What valuable point might that be?

Even "indigenous" people came from somewhere else. Regardless, birthright citizenship only became part of the U.S. Constitution in 1868 to ensure that former slaves born in the U.S. would be considered citizens. It has outlived its purpose and usefulness, there's no reason to keep it.

I wasn't trying to make an argument or imply everyone who calls themselves a nationalist is a Nazi. You should know by now which side of the political aisle I'm on. I was just pointing out there's a difference between patriotism and nationalism. The Founders never called themselves nationalists...

Ziggy, the kind of ultranationalism that Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan had was not healthy and led to bad outcomes. I just think patriotism is more fitting and avoids those negative connotations. But if you prefer to call yourself a nationalist, that's your choice.

I'm a Christian and a patriot, but I don't think of myself as a Christian nationalist. People use patriotism and nationalism interchangeably, but there is a difference. George Orwell actually said it best: The American Founders were also patriots, the term "nationalist" had not even been...

The problem with birthright citizenship is it can be easily exploited, and it has been (i.e., birth tourism, for example). Most of those countries that allow it are not countries where people would prefer to live if given the choice, so it negatively affects them far less. But they do want to...

A couple of thoughts... 1. This guy is a Muslim, so of course, he hates Israel. As far as colonization, Islam is one of the biggest colonizers out there. They colonized the entire Middle East, North Africa, and parts of southern Europe before they were kicked out. And they're still back at it...

@ScottA Getting back on track. Isn't that what you're doing, arbitrarily applying something John said to Jews today? If all things be spiritual, then what things be literal? It was prophesied and hinted at in the Old Testament that the Messiah would come from the tribe of Judah, be born of a...

It's not an issue of special treatment; it's an issue of reconciliation. I could go into it prophetically, but I doubt you would still receive it. Sure, I'm not arguing for corporate salvation. I am arguing that he will deal with them corporately as a people. Also, it's not an issue with them...

Luther, I posted here by mistake, but okay. You said the rabbis are modern Pharisees. I don't necessarily disagree with that. The point that I was trying to make to ScottA is God is not done with them because of it. They are the prodigal son, but I believe a prophesied redemption is coming. And...

That's getting back into the realm of conspiracies. They didn't actually create anything. They tried, but it was rejected by the Arabs. The British eventually packed up their bags and left when the British Mandate expired. The state of Israel only exists because the Jews fought a war and won...

@ScottA I posted my response in the wrong in the wrong thread, my mistake.

I’ve seen that verse misused so many times. John was talking about a specific group of Jewish opponents during his day. It wasn't meant to be a condemnation all or some Jews living today. The whole world is under the control of the evil one (1 John 5:19). Both Satan and the world are in...

And does God not use men to accomplish His will on earth? God used Joseph's brothers evil intentions to get Joseph into position to save Israel from feminine. He used the Persians and King Cyrus to return the Jews home from their Babylonian exile. God can use whomever He wants for His express...

"True" Israel is a modern, contrived term not found in Scripture. So, let's think about this logically. If God did not want the modern state of Israel to exist, would it? If it is a Satanic invention, why is the whole world against it? Is Satan not the god of this world (2Co 4:4)? If so, then...

Sounds like you're talking about the Khazar theory. I have addressed that before here. These accusations are always wrapped in conspiracy theories. But how do you know any of it is true? Perhaps some I could believe, but not others.

What evidence do you have of that?

A lot better than Muslims, that's for sure.

It is the view of restorationists. Most of the Jewish religious groups in the first century AD believed the soul survived death, including the Pharisees, Christians, and Essenes. The only one that didn't was the Sadducees, but they didn't believe in a resurrection or a spirit world either. The...

It's not science fiction; even science makes allowances for extra dimensions. String theory requires 10 or 11 dimensions to work. I don't think it necessarily has to have a supernatural explanation, which is really just a catchphrase to try and explain the unexplainable. There are plausible...
