Now that’s where we differ again. Sorry if I come a bit harsh again but I gotta be blunt; I do recall you calling yourself a Christian. Is it some form of progressive Christianity? Anyway that’s not my business.
Just to reiterate that Jews are God’s chosen people and us Gentiles are BOUND BY THE BIBLE to bestow upon Jews all the love and help we could possibly amass; and it still wouldn’t be enough because we’re all original sinners and fallen from God’s grace. But by being kind and loving to Jews, we really earn some reputation points in God’s divine game. The Bible says it. I firmly believe God has two separate plans – one being fulfilled through the Church for all Christians who have faith in Jesus, the other through Israel.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m aware of the atrocities committed by Israeli soldiers on Palestinian civilians but it would be far easier for them to relocate to another portion of land in the Middle-East, convert to Christianity if they want to stay in the Holy Land (they already have Gaza and West Bank). But God’s chosen people are here to stay.
I like your statement where you say almost 300 million Americans are Jews. As if it’s not a good thing; one reason for the prosperity and success of America (I know that’s a strong statement but compared to so many countries, America is still Heaven on Earth).
Yours in Christ

Christian Zionism is frankly heretical.
Christians in Israel are treated like shit by the Jews, most of whom hate Christians. Most Israeli Jews even hate all Gentiles. It’s a nasty place, brings out the worst in the Jew. Israel is nothing but a gigantic ghetto. Want to fix the Jew? Bring him out of the ghetto! This was the motto of early 19th century progressives across the board.
Jews and Gentiles agreed that centuries in the ghetto had horribly damaged the Jew. To bring the Jew out of his prison, to assimilate and integrate him into Christian society, was always the progressive project. Aliyah is a return to the ghetto. Jews who make aliyah leave human society and go live in the biggest Jewish ghetto on Earth.
I am not much of a Christian, the most secular Christian you will ever meet.
Christian Zionism is heresy, a heresy created in the mid 1800′s by British theologians.
Replacement theology is what I practice and believe in. It is very popular with Palestinian Christians. Jews complain that Replacement theology is anti-Semitic, and, well, it is. The sad truth is that Christianity itself, in particular the New Testament, has always been anti-Semitic. Even Jesus himself was a self-hating Jew. Who threw the money-changers out of the temple? Yeshua himself.
And you are correct. Of course there are 300 million Jews in America. Most if not all American Gentiles are frankly Jews in spirit if not in fact. 150 years ago, Karl Marx said that America will become the first Jewish country, and of course he was correct. On the other hand, if you hate Jews, you need to hate nearly all of your fellow Americans too, so anti-Semites may wish to think twice.
