Now, if somebody wants to switch gears and resort to the Bible to make the claim that "Israel rightfully belongs to the Jews," so be it.

Yeah, that would be me.

Well, I'm a "Bible-believing Christian" myself -- i.e., I am a disciple (if a poor one) of Jesus who believes that the Bible is the inspired word of God -- and I would disagree with that particular view/interpretation of what the Bible says with respect to this matter.

But that's fine, as far as I'm concerned, since I consider this to be an issue that is not central to the faith, that is not central to the Gospel. And so I would not wish to divide with a fellow believer who takes a different view.

What concerns me at present is that I've started to see any number of professing believers who appear to be willing to divide with me over the issue of Israel. That's unfortunate but so be it. I'd be the first to say that I consider Dispensationalist eschatology to be ludicrous poppycock, clearly a false teaching that has its unfortunate roots in Darbyite "dual covenant" heresy.

Nevertheless, I'm prepared to be charitable on this matter with those believers who extent to me the same courtesy.
