2000 years being the worlds pariah? What is smart about it? I call that pretty stupid.
They are smart people individually. Sometimes it is possible for people from some country
to be quite decent and smart as individuals but in the course of history to act like lunatics
as a nation. I could give you an example of such country not very far from Poland :)
It's not the case with Israel though - they know what they're doing.
Besides - you have to respect them for their constant faithfulness to their beliefs
and culture. Many other nations would lose their identity, not having their own
country for 2000 years, they didn't.
look what it got them.
It got them their own country back, with their ancient language alive again
and their culture and religion flourishing.
If I would believe in the bible fairytales I would be pretty
p*issed by now being a Jew! :(
You only think so, because you're neither Christian nor a Jew so you can't look
at things from proper biblical perspective (just as neither Yehudi nor I can look
at life from the perspective of your pagan cult).
"God told us" Hah! What an argument (...)
Believing to be "God's chosen"?
I do believe they are "God's chosen" because I'm Christian and that's what Bible
tells us. They were Chosen by God and they were faithful to him. Unfortunately
when the time came, they were unable to accept the fullness of God's revelation
in Our Lord Jesus Christ and sticked to their partial, incomplete revelation (it had
a lot to do with their pride and politics but that's a subject for a different thread).
It doesn't change the fact that they are chosen and their old covenant with God
is still valid. When the Day of Judgement comes, God will surely take that into
account.
On the side note, BB, when the Day of Judgement comes, you'll be pretty fuc*ked
if you continue with your pagan praying to trees, fire, earth or whatever your cult
worships instead of the only, true God.
I only wrote it, so if God asks me about you I'll be able to say:
"Hey, I warned the cu*nt - it's not my fault he didn't listen" :)
