This was posted as a reply into another thread tonight and I thought it should be posted as a thread by itself--would make for a great discussion.

Tucker represents Qatar.

The Bible is not even in his top 10,000 of thoughts.

Am deeply disappointed by Mr. Carlson, whose strident defense of conservative values I once admired.

He is more than merely "off the beam"; I strongly suspect that he has been suborned.

Regards,

No, everybody knows that Israel is a continuation of the ancient Aztec civilization but with the admixture of some space aliens from the third moon of Uranus

Comment: I respect and applaud all those who try to reason with the antisemites of this world. It is almost always such a thankless task. 90 percent of antisemites never reform or repent of their evil ways. It’s like Satanic possession

I love this editorial and I'll read and reread it.

One initial potential critisim I have is this:

"It would be naive to suggest that it is merely an accident of history..."

Christians should never believe that there are ANY "accidents" of history. God is equally and utterly sovereign of ALL of history whether it was the tower of Siloam, the murder of the Messiah, the stoning of Stephen, the destruction of Jerusalem, Messada, the Diaspora, millenia of hatred and persecution Jewish people, the Inquisition, the pograms, the Holocaust, the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and October 7th.

God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven!

John 10
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father

(there’s no explanation for the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 other than Biblical Prophecy)

Yes, absolutely.

Those who war against Israel 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 are foolish. The Lord God has plans.

He WILL NOT be dissuaded.

Even if one does not follow and assent to the argument that modern day Israel is the same nation as the OT Israel proclaimed by the Almighty, it does not matter.

They as a people and nation are, right here and now, before and after 1948, innocent of anything besides defending themselves from annihilation.

It goes without saying nothing they have done warrants or justifies in any way the persecution dealt out by the rest of the world over the centuries, mostly by the Moose Limbs, but by plenty of others, too.

Needless to say, the contributions of Jewish people to the world are outstanding, disproportionate to their number, to the extent that it appears preternatural to anyone with a lick of sense.

And anyone who reads the OT and NT with even a casual degree of attention sees this and knows it.

What about people who are cracking on Israel at this point in time: They are wrong, they are rednecks, they are anti-Semites, but worse, they are ingrates, they are not gentlemen, they are not fair, and they are not appreciative of what others have done.

As far as Carlson goes, he's a sad case. He's obviously one of these strange, mediocre people, cute, connected, brought up by an affluent family that is likewise rich in obscure connections, influence, and praise and notoriety FAR beyond anything they have done in their two-dimensional, predictable lives. Part of these peoples' pedigrees includes condescension if not hostility to Jewish people, which is, if you think about it, comical.

Sorry, I committed the main sin of FR: I did not see the two intellectual giants Carlson and Cruz in their Battle of the Giant Brains. I had to wash my hair instead.

Jeremiah 31:35-37
King James Version

35 Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name:

36 If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

37 Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.

Ed went to be with the Lord in 2022.

That red string he wears around his wrist is to ward off the evil eye. I guess he doesn’t trust God enough.

I was told by a rabbinic scholar (Rabbi Daniel Lapin) that in G-D’s original language (Hebrew) there is NO word or concept for “coincidence.”

Thank you Jim. I think your words above were truly inspired by the Holy Spirit. I have listened to other people try to explain the question , but yours is the clearest answer I have ever heard.

Recently I was in a discussion with friends about this same question and trying to defend Israel and the commandment to honor them, to love them and support them. Sad to say I just didn’t have the words to make them understand. I am printing out your words and will share them. Again, thank you and may God continue to bless you.

---- "...posted as a thread by itself--would make for a great discussion."

When pondering various versions of today's events, one line comes back often to mind. "But about that day and about that hour no one knows, not even the Angels of Heaven, but The Father alone."

Given that as frame for a discussion on a thread, the whole Carlson-Cruz silliness seems from a number of perspectives, silly. Not well thought out by either Cruz, a politician, nor Carlson, a talking head. Not a venue for discussing matters of other than political belief.

Cantor, as a "Messianic Jew" according to some of his other web pages, asks rhetorically "...Tucker, why are you so hostile to the Jewish people?" It is a question to which likely Carlson will never respond.

Cantor questions "Is Modern Israel Biblical Israel?" In of itself, that too seems inept. Why? Because "nation" in the narrative of Abraham is not our modern notion, with borders and flags and all. Moreover, depending on which perspective one uses as a lens through which to look "darkly," and using Freepers as a small population sample, the definition is different, Orthodox to Roman Catholic to mainstream Protestants to various schismatic groups and even single "independent" churches, not to exclude the Seventh Day Adventists who may be found among Freepers too. Among Freepers, one sees all of these represented alongside Jews and the secular as well. Cantor proposes his reply. There are other replies possible.

While Cantor quotes Matthew, the above quote is also found in that book. It is well worth heading, as one watches sometimes heated contention between denominations and religions, between those who defend a view like "rapture" and those who reject it, like those who practice "aliyah" as did Cantor and those who will never do so. Like those who debate consubstantiation versus transubstation. Like those who see our United States and Britain as Ephraim and Manasseh and those who do not. Like those who.... A list of disagreements would be very long.

I have had the privilege of being twice in Israel for some extended periods. There I met and enjoyed the company of some Orthodox and Catholics and Protestants and Jews, and visited churches and synagogues. Rather like a representation of Freepers on this forum. I contended NOT with them over issues of faith. Doctrinal differences seem not easily "solved" when two or three sides quote the same text but with different readings thereof.

The frame which seems most apt as advice as well all navigate the waters of belief and belief statements remains:

But about that day and about that hour no one knows, not even the Angels of Heaven, but The Father alone.

We all have our own and individual conundrum with --- "until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished."

Best wishes.
