“The very premise that the Holy Land is ‘off-limits’ is a modern political idea, not a biblical one. The Bible never says God's promises are nullified by human border controls. In fact, the exile and diaspora proved that God's word stands even when His people are not in the land. The promise was never about uninterrupted physical access to dirt, but about God's faithfulness to His covenant, which finds its ultimate ‘Yes’ in Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:20).”AI what to make of this... she's not getting it ^

How to cut through it
You don’t need to let her move the goalposts. You can reply:
“Racism is the point, because the ADL chart literally applies opposite standards to two groups. That’s a double standard by definition. And the Bible doesn’t give anyone a race-based pass — in fact it says the promises are fulfilled in Christ (Gal. 3:16, 28). If you think Jerusalem cancels that, you’re making Scofield’s notes outrank the Word itself.”
You're assuming the biblical promises about Jerusalem are primarily about real estate. But Scripture itself reframes them around Christ. He is the true Temple (John 2:19-21), and the New Jerusalem—the city we eagerly await—comes down out of heaven from God (Revelation 21:2). To insist that ancient land promises, which were shadows, invalidate the substance we have in Christ is to miss the entire point of the gospel.
