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.

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?

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. :hehe:

Even 21st century statements ripped out of their given context can look peculiar.
Well done on using Google to find your testicle powered argument :thumbup:

The next time you find a sound-bite, try doing some research to see what it means.
And if you are reading the Bible, then praying to the Author for understanding would be wise too.

Why do you feel the need to capitalize certain nouns? Have you got a small god/dick syndrome? :hehe:

Making a point is very Christian. If you really want to engage someone it's probably best to avoid your habit of moving the conversation to male gentitalia at the earliest opportunity.

You're pretty touchy aren't you? Shouldn't you be turning the other cheek?

What point are you making, dear?

I merely quoted from your magic book.

It was a brave attempt at a significant and appropriate quote :thumbup:

America hasn’t had a functioning president for months and months , it’s barely noticeable and doesn’t really matter because there is a permanent unelected machine running in the background apparently.

Why us Brits are so concerned is a mystery.

In the course of my work I meet hundreds of people each year, and I can assure you that most people are anxious about the future; they may not say as much, but they are, and 9/11 caused a massive shift in attitude of almost everyone about what the future could hold. In the people I see regularly, the contrast in their outlook before and after that day was (and still is) so noticeable.

You’re making a big assumption there ….. I offered a face to face chat , as this often seems to discourage childish behaviour.

I’d meet anyone who gets a bit to big for their boots a face to face conversation, as the outcomes are usually positive.

Hope that helps

They (the USA) are a major player, but so are China, Russia, Israel & Ukraine with (for example) N Korea, UK, Iran, Syria along with numerous terrorist groups all looking to play their part in an end game.
Only in 2016, many people thought all hope had vanished just because of brexit.
