re: Ted Cruz just said he wants God's blessing so he supports Israel. Do you agree?

God's blessings flow in the forms of campaign contributions, not siccing the media on you, and not publicizing whatever skeletons Mossad knows are in your closet. Very holy.

I respect the Jewish genetic line as indeed being blessed with extraordinary spiritual and worldly abilities. And that bloodline spread into Europe and likely into my own blood. One could say that is “chosen but that don’t mean they are flawless. The Canaanites and Abraham sacrificed children on an altar and the Jews rejected and hung Jesus. And “to whom much is given much is required “. They have rejected the Mercy of Christ so they have a karmic debt to pay. I can not object to that. It’s their baby to rock. Whether we choose to ally with them against hegemonic Islam, and to what degree is another matter. To each their own.

John 3:16 says nothing about Israel.

I sorta prefer the new covenant idea-all nations and people are blessed and can partake in the Eucharist.

Genesis ch 12
12 And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and out of thy father's house, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed.

3 I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and IN THEE shall all the kindred of the earth be blessed:


Matthew ch 1
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham:

...

16 And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations, from Abraham to David, are fourteen generations. And from David to the transmigration of Babylon, are fourteen generations: and from the transmigration of Babylon to Christ are fourteen generations.

18 Now the generation of Christ was in this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost.

19 Whereupon Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing publicly to expose her, was minded to put her away privately.

20 But while he thought on these things, behold the angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost.

21 And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins.

22 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which the Lord spoke by the prophet, saying:

23 Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

24 And Joseph rising up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him, and took unto him his wife.

25 And he knew her not till she brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Galatians 3:16
16 To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not, And to his seeds, as of many: but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

The Almighty isn't talking about the nation state of israel, He's talking about the line of Abraham. He's talking about the Messiah.

dispensationalism is heretical garbage.

Me too, BC. “Judgment begins with the house of God”. And there are many Scriptures which back up your preference and mine. It’s in the heart and one ‘s intent and basic character. “Lest ye be as a child…”.

I guess Jesus didn’t get the memo.

Just look at history and what has happened to those that screwed Israel. The Bible said the people of Israel are His people and the land of Israel is God's land. God isn't mocked. Jew haters beware.

Raphael "the Zodiac killer" Cruz is always trying to make us forget he was born outside the US. His father was laying low after a little covert operation he conducted on Nov 22 1963.

Israel not Jacob.

Jacob became Israel by faith.

It is Israel that is chosen not Jacob.

Spirituality is individual, not collective.

Anyone thinking otherwise needs some self reflection.

How about there are aspects of both individual and collective?
