    Priests demand probe after arson at ancient church in West Bank's last remaining Christian town

    So then, you do see the difference. Why are we having a debate over it? Here is another example: “But you [the Body of Christ] are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His...

    Israel existed as a nation even before they occupied the territory. Israel existed as a nation even while they were in Babylonian captivity. But Israel did not exist as a state during those times. See the difference?

    They were in His Father's house, which is why the aggression was justified. Is that really something you've missed all these years?

    Should pulpits remain silent on politics?

    It was "...my Father's house." We should be that aggressive within the Body of Christ. Notice that none of Jesus' volitional travels took Him to the palace.

    Should Christians Condemn People?

    Should Christians Condemn People?
