Then I’d say they’re not reading their Bibles. God is, shall we say, very big on Israel.
I just support the civilized over the barbarian every time.
And that does not mean I expect the civilized to be perfect either. Life is an imperfect thing. But I can not take the side of people who deliberately bake babies.
SMH.
Then 73% of U.S. “Christians” are on very dangerous ground with the Father.
Genesis 12:1-3 NASBS
Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; [2] And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; [3] And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Without the Word, Israel would mean as much to me as Indonesia does.
It’s only the Word that makes it different.
Do their bibles omit almost the whole bible? How about Romans9-11?
Probably because 73% of self proclaimed Christians never read the Bible
73% of American Christians don’t read their Bibles.
baloney research - “Lifeway Research - Enlightening Churches with Research...” that’s from their website.
means they are pushing an agenda.
That’s really sad.
How many American Christians are familiar with the Hebrew scriptures? It’s really easy in this culture to classify the Old Testament as similarly relevant as some view the old dead white guys who founded the USA. “In the beginning blahblahblah...just skip to the Jesus part.”
The Christian Church IS the true Israel.
Whenever I see poll results that categorize responses by “religion” and include “Christian”, I am reminded that there are many people who IDENTIFY themselves as Christian but have only a minimal understanding of what that means - and their world view has certainly not been much influenced by Scripture, prayer, or the counsel of true believers.
We have many of these right in this forum, IYKWIM.
