ISRAEL IS NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION
There’s a widely held but mistaken view that Israel is a Christian nation and that Jews are Christians. The religion of Israel and Jews is Judaism and not Christianity. There’s a difference between Christianity and Judaism.
Christianity emphasises faith in Jesus Christ, who gives grace, empowerment, and guidance for living the moral life. Judaism teaches a life of holiness through performing mitzvot and emphasises the importance of adhering to the Bible’s standards of social justice as laid down by the Prophets.
Jews do not believe in the prophets after the Jewish prophets, including Jesus and Muhammad. Therefore, they do not subscribe to the idea that Jesus was the Messiah and the son of God, nor do they believe in the teachings of Islam.
Religious expressions of Judaism believe that God is one, has no form, created the world, is eternal and is still actively involved in world affairs. Different streams differ in the degree to which the law can be interpreted and applied to modernity.
In Judaism, the messiah will be a future Jewish king from the line of David and redeemer of the Jewish people and humanity(Ginzburg, 2001, p. 18). In Christianity, Jesus is the Messiah, the Saviour and redeemer. In Islam, Jesus was a prophet and the Messiah of the Jewish people who will return in the end times.

And Palestine is ?
Mr. Fred, know that Israel is still Gods’ Chosen Nation regardless of their current beliefs.
Anyone who fights Israel God fights them.
No one will be able to destroy Israel in this life and after except God himself.
And guess who dragged Jesus to the cross…
Chamu peleka Kuma Jews….. Ma Cubans bamu Zambia….
Love Fred M’membe or loathe him, he’s right here. Israel is a Jewish state and that means that most of its religious citizens practise Judaism.
The content is right. However, the purpose of this write up is sinister. Meembe wants to align himself ALWAYS with the other side away from the West.
The most important thing is that christians believe in the land of Israel. Whether the current occupants are christians or not doesn’t really matter.
Eh a whole write up from Afuledi without mentioning HH7? Anyhow Afuledi does Judaism support what you do vaku Matako??
I would rather align myself with someone who is useful.
What does the so called Palestinians give me other than terrorism. Abducting innocent people at a peace concert then holding then hostage while raping and killing some and using others as bates is so barbaric.
Those arabs are the worst racists u can imagine just ask blacks the middle East.
So ba mmmebe always supporting darkness.yaba
Isaiah 9:6-8
New International Version
6 For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
Correct analysis Comrade Fred Mmembe…
Israel is not a Christian state, it is however the origin of Christianity and there’s therefore that identity of Israel with Christianity.
At one time I was a fervent supporter of the Palestinian cause, the days of the old PLO and Yasser Arafat …a justified cause for statehood. But immediately it got so entangled with religion, and political Islam…the struggle assumed religious connotations, and kind of became alien to many people…the genuine and justified struggle of the Palestinians was hijacked by
extreme jihadists …and now it is difficult to really see whether the aspirations of Hamas, Hezbollah, Matryrs Brigade, Islamic Jihad and the like are really representative of the Palestinian people..Compromises are now difficult. Jerusalem now takes centre stage with religious claims of ownership by both Moslems and Jews.The Palestinian cause henceforth becomes blurred in Religious Zealotry. And as are all religious conflicts , since each one’s God is involved, resolution of the conflict is difficult.
If it wasn’t for religion, Egypt could have been asked to cede parts of Sinai to a future Palestinian State which can also incorporate Gaza and parts of Jordan , while West Bank can revert back to Israel..Cities like Bethlehem, Nazareth are in West Bank…historically Jewish areas .
The Arabs have enough land which can be shared to create a Palestinian state…but they don’t want …so the killings continue, totally unnecessary.
Blacks memorizing books then articulating issues like they know the genesis of where and when these issues started, when such issues started our ancestors were still roaming the African bushes stark naked and killing one another in tribal wars which we still carry on through our tribal politics. You make me sick!!!!
Mmembe, what is your religion?
Musumali will tell us if you hesitate or Kabimba! Kabimba know it all.
For a change, no HH mentioned.
