Forgive the caps, only used them to differentiate between PS95 and my responses.

"Ok and you surely were a Christian a year ago? So please try not to condemn others who think the same as you recently did. Make sense?!!..."
YES, I'VE BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR MOST OF MY LIFE. AND, I DO NOT SEE HOW I'M CONDEMNING ANYONE, JUST WANTING MY FELLOW MEMBERS TO ACTUALLY LOOK INTO ALL AVENUES AND I PRAY FOR DISCERNMENT FOR ALL OF US. NO, I'M NOT SAYING THAT THE ARABS ARE JEWS, JUST THAT THEY HAVE BEEN IN THAT LAND FOR MILLENIA, INDIGINOUS PEOPLE...HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED INTO THE HISTORY OF THE "NAKBA", OR THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF PALASTINE IN 1948. WHOLE TOWNS AND VILLAGES WERE DESTROYED, MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN WERE TOSSED LIKE GARBAGE OUT OF THEIR HOMELAND. I NO LONGER BELIEVE THE MODERN CHURCHES AS THEY HAVE BEEN FED THE TALKING POINTS AND THE FEAR MONGERING OF ONLY ONE SIDED AND WE ARE TO JUST ACCEPT WHAT THEY SAY WITHOUT QUESTION. HOW CAN ANYONE EVEN FORM AN OPINION WITHOUT WEIGHING THE CLAIMS OF ALL SIDES?
I'm familiar with Rev 2 & 3 where Jesus said that to the churches Smyrna & Phila.
“I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.- Rev 2:9
They were blaspheming Christ- (see also James 2:7)"
SO, ARE JESUS'S LETTERS TO THE CHURCHES IN REVELATION ONLY MEANT FOR THAT TIME, AND NOT FOR THE CHURCHES OF TODAY?
I WOULD DISAGREE.
JAMES 2:7- THIS CRITICZES THE RICH AND WELL OFF OF OPPRESSING THE POOR, INCLUDING CHRISTIANS, HENCE IT IS BLASPHEMY
"Those Jews were particularly rough in Smyrna- even up til the time when Polycarp (bishop of Smyrna) was martyred.-AD 155- They led it and called for him to be thrown to the lions and carried the wood for the fire to burn him. --- The church in Smyrna in Rev had been heavily persecuted for their faith by the Jews (tribulations)- and were poor due to spoils taken,(poverty) and it was in the synagogues where they heard the reviling Of Christ..."
"A Jew is not someone who simply is a descendant- but inwardly, spiritually of the true circumcision..."
YES, I'M VERY AWARE OF THIS.
GALATIANS 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female; for you⁺ are all one in Christ Jesus." I BELIEVE THIS IS THE TRUE ISRAEL OF GOD, ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST AS THE MESSIAIH, NOT THE PHYSICAL LAND ITSELF.
"I can't begin to imagine how your friend could go from that to somehow- Palestinian Muslims are really Jews. Did I miss something?"
WHAT SHE BELIEVES IS THAT THE JEWS IN ISRAEL TODAY ARE ASHKENAZI JEWS WHOS ANCESTORS WERE FROM Germany, FRANCE AND EASTERN EUROPE.
"I only know that I've read that Josephus wrote that the Arabs are Hagar/Ishmael's descendants..."
I DO BELIEVE THAT THE ARABS DESCENDED FROM ISHMAEL AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THEY BELIEVE, ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS THAT DO NOT BELIEVE JESUS WAS THE MESSIAH ARE IN THE VERY SAME BOAT. AS YOU WILL SEE, IF YOU SINCERELY SEARCH NOT JUST ONE-SIDED STUDYING BUT, ALL OF THEM YOU WILL SEE THAT MANY ORTHODOX JEWS, WHO ARE AGAINST THE SLAUGHTERING OF THE MUSLIMS AND BELIEVE THAT THE 1948 Nakba WAS NOT BIBLICAL NOR WAS IT GOD TELLING THEM TO KILL THEIR NEIGHBORS. THEY BELIEVE THAT THE JEWS ARE SUPPOSED TO WAIT FOR THEIR MESSAIAH BEFORE GOING BACK TO JERUSELUM. "THE 3 OATHS"
"The first oath is, "shelo yaalu bachoma," that the Jews should not forcibly, "break through the wall," and enter Eretz Yisrael. The second is that the Jews should not rebel against the nations. The third is that the nations of the world should not oppress Yisrael too much over the course of the exile. According to R. Zera, there are three additional oaths which relate to the ultimate redemption. The Gemara concludes with the threat that if Israel violates these oaths, their flesh will be made free like wild animals in the field, i.e., Hashem would bring upon them great suffering and physical destruction.
The Satmar Rebbe, Rav Yoel Teitelbaum, claims in "Vayoel Moshe" that Hashem brought about the Holocaust because the Zionist movement caused the Jews to violate the "Three Oaths." Since the Jewish people forcefully went to resettle Eretz Yisrael, Hashem brought upon them massive destruction, as the Gemara warns in its conclusion."

"That's why I don't pay attention to the media."
THE ONLY PLACE I GET MY NEWS FROM IS A SITE CALLED "GROUND NEWS" WHICH GIVES THE LEFT, THE RIGHT, AND THE CENTER AS WELL AS THE PERCENTAGES OF THEIR COVERAGE ON ANY ONE TOPIC. THAT IS THE ONLY PLACE I GET NEWS. CABLE "NEWS" IS SO VERY BIASED.
AND YES, I AM QUITE AWARE OF THE UN AGENDA, ALSO THE VERY MANY PRESIDENTS HAVE ALSO SIGNED ONTO THE NOAHIDE LAWS, AND THEY ARE ALREADY CHOOSING THEIR HANDPICKED JUDGES...THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER SUBJECT.
THE Bahia faith IS JUST ANOTHER FALSE RELIGION AND, JUST ABOUT EVERY PERSON I'VE KNOWN IN MY LIFE ARE ALL ABOUT THE ECUMENICAL BELIEFS, NOTHING THAT WE DID NOT KNOW ALREADY, THE ENEMY HAS THREADED HIMSELF INTO HUMANITY SINCE DAY ONE, AND HE IS NOT GIVING BIRTH TO CENTURIES OF CULMINATED LIES AND DECEIT. YES, IT IS VERY APARENT THAT THE ENEMY HAS ALREADY INFILTRATED EVERY SINGLE THING AND HAS DECEIVED THE MASSES, AND IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE FROM HERE.
I LEARNED ABOUT THE ONE WORLD RELIGION BACK IN 1991 AND HAVE BEEN VERY INTERESTED IN ESCOTOLOGY SINCE. ONE WORLD GOVT, JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND MONETARY SYSTEM...DROVES OF PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY CHRISTIANS, WILL BE LED ASTRAY BY THE PROPAGANDA THEY HAVE BEEN FEEDING US FOR WELL OVER A HUNDRED YEARS. LOOK AT THE ROTHCHILD FAMILY AND HOW IT ALL BEGAN WITH DISPENSATIONALISM, LIES, AND MANIPULATION. THIS IS WAY TOO VAST A SUBJECT TO EVEN BEGIN TO DISCUSS IT.
IV'E WRITTEN ENOUGH AS YOU HAVE BROUGHT UP SO MANY DIFFERENT SUBJECTS.
GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
PEACE!
