Thanks for the compliment. I do indeed believe that is why God caused Israel to be relocated in their land.

To the human way of thinking, Jesus being tortured and then dying on a cross seems like a screwy way to save makind. But that was God's plan for our salvation. I do not believe Pius was ANY KIND of a friend to the Jews. To suggest that the Israeli people would have even WANTED a homeland that was Biblically irrelevant to them is hard for me to understand.

Your note indicates to me that you consider Israel strictly from the p.o.v. of human geopolitics. The p.o.v. of Bible believing Christians is that Israel is part of God's plan of Redemption.

In Revelation He promised us that Israel would be back in their Land, the Land GOD gave them, at the end of the world. Pius wanted to thwart that. In effect, Pius wanted to thwart the prophesies in the book of Revelation. God rejected Pius's schemes. I leave it to your imagination as to what Bible believing Christians think of Pius and his motives.

Methinks you watch too much Jack Van Impe. Your criticism of Pius XII is based on a bogus interpretation of scripture, and equally false history. Perhaps a little more scholarship needs to be applied. But first, change your sources.
