God clearly and explicitly commands Christians to support the modern state of Israel. It\u2019s right here in the Holy Bible; give me a moment and I\u2019ll find the verse for you.<\/p>\n<p>Aha! Got it. Exodus 20:13, \u201cYou shall not murder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wait, hold on, that\u2019s not it.<\/p>\n<p>Here it is, Matthew 5:9, \u201cBlessed are the peacemakers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hang on, shoot, that\u2019s not the one. What I meant to say is Lamentations 2:19, \u201cLift your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint for hunger at the head of every street.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ah, wrong one, lemme thumb through this a bit more. Got it! Proverbs 24:11, \u201cRescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wait, sorry, no, it\u2019s Psalm 101:7, \u201cNo one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oh no actually it\u2019s Proverbs 6:16\u201319, \u201cThere are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oops, no, it\u2019s definitely not that one. Actually it\u2019s Deuteronomy 27:25, \u201cCursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No, dang it, that makes AIPAC recipients sound bad. Gimme a minute. Ah! Mark 12:31, \u201cYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No, wait, got it! Here it is, Romans 14:19, \u201cLet us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oh no, that isn\u2019t the one I was looking for, it was Second Corinthians 13:11, \u201cStrive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oh actually that one sounds kind of antisemitic in this context, gimme a sec.<\/p>\n<p>Got it! Ephesians 4:3, \u201cMake every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hold on, that\u2019s not it either. The one I meant to cite was Hebrews 12:14, \u201cMake every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oh boy, this really isn\u2019t going well. Lemme see\u2026 oh! James 3:18, \u201cPeacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gosh darn it, I made a mistake. The verse I meant to point to was First Peter 3:11, \u201cThey must turn from evil and do good; they must seek peace and pursue it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wait, no, it was Galatians 5:22, \u201cBut the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Actually it was Luke 6:35\u201336, \u201cBut love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oops, no, nope. Man this is way harder than I thought it was going to be. Oh! Hey! Found it! It was right here in Genesis the whole time, chapter 12, verse 3: \u201cI will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There! See? It\u2019s right there in black and white. God\u2019s saying we are commanded to support a modern state that we created in 1948, no matter what it does. The Bible is entirely clear and unequivocal about this, and says absolutely nothing to the contrary.<\/p>\n<p>Checkmate, heathen.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><i>I invite you to subscribe to my<\/i><a class=\" decorated-link decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/gracecoloredglasses\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0<b><i>newsletter<\/i><\/b><\/a><i>.
