“Christian Zionism" is a 19th century innovation that the Reformers and Puritans would've called heresy. -Christ fulfilled Israel's promises -The Church is God's people now - No ethnic group has special status - Territory in the Middle East has zero prophetic significance Modern Israel deserves what all nations deserve…evaluation by God's moral law, nothing more, nothing less. -Supporting Israeli nationalism isn't biblical. -Supporting power over the powerless isn't biblical. Follow Christ. Love enemies. Seek justice for the oppressed, whoever they are. Stop baptizing nationalism with Bible verses.

I spoke about this at church several months ago. Didn’t know how it would be received but I felt people needed to hear truth and not tradition.

Yes, absolutely! After digging into the scriptures as I’ve gotten older, I realize that I was taught a lot of tradition, legalism, etc and not the truth of scripture.
Furthermore, "Israel" in the biblical sense, is not a nation state, and never was. Israel includes anyone who loves God, and proof of loving God is love of each other. Israel the nation state is a mockery of the true Israel.
