Oh sorry about that.. That's funny because both my great grandparents on both sides of my family were Jews too. I even got the nose to prove it. LOL

Yes.. We need to give it time however.. Christianity in my book is actually Judaism. Yeshua (Jesus) and all the disciples were Jews. ALL of them to the core... Unfortunately when the gentiles got a hold of it they corrupted much of it with their pagan religion.

What I mean to say is that we have 2 thousand years of corruption to unwind. Therefore I really don't blame Jews for not identifying with it from the get go.. In fact I wouldn't know where to start except with an apology and forgiveness.. y@};-

Not all of us are Zionists here.. But I'm a Christian Zionist. Why? Because we identify with the state of Israel our future and present homeland. In fact I would argue that much of scripture calls us to support Israel even if we aren't Jews..

Well, it is fun to debate. Have you ever visited this website before http://www.jewsagainstzionism.com/? Agree or disagree; this is one of the sites that shapes my views on Zionism and why I should not support Zionism.

Oh yes.. I'm well aware that not all Jews support Zionism. Many Jews call for Israel's destruction in fact.

I identify with Israel because I believe the Abrahamic land covenants are in full effect. Even today.

Will do but I'm pretty firm in my beliefs. I believe in the Jewish state.. With a full heart. I don't think that Zionism is a problem at all... It's a spiritual issue. Jews will be forever hunted down and killed even without a Zionist state. History has proven that..

Bwahaha, yes i have the nose to prove it too, at scholl i had nicknames like Gonzo, snoz, snozton ( a play on words with my last name ), and many others but i took it all with good humor.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

I understand. I'm influenced from the Messiah concept that the Messiah will lead the Jews back to the holy land.

And this is where i have found Christains to be anti-semetic ( not saying what you said is Gman ), they take the persecution of the Jews to mean that this is God's punishment on them which is incorrect.
I believe the persecution of the Jew's is the work of Satan, he wants to destroy God's people.

Yes.. Ultimately. How? I'm not really sure except that they are moved in the spirit somehow.
