Thanks for coming back.

Maybe you can help solve a mystery.

So I've always known that different people have different views on Israel.

I've never been upset about it.

Post-Gaza, I'm rethinking about if all those views are legitimate, but I know that decent

people have different views on Israel.

Totally fine.

And that includes Christians.

But in the past year, it does seem that for some Christian leaders, I'm going to call

anyone out by name, but Israel is the only thing that matters.

So they'll approach fellow Christians with one question in mind, where does this person

stand on the government

of Israel? And so it occupies a much greater percentage of mental disk space than I ever

imagined, certainly than it does for me. So what is that? Well, it's the old covenant. You know,

I was raised just non-denominational Christian in large-scale churches, and we were pro-Israel.

Yeah, yeah.

It's just a consistent deal when you look at, I'm always going to go back to scripture.

So I'm always going to use the Bible to reference my perspective and what I think is going on.

Yes.

The nation state of Israel has just become an idol to the church in regards to how they

pursue, not all of them, but how some of them perceive it.

And you have to ask why.
