Christians, what do u think should be done with Jerusalem?

Question

The land of the Lord, the city of God has been claimed as an "eternal capital of the jewish state" by the israelis, as a city of arabs jews, christians and moslems alike, and as a city which has an international status (administered by the UN). As christians, which of these options would you prefer??

God did NOT give that land to israel, it's the UN that did...

and we should stop saying "it's not our calling" or "it's god's will", we have been given a brain to think... Jesus did not come to tell us "abide" or "stay still and wait for things to come"... we have been called to act... christians of the west in the 11th century did not accept jerusalem being in the hands of moslems... why should they accept it in the hands of the jews today?? Remember, Jesus is the king of the jews... and peace to all

oh, and plz let go of ur religious superstitions (jehova's, zionists, mormons, etc...). and no jews talking in the name of christians plz...

Answer 1

We all need to learn to share.

Answer 2

Many years ago.
Jehovah DEFINED the BORDERS.
YESHUA is MESSiAH....
He will be an enemy to Israeli enemies
He will be a blessing to those who bless the Jewish people,

WHY? is the whole world ALWAYS in opposition
to the Jew----bc' the entire world is in opposition to JESUS CHRIST!~

Let the world, and the Palestinians and all the enemies of GODS CHOSEN people, and borders....do as they will.

GOD is their Protection.

Look at the USA.
EVERY SINGLE TIME America has put a foot in to help divide the land, a "warning judgment" followed. America DOES have a rich history of helping the Jewish people, but GOD will not stay HIS righteous Hand if the USA goes against Israel......

NOR will He allow ANY nation or thing divide HIS BORDERS......
just watch and see........Its not magic, as HE foretold every single affair that is going on.....HE likewise warned, and HIS WORD WILL NOT RETURN UNTO HIM VOID!~

Answer 4

I think that Jerusalem should be ceded to the Disney Company and made into an international theme park.

Answer 5

The Israel nations owns that land and city. God gave it to them.

Answer 6

Jerusalem is not the capital of the State of Israel. The capital is Tel Aviv because the UN won't allow it to be in Jerusalem.

OPEN LETTER TO THE WORLD
ANONYMOUS

Dear World,

I understand that you are upset by us, here in Israel. Indeed, it appears that you are quite upset, even angry. (Outraged?)

Indeed, every few years you seem to become upset by us. Not long ago, it was the “disproportionate bombing” in Lebanon, before that it was the "brutal repression of the Palestinians"; before that it was Lebanon; before that it was the bombing of the nuclear reactor in Baghdad and the Yom Kippur War and the Sinai campaign. It appears that Jews who triumph and who, therefore, live, upset you most extraordinarily.

Of course, dear world, long before there was an Israel, we - the Jewish people - upset you.

We upset a German people who elected Hitler and upset an Austrian people who cheered his entry into Vienna and we upset a whole slew of Slavic nations - Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Russians, Hungarians and Romanians. And we go back a long, long way in the history of world upset.

We upset the Cossacks of Chmielnicki who massacred tens of thousands of us in 1648-49; we upset the Crusaders who, on their way to liberate the Holy Land, were so upset at Jews that they slaughtered untold numbers of us.

For centuries, we upset a Roman Catholic Church that did its best to define our relationship through inquisitions, and we upset the arch-enemy of the church, Martin Luther, who, in his call to burn the synagogues and the Jews within them, showed an admirable Christian ecumenical spirit.

And it is because we became so upset over upsetting you, dear world, that we decided to leave you - in a manner of speaking - and establish a Jewish state. The reasoning was that living in close contact with you, as resident-strangers in the various countries that comprise you, we upset you, irritate you and disturb you. What better notion, then, than to leave you (and thus love you) - and have you love us and so, we decided to come home - home to the same land we were driven out 1,900 years earlier by a Roman world that, apparently, we also upset.

Alas, dear world, it appears that you are hard to please.

Having left you and your pogroms and inquisitions and crusades and holocausts, having taken our leave of the general world to live alone in our own little state, we continue to upset you. You are upset that we repress the poor Palestinians. You are deeply angered over the fact that we do not give up the lands of 1967, which are clearly the obstacle to peace in the Middle East

Moscow is upset and Washington is upset. The "radical" Arabs are upset and the gentle Egyptian moderates are upset.

Well, dear world, consider the reaction of a normal Jew from Israel.

In 1920 and 1921 and 1929, there were no territories of 1967 to impede peace between Jews and Arabs. Indeed, there was no Jewish State to upset anybody. Nevertheless, the same oppressed and repressed Palestinians slaughtered tens of Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa, Safed and Hebron. Indeed, 67 Jews were slaughtered one day in Hebron in 1929.

Dear world, why did the Arabs - the Palestinians - massacre 67 Jews in one day in 1929? Could it have been their anger over Israeli aggression in 1967? And why were 510 Jewish men, women and children slaughtered in Arab riots between 1936-39? Was it because Arabs were upset over 1967?

And when you, dear world, proposed a UN Partition Plan in 1947 that would have created a "Palestinian State" alongside a tiny Israel and the Arabs cried "no" and went to war and killed 6,000 Jews - was that "upset" caused by the aggression of 1967? And, by the way, dear world, why did we not hear your cry of "upset" then?

The poor Palestinians who today kill Jews with explosives and firebombs and stones are part of the same people who ­ when they had all the territories they now demand be given to them for their state -attempted to drive the Jewish state into the sea. The same twisted faces, the same hate, the same cry of "itbach-al-yahud" (Massacre the Jew!) that we hear and see today, were seen and heard then. The same people, the same dream - destroy Israel. What they failed to do yesterday, they dream of today, but we should not "repress" them.

Dear world, you stood by during the holocaust and you stood by in 1948 as seven states launched a war that the Arab League proudly compared to the Mongol massacres.

You stood by in 1967 as Nasser, wildly cheered by wild mobs in every Arab capital in the world, vowed to drive the Jews into the sea. And you would stand by tomorrow if Israel were facing extinction.

And since we know that the Arabs-Palestinians dream daily of that extinction, we will do everything possible to remain alive in our own land. If that bothers you, dear world, well ­ think of how many times in the past you bothered us.

In any event, dear world, if you are bothered by us, here is one Jew in Israel who could not care less.

Answer 7

I think we need to throw our support behind a Jewish Jerusalem with tolerance for Christians and then keep our nose out of their affairs.

You just don't mess with the "G.C.P."
