Why do evangelicals support the state of Israel & modern…

Why do evangelicals support the state of Israel & modern Jews when clearly they hate Christ, define themselves by denying him, & hold racial supremacist beliefs against the goyim?

    Because they are deceived. ?

  2. Jeremy Blatchford says:

    Because they are still blessed by God. While they may not be saved until they accept the messiah, God still loves them, just as he always has. He never abandoned them.

    Also, history has shown that the countries that support the jews prosper.

  3. Dan Richards says:

    Because God said He gave them that land forever. He said they’d be scattered all over the earth and that He’d gather them again. I’ll believe what God said…

  4. Bob Jones says:

    Read the Bible and you will see why

  5. Brian Bailey says:

    Scripture says “I will bless those who bless you … ” so they support Israel.

  6. Corey Matthew says:

    I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.

    Israel is Gods special people. Those who are against Israel, are those who are against Gods chosen people.

  7. Sally Barron says:

    I don’t really care how today’s Jews feel about me, I love the Lord as the Lord loves Israel. I will always support them

  8. Jacob Hoss says:

    Good question! There used to be lots of videos on YouTube of American missionaries trying to preach to Jews in Israel and getting the most horrific vitriol spit back at them. Rabbinic, Talmudic Jews are the ideological descendants of the false Jews that Jesus called the Synagogue of Satan.

  9. Zachariah Mumme says:

    As Christians, we are the new bride of christ, we are the church, we are Israel. Have you even read Hebrews?

  10. Steven Chakarovski says:

    Wow, love this question, I hope their are good answers. I’ll answer later.

  11. Karyn Davis Bravo says:

    Abraham is covenant included the land. It is an unconditional covenant. Jeremiah prophesied the nation (dry bones) would be brought back in unbelief and live again. The tribulation and Jesus 2nd coming is focused on the Jews. “You will not see me again until you say blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord”

  12. Harold Goldman says:

    God’s not dealing with a nation anymore the temple destruction shows that and before you tell about a 3rd rebuilt temple that’s never mentioned in scripture. God deals with individuals of every tongue people and nations. That’s God’s bride he wouldn’t have 2 brides and you know why that’s true. By the way God’s not interested in land but lives

  13. Paul Norman Hanover says:

    1. We share common unity of faith at many levels.
    2. We work towards similar economic, political, and social goals.
    3. We are excellent allies since the beginning of their govt.
    4. The Palestinian people, and many other Arab cultures treated Jews as second class citizens for centuries.
    5. Palestine aligned with Hitler and the Third Reich, was complicit in WWII invasion efforts of North African nations by Hitler, and used terrorist tactics against Palestinian Jews.
    6. The world powers stepped in, punished Palestine rightfully, and made a place for Jews who were displaced and scared all over the world.
    7 Also, I think there’s something in the Bible about them being God’s people and we should bless them.

  14. Elizabeth Bragg Strickland says:

    I’ve always thought the same thing too. Pastor says that we need to stay together with our Jewish brothers/sisters. Well they’re still the same as any other nonbeliever…. right? But they’re not set aside like they used to be. I mean we always want to be loving ,kind, non boastful…..to everyone, so why are they mentioned specifically?i just thought, well they at least believe in a God so they’re halfway there I guess but I always wondered that too

  15. Eric Larson says:

    we all need to be praying for the salvation of israel – all israel will be saved
    it is prophesied
    in fact, its the only thing keeping the messiah from returning
    he said he would not return until they say “blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord – hosanna!”
    they have been blinded – veiled —– “for a season”
    until the fullness of the gentiles comes in
    “…do not boast over the branches”!!
    and…
    “For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree?”
    and….
    “Notice therefore the kindness AND SEVERITY of God— SEVERITY toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness toward you, PROVIDED YOU CONTINUE IN HIS KINDNESS … OTHERWISE YOU ALSO WILL BE CUT OFF!!!!!!”
    (( yes.. emphasis is mine – but only the emphasis —– the WORDS are God’s words! and ye best HEED those words – because He’s using words like “CUT OFF” —- you don’t want to be cut off – this is ETERNITY we’re talking about – YOUR eternity – so.. THINK ABOUT IT, son! ))
    romans 11 —— read it
    and think about the tone you are taking

  16. Philemon Mokwena says:

    Because Every True God Worshipping Christian Knows That Israel Is The Natural Olive Of God And Through Faith In Christ, We Are Grafted Into Israel ? Romans 11:17-21 kjv ?

  17. Harold Goldman says:

    Wow I’m in a room of dispensationalists which is a man made system that all of you have been indoctrinated into i was also till I did the research. It’s just not biblical exegesis

  18. Carter Keller says:

    First, love your enemies. Second, be careful generalizing all Jews, just like we don’t generalize all evangelists as good or all Christians as mature. Third, the prophecies of the Bible require an actual State of Israel to exist at the end times, so they must be protected. Fourth, and probably most importantly, Israel has always been God’s chosen people through whom He has delivered His revelations. They are a nation that is sacred because their history is sacred, and God is not through with them yet. Lastly, they have been abused by the world for so long the Jews need to have people standing up for them now.

  19. Kamberan Giamkisi Saka says:

    Today every single individuals have a choice to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour that includes Israel and the world. During the tribulation period Israel will be saved as a nation remember they’re a chosen nation His very own in flesh.

  20. Daniel P Campbell says:

    I’m not a Zionist but Romans 11 proves God isn’t finished with her yet

  21. Joshua Milner says:

    As a Christian I love all people, maybe not so much before I was a Christian. Ur also we are called to love all people, not to mention God, who knows our true feelings would know if we were not being truthful. And, don’t forget that Jews are God’s chosen people and He loves them, so should we.

  22. Harold Goldman says:

    It’s always amazes me when someone give 1 verse and say see and the verse has nothing to do with Israel hilarious

  23. Kamberan Giamkisi Saka says:

    With pain and agony on the cross Jesus said “Please Forgive Them”. Who am I to hold grudges against Israel if the man who sacrificed Himself for us all asked His father with a pleading tone to forgive them?

  24. Jennifer L Arnold says:

    Because the time of the Gentiles has not eneded yet but it is coming. They are God’s chosen people and even Jesus desired them though they broke his heart. PS the Church did not replace Israel!!! We are grafted in which dies not mean we replaced them by any means!!!

  25. Glenn Buchanan says:

    Roman says that the Jews have been blinded for a season til the fullness of the Gentiles come in… to honour the Jews and there nation is following the father’s prerogative and the mandate that “man will be blessed if they pray for Israel and Jerusalem”… God has made a special Covenant with the Jews that will extend even into the tribulation being witnessed to by the hundred forty-four thousand Witnesses to extend the gift of Grace to them after the church has been raptured

  26. Jade Solomon says:

    Where in the Bible does it state that we ought to write Israel off? Just asking out of curiosity.

  27. Karyn Davis Bravo says:

    Chilalism was the view of early church. Changed a few hundred years later with Origen and when church/state merged. They were against “Jewish ideas” regarding national Israel’s future but they liked the priesthood and altar/ sacrifices. Replacement theology.
    Nations don’t arise apart from God’s sovereignty. After a millennium + of persecution leading to the holocaust there was wide spread sympathy for the Jews and they became a state. Attitudes expressed in this post are why the Jews need a homeland! Saying they are supremacists/Christ haters… do you call Others that? I doubt it – probably only the Jews. Reminds me of the many blood libels in history.

  28. Antolin Fabiala says:

    STATE OF ISRAEL IS SEPARATE AND DISTINCT FROM THE JUDAISM RELIGION.

  29. Joan Fowler says:

    No nation, religion, or political stances needs to support or deny Israel. God said he was done with them at the end of the OT and that was confirmed in 70AD with the destruction of Jerusalem, the destruction of the old brick and mortar temple, and the destruction of their lines, priesthood, and genealogies. Jesus brought and fulfilled the new and everlasting covenant already with believers. If Jews want to believe, great. No Christian needs to suck up to Israel, help gather them together just to fulfill some so-called future coming of their destruction…. again. That’s morbid.

    Done deal folks. You don’t get to have your eternal covenant while you still believe the old one still exists.

  30. Harold Goldman says:

    Thanks Joan but the rest of the posters have been indoctrinated into dispensational ideas

  31. Eleazar Jaring says:

    You need to understand that the promise of God to the elders Jew will not go undone. They are the original olive branches whilst the gentiles are just grafted. At the end of the day, Israel will all be saved according to the book of Rome 11, when the fullness of the gentiles comes.

  32. Charles Weskirchen says:

    The promises of GOD are yes and Amen. God is not done with Israel. The book of revelations is about GOD saving a remnant of his chosen people.

  33. Constantino Banjo Navarro III says:

    Jews hating JESUS will stop per Rom11. God’s covenant w Abraham is permanent. God did not divorce His relationship with Israel per Eze16 / Hosea2

  34. Harold Goldman says:

    I am a Jew and a believer

  35. Lee Mallard says:

    The state of Israel is not just a jewish haven. But besides the make up of the religion there, they are one of a very few who dont hate the rest of the world

  36. Tom Struller says:

    Israel is waiting for judgement of fire from the Lord.

    Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

  37. Bruce Butler says:

    I do not think jews typically ‘hate” Jesus. It all fulfilled prophecy. Their eyes are blinded currently until ” the full measure of the gentiles come in”. They are still a special people to God, and heir to promises.We are to pray for peace in Jerusalem, pray for their protection. I belong to CUFI. Christians United for Israel.

  38. Dan Waenet says:

    It does not matter. God loves them so we should too.

  39. Craig Hohnberger says:

    1- Have never seen where Jews or Israel hate Christians.

    2- Even if they did, we are told by Jesus to love our neighbors, love or brothers and even love our enemies.

    3- They are God’s chosen people. We as Christians are grafted into the promise God made them.

    4- According to GEN 12:3… Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed and whoever curses her will be cursed. We’d be crazy not to bless her.

  40. Cl Ing says:

    Evangelicals support the state of Israel & modern Jews due to God’s Biblical truth supporting God’s intention and purpose for Israel. Evangelicals know Israel has serious problems and issues just like the USA. I have issues with Israeli lack of Civil Rights with non-Jews and Christians. It is Israel’s autonomous job to straighten out their issues, not the USA’s. American Evangelicals support our own country and are Pro-Israel because God is Pro-Israel and the way God looks at Israel is she is the Apple of His eye: Favorite.

  41. Grace Williams says:

    God is NOT finished with Israel. Never have and never will. They will come to accept their Saviour during great tribulation. That’s the word of God.

  42. Jo Kelechi says:

    For the same reason God will save them.. His promises

  43. Rayapatiprasad Babu says:

    They hate out of ignorance.Every one hates or kills christians out of blindness created by Satan. We have to release through Love

  44. Nathan Hoffman says:

    Maybe Christians feel bad about the holocaust

  45. Eduardo Rusca Ceniza says:

    Biblically. Jew like Moslems are not brothers and sisters of Christians. Rather, they neighbors of Christian’s.

  46. Rene Angeles says:

    I treat Israel like any other country.

  47. Harold Goldman says:

    A quote from george “Because, inspite of Isreal’s rebelion they’re still God’s chosen people”. Then why does scripture say the believers are God’s chosen people? God does not have 2 people

  48. Harold Goldman says:

    heres what the word of God says As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious,you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. – 1 Peter 2:4-9 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1Peter2:4-9&version=ESV

  49. Anthony Linton says:

    Building the temple is a scam follow the money

  50. Ron Crawford says:

    Its the pandemic of a virus called zionism. It causes people who call themselves Christians to support every evil under the sun and think the are doing the work of God. One Baptist told me IDF must kill more Palestinians to reduce their population and its too bad if there was collateral damage. Hearts of stone turning them into racists.
