I apologize for the lengthly post, it was an e-mail I received yesterday, and I did not feel there was any justice done by editing it.
My point of my post above is this: It is DANGEROUS to apply specific commands given to the NATION of Israel to OUR nation. WE have NO such promise; Israel STILL DOES.
The author is a Presbyterian minister who presumably believes that the nation of Israel is now the spiritual decendants of Abraham.
