Dark Clouds Gathering over America?

Re: Dark Clouds Gathering over America?

Palestine didn't rejoice and blossom though did it? I'm not so sure about the crocuses but I wonder if there was a textual error and "crocodiles" was meant.

Israel IS blossoming, despite the fact that in the main "Israel is an arid land, upwards of 60 percent desert".

In Deuteronomy 8:8, God calls Israel “a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey.” The olive tree, not surprisingly, is Israel’s national tree. With 2,600 native species of plants, Israel blooms profusely—with dramatic roses, lilies, tulips, carnations, iris, and gladiolas. And the small beautiful national flower, the anemone—also called the windflower—waves and dances on hillsides and in gardens - full article.

It's a land full of destructive hate now.

Windflower is that they call the bombs droped on Gaza and Jordan.

No more than the people of Iran could be called hateful to Jews because of the actions of their own government.
Many people in Iran love the Jewish people, so your statement is simply made from assumptions.

You are confusing the Jewish people with the Israeli Government

The verse I quoted above - “a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey.” is NOT about the government either, so why are you using those words to attack the leaders in Israel?

I'm not using those words to attack anyone or anything. They are meaningless pronouncements without any consequence. Also, I think the murderous leaders in Israel have committed more than sufficient crimes to warrant criticism by any ethical being.

Maybe so, but what about leaning over the fence and handing him an ice cold bottle of beer instead?

Just a thought.

Is my neighbour a Muslim in this scenario where I’m passing him beer and bacon sarnies over the fence?

Aren't you the fruit loop who claims to eschew organized religion? You seem to be quoting from extremely dubious sections of their fairy stories book quite liberally. Are you confused?

Re: Dark Clouds Gathering over America?

Man made organized religion including most of the 'Christianity' we are exposed to in this country is the main reason the majority of people in the UK have no idea what faith in Christ is.
That is the confusion.

So on what basis are you claiming the Scriptures I have quoted are dubious?

This is from your favourite: Deuteronomy 25:11-12. It states, "When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her."

Secrets = knackers.

Clearly dubious bollocks.

Even 21st century statements ripped out of their given context can look peculiar.
