true, kinda of like praying for health when the rewards are in heavens....Originally posted by dragg:contradictory.
if there is peace in israel there wont be judgment day.
hahaha,Originally posted by LazerLordz:I disagree.If you justify heavenly rewards on the basis on continuing a conflict down on God's Earth, that's not going to get you anywhere.
Pray for Israel.Not allow the conflict to continue in the hope that you will be blessed fo r it.Pray for the Palestinians too, because God said Love Thy Neighbour.
Get your facts straight!Originally posted by Ito_^:pls pray dat israel stop bullying other nations.
In a sense, I do agree with CE, there will be no peace in the middle east, but we can pray for the terrorists to stop harassing the Jews and we will pray for the protection of the innocents.Originally posted by Repented John:Hello, pls pray for the peace of Jerusalem & Israel. God has given the land of Canaan to Abraham & his descendants, so we shouldnt divide up the land given to them. In today's bible reading, in Genesis 13:14-18 & Gen 15:18-21 & these chapters 13-15 in Genesis all says that the land was given to Abraham. So we shouldnt be dividing the land.
Pls pray for the innocent Jewish ppl who are being targeted by terrorists. Pls pray that we will stop bullying the Jewish ppl & the Jewish govt will stop conceding land to radicals who are not interested in peace either for their ppl or for the land of Israel. Pls also pray for all the innocent Palestinians & others etc who are caught in the crossfire. This is very crucial to us. As Christians, we must pray for God's people. We got our Saviour & Lord from them even if some has rejected Him, not all!
I pray in Jesus name that the radicals will stop harassing the Jews & others & pray for peace to come upon the land & world. Pls do pray. It's uirgent. Thanks & God bless.
But we as His followers should not stand idly by too.Originally posted by dragg:hahaha,
contradictory again.
why did God allow all these in the first place?
Believing in the prophecies is one thing, that is if you take the prophecies literally .Originally posted by Chin Eng:all the above points lead us to a salient point: WHEN WE PRAY, WHAT DO WE PRAY FOR?
When I pray with my boys during their exams, it is NOT for good results. The prayer was for a healthy state of mind so that they can deliver what they had learnt.
I doubt that there will be peace in Israel, if we are to believe the prophecies of Revelations.
Yes, I do agree that we should pray for the people in those lands who may have to undergo a great amount of tribulation and suffering. Pray that God will reveal himself to them. Pray that no innocent are coerced into blowing themselves up in the name of ideology.
There will be no peace in the middle east, but at the same time, no devestation will fall on Isreal, it is God's CHOSEN nation.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Believing in the prophecies is one thing, that is if you take the prophecies literally .
I will still pray for the peace of Israel and that no devastation fall on her.

Originally posted by Ironside:Thank you for your comments. I am no holy man but God did say in His epistles that we are saints in Christ Jesus name. So we ought to act like saints & pray for those who are suffering around us not just for ourselves.
That peace will eventually come in the Millennuim. When the Lord reigns for a thousand years in Jerusalem. There is nothing wrong in praying for individual Jews of course.
In this time wherein God is building His Church, pray that they will trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation first and foremost and become part of the body of Christ just like other Jews who believed on Him during this age.
Pray also for Jews as a nation that the Lord Jesus will hasten the day of His coming, restore Israel and usher in peace all over the world.
I do agree with you John that it is wrong for them to divide the land. This is a total neglect of what God has revealed to them. a matter of unbelief on their part wherein they divided the promise land. This is what the antiChrist will also do in the coming tribulation:
Da 11:39 "Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, [b]and divide the land for gain.[/b]
Read the beautitudes in Matthew 5 etc.Originally posted by dragg:religion, like life is very contradictory.
i think it's him who should get his facts rightOriginally posted by dragg:who didnt get the facts straight?
the land belong to the palestinians, not the israelis.
I agree with u. So since we can't do much, we don't pray for the worse to come right? Love thy neighbour as thyself. Love God with all our hearts, mind soul etc. This sums up the 10 commandments. Faith, hope, love the greatest is love. Love never fails. Love never gives up. Love never boasts itself. Love is humble & kind to all people. Christ is love.Originally posted by LazerLordz:I disagree.If you justify heavenly rewards on the basis on continuing a conflict down on God's Earth, that's not going to get you anywhere.
Pray for Israel.Not allow the conflict to continue in the hope that you will be blessed fo r it.Pray for the Palestinians too, because God said Love Thy Neighbour.
The land was given to the Jews by God. It is rightfully theirs, according to the bible. And I second John and Ironside... the land should not be divided and handed back, what was handed back belonged to the Jews.Originally posted by dragg:who didnt get the facts straight?

the bible is only for christians.Originally posted by breytonhartge:Check you biblical history....
