You’re another lunatic.

God declared the land to be Israels. The only country in the world in which God set the borders.
Even if someone doesn't believe that, that's fine. Doesn't change anything. Let's say Israel took it, it's still theirs. Countries and nations have changed throughout history by people conquering other people and taking the land.
Cry about injustice all you want, life isn't fair and the Palestinians are unable to drive Israel out. Period.
The end.

Always considered Muhammad to be the first New Ager. He cobbled together Christianity, Judaism, and Arab paganism with a love message. Then set out to murder or enslave everyone who disagreed.

Somebody help me find Israel. I don't see it on here.

Nah. I grew up around conservative Christians. You’re full on with the wacky cuck version. It’s a weird fetish.

I bet you won’t believe that your book says the exact opposite of your comment if I just call you a dumbass, so I’ll post the inspired word of God for you here:

Deuteronomy 32:8-9, ESV

quote:

---

8When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. 9But the LORD’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage.

Also you’ll notice there are two gods mentioned here by name. El Elyon “god most high” and Yahweh “the LORD”. When the father god divided the nations and set their borders, he gave Israel to Yahweh to lord over those particular people. Yes the Israelites were polytheists.

Psalm 82 might be my favorite. It’s short, it complements Deut 32:8-9 very well, and it’s a great example of Israelite polytheism as it explicitly names El Elyon and Yahweh and also mentions the unnamed other gods multiple times.

Rescue the Weak and Needy A Psalm of Asaph. 1God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: 2“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah 3Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. 4Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” 5They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; 7nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.”a 8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations!
