Support Israel...How?

Can we talk about Israel?

Christians are adamant that the US should support Israel because the Bible indicates we should. I have no problem with that. The problem is HOW the pertinent scriptures are being interpreted.

* What does it mean to bless Israel?

* What does supporting Israel mean or look like?

* Do we have to give blind support?

* Do we have to "help" make God's promises regarding Israel come to past?

* Does supporting Israel mean we must join them in and/or approve of all aggressive or questionable actions?

Does God really need help fulfilling His Word regarding Israel? The Bible said Israel was His and He would fight for them. Even with that, He did not give them blind support. Israel was corrected when they refused to obey Him and His precepts/principles.

Personally, I bless--ask for God's favor upon--Israel and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. That's biblical instructions.

Israel, America, family, friends, anybody operating against the principles and Word of God, I can't support it because neither does He...

Just keepin' it real...

The Confessions of Mae B. Yew I've Got a Man! June 03, 2010 The last time we spoke I was sportin’ a goose egg on my forehead (compliments of Momma). If you missed my last confession, you can find it at Momma and the Goose Egg . Shortly after I lost my mind and blew up at Momma, I apologized because I was wrong. I don’t know how ya’ll were raised, but I was taught to never ever disrespect my momma. Do you know what she did? Momma kissed my goose egg and said, “Baby, I’m sorry I put this thing on your beautiful face.” She hugged me real tight, and her gardenia perfume drifted over me in a loving, fragrant cloud. That was sweet wasn’t it? Wait. There’s more. Then she said, “But if you ever speak to me like that again, I’ll knock you into tomorrow, then love on ya just like this when you come to.” What can I say? That’s my momma. Enough about Momma and my goose egg. Ya’ll, I’ve got a man! When I became a Christian, I’m not sure what happened. Men of substance stopped coming near me, an...
