not to go to war

Not to be judgemental, is there anything else I need to spend my precious time on?

Yeah, stop pretending you’re from Texas or the US.

LOL. Tucker’s a dummy who is always dumb and he’s a paid agent of Muslims because he’s irrelevant, and dumb.

All modern countries have biblical significance

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen

Paid to do it too. I guess he forgot to ask how many Americans have been killed by their weapons, their I proxies, or their terrorism.

So God just keeps his covenant with you, but nor with Jews? You argue that you replaced the Jews, while Muslims argue that the replaced Christians. Israel is Israel and God gave it to the Jews for a possession.

👉 1/3 “Genesis 12:3 is a promise to Abraham and his offspring. Fulfilled by Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:16.

The New Testament defines Israel as the Church, not some government established in 1948.

Mr. Cruz, the “religion” you’re quoting is Zionism, not Christianity.

https://x.com/WhitlockJason/status/1935370691370496411

On top of this is Romans 9:6-8, Gal. 2:16, 4:9, and 1 Peter 2:9.

👉 2/3 The Apostlic Fathers and Early Church Fathers taught that the Church is Israel, and taught that a counterfeit would one day come.

The disciples of Jesus had disciples, which Jesus told them to make, and history records whom some of then are, we know of a couple, and some of their writings are left for us today.

Their writings, per being taught by Jesus’ disciples, clearly dont agree with Christian Zionism.

Even many evangelicals of all pepple are saying there’s no historical support for Christian Zionism.

👉 3/3 “Tel Aviv is the gayest most atheistic city on earth”

https://x.com/urbanarson/status/1895877502737997923

In conclusion, it would be illogical, and unfair, to say this represents all people there, but the significance of it, even in an eschatological context, cannot be ignored:

“Tel Aviv is the gayest most atheistic city on earth”

AI Overview:

“Revelation 11:8, the city that is spiritually called “Sodom” and “Egypt” is Jerusalem.”

(The city which politically allows everything in Isrel that transpires to occur).

Tucker destroying Ted Cruz is laughable. I do not not know who these other posters are that are referenced in it. I can tell you that if they had gone to Romans chapter 11 they would have the correct answer. God has not given up on His people from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. A blindness has overcome them that will soon be cured. This diatribe from Tucker is straight from the depths of hell. Maybe Tucker can explain why he is a registered agent for Qatar. Tucker need to have the light of the Holy Spirit descend on him and stay away from biblical teaching.

It is guidance that some here should follow.

I agree.

Tucker and all the preterists are welcome to hell.

I’m done with Bannon too, he just had to play the clip on the warroom and shit talk Bibi and Israel.

Screw all you preterists.

Carlson’s interview on Tuesday with alleged historian Darryl Cooper — like his interview in April with Reverend Munther Isaac, referenced in today’s flashbacks — was so much worse than merely glib or incurious.

Carlson chose to interview Cooper, whom he endorsed as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States” to learn exactly how World War II didn’t happen. According to Cooper — and Carlson nodded along the entire time — Winston Churchill was perhaps “the chief villain of the Second World War” and “primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did.”

It’s true that Hitler did not want or expect Britain to fight. He wanted Britain to acquiesce to German dominance of Europe from the Urals to Gibraltar and subsume the UK to Nazi interests. This is all a matter of historical record. Britain could fight or submit — that was Hitler’s choice, not Churchill’s.

FLASHBACK: Carlson chose to interview Isaac to find out how the Jewish State of Israel treats Christians. Isaac is a priest who neither lives nor works in Israel and who uses the loaded phrase “Occupied Palestine” as his location on his Twitter/X profile. He is a Palestinian Christian from Palestinian-controlled Bethlehem, where Christian ministers serve at the mercy of the Palestinian Authority.
