You are wrong. And you think you are a jedi knight u do. Lol
You are confusing the state city of Jerusalem with a Kingdom that never was.... sheesh
My responses to your or other's questions and/or statements are off topic?Actually we do, but you recognised that I know my terms and you only confuse them and so - typically you are looking for an exit strategy.
Obvious. NOt to mention your posts are hecka offtopic in the first place.
best,

I was not referring to the secular Jewish State of Israel, but to G-d's People, the Children of Israel; Jews.
And, the reason "why" is because G-d Chooses the Children of Israel; Yaakov Avinu, the son of Yitzchak Avinu; Yitzchak Avinu, the son of Avraham Avinu - as is recorded in His Torah.
He then directs Israel to live in the Land that G-d gives to them, the Land of Israel.
Over 3,000 years ago, G-d made all of these Promises and Judgments when He gave His Torah to the Children of Israel.
All of the rest of your list above came much, much later and were not mentioned in G-d's Torah.
The "Great Nation" descended from Avraham Avinu was Israel.
"The Lord said to Abram, Go forth from your native land and from your father's house to the land that I will show you.
2 I will make of you a great nation,
And I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
And you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you
And curse him that curses you;
And all the families of the earth
Shall bless themselves by you."
G-d's Torah then describes how Yitzchak; Yaakov; and Yisroel were the "great nation" that G-d had promised to Avraham Avinu.
Peace to all

Please read what i say very carefully before rushing to answer.
Firstly you mention Israel then you mention not the secular state of Israel but the Jews.
If you know the definition of "a Jew" then you will understand that a Jew refers to a people and not a nation.There was a nation called Judah and its citizens were called Jews.That nation Judah is no more in existenance because it vanished.
Secondly if you read your bible carefully.
genesis 12:1....."The Lord said to Abram, Go forth from your native land and from your father's house to the land that I will show you".
genesis 12:6,7
"Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
The Lord appeared to Abram and said, To your offspringI will give this land. So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him.
The verse is very clear.God promised a land and that land was in Shechem.Now you and i know that Shechem is in the West Bank.Hence it cannot be Israel because the promised land is in Palestine.
Thirdly the verse gives a condition regarding who this "great nation" will be.Please read very carefully.
2 I will make of you a great nation,
And I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
And you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you
And curse him that curses you;
And all the families of the earth
Shall bless themselves by you."
The condition is this promised nation will bless Prophet Abraham(peace and blessings be upon him).The question is who is this nation?
Note i know you will have difficulty in answering this simple question.But if you are a religious and truthful person then God will make it easy for you in admitting the truth.
Peace and may God guide you

Pretty much. He was just a narcissistic warlord and probable psychopath. It's absurd how he's been built up into some paragon of righteousness and godliness. Might as well revere Genghis Khan as the ultimate "prophet" of Allah. Actually Genghis Khan might have been a better person than Muhammad. Sorry, Genghis.
Over 2 billions on earth follow his message and respect him as a messenger.
Could you please tell me how many in this world know you ? and i wonder if even they care to know you.
I'm sorry, am I supposed to care about how many people are members of the Mohammad fanclub? I didn't realize this was a popularity contest. Even then, it doesn't mean much. 2 billion other people worship a Jew they think came back from the dead almost 2,000 years ago and that somehow his death is a "get of hell free" card. People believe silly things, especially in large groups.
By the way, there are not 2 billion Muslims, let alone "over" 2 billion.
Do you think there are 2 billions believing Jesus as God ? by name yes,but in reality they don't even though they pretend in believing so.
Putin: America Is Godless, Has Turned Away from Christian Values
I'm sorry, am I supposed to care about what your idea of a "true Christian" is? Let alone care about that wannabe tyrant, Putin's, political ramblings? (If you think Putin is a "true Christian" and Russia is a "true Christian" country, then that's frightening.)
I don't believe there is any true Christian,i believe that they found out that their faith on Jesus and the bible were irrational and then most have chosen the path of Atheism and some others chose Hinduism or Buddhism..etc .
Yes, there's no Christians in the world. Yeah, right. You go ahead and keep believing that. Whatever.
In reality,no
but by name,there are,maybe you are included even though you aren't .
I'm not a Christian. No one cares about who you think is a Christian or not, as if it matters. You apparently think that all those Wahhabis and Jihadists are "real Muslims" (since you gave such an over-inflated number of Muslims), so I don't really care about your opinion on anything.
That is a good point,Yes Islam is a peaceful religion and there is few fake Muslims. :yes:
Wow...
I'm just going to take a step back from this and think about whether I'm going to put you on ignore or not.
Did i make a mistake that disturbed you.
Are you saying that the loons who run Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Taliban, etc. are all "real Muslims"? That's millions of Muslims right there. You agree with Islamic theocracies that restrict human rights to a dreadful extent?
Or am I misunderstanding you?
