I love the last line of your second comment, <em>"...in line with the Triune God’s take on this matter"</em>. In the debate I had on the Sojourners website I made the point that it doesn't matter what I or anyone else says, it only matters what God says in His word. The Bible commends those who don't only receive what others say about God but study His word to see if what they are hearing is true, <em>"10 The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so."</em> (Acts 17:10-11) Thank you again for taking the time to read and respond to my blog. Yohan,

That's a dangerous implication to lay on God's children and I cannot believe that He is pleased with such terminology being used against them." You sound so fine. Tell me, the Jewish people rejected the Lord Jesus Christ then, and they reject Him now, as a people and as a nation. The Moslems acknowledge Him as a prophet at least. Your understanding of the Lord Jesus Christ, His character, His teachings through the Word is that He would assign a special place for the land of Israel and the Jews ? That the Jews who are even drawing their own from all over the world, back to Israel, apart from doing much (right and wrong) to protect themselves and their land (of course the OT teaches this) are justified in doing so ? How are the Jewish people different from any other peoples of other lands who do not believe in Lord Jesus Christ; of course there is the difference that the Jews actually reject Him, but tout "the Holy Land" tourism line ? I have been to Israel, Palestine, "Holy Land" and love and respect the Jews and the Palestinians. However I do not consider any land holier than any other, nor do I think that the Triune God has a special place for a particular land or a particular people. All are of Abraham's seed through the Lord Jesus Christ. “If anyone from KTS reads this open letter I hope they will be more restrained in the future about assigning blood-guiltiness to other Christians.
