Ted Cruz tries to use the Bible to justify his support for Israel’s bombing of Iran.
Tucker Carlson destroys him 💀

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.

“So God just keeps his covenant with you, but nor with Jews?”
God kept his covenant with the Jews through Jesus Christ. The consistent belief of Christians from the beginning has been that Christians are themselves the new Israel. Jerome made this point in the 300s, Augustine in the 400s, Aquinas a thousand years later. And many others.

Holy Mother Church does not simply replace Israel.
She is Israel.
Our commie/nazi leftist mass media gives this Tucker fellow big black headline coverage all the time and for what? making a fool of himself advocating, propagandizing for the enemy that’s sworn several times to kill us.
the media needs to be cleaned up, it causes a great deal of damage back here on the home front sowing confusion, misinformation and outright enemy lies
Clown questions.
Hopefully the rest of the interview was more serious. The snippets weren't.
Fair enough.
Cruz did not say ‘clown questions’. He had no sense of humor about it. He was defensive and nasty
Tucker asked silly questions
At my job I have to know everything about every case I present, doing research every morning on what’s happening. Cruz is my senator. We pay him. He needs to do the homework required of anyone of us. He wants to talk about engaging with a country that he as congress member will vote for or against on our behalf he’d better know squat about that country
He knows less about it that any one of the back street boys I listen to on rumble
Even if true, not relevant to his exposure of Cruz.
Trump is fact checking Tucker’s assertions.
Bannon is a greaseball.
I’ve had a bit too much of Tucker and that’s not new. His annoying laughs at what he says distracts from whatever he’s talking about.
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen Tucker go as hard at anyone representing Hamas or other terror groups.
Genesis 12: And I will make a great nation from you, and will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. “I will also bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and in you shall all families of the Earth be blessed.”
“There is such a thing as ‘spiritual Israel.’ Spiritual Israel would refer to Jewish people who have trusted Jesus as their Messiah; but the Church is never called ‘spiritual Israel’... there is no textual or exegetical basis for... [the] belief that Galatians 6:16 teaches that the ‘Israel of God’ includes the church or Gentiles.” - Dr. Thomas Ice
Galatians 3:29 indicates that all believers in Christ, regardless of our ethnicity, are spiritually “Abraham’s seed.” But this doesn’t mean that all Christians are Israel.
“Galatians 3:7 and 29 do not say Israel has been replaced; they merely teach that people (Jewish or Gentile) who put their faith in Christ become partakers of the spiritual promises God made to Abraham. Paul affirmed this fact in 3:28 when He said, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, . . . for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” - Dr. Jim Showers

He holds the Bible high, and then he lies.
Lyin’ Ted.
The U.S gave the Jews Israel. God had nothing to do with it.
Qatar speaks through Tucker.
Tucker just apologized to Trump for being a little bitch, l9ke you should apologize to the whole board for being a whiny little troll wasting bandwidth.
The Church was founded by Jews, who remained Jewish. You replacmenttheilogy people spirtualize Israel’s promises. That is a lie.
