[Phil V.]

. . . to compare the evil that took place on September 11 and the foundation of Christianity is ridiculous.

I did no such thing, Hope, and you KNOW it.

My observation dealt with evil based in faith . . . in the blasphemy - the HIGHEST form of blasphemy - which is using God's name to justify human evil.

The MURDERERS of 9/11 had faith. The suicide MURDERERS have faith. The settlers have faith.

Faith ought to be the foundation from which inner courage, peace, kindness . . . spring forth. Faith ought not be a "Land Deed" that is at odds with the "County Recorder".

[Cvengr]

I agree they had faith, but Satan also had faith in himself, rather than focusing that faith on God's will. For this reason their actions were still quite evil.

I agree with Hal in the article, although I'd go a bit further and state we're still in a time of the Gentiles. So although I believe in the Abrahamic Covenant and would rather be blessed 50 times over by supporting Israel, I also place priority on following God's will and plan in all things first. I believe one can both follow God's will and support Israel in that land, although I also recognize that for a period of time, Gentiles will prevail.
