Show Notes:
Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, 2023; the bloody conflict leaves some Christians asking theological questions about the modern state of Israel. Is the current state of Israel or even contemporary Judaism the particular object of promises from God? Do Christians have an obligation to Israel and its political interests? The Thinking Fellows discuss the creation of Israel, asserting that it is a distinctly political object and not a nation specially chosen or preserved by God for eschatological reasons.

0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Thank You Fellows podcast. My name is Caleb Keith, and today I am joined by Scott Keith and Adam Francisco to do a very hot topic. You might even say a click-bady topic, but every once in a while you got to do it. |
0:36.2 | There's a lot of people asking this question |
0:38.1 | particularly protestants in the united states which is israel god's chosen nation i think that's |

1:00.3 | make political decisions or have sort of the information about the war in Palestine and |

2:08.9 | that out. Of course, my dad is on tough texts where they examine and try to give a faithful |
2:16.9 | explanation to difficult to interpret or difficult to teach |
2:21.1 | passages in scripture. And I co-host the Outlaw of God podcast with Steve Paulson, which is |
