No offence, but for us, for the Jews, the promised land was and will continue to be Israel.
Well for most of us :)
Sorry, should have clarified... I didn't mean it literally. I meant it in terms of the way the Israelites saw the Promised Land as the land of their deliverance in the Old Testament is the way much of the rest of the world sees the United States today.
Again, my apologies. I should have been clearer. I'd never try to claim Israel's position as G-d's literal, actual Promised Land for America.
in my church there is a jewish gentleman that attends every week with his methodist wife. he actively involves himself with our church and invites anyone to be a guest at his synogogue and home. to me its a reminder that we are all in this together and we need someone to watch our backs for us.
